Awesome!”

Stayed here for 5 days. Met aki and another lady (which i forgot to ask her name). Both are lovely, and friendly and very helpful. The other lady eventhough she cant speak in english, she tried very hard to explain to us regarding the place. The location is a bit at the outskirts which was fine for me as it was not too noisy. The toilets are clean and shampoo+conditioner provided, for free! Nearest station (suminokoen subway st - yotsubashi line) which is about 5-10 minutes walk. There’s also lawson and family mart nearby if you want to buy some on the go snacks, and mcD (in case you have middle of the night food cravings lol) I enjoyed my stay there. Thank you hotel river forest for the hospitality ❤️

Roomy option for those willing to walk”

Excellent hostel with super accommodating staff willing to help out with laundry and printing things out. Large, modern shower heads made for some really amazing showers. Room was incredibly spacious (probably owed to the bunk bed in our room). Only thing I would change is the location, which was rather south of the center of the city and a 7-9 min walk to the closest metro station (Suminoekoen).

Not really a hotel but hostel and useful one”

- 8 min walk from a terminal station of New Shuttle and Metro with an interesting view of the big Suminoe motorboat race tracks. - Mostly chain enterprises, but still many good shops and restaurants between the ho(s)tel and the station including Donki. - Convenient for convention centre visitors and ferry users and off-downtown travellers. - Easy reservation, inexpensive charges, relaxed, calm, neat and clean enough with free wifi. - But be in mind; your room may have a TV set may be very small and old, a wooden bunk bed but have no toilet/bath/shower room (per floor shower/toilet space was fine to me, though). - You might find a little more decent "hotel" not "hostel" with the same or just a bit higher cost even in downtown if you have time and patience with PC. But, after all, I enjoyed the stay.

良い点 ・駅から10分かからない。 ・近くにコンビニやドラッグストア、飲食店多い ・駅が始発駅なので座って移動できる ・部屋は十分な広さ。 ・スタッフは親切 悪い点 ・設備の修理がいまいち。壊れているところが多い。年末年始だからしょうがない部分はあるけど、1月5日の朝シャワーに入ろうとしたら一階のシャワー室両方の電気がつかず。スマホのライトで明るくしました。 ・部屋の独特な臭い。 ・他国の方のマナーの悪さ。一階シャワー室使用中の看板を使い終わってもそのままにしている。お陰でシャワー室がなかなか使えなかった。 設備面が適切に使えるようであればまた利用したいです。スタッフの方々にはお世話になりました。
