The place was clean, quiet and well-located. The hosts did a good job when it comes to decoration and everything was labeled in English, it was really helpful. Hiroko and Kazu are very thoughtful, a little welcoming note was placed next to the door and she even offered me a ride to go back to the station for me to avoid having to carry my backpack on the way. Definitely recommend this cute hidden hostel.

Helpful and friendly host provided useful travel info. Shared bathrooms not a issue as there are more shower rooms than bedrooms! Well provided and clean kitchen. Free parking next to hostel.

Hiroko was a hero to us as our flight was delayed 2 hours and we only reached Wakayama in the midnight. She offered us the ride to the hostel and welcome us with her warm heart and explained everything to us. The room is really tidy and she has prepared the futon for us! I really like it! Toilets are very clean! Very quiet neighborhood! Will definitely recommend others to stay!

This is a special hostel in Wakayama. Hiroko is so inviting and went over maps and the free bike rentals when we arrived so that we would know more about fun activities. The hostel is beautiful and clean. We loved staying there. We also really enjoyed being in Wakayama City and biking around to the castle, gardens and exploring around. It was a great location!!

Great place to stay, host Hiroko is super friendly and helpful, the place is clean and has many details on the effort to decorate the place. Convenient store and Donki only a stone throw away.

Hosts are super nice and provided me with Infos for my sightseeing plans. They also helped me, when my luggage arrived a day later, so I could already be out and explore! The room is spacious, has everything you need and is clean. The futon was very comfortable. The hostel is conveniently located, a very good onsen is just around the corner. Would definitely recommend.

Hiroko and Kazu were delightful, friendly and very accommodating. We loved staying here at the start and end of our journey, it felt like a home away from home :) Very clean, spacious and comfy rooms, bathrooms and kitchen area were exceptionally clean and maintained. Great location for exploring the area as well.

There is absolutely nothing to complain about... The only thing I got is that the walls are pretty thin, but then again I'm just a light sleeper.

I got picked up at the harbour, and brought to my room 2 house prior to my check-in. They said it was okay. The room was clean and ready. I got shown around and the lady even told me about good places to visit, eat and relax at. Super nice.

Miss Hiroko was very accommodating and helpful. She offered to take me to the train when I checked out. The hostel was very clean (rooms, shower room, toilet, hallway) and the kitchen amenities were complete. It's recommended for those who value cleanliness and peacefulness just like the owner. Best for solo travellers and couples. Walking distance to the delicious ramen (Maruta-ya Ramen) which was recommended by the owner. Family mart is beside and bus stops are near. There's also free bicycle, I used it to go to Wakayama Castle.. Just 5minutes I guess. She even let me leave my baggage in the hostel after I checked out since I was still going around Wakayama city. Very very understanding and kind.

The hostel is very warm and comfortable and makes you really feel like home. I arrived in Wakayama earlier and Hiroko-san allowed me to check in early. She’s very kind and accommodating and she suggested good local eats around. The hostel is very clean and organized and space is fully utilized. Notwithstanding, my room is very spacious. You will not have problem with shared amenities. I will definitely stay here again.

The hostel is 20 minutes walk from the train station. Since you are picked up by the owner, this is further no problem.

Before arrival, the owner contacted me and offered to pick us up from the train station. We were very warmly welcomed at the hostel. We were given tips for things to do in the area. The room corresponded to the pictures and was larger than expected. There was even a personalized greeting on the door. All the rooms were very clean and tidy. There was complimentary tea and coffee in the kitchen. In the hostel there are several showers and a washing machine that you can use at any time. At the hostel we could use the bikes there for free to explore the area. There is also a supermarket right nearby. At the end of our trip we were driven to the train station. This hostel is could highly recommend!

The hostel is 20 minutes walk to the train station which is a long way with luggage. There was a noise just outside my bedroom windows all night which made it difficult to sleep.

Communication was fast and clear. I was picked up from the train station. Host was waiting for me. Hosts speak beautiful English and they are so kind. So many facilities! Coffee and fresh cow's milk.

The room was very nice, clean and comfortable. the facilities were super clean and there were free bike rentals which was amazing! Towels were included and there were enough showers. The only thing was the lack of a communal space but it wasnt too bad. The location was really good (20min walk to Wakayama JR station or theres a bus that takes you there) and there were many restaurants and shops in the area. There is a convenience store right beside the hostel.

Hiroko and Kazu (the owners) are amazing people that were very kind and ready to help. Hiroko even picked me up from the train station! They offered a lot of very helpful information for my stay at Wakayama. I'm very happy to have followed their advice as that made my visit a wonderful one! They speak English, French, and Japanse! Would definitely stay again and would very much recommend staying at this hostel!
