Very clean rooms everywhere in the building! Super nice staff that you could talk to comfortably! The female dorm has a lock for the night, so you feel safe. In the common area there is the option to heat up food and have tea/coffee, too. Also good to hang out and meet some other people. The mattress was surprisingly comfortable for a cubicle bed.

If several people have bigger suitcases it gets really cramped in the female dorm. Also had the feeling if you wake up before 9am, you might wake up everyone with just opening your suitcase, taking a shower or going to the bathroom. But that might just be the people I stayed with at that time… ;) I think if you want to have more privacy and the option to do your thing, book the private rooms that are available.

Very cool house in nice location, japanese style rooms and overall nice design. The location was calm, yet convenient for visiting the city, many shops and restaurants close by. We got to park our bicycles outside with no problem. Some very nice and helpful people working there (thanks for advices and literature tips ;) ).

Basically it was all good. The check-in/check-out policy was pretty strict (prolonged our stay, but with a different room and still had to wait until 4 to check in again, even though the room was ready earlier). I guess, that’s the rules, but felt a bit unnecessary to be so precise about it in that case..

The front desk workers were very kinda and friendly, I missed the last train to my next destination and needed an emergency accommodation which they were able to provide. I was estimated to get there around 9:30p and check-on closed at 10pm and I was rushing to get there but I later saw they had send a message to let them know if I would be arriving late so they can prepare. They were really sweet and glad I was able to book only two hours before and they were prepared for me when I arrived. The bed was also very spacious, bigger than twin size bed but smaller than double. It was very comfortable and clean.

You will be squished like sardines a bit lol, and if the people staying the night all have huge luggage there will be barely enough room to walk. Definitely bring ear plugs and eye masks since you’re all in a room together so people will be snoring, walking, using the lights, etc. while you’re trying to sleep but most people were very respectful and considerate of the quiet.

A quaint location with old streets and many temples and shrines nearby, yet not far from Hakata station and the canals. Friendly young staff who speak good English. Nice common area downstairs to chat with other travellers, eat and have coffee. It's a friendly relaxing place to chill and meet people if you've been travelling alone for a while, but the dorms are too crammed.

The female dorm is really crammed with no space for luggage whatsoever. They only provide a pillow case and one sheet, and I am not entirely sure if the duvet cover gets washed between each guest. :( Whilst everyone is really quiet in the dorm, one girl stomps around like an elephant when she gets in an out of bed. You can also hear people talking downstairs late into the night.

I was welcomed with great hospitality. The team was so nice, helpful and very fun and cool, too. Even though the common room is small it is very nice to chill and has everything I needed. Bathrooms were spacious and clean! The location was perfect for me, not too far from main train station, city center or airport.

This is not a major issue but I had to put on all the sheets myself. There was no duvet cover, but they happily gave me one after asking. The matress unfortunately had springs that I could feel slightly. I wish it would have been a futon mattress.

Super helpful staff. Hiroto san went out of his way for me to provide me the use of thir land phones for overseas phone calls I needed to make urgently at midnight. He pre-determined the cost per 3 minutes, I pre-paid for 30 min. then I was able to pay cash after the fact, for the balance owing as my business calls went on longer. This was so important for me to accomplish and thanks to the kind efforts of Hive staff, it was accomplished!

The location was further from Hakata station than ideal but that was okay.

Location is perfect. Just smack in the middle of Hakata Station, Canal City and Tenjin. The staff speaks English which is very easy to communicate with. And of course willing to help you with a few Japanese words. Yuki is very friendly, helpful and accommodating. He even allowed me to have extra pillow without extra charge.

The internet connection can be improved but then again you are Japan to bask in the culture, people and experience so a little disconnection from the online world is a refreshing experience.

I love that the shared room is on the ground floor! Makes it easier since I carry heavy luggages when I travel! Right next door is a convenience store! Very close by to a lot of restaurants as well as the bus station and train station! Pretty walkable!

I don’t know what it’s like during summer there, but I can imagine it can get really hot. Hopefully the air condition if provided will be good enough to relax the guests!

Great location, the street is really calm and nice, cute building. Just 10-15min walking for Hakata station, and near the center of Fukuoka. Nice gathering room.

The people staying in the hostel didn't really respected the time of silence, lots of noise and drinking after 11:00PM, the next day people haven't clean the table. Lot of leftovers (drinks and foods). Not really respectful for the rest of the people staying in the hostel. But it's not the staff fault.

I loved how affordable the room was and how I was able to feel safer in a female dormitory. They kept everything clean as well. The staff was super nice and you meet new people just getting ready in the morning. I had no issues when it came to sharing a space. However, I would suggest showering midday to avoid the rush at night.

If you are a light sleeper request a top bunk. When people move in their sleep you can hear everything. If you are a heavy sleeper it won't be a problem! Also, I didn't dislike this but lights are out at 10 PM so you should keep that in mind when getting ready for bed.
