THE KITCHEN HOSTEL AO

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.

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! ❤️

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.

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.

Great location, clean facilities, polite and helpful staff and excellent price. The lockers are tall but very narrow. They cannot fit a large check-in suitcase, the maximum size would be a hiking backpack or medium sized check-in suitcase. Beds are comfortable and roomy enough compared to other hostels I’ve been to. But ultimately the biggest advantage of this hostel is its location. It is near the monorail for access to the airport, Kokusai-dori, Lawson, FamilyMart and 7/11 are all <1 min walk away, a shopping mall with a supermarket for snacks and souvenirs, car rental and a 20 min walk to the ferry for access to Zamami and Tokishiki islands.

Great location! Easy access to the monorail and next to the ryubo mall. Next to two convenience stores. Tucked away in a quiet street and facilities are clean. Stayed for a few nights and I would highly recommend it.

I am glad I was able to book here, it had great reviews! Very nice staff and the facilities were so clean and safe! I want to stay here again, as a solo traveller I would recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in Naha center and close walk to Kokusai-dori and other areas. Thank you!

One of the best hostels I've stayed, everything super quiet and well organised! Handy to also be a cafe, so we can have an honest japanese breakfast set at a discounted rate too. Location is great, very close to the airport through monorail (15").
