A great place to stay when exploring Kumano Kodo. All our requests were filled - and more! The owner is great, the room (the smaller room) is very cozy and we slept well on the tatami + mattresses. Even when it was cold outside, the AC/heater kept the room warm, and there was multiple blankets to use as well. Everything, including the room and the shared areas, were super clean and nice! Thank you!

Beautiful view from the room, nice guests to talk too like in a youth hostel!
Great location, very safe.
Great location across from train/bus station. Quiet, I think because it was a holiday, few people in the hostel, and downstairs bar was closed. Comfortable bed. Clean. Juan checked us in, very friendly, but no staff around after 4pm.
The usual Comfort Hotel formula, great for a budget level solo traveller still living the backpacker dream.
This is the best Hostel I ever was in. The owners were really friendly and the hostel was SO clean. We had a long trip behind us with some fancy hotels and we felt so much better in why kumano than in some other places. It was great to meet some of the other guests and everyone was really kind. Also in the night it was surprisingly fresh in the capsules and quiet. Thank you so much.
This is the best hostel I've been in Japan. It's beautiful, comfortable, clean, good located, the staff is nice, there's the kitchen.
Fantastic, friendly hostel. Great location and great service from the team. 3 onsens on site is the wonderful, delightful cherry on top.
I slept in the dorm, a new experience! It was quiet all night, and enough room in the capsule. Clean and nice showet. Nice staff. The hostel is right by the train station so it was very convenient as I was taking the train early the next morning. I came from Nachi (Kumano Kodo) and the bus stopped right outside the hotel. Cheap, nice hostel if you need a place to sleep in Katsuura.
Private onsen! Best hostel in Japan! Maybe in the world? The dorms had so much privacy! Almost like a single room
