We stayed 3 nights here as a family of 4 in a japanese room. The room was spacious and clean, with a bunk bed for the kids who loved it. There are toilets and sinks on each level that are spotless. The shower room is downstairs though, having 5 floors it might be an issue for some people, though not... More

we were there in the winter and the scenary was perfect. J hoppers is less than 10 min walk away from the JR station and also 10 mins away from the morning market.

The hostel was equipped with everything you would need including... More

Forgot the front desk staff's name, she always... More
