Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Everything was great- 1) Location (4 mins away from Kagoshima JR station) 2) Staff - very friendly and accommodating 3) Facilities - Shared kitchen with free tea, utensils etc. Free use of the washing machine (Small fee if you want to use the tumble dryer, but if you aren't short of time, there is a clothes air drying area) 4) Female Dormitory room - Warm and comfy. Individual lockers were provided. The curtains on the bunk bed were thick so could sleep in privacy. (The beds were futon beds, so westerners may find it a bit thin)

    It's absolutely an alright place to stay. Don't go if you're desperate to meet new friends. Although we had a couple of fun talks, it's mostly a quiet hostel. 100% value for money and super conveniently located near the train station. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Cheap washing and drying.

    Staff were very friendly and helpful (even when we had to come back for something we left behind, they found it and kept it safe for us). The double bunk room was decent. The rooftop area and kitchen were great - there is even a beer vending machine! Great location right next to the Toppy Ferry terminal. I would have liked to stay longer at this guesthouse.

    Very cute little sharehouse in the center of Kagoshima! The staff was very friendly and cleaned everything regularly! I was in a female only room and I felt comfortable. Washing machine was for free! Drier was 300 Yen, but that is pretty normal everywhere in Japan. I met a lot of interesting and fun people. The hostel had a shared kitchen and living room so in the evening we could sit together and meet new people! It felt very cozy!
