Very small room. We had a few luggages and it was difficult to move around. Other than that highly recommended

Super friendly owner. Great location close to train station. Super clean facilities. Coffee/tea, kitchen available. Comfortable bed.

Nothing!

Clean and really comfortable. Everything was hassle free :)

Stayed in September 2023

Only 2 showers and bathrooms for 15 people. The mixed dormitory room is quite cramped, no space for luggage whatsoever. The whole hostel is pretty small, but has everything you need, so maybe not the most comfortable but good enough. Slightly too expensive as for the conditions

It was nice. 10minutes from the station. Shower gel, shampoo and conditioner are provided. Cool common area with nice people. Kitchen with free tea and coffee. Free maps and guides of Odawara and Hakone

The luggage space, maybe a luggage rack outside the rooms.

It’s literally 5 min walking from the train and bus station. Since I had the 3 day Hakone pass, I walked everyday to take the bus and train. I also enjoyed the town Odawara, the beach, castle, 2 min walk to shops , restaurants. The place is small to have luggage in the room, but typical for Japan, as the thin mattress too. I liked how the kitchen had everything for cooking, also a chill out area with lots of information about things to do in the areas.

Very kind staff! Arrived an hour past check in and he came to meet me and was very response to messages! Very comfortable bed too!

This review is hidden because it doesn't meet our guidelines.

Two bathrooms and one toilet are not enough for the number of beds. The dorms are quite cramped and no lockers to keep belongings in.

The location was the single best thing. The staff were also friendly and helpful!

The hostel owner threw me huge temper and stomped out of the hostel giving me total shock- I travelled alone with two luggages from the UK to Tokyo and arrived at Odawara via JR train. It was a long and troublesome journey, needing to handle two luggages myself. On my journey to Odawara, I saw from Instagram that same-day/ next-day luggage transfer service is common and affordable in Japan and hence enquired Reina and the hostel owner Hayato when I checked in. Reina was very helpful in helping to search for the delivery services. It was 18:40 on a Saturday evening so I understand that most customer services hotline was closed. I made it clear that I have enough time (4 days) to sort out the luggage transfer service and it is just an enquiry so no rush to decide on that Saturday night. Hayato was at first quite welcoming and gave me some suggestions to where to go in Hakone area. However, after a while, he insisted to sort out my luggage transfer service on that very night with insufficient information and started pushing me to decide on sending my luggages away on the 2nd day (instead of the penultimate day I checked out). I insisted on deciding and paying only upon receiving a clear reply from the Yamato luggage transfer service. Hayato then threw me huge temper and stomped out of the hostel which gave me total shock. I appreciate Reina's help in searching for relevant information but still feel very bad from being thrown such bad temper by the owner. No customer should be treated in this way. If you are not happy to help, just say you cannot help! Side note: In the end, I found that it is so much easier to take my luggages to the 7Eleven convenience store (at the East exit, next to the bus stop) and ask for Yamato luggage transfer service. In my case, my flight was from Narita Airport early morning on 11th, so I took the luggages to that convenience store on 9th (by 3pm) and I successfully collected my luggages before 7am on 11th from Narita Airport.

Hostel is around 10-15 minutes walk from the station. Location-wise, it is not super convenient and close but considering the price, it is acceptable. You just have to clear out your stuff from the room to check out, so it was easy. One has the option to leave their belongings at the hostel's common area on the check-out day if they want to spend more time to explore before heading off elsewhere.

The location, the staff, the accommodation, everything.

The hostel was very clean and provided us with all the necessary facilities. The front desk was extremely friendly and answered all our questions with a smile and we also had a nice chat as well! The location is super convenient as its a 10-15min walk from the train station, generally you could reach many beautiful locations within 15-20min. Finally, Odawara was surprisingly more beautiful than expected. We were blown away!
