+ The location

- Don’t go there : the owner is very strange and entered my room in the middle of the night. I stayed there for 5 nights. On the second night, I had drinks with the owner and some Japanese guests at the bar, which was actually really fun. The next day, I didn’t see him. The day after, I greeted him, but to my surprise, he didn’t respond and seemed annoyed. I assumed it was because he was cleaning the hostel, which, by the way, was very dirty (lots of hair in the shower and humidity everywhere). So I thought, “Okay, maybe he just doesn’t like cleaning and is in a bad mood.” At 11 p.m., he was still cleaning and making a lot of noise next to my room. Since I hadn’t slept at all the night before due to jet lag, I politely asked him how much longer it would take. He just replied “cleaning” in an annoyed tone, so I understood he didn’t want to talk. I went back to sleep, and this is where things got really bad. I was alone in the room (actually, I was alone in the whole hostel!), and around 3 a.m., he entered the room without warning to change all the beds. This was extremely weird and made me feel very unsafe. I asked him what he was doing, and again, he just muttered something without really answering, almost aggressively. It felt very intrusive and unsettling. I’ve never experienced anything like this before in a hostel. The next morning, I immediately looked for another place and left as soon as possible. I lost money, but I just wanted to enjoy my holiday. At that point, it wasn’t even about sleep anymore, it was about feeling safe and respected as a guest. Summary: It might go well if the owner is in a good mood (and if you can tolerate the lack of cleanliness), but it can quickly turn into a very uncomfortable experience if his mood changes, like it did for me.

+ 馴染みのある高円寺、新高円寺に近くて安心だった。布団の寝心地は悪くなかった

- 夜、下のバーが少しうるさく感じた。2段ベッドの階段の上の入口側上部が板が張ってあり、真ん中より低くなっているので、何度か頭をぶつけてしまった。 洗面所前の通路が狭いので、洗面所を使っている人がいると通りにくい。フェースタオル等が置いてある位置が高い。ゲストハウスの割に値段が高い。2段ベッド上段はとても暑かった。またエアコンで朝喉が乾燥した。

+ 場所がとてもよかった 自由な感じ 各ベッドの使いやすいところ にティッシュとゴミ箱が置いてあり便利 チェックアウトが14:00でありがたかった お客さんのマナーが良くて静かに過ごせた

- 洗面台、トイレなど掃除がもう少し行き届いていると嬉しい 入り口の鍵がかからず‥(故障中)セキュリティが不安でした。チェックイン、アウトの仕方がわかりにくかった メッセージが素っ気なく、少し不安になってしまった

Great location and good vibe.. Found black mold under the mattress and a staff member came into the room around 10pm, turned on the lights and started vacuuming, thought I was dreaming it up.
