Really nice and clean Hostel. I would say Hotel instead of Hostel actually when you wouldn’t take the shared bathroom in mind. Everything was clean, nice and comfortable! Easy communication with the Host and smooth check-in. Beds were also very comfortable and the property provides all the amenities that you need. Even rental bikes! If all hostels would be like this (and all guests would work together to keep everything clean) I wouldn’t mind staying in Hostels more often.

It was a bit strange to me that there was no door to the washing tables and that there were security cams installed in the public spaces (although I can imagine that sometimes It’s necessary when you have guests who misbehave) Other than that, everything was perfect!

The room and facilities are clean. The location is very good. It’s near the bus stop and the convenience store. And if you wake up early like me and there’s no bus at that time, you still able walk to the Shingu station. The hostel has 4 bicycles to be borrowed with no charge. You can ride it around the city.

There’s no elevator. The pillows are so firm and high. (I prefer flat pillow but there is no other option here) After check-out (10 am) you can’t leave your luggage at the hostel because there’s no staff available (There are limited coin lockers at the station). Maybe the hostel should provide english manual for the air-con remote control.

What an absolutely lovely place! The hostel is super modern and super clean! Check in is easy and the host is friendly and welcoming. The room was cosy and the beds were comfortable. The hostel provided everything we needed, from water to pajamas, towels and even ear plugs. We were totally soaked from the rain, and most of our clothes were sweaty from hiking Kumano Kodo. But we could don the pajamas and throw everything into the washer/dryer. So convenient! The facilities were spotless, the shamoo and conditioner smelled lovely and there was even skin care in the washroom. I would definitely stay here again, hopefully a bit longer than just one night.

My wife and I stayed in the largest room on the third floor, and it felt much more like a hotel than a hostel. We had our own bathroom, shower, large balcony, and washing machine (detergent provided), but you need to pay for drying on the second floor. Everything was modern, new, and clean. Beds very comfortable. Check-in is with a keypad code and very straightforward.

Nothing we didn't like. Stairs are a bit steep, so something to be aware of if you have mobility issues.

Very clean and fairly new/well maintained accomodation. I have been to several shared bath accomodations and some have the weirdest setup that don't make sense. This place just does it. Bed is comfy and pillow has just the right height. There's proper hangers in the shower room, bins at the right spots, everything just makes sense so you'll be feeling like staying in a home instead of a hostel. Friendly and very helpful staffs to ease you through your stay and travel around the area.

Nothing

The hostel is very clean. The staff was friendly and welcoming. I had dinner at the izakaya run by the owner and had an excellent meal. Every thing is new and in good condition, and the doors lock automatically, so it is very secure.

The room was a bit small, there wasn’t much space to put luggage or hang clothes. Some wall hooks and a shelf would be helpful. I only stayed one night, so it really wasn’t an issue.

We were blown away over how great Ajito Hostel was! We couldn’t believe it is a hostel. The quality was far above a good hotel! The place was so neat, beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable and with so many services like free coffee, local fruit, water and fresh bed every day! Everything seemed brand new. It was truly the best place we’ve stayed on our trip through Japan so far. We highly recommend staying here!

We were the first room to check in for the day and everything was very clean on arrival. Having laundry facilities was very convenient for us.

Check in message explaining we needed a pin was only sent on the day and I didn’t have internet access so didn’t receive it. It worked out OK but would be better if they made this clearer earlier on especially for Sunday check ins when there are no staff.

this place is amazing. the place is so clean, very modern, they have all the facilities that you require and more. they also have a cafe. we have been travelling in japan for a month, and this place has been our favourite hostel. the staff are great too. the guy that runs the hostel was so kind and accommodating, and eager to help with places for eating etc definitely stay here if you are in shingu!

Clean stay, but no frills. Kind of an unmanned stay. The adjoining cafe was not opened during my stay. Location was decent enough but not the best value for money.

Make sure you tell them ahead of time if you intend to arrive earlier than the allowed check-in time. The PIN given only activates on the dot, so you would not be able to arrive otherwise.
