+ Nothing at all. Please stay away from them.
- The private room I booked was very small and on first floor. I had to carry my large suitcase via narrow stairs very difficult to climb. No bathrooms in the floor I lived and the mixed dorm was right next to my private room giving me less privacy. The appliances kept in the hostel was very dirty and very old. Also the people running this place are very rude and unaccomodating. There are far better places to stay in Himeji with better value for money.
- 😡BED BUGS😡
It is rather a 20 dorm room and not a 10 dorm room as two dorms are directly connected to each other and the wall do not go up to the ceiling. So you hear every noise from both rooms. Moreover you have to go through the first room to be able to reach the second one which adds up to the noise. For our taste there were too many rules written on signs which made us feel a little bit unwelcome. But overall the host was nice giving us tips for himeji and beds were comfortable and everything was clean
+ I really liked the location, it was very easy to get there from the station and it was also close to the castle
- We had a private room, but it was very noisy (above the kitchen and toilets, so it was hard to sleep). There was no kitchen for guests, and even the morning coffee had to be paid for. During a 40°C heatwave, when the government issued a heat warning, it was not possible to shower or use the air conditioning in the daytime, which made the stay very uncomfortable.
The hostel is clean and centrally located, but the rules are extremely strict. After check-out, you’re not allowed to enter the property at all – not even to use the toilet or eat something. I found it quite outrageous that I wasn’t even allowed to go to the bathroom. You’re only allowed to pick up your luggage until 2 pm. Would not recommend if you value basic hospitality or flexibility.
+ Great location
- The guest house is not accessible between the hours of 10:00 and 16:00 for cleaning. As a guest, you have to leave. When I asked about it, I was told it was mentioned in the fine print on booking.com. The hostel is tiny, so cleaning should not take 6 hours. This is just extremely inconvenient. I have not seen this requirement in any other guest house in Japan. I would not stay again.
+ Centrally located, air con worked well and easy access to the castle and train station. The eclectic furnishings were cool and lots of shops and food options nearby.
- Didn’t feel overly welcome, room very small and basic with only a large kind of towel to sleep under. Didn’t like that you had to pay extra for towels etc and soundproofing wasn’t great.
They were very strict on the rules. I had a later bus the day of departure, and I asked to wait in the common space ( it was raining so doing stuff outside was not very nice). But I was not allowed to stay, only on the benche in the front. Everyday I had to leave my bed at 10 because they wanted to clean. You couldn't stay inside of the hostel ( not even the common space). So you cant sleep in, even if you don’t leave that day, you cant be inside of the hostel, including the common space.
+ The location was convenient.
- I didn't feel welcome nor comfortable there. I think the host meant well but she put up so many rules and notes that it made me feel like I was inconveniencing her. The place is plastered with notes what to do and not to do, including to flush the toilet.!?
+ It's a hostel, with basic accommodations. Location is near major attractions.
- Room was a little snug, and the Japanses style beds were just OK.

+ La situation, sur le cours couvert et près de la gare -et du château-, le lieu, ancienne maison en bois, table chauffante traditionnelle, le calme.
+ Juste entre la gare et le château, parfaitement situé. Personnel très gentil. C'est propre, impeccable.
- Le personnel parle difficilement Anglais, mais c'est ok. En revanche, ils sont assez peu présents sur place.

+ スタッフが親切で、ロケーションがお城に近くてよかった。
+ Location is amazing between the station and Himeji castle, right on the shopping street. Still, the place was quiet at night and perfect for sleeping. It has a large common area, and the owner was really helpful in recommending places to visit and eat
+ A lovely cosy hostel !
+ La proximité et la gentillesse de la patronne
- On entend les voisins des chambres voisines mais au vu du prix difficile de se plaindre
