MalaysiaClose to the station and historical downtown, close to supermarkets and restaurants, big kitchen and common areas, beautiful decor.
United States of AmericaLiked it so much that decided to stay for another night 😁
IsraelGreat place, great staff. The rooms and the hostel are very clean. The common area is full of stuff to do and relax, a TV, a guitar, computers and even vintage games. Everything is top notch, including the kitchen and it shows that they have the customers in mind in every detail. If I'll have the chance I'll surely come back.
Israelclean and comfortable. it has all the essentials. we liked the lounge and shared kitchen the best.
CanadaSuper easy to find and 10-15 min walk from Takayama bus/train station. Staff was great. The place is pretty spacious, and even though I was in the 15(?) mixed dorm, there was loads of space in the room. Plenty of bathrooms and showers and the lounge area is big. Provided free towel, and there was free extra clean linen to use if needed. I was only here for 2 nights but could easily stay longer. Next time I'd probably book a private room but still shared bathroom and it was clean - it would feel like a hotel room but at a fraction of the price. Oh they also provided slippers. Lots of hostels in Japan charge ¥100 for this. Also had private locker in room.
