&and Hostel Kuramae West

We loved it soo much! Thank you &AND Kuramae West! Even though it was a hostel, it felt like a hotel with the exception of a sharing shower room. It was clean, had all the basic necessity we needed (towels included for this double room), drinking water at reception, had elevator to make it easy. The most surprising thing was that the double room was very spacious and beautifully decorated for a hostel. To top that, all staff were extremely helpful and friendly. We really can't thank them enough for our unending requests - checking in without the full party due to differing schedules, leaving oversized luggage, and helping us speak to taxi driver how to fit in our oversized luggage. We will definitely choose this hostel if we come back again. The only thing that wasn't so convenient was the location - it's 9-13mins to nearest train station, which is okay but not when you're super tired from a whole day walking or if you are senior citizens. but taxi from train is not too expensive only 600yen. So not a deal breaker.

Nice budget hostel, good and welcoming staff, good location , quiet but still very accessible
