Naha Hostels

"Nice hostel with a relaxed vibe. Inviting common areas. Rooms are functional, and meet all your basic needs. Proximity to the ferry to Zamami makes it perfect for a good night's sleep before heading to the islands in the morning."

"The location is great! It's within walking distance to Kokusai Street and Kenchomae Station. You can easily get around by monorail or bus, and there's even a bus that goes to the Churaumi Aquarium. The cafe downstairs offers affordable breakfast, and guests get a 50 yen discount. This cafe also doubles as a common area for guests, which was a major selling point for me as I needed access to a shared fridge. There were always enough restrooms and showers available; I never had to wait in line. The bed was comfortable, and the blackout curtain was excellent – it blocked out all light when pulled shut. I'm very satisfied with my stay."

"It only takes one to ruin a stay, but this time two selfish neurotic old Chinese speaking women came into room very late at night making so much noise talking and messing with baggage. Upon mentioning disturbance one old woman got angry. That same woman continued to keep me up until 2.16am messing with zipped baggage in bed and dropping heavy objects on the wood above my bed. Total disregard that it was very late and I believe it to be done with deliberation as it was continued for hours after I complained. Then after check in an african woman let her boyfriend in the women's dorm and stand obstructing doorway talking and coming in room. That said african woman and boyfriend were sitting in women's only powder room for hours. Clearly not respecting boundaries yet no one said anything. African woman put all her stuff in my area of room, which I kept clear, and not near her own bed. A very annoying and disruptive night. Not the hostels fault. Usually everything is peaceful here"

"I don't want to give you hope that this is a great hostel. No, it's not a great hostel! Everything is bad there. Everything is old, including the guests. Some are living out their last days there. The only good thing was the staff. They were friendly. Don't embarrass yourself like I did and choose a better option. Or, if possible, book just one night so you can understand everything I'm writing about."

"The first time I stayed at the Kitchen Hostel, I was a little nervous, but after checking in, it completely changed my perception of youth hostels! The password to enter the room will be changed every day! The management here is very meticulous, from the separate storage of men and women in the refrigerator to the introduction of the quiet rules when entering the room area upon check-in, everything makes the entire stay very comfortable! The environment is spacious, the bathroom and toilet are very clean! The facilities are very complete, providing disposable slippers, toiletries, and skin care products. Downstairs is the restaurant, coffee bar and rest area. The breakfast is delicious. You can also bring your own items to eat here. Disposable chopsticks, cups, microwave ovens, etc. are provided! The guests staying here are very well-mannered and the room is very quiet! The waiter will clean the room every day. Self-service is also encouraged here. You need to make your bed or place the bedding in the designated bucket when checking in and out! The County Hall Station is just two minutes away, making it very convenient to go anywhere! After check-out, luggage can be stored, which is super warm! Everything is so comfortable, I will stay here again next time! There was a guy who could speak Chinese, which was great, and we had basic communication problems!"

"This is dormitory guesthouse with the price premium budget, stay with 22 other guests in one room. No towel or toothbrush provided. Easy to find the place, just around the corner of the Naha terminal bus. Had to carry luggage up to the 4th floor with narrow staircase. The single cubicle was hot and stuffy. You have to make your own bed. If you only looking for a night to sleep, it's fine but not advisable to stay here better chip in a bit more for better stay and more comfortable. An envelope was prepared with yoir name on it provided the door code number at the entrance. Unfortunately, my unlucky stay, I arrived at the hotel on 28th October passed midnight, I found that the bed 15 was already occupied. When I confronted the guest, he showed me his booking bed 15 as well. This caused significant inconvenience, as I had to squeeze myself with my partner in bed 16. Unable to arrange new bed as no answer from the the guesthouse. I tailor 2 adults but the bed was occupied by others. It was bad experience."
