Fukuoka Guesthouse HIVE

Good value of money specially when you’re in tight budget. The location is only few minutes to bus stops which was really convenient. I love the ambiance of the place because its traditional japanese house. The amenities are not that bad as well, there was curling iron and hair dryer in the womens area which I did not see anywhere I stayed.

Very kind and helpful staff!

Good place to stay at if youre travelling alone. Everybody kept to themselves for the most part but the staff and the visitors are open to engage if you're willing to. The bedding is quite thin and you may feel the wood beneath it if you're in the dorm so if that's not your cup of tea, i would recommend against it. Also there are separate fees for toothbrushes and towels

Pros: the place is really cute. Traditional Japanese style hostel. The staff is really kind and helpful. The other guests were also really nice people and interesting to talk with. My only con and reason why I gave an overall rating at 3/5 starts: the bed and pillow was horrible to sleep on. I ended up getting very little sleep the whole trip because my back was in serious pain and my neck was killing me from the pillow - i actually think it was all due to the pillow and not so much the mattress. There was absolutely no neck support and it left me with horrible neck and headaches throughout the day. Also I was in a bottom sleeping bed and it was really hot, but that's honestly something that can't be helped except to turn up the A/C in which case the top bunks get real cold, so not much that can be done there. Truly the place was wonderful but the lack of sleep really impeded my overall enjoyment of the whole trip.

Wonderful place to stay, staff were kind and helpful. Rooms were quiet and comfortable.
