The guestroom itself was probably a 4 star, but we could not possibly carry our luggage to the room. The 1st lot of stairs had no handrail and was open - not very safe. We left our luggage on the ground floor, our room was 2 flights up. Baths - the shower had little water and no hot water. The location was superb. This was a self check in, we did not see any staff. This place was not expensive and new & clean

The guesthouse used technology to provide contactless check-in. The facility is new and only has 2 rooms. Prime location to the train/bus station.

I really enjoyed my stay here. It was spotlessly clean and I loved having the option to cook my own meals in the kitchen. It was a fantastic place to relax after finishing the Kumano Kodo. It's also located right next to the train station and the beautiful ocean is only a few blocks away, so the location is super convenient for exploring Katsuura and the surrounding area. Checking in is all done online, and it took me a minute to figure out, but overall it worked smoothly.

Best hostel that I have ever been.

Check-in instructions sent by email on time. Instructions were clear and the check-in proceedure was easy. The hostel was very clean, tidy, quite and had everything I need. Also, I felt very safe since you cannot enter the place without a safe code that is provided by the property.

Close to the bus & train station

Very close to the bus & train station. Close to shops. Accommodation was very clean and adequate for an overnight stay. Check in was online and easy. A good recommendation of passing through.
