I'm gonna be as honest as can be. If you are a group of 5 or less, and you have a less night active life style or a family, I would not recommend this place. It is loud at night, the windows do not really isolate at all and there is no common room to hang out, only the pure sleeping rooms. But! If you are a group with 6+ people out to enjoy the night life and you just need a place to sleep and crash, and you have no trouble sleeping in next to louder traffic, sharing only 1 bathroom, etc...this place is for you! The ladies are very friendly and welcoming (although not Japanese at all!)! The beds are varying from soft to very hard. Four of the beds are very short and not for tall people. The other six beds are fine for any height. The place has no common room to really hang out. You only get room keys, because the front slide door is always open :-)....which is actually charming in a way. It wasn't for our group, so we changed after two nights, but this is also due to the fact, that we were in Japan to work, needed a calm place, etc...
