Kia Ora BudgetStay

One of my favorite hostels in japan. The staff are so friendly, and the bed in the mixed dorm was comfortable. There’s a fully stocked kitchen with a dining table, plus a separate common room with tatami flooring, tables and armchairs. Breakfast is toast and similar food from 8am-11am, which is a nice long window if you want to sleep in. It’s also under a 10-minute walk from Hakata Station. The kimono rentals and origami station are a nice touch.

The staff were ridiculously friendly and outgoing, starting conversations and even buying me ice cream. The place is pretty close to the station, about a ten-minute walk, and very clean. The rooms are capsule-like but roomy, each with a safe and ledge. There’s an elevator too, so no worrying about hauling yourself up stairs. I loved the place, would definitely stay again and recommend it.

The price is competitive for this area, and Hakata Station is about a 10-minute walk away. I stayed in a mixed dorm and found the bed comfortable. The staff were really friendly, and there’s a fully stocked kitchen if you want to cook. They also put out breakfast, like toast, from 8 to 11 am.

The common space was a nice place to spend time, and the hostel was pretty quiet during our stay, which made sense for that time of year. It’s around a 15-minute walk from Canal City and close to Hakata Station. Our bed was comfortable, and the facilities were clean and worked as they should. Thanks for having us.
