Very good

I wouldn't recommend this hostel, even though it's very new and in very clean conditions.
I visited Fukuoaka during the corona virus outbreak, and as a person with Asian/Chinese descent I feel like the check-in staff were extremely unfriendly to me. Further, I was booked into the shared dormitory, which I would strongly suggest avoiding because there's around 18 people couped into one room.
Would recommend another place where there's less people in a room (eg. 8 room dorm) because there are only 4 showers for the whole floor, so essentially sharing this with 60+ people.
Overall, new hostel but one of the more unpleasant experiences I encountered in Japan (which is a very friendly country normally).
place look awesome and cool. The vibe is great, I normally grab one or two drinks while waiting for my friends. Price wise is awesome too, I travel with 5 friend so we took the whole room with 3 bunk bed. If you travel individual might have some hassle with other traveler and required to be more considerate. Overall for me was a good stay for a group. Location was is very awesome too as it just around the corner with Canal City.
The location of the hostel is the best. I think the room size is just nice as I was staying in the 16 mixed dormitory. Be aware that check in is only 4pm onwards but no worries as everything is just a walking distance to keep you occupied before checking in.
Very clean and well attended. A bit loud on the first night but that was the fault of other guests, and it was a holiday in Japan so cannot blame them!
Location was great! You can walk to a lot of key places / must visit areas in Fukuoka. Bed was also spacious, bathrooms clean and dry most times. Service is a possible are of improvement -- I was offered new sheets but never actually got them when I confirmed.
Staying in Fukuoka for 1 night on my way to the airport. It’s a quick 12 minute walk down the Main Street out of the train station. Meals and drinks available for purchase at the bar lounge(the night I was there they were having a big Indian curry party). Security code to get into the building after hours and to get into your room. There’s not a ton of space for suitcases in the room (I.e. we had to walk single file past the suitcases lined up against the wall), but the bed linens were clean, the bed was comfortable, the bar was quiet after dinner and it was really easy to get to the train station.
