Lock in a great price for Kamp Houkan-cho Backpacker's Inn & Lounge – rated 8 by recent guests!

to get started.

Due to a Taifun there was a problem finding beds. We made a mistake with the number of beds and the staff helped us and solved the problem.

Michael, Germany

The bed is comfortable.The hostel is clean. There is the bar down stair ,with relax and designed decoration. 10 mins walk from train station through shopping street . There are lots of local store. (but close so early), All in all , a very convenient hostel.

Yu, Taiwan

Very friendly staff, you can chill in the bar downstairs with a very cool "reggae" vibe !

Alexis, France

Clean hostel, close to the train station and the kitchen is a nice comfortable place to eat my take-out dinner.

Sarah, Canada

Extremely friendly and helpful bilingual staff. Amazing location, just 10 minutes from the central/Okayama station. Lots of shopping and restaurants in the station. The cafe and living room area is so comfortable and beautiful. Beds are surprisingly comfortable. Unbelievably clean bathroom area. Two showers and several toilets are "communal" but they're all separated, not in one giant bathroom which means that you have complete privacy when showering/using the bathroom. Little cafe/bar in the living room/dining area and the food is very nice and healthy. The chai tea is especially delicious!! Will definitely stay again!! Everyone is so nice and lovely here, the staff are wonderful.

Laura, Japan

People were really nice, also liked lounge&bar

Wonhyung, Japan

Great location. Comfortable bed and nice facilities. Good value for money as well!

Ya, United Kingdom

Staff was great ! Super friendly and very helpful ! Security is OK. PIN CODE everytime at the main entrance + keys for the dorms) Good ambiance at the bar/resto that belong to the hostel (or maybe the opposite, I think their main business is the bar/restaurant) It's near to the Okayama Station (5-10 min walk) It's an OK deal for what you pay

Djey, France

We stayed in the private room which just has your. Traditional Japanese floor beds but they were so comfy, our linen was changed everyday and the whole place is so clean! Never stayed in a hostel like it! Great bar down stairs and the bathrooms were clean with shampoo and conditioner and body wash. Little kitchen fine for making small meals if you needed but great food around the corner for cheap. Walking distance from the train station even with a case about 5 mins and the STAFF! So friendly m, cute and helpful!

I stayed here twice... what more do you want to know. It's exceptional.

Indonesia

“Great service and reasonable prices - very clean, ample facilities and a peaceful night's sleep. Especially had a good time chatting with Ken and Masa at the bar about their music interests. They really made the place feel homely and welcoming. Kamp made as a good transition from Okayama to Naoshima. Will definitely be back here in the near future!”

눉There was a strange, sewage-like smell in the corridors during out 2 night stay. The dormitories were cramped and lacked privacy; there was no spaces for bags, and the upper bunks didn’t have any privacy curtains.
눇Good bathrooms, good showers.

“Super friendly staff and great atmosphere”
- • Leisure trip

눉No real lockers (just very small one like letter box and not enough for everyone) There is curtains but not obscur and you will be wake up as soon it's bright outside. Dorms quite small for 6 people with big luggage. It's not capsule bed...so it's less private, more noisy if you have bad luck to have snorer people with you. For standard in Japan, it was not the cleanest one... I guess there is not enough people to run this place, they work hard and long hours, they should hire more people...
눇Staff was great ! Super friendly and very helpful ! Security is OK. PIN CODE everytime at the main entrance + keys for the dorms) Good ambiance at the bar/resto that belong to the hostel (or maybe the opposite, I think their main business is the bar/restaurant) It's near to the Okayama Station (5-10 min walk) It's an OK deal for what you pay
