Wood upper bank beds are quite squeaky,I think.

The hotel is located near Hakata station. It’s pretty easy to take a subway to the airport. In Hakata station you can find many shops,restaurants and ramen. Everything is nearby.

I felt the pressure to be extra quiet that I was almost nervous about making noises...and only one restroom/ shower per gender may not be enough during the peak time to get ready...

close enough to the major station

1.Long chains to lock our luggage sound very disturbing when the customers check in late while we are sleeping !! 2. No lobby

Location - close to Hakata station.

They started cleaning before the check out time, so there was a bit of a noise before 10am. The door seperating the girls only room from the rest of the space was loud when closing, but this could depend on the people staying at the room each time.

Spacious bed

There wasn't any sofa for relaxing in the common area.

Toilet and shower were super clean

when you're on the bottom bed, there's a gap between the curtain and the top bed, so people passing by can peek on you

Regular hostel. dorm is quite spacious and locker are designed to accomodate suitcases.

Allowed early check-in. Aircon worked well Curtains for privacy were of a good standard.

Great that we managed to check in early around 9am, super helpful as I was already in the area, so I didnt have to carry out bags around all day

Quality of the facilities was low and there were a lot of confusing things in the setup and accompanying rules. There was also no possibility for luggage storage. Furthermore, everything was so tightly packed, even for a Hostel/guest house, that a capsule hotel would have been more comfortable. Shower could not be used after 24:00.

Location is close to Hakata station. Staff was nice and they work with most common social network messenging services like whatsapp, line, kakaotalk and wechat, making communication easy.

1. Had to leave my bag out where someone could have rifled through it. 2. The pillow felt like a sack of sand. It didn’t even full up the pillow case. Had an uncomfortable night. 3. The wifi wasn’t working well inside the capsule. So I had to move out into the dining room to research my travel for the day.

The room in general looked very cosy and neat. The capsule was nice. Bathroom looked nice, and felt safe because it was not in an enclosed room. Everyone tried hard to be quiet. Staff was communicative. First time capsule experience and I enjoyed it! I love diving into dark holes and building nests like a rabbit.

The beds are unconfortable (you need to climb a pretty awkward ladder) and the only privacy between beds is a mere curtain. It's called "Hakata Station Front" but it's quite a walk to get there, even if it's not that far. The owner smokes on the entrance which is a bit annoying. It's not horrible, but it has those little details that could be better.

It was clean and organized.

No elevator Safe sticks off the wall inside bed space you can get hit if not paying attention Luggage storage area is only 1.2meters tall not comfortably accessible

Stayed in June 2023

The door that so called separated the mixed from female only. It wasn’t really a separation. Storage lockers didn’t have space to store items

I was charged more just to have a door that separated the mixed dormitory from the female only section. That’s not really a separate room especially since you can hear everything as the door does not cover from roof to the floor. You could hear the males on the other side. I’ve stayed at places where there’s a separation between male only, female only and mixed but here it might as well have been mixed.

A bit noisy Only one shower and toilet on first floor

Location is great

Stayed in April 2023

Sometimes it feels a little cramped, especially when I get the bed right by the door to the women's dorm door. When the door opens, the door blocks access to bed 207. If you are sitting at the mouth of the bed, you might be blocking the door. This is not a big problem. Also, I hope that the kitchen sometime gets more pots and pans and dishware.

This is the second time I have stayed at JAM. The first was in March 2019. Of five hostels/guest houses I have stayed at in Fukuoka, I think I like JAM best because of its price, its central location near the Hakata bus and train transportation hub, its kitchen, and its cleanliness.

The storage area for my heavy luggage was upstairs, and there was no elevator. The common room had a motion detected light, so when I was there alone to read the lights kept shutting off.

It was very close to Hakata Station. Plenty of restaurants and stores close by. It was very clean and organized.

Stayed in August 2022

There could be better chairs in the lounge (with a back). The beds have a really thin mattress so it was a bit too hard.

The staff was really friendly, the equipments are good and the localisation is perfect.

Everything was great, had a really good time, really near the station which was really helpful, bathroom and room were really great

Do not book the double bed in dorm/ 217-218. It was claustrophobic as the roof is a lot lower than all the other beds, the bed is directly above the luggage storage so all night and morning you will hear rustling under you. The bathroom while clean was part of the actual room so you can hear people all night coming to and from. The hairdryer and sinks are way to close to the beds and a 12am -6am restricted time is way too lenient. Forget about a good nights sleep here especially being in the room I was put in. In addition to all of this the bed curtains did not cover the whole bed so privacy was not present as well as the room being unbelievably hot and stuffy. Didn’t sleep properly in the 3 nights I stayed.

It was very clean and the location was perfect.

Stayed in October 2024

WiFi is terrible. Room's wall are paper thin, no privacy and you can hear everything for other rooms from chat to snoors. Mattress and pillow were rock hard solid.

Clean room, nice location, friendly employees

The early check out, I’m guessing that the early check in results in this but the beginning of the cleaning happens at that same time as check out. So if you are a light sleeper be prepared to be woken up when the cleaning staff wake people up because they have to leave in 20minutes.

I really liked the location, it’s a quick little walk to Hakata station, it’s also super close to a JP post office (if you are looking to send anything to people back home like I did) which has staff who speak pretty good English and willingness to help you with sending packages. There are lots of restaurants and convenience stores in the area as well to eat at. The early check in is also great and the timing for it worked really well for my travels, the gentleman who checked me in was super nice and very helpful when I had questions later on in my stay. I ended up extending my stay here because I really like the location to Hakata station. This is a pretty small hostel put it has everything needed to have a comfortable stay.

If you don't like privacy or getting sleep in your holidays- that's the place to stay! It's a capsule like hostel, but the capsules are mainly separated by curtains which don't close completely. There are 12 people sleeping in one room. You don't expect a quiet night when you sleep in a dormitory but let me explain the things which make it even worse: There is no wall between the bathroom and the dormitory. You will hear everyone brushing their teeth or doing their beauty programme in the middle of the night. Everybody has to use the toilet at night and you will hear everything. There a many rules you have to follow - many of them are useful. But using a hairdryer is only forbidden from midnight to 6am! The storage room for your luggage under one bed is ridiculously small. You can't stand in that place while trying to get something out of your luggage. Of course you hear the noise of the luggage and people looking for things in plastic bags all night long. The beds are kind of a futon, but it's very hard. The pillow is too flat and the bed is a bit short for tall people. I also found some black hair on the sheets. Nowadays there's a lack of thoughtfulness. The people will do phone calls in the middle of the night and minimum of two people won't silence their phones. The next thing I really didn't like is that you can't leave your luggage anywhere before check in (between 12:00-16:00). We could stay one hour at a family mart store, had to stay the rest of the time outside - in winter. in my opinion it would be absolutely no problem to send the code of the door lock to the guests. You don't need to get a key to get inside. We just could have waited the almost four hours in the dining room. In whole Japan (stayed for 1 month) we could bring our luggage before. Furthermore there are cameras everywhere. I didn't know that I stayed in the 'big brother house'.

The kitchen and bathroom were clean and modern Nice blankets Really close to Hakata Station Employees were nice and the hostel dog was really cute
