Warm and cosy environment, felt very welcome from the very first greeting.

Extremely friendly staff that helped us with whatever we needed. This included early check-in, letting us take towels to Kinosaki onsen, and giving tips for the area. It was a great alternative to staying for a much higher price in Kinosaki itself, though be aware that trains don't run as often as they do in larger cities. Renting a car or staying for more than one night would be good if you wanted to do more in the area.

We had a lovely time here. The owners are so sweet and warm and a fount of information. We really enjoyed the common area with fellow travelers. It felt like being in somebody's kitchen and living room together. It was nice to chat with other tourists for a change after staying in more private hotels. The price was great for our private room. There were plenty of very clean toilets and showers to share with other guests.

Nothing. It was a smooth experience overall. They went over and beyond to think of everything we needed. They even had spare charging cords and adapters in the room if we needed it

My favourite hostel in Japan ! Perfect to enjoy some days in Kinosaki, 15 min drive or train The house is located in some very narrow and pretty streets it makes the vibes perfects ! Everything is very clean, they have a lot of stuff to cook and a nice living room ! And the staff is amazing (Meg is fluent in English) ! One of the staff even ran under the rain to show me the parking spot, came back home to grab an umbrella and brought it to me 😭 Really love this hostel !

Nice location close to several Izakaya, restaurants, shops and only a short walk from Toyooka JR Station. Really great place to stay, especially if staying in Kinosaki Onsen is out of budget - this place is ideally located only a short train ride away. Owners Meg and her Mother who run the place are super friendly and accommodating. Everything is clean, beds are comfortable and well catered for with sockets in each bedspace. It's really helpful that little things are provided if needed, like charging cables in each bedspace, ear plugs, Toiletries etc. AC and Heater in the dorms too.

Place was very clean and comfortable. Amenities provided was complete and high quality. The host was friendly and welcoming. It exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend this place if you don't mind using shared bathrooms and washing up facilities.

Location is very good near the station but there isn't much in the area, this is not the fault of the property. During my stay, another guest had a strong odor that kept me awake at night for quite a while before I had to spray some perfume on my area, again not the fault of the property or staff.

Staff was super friendly and accomidating. The 24 h acess is wonderful for people leaving early in the morning such as myself. The vibes and decorations was very good and the place was warm and clean.

Hosts were lovely. We stayed here and took a day trip to kinosaki onsen, facilities were open late even after we got back and it was warm, quiet and cozy. Beds were so comfortable and they had all the amenities you might need while traveling even for a hostel. Would be more than happy to stay here again!

Incredibly renovated hostel in an old meat packing building. The exterior is stunning and the interior beautifully restored. A must stay place in Toyooka

The place is very clean and comfortable; it feels very homey. The owners/personnel are very warm and accommodating, too. The train station is nearby, and so are restaurants and convenience stores. I will definitely stay here again once I'm back in Toyooka!

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed staying at this very cute and comfortable little hostel. Meg was a lovely host and cooked us a beautiful home style meal and we also had some great local sake. Excellent value, highly recommend especially eating in! The other woman who checked us in was also very friendly and helpful. You can tell Meg and her mum care about real Japanese hospitality. Thank-you very much!

The temperature in the 1F was really hot. There was no small chair or anything to sit on in the room.

The property, facilities (kitchen, shower) was great and kept really clean. The hosts Meg and her Mom were so kind and friendly to talk to. I loved the kitchen area/ lounge and you could store food in the fridge. The room and mattress were comfortable.
