Focus Kuramae

On the last nigth, I started to note a red rash in my entire body. It stinged pretty bad tomorrow morning, Im pretty sure they have a bed bug problem.

Smelly room. Staff too casual. I just think a hostel isn’t our style. Neighboring bed found a bed bug and we had to find another accommodation the same day. The exterminator wasn’t scheduled to come for two full days.

When we reached they told us there were bed bugs so they relocated us to another hostel until the last day of our stay. When we came back they told us to wait until 3pm to check in because the beds needed to be made. We came back around 5pm and they made us wait an additional 20 minutes because the beds STILL were not made. Offered us no compensation other than a free set of towels to use. The AC in our room did not work either. Completely unprofessional.

I stayed for six nights and my experience can be summarised with 'decent, but not worth the money'. I've booked a single room for about 70$/night which was completely unnecessary since the room barely offered more comfort than some of the better dorm sleeping cabins I've stayed in. During my stay I heard of a bed bug issue two floors above mine, so ask about it if you get a room on the 5th floor. Also, there wasn't really much social life since the common area doubles as a normal cafe.

Warning! This place gives free towels and other amenities for 5 star reviews. My sister left covered in bed bug bites. The hostel it self is nice but had a really dull vibe nothing going on here or near at all. Close enough walk to stations to get to hotspots but otherwise there is nothing really surrounding it besides a market. Would not recommend
