Hostel Knot

I stayed at Hostel Knot for one night during a trip around the Izu Penninsula. I chose it for its location, price, and positive reviews. The room was clean, well-presented, and had good facilities, exceeding my expectations. I only spent time sleeping there as I was out most of the time, but the capsule was perfect for my needs; comfortable and quiet with good bedding, plug sockets and a small safe. I used the recommended Onsen where we were offered a discount which was excellent. The location was great, everything was within easy walking distance with a nice bar on the street and restaurants in town. We were given a great map with the locations of all the places of interest as well as recommendations for restaurants and bars. There was also books in the communal area with lunch and dinner recommendations which were really handy. Can't fault this place. Really good value for money and a really warm welcome. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay! We thought it was one of the best hostels we have stayed in in Japan. Lovely staff, the standard of cleanliness was exceptional, and excellent facilities. We'll be back!

I found Hostel Knot through booking.com, and I was drawn to its affordable price, good location, and positive reviews from other guests. I opted for a private room, which was comfortable and reasonably priced. The entire facility was very clean, and the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. During my stay, I enjoyed exploring the small town, savoring local soba, and soaking in the overall vibe. I will definitely recommend this hostel to my friends, as it offers both affordability and complimentary access to nearby onsen. We had a wonderful time there, and I appreciate all the assistance from the staff!

I stayed at Hostel Knot for two nights. I was welcomed at check-in by Haru and Jamie, who were both very warm and kind throughout my stay. Jamie even helped me book a reservation at a nearby sushi restaurant. I really appreciated that because it was delicious and I wouldn't have known about it if they hadn't told me about it and also that a reservation was required! I really enjoyed my stay at Hostel Knot. The other travelers staying there were very friendly and I had a good time chatting and hanging out with them. It helps that there's a newly-opened bar next door (called イイヅカ). The town was packed with tourists during the day but at night it became very quiet and peaceful and I enjoyed walking around after dark. During my stay, Haru patiently walked me through the neighborhood restaurants and onsens which was great because I really loved each and every place that I went to! Shout out to Nayuta's breakfast toast and the Hostel Knot discount at Hakoyu!

I live in South Kent, Connecticut, and stayed at Hostel Knot for 2 nights on my friend's recommendation. She enjoys meeting interesting people at hostels, and I was happy to join her. We had a great time! Jamie is terrific ! She was very warm and welcoming and helpful during our stay. I liked my capsule-like room and was surprised at how quiet it was, even with so many people sleeping closely together. We spent our time having lunch in the kitchen, chatting with others in the living room, enjoying the ofuro, and sleeping well in my capsule. We loved walking around the town, exploring shops, visiting the temple and shrine. I always like to buy incense at temples and good luck charms, and we even bought fresh wasabi for my friend who is a chef. We had a lot of fun!

One of the best hostels I’ve stayed at so far. The staff (Jamie) was super friendly and even left a personal, hand-written note for each guest at checkout. The beds are comfortable, the facilities clean and well-maintained. The house is designed as a traditional Ryokan with tatami mats and Chabu-dai in the common room, an extremely well-equipped kitchen with everything one needs, Yukata and Jinbei for free use and overall with a love-for-detail cute decoration. Furthermore, the Onsen was a highlight as it was calm and relaxing as is the roof top with a beautiful view. I’d say that Shuzenji was one of my most favorite places in Japan. If I ever have the chance to come back to Shuzenji again, I will definitely stay here again!

I stayed at this hostel for its convenient price and good location for exploring the Izu Peninsula, with easy access to Tokyo and onward travel. Booking was easy through Booking.com, and communication with the staff via the app was smooth. The room was very clean and comfortable. Even in the shared rooms, the pods felt relatively spacious and private. The fan in each pod is a great idea, as it helps a lot with airflow. Laundry facilities were available, and the kitchen was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked. The onsen next door was wonderful, and the towels and bags provided by the hostel were really useful. Jamie gave us some great recommendations for places to eat when we arrived. We loved exploring Shuzenji Onsen, and took a day trip to Kawazu Nanadaru by bus. Thank you very much for everything! We had a wonderful stay 😊

I stayed for 2 nights and chose this hotel because it was affordable, clean, and conveniently located. I booked through Booking.com, and the process was smooth. The room was very good—clean, spacious, and with comfy beds. The overall cleanliness and tidiness of the facility were perfect; I can't think of anything that needs improvement. The front desk staff was very attentive. She explained how everything worked, gave me dining recommendations, and even helped me find the bus timetable. I didn't buy many souvenirs, but the town looked like it came out of a fantasy—so well maintained! I would definitely recommend Hostel Knot to others!

One of my favorite places to stay in Japan. Very beautiful location, very peaceful at night and lots to explore. Sakuratrees, Plumgroves and Maple groves depending on travel time. Awsome discounts on close by onsen and each of the is different. If you love Wasabi than your at the right place. As well as good viewing points to Mt. Fuji.
