Kamp Houkan-cho Backpacker's Inn & Lounge

Air conditioning: normal

Location was nice. Room was quite cramped and the stairs to the second floor were odd and difficult to climb. Staff was very friendly and all the facilities worked well.

So doors do not open until eleven so can't drop luggage off so don't bother arriving early. If that had been on the website I would have used a storage locker at the station and gone back later in the evening. So you had best be okay with heights. For the dorms 1 through four you have to use a spiral staircase to reach the area where the dorms are. Have fun getting a backpack or suitcase up and down those. I was there the middle of April. The dorm I was in was full no air conditioner, no fan, no way to open the window because there was no screen and mosquitoes were out in force. Humidity in the 80 percent range. So unpleasant. There four bathrooms only one of which working. Two said out of order and the other was locked not sure why. So compared to the others I have stayed in not to be recommended.

While the quaint building was left as it was, the interior was newly renovated, including the bathroom and other water facilities, making it easy to use, and the area around the bed was clean. However, there were two staff members, one of whom seemed to be a new employee, and she kept asking the other staff member who was checking me in what she couldn't do herself., and continued to talk about their job with other staff member when I drunk in the cafe, which was inappropriate and unpleasant behavior in front of guests. I would like to add that other one wasn't at fault in this case.

quiet stay here at KAMP, definitely nothing social about this hostel. Bar downstairs is quiet, great location to the city most things walkable
