THE KITCHEN HOSTEL AO

You get soo much bang for your buck here!! The place is organized in a way and manner where you can feel assured that it’s clean. The dorms are very crowded and yet it’s so quiet. (Yes you will hear people snore, but that’s not something anyone can control so get earplugs) Lovely. You have your own lil cave/capsule and light . The curtains are very light proof so it won’t bother anyone at night. Bed is a bit on the harder side, and to me the harder beds in Japan have completely fixed my lower back issues I had from back home. You can sit in the café area downstairs till around 2 am before they have to wash it and throw out the garbage. The showers felt clean and smell nice. You also get your own locker you can have your valuables in. Quite tall and narrow, but will fit many hand luggage sized bags. They have an automatic water dispenser downstairs a mini fridge and a microwave. Sadly no kitchen area, but as it’s very close to a supermarket and you can ask staff for a plate and such, it wasn’t much of an issue. The door code changes EVERY day. To me that was VERY re assuring. It felt really safe and just very good. There will always be one staff there jic, which added to the feeling of safety. I will definitely chose this hostel if I ever come back to Naha again. Just perfect for my needs. Great location and great facilities! I am VERY appreciative to ALL of the staff for making this safe haven! P.s you can bring outside food, and you get a discount on selected items on the menu of the café! ❤️

Pretty good for solo trip. The rooms/beds/bathrooms/showers are very clean which I loved. All the staff are very friendly and attentive. The guests are fine, most of them minding/doing their own stuff. The only thing I would say is to not get the beds near the door. It gets really loud and annoying with people opening/closing the doors with all the beeping and unlocking noise from the front door. Either than that, very good stay, clean, and friend staff.

The rooms are really good just too crowded. Anyways people do respect the rules and they don’t make a lot of noise after 9pm. There is a locker and bathroom space separate so people don’t disturb. I stayed in the female dorm and the experience was good. They don’t offer you towel, you have to pay for it. Location is really convenient for the port and airport. Also 10min walk from the Main Street in Naha.

DO NOT STAY HERE!! It’s a scam, I booked a bed in a 10 bed dorm to show up and realize it’s actually 90 beds. The old woman at the counter laughed in my face when I asked if they could put me in the room I booked and told me they just put 10 beds to get more bookings. It’s extremely dirty, uncomfortable beds, horrible atmosphere. There is no redeeming qualities to this dump. You will not sleep as there are people coming and going all night, alarms going off and no sound proofing. I’ve traveled for 4 years continuously, over 70 countries, hundreds of properties and have never experienced anything like this before. Trust me, go somewhere else

the place was very well located, the staff was super friendly, the coffee place is def a plus! The beds are not exactly bunk beds so if the person staying on top moves a lot, you won’t really feel it if you are staying at the bottom one, which is great. Something to take in consideration is that it gets really hot and u can’t really do much about it.

I highly recommend this place! It's an affordable accommodation very close to the monorail station and three convenience stores. You can also comfortably have breakfast (for a fee) on-site without stepping out.

The dorms area is pretty packed, but it's also ok, you have good privacy, and for the price it's definitely worth it. The overall facilities of the hostel were pretty good, the staff was nice, and the location is very convenient. It's a nice budget option in Naha, and a great option. They have coin laundry service as well.

Everything is perfect!! around 10 mins from the airport by taxi, 10 mins of walk to the Main Street. The room and the facilities are clean. The front desk is nice too
