Pros: It was very special for me to find a female only hostel. I enjoyed having a room to myself. I extended my stay 2 extra nights but it was more expensive doing this in person than it would have been doing it through booking.com. the staff were amazing and the roof top terrace and decor throughout was beautiful.

Pros: Beautiful decor, and individual private rooms by default (rare commodity in hostels) small but comfy, with comfy bedding too! I loved the make-up room, and the large common room full of manga. The rooftop was also very pretty at night. This hostel is such a lovely place, the staff is very friendly and helpful, the location is great. I highly recommend it, it was calm and peaceful. I just want to come back there one day !!!

Cons: No dyeing while I was there! Although I didn't ask, completely forgot until I saw the pots by the kitchen the morning I was leaving haha, potentially it's something you have to request, but no biggie :)

Pros: My favorite part was how clean everything was. Like, it was REALLY clean. Even with 4 people, we were also quite comfortable in our fairly small room. We each had our own locker with ample space. The bathrooms were great and there were lots of showers which have all your amenities. We didn't check out the bar, but the prices were actually fair. You're right next to Kumamoto Station, as well as the tram stop, so getting where you need to go is a breeze. There are rooms available for singles and doubles as well. I would recommend, but I do have one small gripe...

Pros: We liked everything. Arriving late, hostel was conveniently close to the main station. The staff is extremely friendly, and receptionist Mai speaks very good English. She was very nice and polite, great girl. The other one who cooked for us is a nice girl, too, but she doesn't speak English and we don't have a clue of Japanese. But we communicated anyway. There're always hands and eyes. We chose to have dinner and we were served a very tastefull, freshly prepared meal. Bathrooms are spotless, the room as well. We slept on bunk beds but it was nice. Laundry is available on coins, vending machines inside and outside. We highly recommend it and we would gladly return.

Cons: This was one of the stranger places I've stayed in (at least, I've never stayed anywhere like here). It's kind of a cross between a hotel and a hostel. Hotel in that you get your own "room", but hostel in that it's still a giant common area. There are just walls between your area and the next group's area, which don't go to the ceiling, and your door is just a curtain. This isn't even necessarily a bad thing, but I just think it needs to be more apparent in the listing, especially when it's called a hotel right in the name, when it's not.

Pros: Communication was excellent as my plans changed and I needed to make special requests. I had previously stayed at Asobigokoro in Dazaifu and the Kumamoto location was recommended to me. I had such a wonderful experience here, too. From the free coffee bar to the hand-designed map, I love this place and its amenities.

Pros: Living room and kitchenette Late checkout possible Bed really confortable and maybe because I was alone in 4 dormitory I slept very very well !
Cons: Kitchenette not full equipment no knife (need to ask to staff), oil, salt... Stockage luggage is in smoking room of restaurant and someone burn one pocket of my bag (not intentionally of course but happens !) and all my staff in this little pocket were burn ! And I saw it after I left ! So that’s why for me the quality price is not good even this hostel is one of cheapest one for Kumamoto ( 3000 yen in week! But this price is expensive compare to other city but cheaper for Kumamoto
