Great stay. The place was like newly renovated, very clean. Wish the room had a lock, because there wasn't one, just a magnetic folding curtain door, but glad that there's a big locker for storing valuables.

I had a trouble modifying my reservation online, so I called the property for onsite help. The agent showed no hesitation in helping me, and went beyond and above to make sure that he came up with the solution to solve my problem.
The hotel is very clean and offers excellent amenities for the price they charge, and I highly recommend it for anyone who needs a place to stay in Kurume. Even for local people because it is cheaper than a taxi fare in some cases.

I’m a sole traveller and choose to stay in this hostel. I got a single room. The room is clean and cozy. It meant to be a shared space with other but it was so cozy with plenty of room space. I would stay in the same place with the good price.

I planned my travel itinerary like this: Fukuoka City - Kurume - Hita - Fukuoka City, and Kurume was the goat. The location of the accommodation was right in front of the station, so it was very convenient, and there were a lot of nearby supermarkets, Daiso, Don Quixote, 7-Eleven, restaurants, bars, karaoke, etc., so it was very convenient ㅠㅠ There was always a staff member at the front desk, so it was easy to get help, and even when I had to go outside to make a phone call or have a quick meal, I had to take my card key to the common area, which was inconvenient, but the facilities were really, really, really good, really the best.. The pajamas were so comfortable, the mattress was so comfortable, the pillows were so comfortable, and honestly, I paid more for a hotel in Hita than this hostel, but Kurume Hostel is incomparably better. It's not a hostel, it's just a small hotel. The facilities are really, really, really good. The staff were so kind, so I felt so good. This is probably the most memorable place in my trip to Japan 😭 Taiho Ramen is the best ramen I've ever had in my life. You have to go!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have to go to the park nearby!!!

It was a hassle to have to put valuables in a locker every time because you couldn't lock the room from the outside, but I think it's great that it's a great price and includes breakfast. All the facilities were well-cleaned, so much so that I felt bad if I didn't use them properly. I'd like to use it again if I have the opportunity.

It was my first time visiting this area because I suddenly found it. I thought it would be a place where I could get bored, but I think it was really good that I went. There are many delicious restaurants nearby, and I had a fulfilling day. Since I traveled lightly with just one bag, I have been to many capsule hotels in other areas, but this was definitely the best. The door may be loose, but there is a separate floor for women, so there are facilities that can be used safely. In addition to the shower room, there is also a powder room and a president's office, so you can use it for a long time without having to wait. I stopped by by chance and healed. The free brunch was also great. I will visit again next time.

It's very close to Nishitetsu Kurume Station. It's also convenient to go to Hakata and Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine. You can also take a bus from Nishitetsu Kurume Station to Yoshinogari Park and Saga City via JR Kurume Station. There are many restaurants around the station and the hotel. The room is clean and has everything you need. I thought it was a little noisy when someone came back late at night and used a hair dryer after taking a shower, but there are earplugs so you can be quiet if you use them. Check-in time was from 4pm.

The hotel is OK, very nice and comfortable.
But I don't know what's wrong with some guests.
It's very noisy, it's 1am and they are still yelling.

The facility was clean. Eating and drinking was only possible in the shared space, but it was well-cleaned. The plan included breakfast, so I was able to enjoy it at my leisure.

It's near Nishitetsu Kurume Station and close to my workplace, so it was very helpful. I really appreciated the free shaved ice 🍧😊
There's a wide variety of manga, so you're sure to find something you like.
The mist from the shower feels really nice 🚿

It was conveniently located near the station and the downtown area.
Because it was a hostel, the doors to the private rooms only had accordion curtains, but privacy was maintained.
It seemed that the other guests were all following the rules, and there were no nuisances such as loud voices or the sound of the TV coming from the hallways or private rooms.
The toilets and shower rooms in the shared space were very clean, and since I had stayed at hostels overseas before, I was prepared for this, but the facilities here were really clean!
My daughter stayed with me, and she seemed to really like it.
The breakfast was also delicious.
My daughter doesn't drink coffee, so I thought it would be nice if there were a few more options, but the price for one night with breakfast included was a bargain, so it was totally fine!
I was woken up in the middle of the night by the sound of water dripping from the air conditioner at a fairly fast pace on the silent floor, and I couldn't sleep for a while after that, which bothered me a bit.
The next morning, the area where the water had fallen had changed color, so I wondered if it had been leaking for quite some time.
I reported this to the staff at the facility when I checked out.
Even with that in mind, I was very satisfied!!

It was my first time staying here because it was close to the station. It was safe because it was on a women-only floor, and the shower head was also Refa. However, the staff were very rude and bothersome to other guests, so I recommend it for solo travelers.

Very good youth hostel. It's my first time staying in this type of hostel. I feel it's clean and comfortable. The breakfast is also very exquisite. The public area is very beautiful. It feels like opening the door to a new world. I will continue to consider it when traveling in the future
