KKsenia KrylovaA small, quiet hostel on a quiet street. Three of us stayed in a quadruple room. Clean towels and a trash bag were provided daily. The mattresses are soft, the pillows are high. I found the pillow a bit uncomfortable, so I had to remove it. The room has a stove, kettle, paper cups, and a refrigerator. The lobby has a microwave, plates, spoons, forks, a stove, a refrigerator, more paper cups, and drink machines (several types of soda, water, hot water, coffee, green tea, and corn soup). All drinks are complimentary. There are also shelves with manga and other books, a TV, and two game consoles. We didn't use them, though.
There's also a small shelf with onsen essentials: shampoo, shower gel, cotton swabs, paper towels, and other items. These can be borrowed and then returned.
The lobby also has information in English about nearby cafes and onsens. The staff speak excellent English and can help you navigate the city, such as choosing an onsen.
The hostel has a self-service laundry: washing is 300 yen (40 minutes), drying is 100 yen for 15 minutes. I usually pay 200 yen upfront because nothing dries in 15 minutes.
We didn't have enough mosquito nets on the windows: in the evening, we'd open the window to air out the room, and in the morning, we'd be counting the mosquito bites. The only consolation was that the mosquitoes were quiet and didn't bite, meaning they didn't interfere with our sleep.
