bnb Atami Resort - Hostel

The location was good and check-in went smoothly. But the bathroom wasn't clean and the bins were always full. The biggest problem was that there were no doors between the dorm and the common area, so people talking through the night made it hard to sleep. Decent place, with room to improve.

It was clean, and I appreciated the free earplugs. People were coming and going, and the door slammed loudly each time. A few people snored too, though that's not their fault. The walk to the station and waterfront was nice and short. There was a place to sit and eat with a decent view, plus a fridge for food. The heat was on during my stay. It ran a little hot for me, but wasn't bad. The check-in tablet's face recognition was cumbersome and felt janky, and I didn't like having to create an account. At the entrance you only get a Wi-Fi password, with no QR code, though there are QR codes all over inside. Connecting is awkward when people are crowded around checking in. There were just two showers, one for men and one for women, which is much too few for everyone. I was glad I noticed at check-in and showered in the afternoon. Someone else said the heat hadn't been on during their stay, so that may vary. If you're after the cheapest place, this fits. For something nicer, look elsewhere.

A decent budget place, close to lots of shops and bars, and Sun beach is a bit of a walk away. There aren't really check-in or check-out procedures, which was super convenient and relaxed. The bathrooms are small, though, and there's no elevator to the third floor, so good luck with luggage.

There's nowhere to park a bicycle here. Better leave it in the parking lot near the station and walk over.
