    In this common lounge area, you’ll find endearing second-hand furniture with books, indoor plants, and sofas waiting to melt away your worries. Here and all throughout the hotel, the wifi is complimentary, fast and reliable. After taking in the setting, you might notice the lovely managers, a young Japanese couple that speak English.

    The room options vary between shared dorm spaces that accommodate five or six people per room and private tatami mat rooms with futons or bunk beds. Each space has its own private shower and toilet. The minimalist concrete design allows you to focus on your experience thus far, rather than getting distracted with extravagant designs.

    There is an elevator that goes up to the fifth floor so that you don’t have to exhaust your journey-wearied body even further with stairs. Before you jump up there though, one thing to point out is the multipurpose use of the second floor. There you’ll find the communal amenities you’re used to in a guesthouse. Complete with a kitchen, dining space, lounging area, laundry machine and bathtub & shower area.

    On the sixth floor, there is a rooftop terrace. A great spot to get a good view of the area, this terrace has two faces. During the day, it’s a nice place to have some lunch or read a book. While at night, the space becomes a bar and social gathering area for you to meet people from all over the world. Sometimes the managers offer events for guests such as yoga lessons. Don’t hesitate to jump in and build some skills and new friendships!
