The room and toilet are clean. Shampoo, conditioner, body soap are provided. Toothbrush and toothpaste have to be self-prepared. Around 15-20 mins walk from the Kurashiki JR station. However, it is just 2 mins walk from the Bikan Area. Convenience store is around 5 mins walk from the hostel.

Full of thoughtful touches! Shared bathroom had all the toiletries you might need. Tea and coffee area (free!) was super cute and the sink in the room was much appreciated! Would definitely stay again. Only con is that the reception staff weren’t very nice except for the lady who very kindly helped us carry our luggage upstairs.

Very clean but with design flaws”

Booked annex twin room - The room was really clean and the toilet was spacious and nice but 1. It would have been good and useful if there was a clothing hook at the back of the toilet door (really, it’s a very simple design flaw that can be fixed.) and 2. The washing machine in the room has no drying function and nobody tells you that. Solution that was given was to use the coin-operated dryer at the main hostel building. It wouldn’t have been that much of a problem if not for the fact that the annex rooms are in another building away from the main hostel building. This meant that you had to take your wet laundry and run over to the main building twice. It would have been great if the washing machine had a drying function and spare us the runs late at night, or at least have a coin-operated dryer in the annex building. For those used to harder beds, beware that you will sink into these beds.

Instead of explaining check-in related info to us (like with breakfast or not), the staff we encountered that evening would rather ask us to fill in the whole list of form, which left us exhausted and clueless. When we finally sorted it out and made it clear we didn’t need breakfast, the staff put up a long face.....

Comfortable Stay in an Artistic Space”

We had a very comfortable stay in Cuore, which happened to be located in the "cuore (center)" of Kurashiki Biken Area. Within 2 minutes walk you can arrive at the famous Ohara Museum and canal area, 10 minutes walk to Ivy Square and to most of the spots in Kurashiki Biken Area. The staff are nice and welcoming. The whole hostel were decorated in an (probable) Southern Italian Style, with a touch of Japanese style, which makes this place very amiable and approachable. The room is well-equipped (we lived in a 6 beds dorm f.y.i) The bed is a bit small yet comfty. Shower room is also very well-equipped, with a clean environment. They offered guests Q-Tip, razor, towel and Hair-dryer, which I personally really appreciate. Truly recommend this place, will definitely book it again if I come back to Kurashiki!

Amazing Experience!!!”

I've never stayed in a hostel before... But Cuore was just too cute to pass up on!!! We stayed in the Japanese style room with ensuite bathroom... Really comfy tatami beds... Large bathroom... There are cosy communal spaces for those staying in the hostel... And an awesome cafe / bar in the basement. The whole hostel has this undeniable sense of calm and peacefulness that residents are all careful to maintain. Plus, Kurashiki is an artist paradise... Craftsmen galore... And it's the mecca for Japanese denim!

Hip Hostel”

The place is really clean. Stylish hostel, everything is provided; shampoo, conditioner and body wash etc. What I really like is the lobby/cafe and the bookshelves on the sides. I also like the quaint style. Location wise, a good 10 - 12 mins. walk from JR Kurashiki station. A 2-minutes walk to Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter. I stayed at dorm style and it was really warm and comfortable. Showers and Toilets are always clean. I availed their breakfast for 500 yen, its all worth it!

The place is very close to the kurashiki old town area. Staff are very friendly. The only downside is that the shared shower room/lavatory is a bit far from the room. When the weather is cold, it could be freezing for going to the public bathroom. Overall, it's a very nice place to stay, highly recommended.

Nice stay in darling town”

The hostel is very hip looking - my favorite part was the restaurant/bar on the ground floor. Great food and drinks. Fairly close to the train station, and very near a beautiful canal and historic Kurashiki. I felt like the dorm beds were a bit too close together, and was not the best value overall - for example, I have a private room in Tokyo for just a few more dollars a night. I didn't like how you couldn't use the shower or restroom for a large chunk of the daytime. The person who checked me in spoke zero English, which surprised me as the main point person at a hostel for travelers. The staff was very nice though. Overall, recommended.

Some staffs speak limited English, while a chosen few speak very fluently. room is clean and slightly spacious since there is no shower in room but there is a basin for hand wash in the room.

It was a bit far from the Station, but i gladly took the large route to it and it was amaaaaaazing. Walking around the old town to get to the hostel was one of the most surprising events! I loved it. The Hostel is very very nice, the 1st floor is a restaurant bar area, and the breakfast buffet area aswell. My box (8 bed room) it was very cozy and comfrotable. Loved it, though no extra spot to leave your staff. Toilets and Showers very nice and clean, also facial and soap thingys. Hallway is wide open son it was cold!!!
