This hostel was very nice and clean. It's close to a lot of downtown Nagoya attractions, such as Osu Kannon, the Fureai Hiroba square, and the Osu shopping streets. They have a staff member who can speak English quite well, and the hostel's policies are explained very clearly on signs, too. Although I know at least one other traveler took a shower in the middle of the night, I could not hear it at all from my bed.

In a capsule hotel, the acoustics of the capsules help to dampen sound a bit. As these are not capsules, there is no sound dampening.

Everything was super clean and it was perfectly located. It was right next to the big shopping area “Osu” and right next to the Kamimaezu subway station.

You had to leave the hostel from 10 to 15, which would be no problem if one only stayed for a short period, yet if you stay for a longer period of time (more than 5 days) it can be tiring.

Very clean common area. Very comfortable to use the facilities. Near Osu market, on the other hand very quiet place.

Time check in-out very strict, 15:00-20:00. I ask for check in early, staff said I can but cannot use any facilities
