Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
After 3 hostels/guesthouses in a row, we were really happy to stay at ∧ Hostel Minamisenju. We liked that the building and facilities were newer and cleaner. The person at the front desk was friendly as well.
Our room was a little dusty but it was clean enough, though we could have also benefited from a mirror in the room and a few hooks for our towels and clothing items to lessen clutter in such a small room.
We liked being able to heat up food in the kitchen, and that there was table/desk space to eat or work on laptops.
Although we had to share a bathroom with those on our floor, they seemed to be clean as well (I can't say much about the shower room as we used a nearby sento). We saw that other guests complained about the size of the Compact room, so we got the Superior one instead so we could easily pack/unpack our things. We saw that guests in the smaller rooms would pack their things in the hallway, especially in the middle of the night, and within the quiet hours posted. It would be nice if this was done in the lobby instead to avoid disrupting others.
