The female dorm was really nice. The matress was amazing, the pillow aswell. Although it wasn’t THAT cold (about 16ºC) there was a warm mat between the matress and the sheets. That one was unexpected. I didn’t turned it on because it wasn’t necessary but it’s rly nice to have it during winter. Only a few min before check out I found that the light was also a wireless phone charger, a good point. A few other things I noticed and was beyong expected from a guest house: hair straightener (I forgot the name in english, but is that electronic device that girls usually use to straighten their hair, or curl sometimes). Shower sponge available, towels and slippers also included for free. The shower got warm quite fast. The keys were functional. The lockers were quite big.

Although the door being electronic was really convenient, it’s quite noisy. Everytime someone entered/left the room I would wake up with the sound of the “engine”/screws (I forgot the word again). Another thing that would disturb my sleep was when someone else in the room opened the curtains of their bunks. The noise of the curtain slides are quite loud, also it had some “holes” on the top (not for bad management, but the style itself was like that), so the light would come into my bunk. My suggestion for this one is, if possible, change it for those that you pull vertically. In another hostel I stayed they had this one, that was like the “curtains” we put in our house or even business door’. It’s not noisy and keeps the light away.

The staff here were extremely welcoming and understanding, and the hotel itself was very good value. I had a bed in the mixed dorm (4 beds) and it was very accommodating. My bed had a heated blanket which, while I didn't require it, was still a lovely option to have. The toilets, bathroom and bedroom were clean and well organised, and there was enough space for my bags. I am very grateful to the reception staff for allowing me to leave my bag for a few hours while I went to a temple on the edge of the city, and upon my return they were even curious about my visit; the staff seemed invested in their guests and really go the extra mile. :)

Nothing in particular. If I had to point at something, perhaps it would be the bed mattress; it was OK, as it was neither very comfortable nor uncomfortable.

The dormitory/ pod sleeping space is spacious and well equipped with power and fan. Many good quality amenities such as face wash and moisturizer are provided. Location is 5-10 mins walk from Fukushima station and there are many restaurants/ shops near by. The host is very friendly and can speak English well.

It is an old building so sound insulation is not the best (they provide free ear plugs though). There is also no lift so may not suit people who cannot walk up stairs or carrying big heavy luggage

I booked the female dorm for one night. La Union is well located - close to the station and with many shops and bars nearby. The staff is really friendly and also proficient in English. I even forgot my hand towel in my room the morning I checked out but they were so kind and placed it on my luggage in the locker (you can store your luggage in a locker before check-in or after check-out). Everything was also really clean and comfortable. I enjoyed my stay!

Near the train station and bus terminal. The owner (?) was very nice, I dropped off my luggage before check-in and he put it in my room when the cleaning was done. He also gave me advices on what to visit. The mattress can be heated! You have a space to eat near the rooms and a microwave if you want. Nice free toiletries as well.

The room was a bit small for 4 (but just like the pictures so no surprise) with not a lot of space for luggages, and you can hear everything.

Good stuff: - The staff are nice, Atsuki-san (I hope I didn’t misremember his name) speaks English and was very welcoming. - A lot of facilities are available including washing machine, hair dryer and straightener, ear plugs, towels, lotion for UV protection and a bed that can heat up for the cold nights. - The location is relatively well let at night and it’s in a market with a coffee shop beside it and a really good tie restaurant less than a minute walk away. It’s about 20 min to walk to Fukushima station and the path is well let at night. The location is quiet but there are bars around so you may encounter some drunk people at night.

Stayed at La Union and had an incredible time! The host went above and beyond to make sure I felt welcome and comfortable. Super clean facilities and the beds were really comfy. The host gave great tips on local spots and was really helpful. If you want a friendly place with awesome service, this is it. Can't wait to come back sometime in the future!

There was absolutely nothing to complain about, one of the best if not my best hostel experience.

The location is perfect. Close to the station and right in the middle of many Izakaya and Bar. The owner was very nice and helpful. Breakfast is incredible! The French toast was perhaps the best I ever had and the coffee and soup were super tasty as well.

As it is a hostel I am used to it, but the sound from other guests is very loud. If this is a dealbreaker for you, you might be better of choosing a different place.

Convenient location and a comfortable affordable bed. They will loan a bicycle helmet for free if you want to wear one using the city's Momorin-share bicycle rental service.

Unreliable hot water in the shower. The hostel bike rentals are Y3000+ which was too expensive to consider, so I was glad the city bikeshare exists for shorter trips. The hostel exterior and interior stairs are steep and plentiful and it was difficult to move in my very narrow bunk bed room. You will have difficulty accessing the building and rooms if you have physical disabilities.

Definitely one of the best hostels I've stayed in. Very close to Fukushima Station and has lots of bars and restaurants in the surrounding area. The staff are really friendly and will help you with anything you need, whether it's planning a day trip or travel. They also have E-Bikes for rental at 3000 Yen per day. The beds are super comfortable and also have heated sheets which is an extra treat. I would definitely stay here again next time I'm in Fukushima.
