Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Small showers and occasional smoke smell — Some guests note that showers are compact, and a few mention occasional cigarette smoke despite the no-smoking policy.
- Limited room types — With only three room categories — an Economy Double and two dormitory options — the guesthouse suits solo travellers and couples better than families or groups wanting more space.
- Restricted check-in window — Check-in is only between 16:00 and 22:00, which may be inconvenient for early arrivals or late-night travellers.

8.9Verified guest“Stayed three nights while exploring. The location was ideal, a quick walk from the station and close to a tram stop. Staff were incredibly friendly and gave great restaurant tips. Meeting Maruko, the afternoon surprise visitor, was a highlight. The capsule bed had a luxury mattress, the design was clean and stylish, and showers were excellent. Loved the Dyson hairdryer and the fan for staying cool at night. A comfy, convenient stay.”
8.9Verified guest“Really good experience overall. Cleanliness and amenities were top-notch. The luxury mattress in the capsule was a nice surprise, and the hot shower was excellent. Location was super convenient, a short walk from the station. Minor niggles like small showers and occasional cigarette smoke didn't spoil it. Staff were friendly and the vibe was cute. Would recommend to budget travellers.”
