Naha Hostellit

Plussat: Good location, very close to Okinawa public transportation YUI-RAIL Miebashi station (美栄橋駅).

Miinukset: The room is so stuffy. The air in the room has no circulation, even though it has the air conditioner and a small window,

Plussat: Friendly staff! The hostel had a really cool vibe

Plussat: Near monorail.

Miinukset: Not friendly staff, staff speak loudly at the common area until I can't rest well at room, no locker in the room, not easy to get food, not convenient for me to take my luggage to 3rd floor, no water filtration machine.

Plussat: Clean and comfortable

Plussat: it's a typical hostel. Very clean and Japanese style. And the best is close to the Monorail station. Now if leaving before 8AM, they won't charge for key deposit!! (Clarify for previous comment)

Plussat: Lovely place! Very spacious bed area. Communal space was clean and had a nice vibe. Staff were so helpful when I had to change my flight last minute! Small locker could be used for free (just deposit).

Miinukset: Nothing, I had a really great stay!

Plussat: The staff were extremely friendly. Very nice vibe and environment. A great place for backpackers.

Miinukset: There was no card machine. All transactions had to be with cash.

Plussat: Awesome, kind and helpful staff, great location

Miinukset: nothing in particular

Plussat: I stayed in the private room for a night for two pax. If you book the Quadruple room for two, you’re automatically given the bunk beds, which is not a bad thing because you have plenty of room for luggage. There is also a small table and fridge. The location of the guest house is superb, just 10 mins walk from the Prefecture Office Monorail station and a 10-mins walk to the main Kokusai Shopping Street. There is an elevator in the guest house. Also, Lawson’s and 7-Eleven across the street. There are two outdoor hang out spaces where guests smoke and eat. There is an indoor lounge too. This is an okay stay for short stays - especially considering you’re getting a private room with an en-suite toilet for this price.

Miinukset: My sheets were dirty but because it was for a night, I didn’t bother too much. The private Quadruple room’s windows open directly to the Terrace that is accessible to all guests - but there are blinds that roll down, just a strange design? There is no bedside lamp, the air-con takes a long time to cool in the hot summer heat despite being set to 18 degrees celcius. The staff speak very minimal English, expect a lot of sign language or Google Translate if you have questions. DO NOTE: NO FREE LUGGAGE STORAGE. Each luggage storage is 500Y before or after you check in. You also CANNOT use the lounge after check out - no escaping from the heat in summer. I will not stay here again in the future, I’d rather pay a little more for cleanliness and comfort.

Miinukset: For a locker you have to pay 300 yen/day. To leave the luggage in the storage room it is 500 yen/day. Anybody can enter the building and the rooms. No security at all.

Plussat: This hostel is good value of money. The owner is only there until 23H, so make sure you can arrive before that for check in. You can rent a bike for 500 yen per day and get around the city or go to the beach. There's also paid parking space if you are renting a car. The bunk bed is quite comfortable, and the shower room for the ladies are kept clean (not sure about the men's room). If you are a light sleeper, ear plugs are recommended. You can also buy a pair at the counter. You can also get shampoo or shower gel with reasonable price.The signs in the hostel are all clear and easy to follow. Make sure you follow them so you dont disturb others.

Plussat: Location it’s good and rooftop it’s comfortable and nice for relaxing. Have a big shared kitchen and many washing machine.

Miinukset: I don’t like many things in this place. the owners are very demanding with the time of entry and exit, they require customers punctuality to checkout, but they do not take responsibility for their customers are satisfied. It gives the sensation that they only care when paying. You can not pay by card, or through booking, you can only pay there with a machine in which you have to choose how many nights you stay and insert the money, you even have to be the one who fills in the data, that is, they only They are there to control your time and receive your money the cleaning is quite nil, there is only one person cleaning and it doesn't take even 1 min to clean the bathroom that smells pretty bad. The entrance is where the shoes are left and as soon as you arrive if you smell the place, you want to leave. rooms with more than 50 beds and do not turn off the light until 00:00 and turn it on at 6:00 (6 hours of rest?) The air conditioning is extremely high, so a single blanket is not enough if you don't want to get sick. surely it is so strong that we do not feel the bad smell of the room. Everything else is extra, you have to pay to leave the suitcase (¥ 500) for the locker (¥ 300) there is not even soap to wash your hands. Although they have a free bed, they have no consideration of checking or half an hour before. when you leave the hostel you cannot use the lounge, it seems that you are kicked to leave. The worst of all is that there is no one watching, the hostel is open until 11pm and the door is always open, the elevator leads directly to the rooms, so anyone outside the place could enter. They do not speak practically English and they also do not try to understand you, once you have paid, they no longer care, they do! they remind you all the time that at 10:00 you step on the beds are terribly uncomfortable And the hot shower it’s not really hot, just in off for don’t feel cold

Plussat: Bicycle for rent 500 JPY (1 day ) Have common kitchen .

Miinukset: You have to pay 300 JPY if you want one locker while you stay . Other hostel provide for free. There are 80 beds in one mixed dorm room at second floor but have only 3 male bathrooms without door ( have only thin curtain ; no privacy ) Common lobby limited for use (closed 10:00 - 15:00) many rules and regulation. Not convenience for me.

Plussat: Checkin checkout was very smooth Got to meet many new people

Miinukset: Toilet was not very clean Bedding had partitions which caused little discomfort
