Honestly surprised this hotel doesn't have a higher rating! This is such a gem - clean, comfortable, very nice aesthetically, staff was SUPER friendly, and GREAT location - the little plaza it's in is super cool and convenient! Breakfast, lunch and dinner options in the same complex, a movie theatre, shopping - and then surrounded by tons of other options in the neighborhood. And if you're looking for a FANTASTIC dinner - go to TAMATORI! Amazing, fun, delicious experience and chef Hitomi Otsuka is such a delight!

Dryers did not work well, but honestly, most dryers in Japan are not great. And only minor inconvenience is needing to pay for parking.

I really enjoyed the location of the hotel, it’s like a minute walk to the station, and the size of the bunk beds was really nice(a lot wider that a lot of places). Also the cleanliness of the hotel was impeccable, and the decor in the “lobby” area was really nice. As well the female room I stayed in was honestly really enjoyable since I found the bed really comfortable and the washroom to be really nice. As well all of the workers I met were very nice and had pretty good English so if you have questions about stuff I recommend asking them, I asked for directions to Yobuko and the lady made sure to look up the bus times to get there for me. I also really enjoyed the breakfast that you can include, although technically I chose to pay to upgrade the set every morning but it’s really not that much. I quite liked the vibe of the restaurant, very chill in the morning which is nice as I need my morning coffee to survive. It’s also quite nice as in walking distance is the castle and a really pretty Shrine. The castle is a little bit longer with the sun and heat in the summer but it’s really not far at all. Also just beside the castle is where I caught a little boat over to the island to site-see but a word of advice is start with the island as the ferry runs like once a hour and I got too nervous about missing the last one so I didn’t walk around the island as much I would have liked.

The one thing that confused me a little is that the entrance is up on the 3rd level of the building so when I arrived I was a bit confused since the bottom level is stores and restaurants (although it definitely could have been my fault that maybe I didn’t read the description properly on where to go). As well I’m not sure why the female bunk room had such a high level of humidity, (there was a humidifier running as soon as you entered, but I didn’t think I was allowed to touch it plus I can’t read Japanese so I didn’t wanna accidentally mess with it) but tbh it wasn’t the worst thing so I just ignored it.

Modern, clean hotel with larger than average room sizes. Great location 4 minutes walking from Karatsu train station. Directly next to small shopping area and plenty of restaurants. Very convenient place to stay in Karatsu. Hotel has drinks vending machines, a microwave in the common area and a very stylish, light-filled lobby on the 3rd floor to sit and even table space to work on a notebook. Area was still quiet at night.

Everything was great, except the beds were the hardest in our whole trip. Too hard for my linking but if you don't mind hard beds, it is a great place to stay.

The hotel is modern and clean with friendly staff. The room is quiet, cozy and the bed comfortable. And it's located on a padestrian street only a stone throw from the train station and the bus station. I liked the common area with big table and plenty of sunlight. I really enjoyed my 2 nights stay there.

The laundry+vending machine area is a bit small. It felt crammed when there are more than 2 people in it.

The room had a desk and chair, and also a bench and table as well as the large bed. The room and hotel are clean, modern and stylish. The en suite bathroom was spacious and spotless. The shower was good and powerful. There's a communal area to sit in with long tables. Washing machines, tumble dryers and microwave in a room nearby. It was very peaceful, we had our window open and there was no traffic noise in the morning as it is on a pedestrian street. It's about 3 minutes walk from the small station.You can hire bikes from them too

The breakfast was 1 piece of toast (we're vegetarian so didn't have the 1 rasher of bacon that came with it) and butter plus 1 drink, which seemed small to us.

Small eco hotel with 1 floor (3rd flr) of room. The 1st flr are restuarants, gift shop, and a movie theater. The second floor is a business, a school, and shared workspaces. They have eco cleaning meaning full cleaning ever two days, while replacing towels and removing trash everyday. Location was near karatsu station, easy to find...since it's at the start of the walking street.

I wish they would upgrade their hotel room keys to card scanning room type. So much easier to hold...but if you get lazy, I believe they can hold your room key when your off on your adventure.

Staff was really nice and helpful. During my stay I met really nice persons. Karatsu is a nice town to visit, clean, safe with a beautiful scenery. I will be so happy to come back there once in my life.

I was in a dormitory so one time someone was quite noisy. But in general, everyone try to respect each other

Clean, quiet, comfortable, very central + next to the shopping street and the train station. Breakfast was light but tasty (toasts with butter). The staff is nice (including at the restaurant) and gives good recommandations. Towels, sleepers, toothbrush, soaps are provided. The top beds have actual stairs to reach it.

Still quite pricey for a dormitory. Breakfast could be fuller.
