Setouchi Mangetsusou

We were fortunate enough to be staying on the second floor, so access to toilets and showers was no problem. Would be a bit less convenient for people on the third floor.

Very cute hostel. The inside had great design and amenities, like extension cords, card games and hairdryers. Checkin was no-contact on a tablet. It had a little trouble finding my name but I guess it wanted my full name (first and last) typed in to find it. We stayed in a western style room with bunk beds. The mattresses are standard futon and very thin but it was fine for two nights. The beds had down comforters and there were extra fleece blankets available in the lobby. The room had its own A/C which was nice. It also had a refrigerator and small TV. There were two chairs and a small table but the height of the table was too low to sit in the chairs. But this was more amusing than annoying. The signage throughout the hostel was excellent. I’m used to seeing limited or poor English signage at hotels and hostels, but they obviously had a native speaker write/proof all the signs. Only complaint would be that since there are some Japanese style tatami rooms, families can stay in the hostel. The walls are thin, so you could hear children yelling/running in the halls. I had some questions about check-in as we would be arriving late and the staff responded quickly through Travelocity emails. They sent us the door code 2 days before and after checkin the tablet shows your room door code. The emails gave very clear instructions for checkin and told you to photograph your room code at the end of check in. Overall a very nice hostel-One of the best I’ve stayed in.

Good place

No elevator as they say. So do not expect any assistance for any staff.
