Guest Reviews

Hostel Murasaki

Agoda 10.0 Group

Staff were excellent and the kitchen/free snacks were great. Thoughtful touches like free earplugs.

Booking.com 7.0 Family

Loved the 100-year-old traditional house charm; tatami beds and electric blankets made for a cozy sleep.

Stairs are steep and bathrooms are only on the ground floor.

Expedia 8.0 Couple

Great location walkable to both the train station and old town; friendly staff.

Rooms near common areas have paper doors, so noise carries easily.
