    Great hostel - lovely owners & two very cute cats. I felt very comfortable during my stay & as the hostel is so close to the station it’s really easy to get around & explore.

    The lights out at 11:00 is a bit extreme. All the women in the women's hostel wanted to sleep at around 10PM but the lights were on a auto timer and could not be switched off beforehand.

    Conveniently located near the station, maybe a 10 minute walk at most. The hostel is near a convenience store and little italian style restaurant which is quick and easy for dinner. Clean facilities with easy to check in methods

    The staff were lovely, everything I needed to know about location and facilities was all given to me prior to arriving, and I was also given a tour of the space so I didn’t get lost. It is located closely to Toyama station, as well as the trams, I had a wonderful stay and would recommend this hostel to anyone!

    It's normal for capsule hostels but it felt so easy to hear the people next to you. Since it wasn't fully booked, I think many travelers would love a little space between used beds. But there were free earplugs, which was nice.

    Small details and extras like lots of signs, peaceful spaces, amenities. The staff was very helpful and understanding with me.

    Nothing. But it could be noisy if there were full of guests in the mixed dormitory. In my case, there were few people, so it was very quiet.

    Very spacious, clean, and comfortable. The dorms beds feel very private once you close the curtain. There’s a big selection of manga and a couple board games too. Great for foreigners and Japanese people alike.

    Very nice privately run hostel near toyama city station, inhabited by 2 cute cats

    Good to know: The Hostel entrance is usually locked between 10am and 4pm and the staff might not be around. In case of early luggage drop before Check-In at 4pm you need to contact the hostel in advance to receive the door pin. In my case the pin didn't work and another guest heard me knocking while passing by the main entrance to let me in. The Hostel staff also immediately replied to my messages and was very helpful. Make sure to have the door pin available when you first arrive at the hostel before the regular check-in time of 4pm.

    Very friendly and welcoming staff, great facility with a spacious kitchen, a nice library and many couches to chill / rest. nice locable storage box and storage space within bed cabin and enough space for large luggage within dorm room. good location with 7minutes walking distance to toyama main station for access to public transport. the two cats are the highlight

    The host had friends over in the kitchen area both nights I stayed there, which was a little loud and it felt like I was intruding into a private living room. But that's just a me problem :)

    The facilities were spotless. It was kind of empty so it was pretty quiet. They had everything I needed for a short stay.

    There's no elevator, so be wary if you have a lot of luggage - two flights of stairs!

    Helpful, friendly, communicative staff! There's paid laundry, and free bike rentals and umbrellas. Location is close to the station and Kansui Park which is a wonderful stroll. Cats in the hostel are lovely. There's also a library nook for some quiet work if needed. Dorm beds were spacious and comfortable. Great wifi.

    When i stayed in the hostel, it was quite and great to relax. The private space in the "capsule" is huge enough to stand up. Hostel offers an library and kitchen too. Great rooms to relax and enjoy time with the two Cats. Everything was very clean and Equipment looked new, quite good condition.

    None I can think of

    Staff was friendly and washing services were provided for a good price given that it is difficult to find laundromats in the area. Amenities were also sufficient. Given its a dorm, smaller size per person is expected but its nice that I can srand within my bedspace (other dorms or hostels typically are bunk bed style and only good for sitting on).

It is near to the Toyama station, convenience store and a wonderful place to walk around. I would definitely love to stay here over and over again.
