Lock in a great price for Hostel Cuore Kurashiki – rated 8.4 by recent guests!

to get started.

Shared bathrooms were very clean and cafe restaurant down is nicely decorated. It's in the historical district itself and very convenient location.

June, Japan

Great location, directly in the historical area. Also surrounded by many restaurants and convinis. Good value for your money!

Baha17, Japan

Serviceable breakfast. Fan and air-con were kept on all day so rooms were very cool. A little walk from the train station but right next to the historical district, very nice area.

Finn, Japan

Perfect location in the Old city of Kurashiki. Lard room. Clean and comfortable.

S69, Israel

This hotel is trendy & fun with an updated look. The shared bathrooms were clean and showers were good. Our private room had a sink & the beds were OK.

Monicack, United States of America

It has the option of a hostel room or a private loft if you want. Near to everything and very nice staff, breakfast also good (must pay). Very clean

Jose, Mexico

A most unusual modern conversion of old factory or wharehouse but it all works nicely. My first hostel stay ever and it was quite nice. Not luxury but so clean you will be happy. I used a shared bunk room first few days and a large private room the last day. Perfect and priced low so it works! Bathrooms were maintained LIKE NEW and spotless clean which was nice surprise. Free internet in room areas worked great and charging is in each bunk area. Breakfast was good and only 5oo yen. Location is perfect for Kurashiki. Hostel has full bar, and numerous lounge relaxing areas, and a reading room. Rental bike was 400 yen for a day. Coin Laundry machines for guests.

Brad, Japan

Clean, staff was pleasant and professional, great location, overall nice vibe.

Anon, United States of America

I love the breakfast (only for 500¥) and the dinner menu. I opted for breakfast which turned to be a good choice because every restaurants are open at 11, some at 10. There's a Family Mart nearby, though. For breakfast, they have the best mushroom broth I've ever had. The staff, although very few of them speak English, were very helpful, helping me figuring out how to take my first Shinkansen. I love the restaurant & Bar atmosphere where I can work on my computer for the whole day comfortably. This hostel is only less than 5 years old and has the youthful ambience. The staff wore full Halloween make up on Halloween and I loved the decorations.

Ericawie, Indonesia

The female dorm room was nicer than the others where I stayed in the states. It's clean, well designed, comfy and has privacy. Yet my room wasn't ensuite, there's the bathrooms only for women. Also the location is convenient.

“Excellent stay in youth hostel fashion. Location ideal, in the heart of the old quarter.”

No complaints, entirely satisfied.
My 'room' was a bunk similar to that in a capsule hotel. It had a sliding door, so I could not be disturbed if the room light was switched on. The separate bathroom and shower were nearby.

If you stay in dormitory the top beds don’t have as much privacy as I would of liked. Also breakfast was not enough. Half a sandwich and mushroom soup. The last day before checking out was like a buffet style for breakfast. I really enjoyed this style of breakfast. Could have bread and yogurt. Please continue the buffet style.
Location, cool vibe cafe and staff are friendly.

“Ultra-comfortable Hostel In Tourist Area”

- • Stayed 2 nights

The hostel was about 15-20min distance from Kurashiki Stn, so it could be tiring to travel to the accommodation with all your baggage. But I would say the location has great benefits, because it's right in the historical quarters where the attractions, food stores and souvenir shops are.
The hostel itself had a bar and restaurant, which became a very convenient dinner option when many establishments close early in winter. The restaurant has a decent bar and dinner menu, and the food was great. I got a private room which was perfectly clean, and room cleaning service was provided. In fact, the room had a microwave, cooking stove, a washing machine and detergent - better facilities than a hotel. There's even a clothesline for you to dry for washed clothing. The bathroom had all soap, conditioner and shampoo, all of which were good quality stuff.

The clothes drying machine cannot really work. It did not dry our clothes.
1. I like the open area on the second floor that allows us to sit and chill. 2. The public bathroom is clean with all the facilities that you need. There are many bathroom, you don't need to queue to bath. 3. In just 1-2 min walking distance, there is decent scenery (river, bridge, swan etc.). If you continue to walk, there is family mart across the road. Convenient.

For the price you would have your own bathroom you would think. The accomodation is clean and there is a restaurant.
They would offer you a breakfast for 500yen. It is basic (tea, coffee, juices, bread, egg, soup) but still cheaper then having it somewhere else.
