Great hostel, clean and comfortable. Good breakfast for 500yen

We stayed 2 nights, only order breakfast for the first. I guessed it was a busy day, they changed the breakfast set to buffet style, but when we came down for breakfast the tray was empty. Kinda sad to see that, but they did try to fill up the food soonest possible. I saw the continental breakfast set on the next day, far more better than the buffet.

Very well-located, nice room, good enough for one night

Location, price, it felt private even though you were in a dorm, and the food at the restaurant area was delicious.

Right in the historic quarter. Cool place to stay with a nice restaurant and bar.

I booked a twin room with shared bathroom. There was a wash basin inside the room which was useful. The shower room was nice and clean and you get the best hot showers there. There was a self-serve coffee/tea/hot water station in the common area on the 2/F which was a life saver because it got really cold during the night when I was there in December. The restaurant downstairs served great food and it comes in very handy if you happen to check in at night time. Great location as it's close to Kurashiki's Bikan Area and not far from the train station.

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

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.

No lift to the rooms, which was fine for me but would have been a problem with the elderly relative I had been travelling with the week before. It should have been pointed out in the room details on the hotel description. Also, I specifically indicated that I did not want my room to be cleaned, which would imply that I did not want anyone to enter my room, but was dismayed to find out that someone had come in to replace my towels.
Fantastic location, just steps away from the canals. Loved that the room had a microwave and a washing machine.

I did miss a fridge in the tiny common room though, where kitchen facilities seemed very limited. It’s very close to the old quarter, in a perfect location.
I spent one night in Kurashiki on my way to Takamatsu. I arrived rather late but still went for a walk around the canal in the old town - definitely worth it as it’s much quieter than during the day. Same thing for an early morning walk, great for pictures. Hostel Cuore has a nice bar downstairs, where you also check in and check out. The female dorm was very comfortable, it’s more as if you have your own mini-room: the upper ‘pods’ have real stairs to climb up to them instead of a ladder. There is a curtain in front of every pod-entrance, so lots of privacy (apart from the curtain for the external window that was lacking right in front of my bed). Kurashiki: I went for lunch at the Mamakari-tei, they only serve the famous ‘sardines’ with their most expensive menu set, but it was definitely worth it. I visited several of the sites: - Ohara museum of art: I skipped the part with western painting#but enjoyed th3 Asian section. In the morning there was also a hall open with views of the garden, worth a look. - Ohashi house: lovely place with a really enchanting tea house at the end of the tour. You can order the tea in the previous stop ( the library if I remember well) but have it served in the teahouse with a view of the garden. Lovely and quiet experience, nic3 chat with the lady working there. - I skipped the toy and Momotaro museums as I had no specific interest in them and didn’t want to overload the day - Kurabo memorial hall: not a lot of English captions, but if you like old pictures of the industrial heritage of the area, this is a nice stop - Achi-jinja: lovely shrine just a short climb up from the old quarter. Very atmospheric and quiet. - Craft museum: well presented, nice souvenir shop I ended up buying quite some souvenirs here: some cute toys and products made from the fabric that is used in tatami mats.

“Basic”

It took us almost half an hour just to check-in as there wasnt anyone around in the building. Also, the hostel lacks security measurement as everyone has direct access into the building and the room only comes with a very basic lock. There are also no lift/ escalators so it might be a little inconvenient for guests with large luggages
Love the location, only 5 mins walk to the bikan historical quarter. Toilet is very clean and basic amenities were provided. Able to store your luggage.

“Great location ”

Expect to stay in the same building of the bar tends to stay in another with nothing (no public space/elevator /other services). The reason I booked this room is what I saw the atmosphere of this hostel from the pictures. If we need to transfer another new building, the polite way that the hostel need to email us about this situation before we departure I was quite disappointed what we were lead to another building with nothing, only the business like style room.
The staff is nice, but not many staff can speak English very well, but they try hard to explain. The location is excellent.

They offer western breakfast for 500yen which is really just some toasts and a sort of vegetable soup. I’m not sure I would have called this western breakfast, we were expecting eggs at least, etc. The room was also quite dusty.

Our room was very clean but The common area and stairwell/entry were really grotty and dirty. Dead or dying potplants everywhere. Overflowing ashtrays. Dirty rubbish bins. Even the entry to the hotel was dusty, with dead plants. Doesn’t take much to water plants and make a better impression. Breakfast was disappointing. Only soup and bread on offer. Had to ask for a knife for spreading jam. Management need to spruce things up.

The hostel is both non smoking and smoking.. The problem with this is that when people are smoking in a common area, it is impossible to stay.. So, several times we had to leave because people started smoking... In my opinion, the entire hostel should be non smoking, but that"s just me.. Everything else was just fine.
Very clean and cofortable, cozy. Very nicely decorated. The staff was very friendly and helpful.. Breakfast was good and the facility provided a place to prepare and heat up food.. That was a plus. lounge areas other than the dining area to hang out at.. Very nicely situated, walking distance to the train station and very close to the old town center by foot.. Great location. I would definitely recommend this hostel to everyone.
