    Aso Base Backpackers exceeded my expectations. The interior was beautifully arranged, with cute and functional furniture and decorations. Everything was extremely clean, except for some fellow housemates who didn't clean up after themselves. The location was perfect, right next to the station and Lawson convenience store. The owners were friendly and provided helpful information about the area. I highly recommend this hostel for its great quality at a cheap price.

    The hostel was a cozy and comfortable place to stay. the common area was filled with thoughtful touches, like a writing desk where you could listen to music by the window. I also appreciated the free tea and coffee. the location was perfect, being close to the base of Mt. Aso and just a short walk from the Aso station. It was a great spot for exploring the area and even trying hitchhiking from the road.

    That the reception was closed for a large part of the day, and there was only a small window of time for check-in. the male cleaner also wasn't very friendly, which was a bit off-putting.

    This place is absolutely mind-blowing! The staff are super helpful and the common areas, bathrooms, and rooms are in pristine condition. The cute pillows and stuffed animals are a jaw-dropping touch. The lounge spots are incredibly well decorated and give off a comfy feeling. My friends and I were completely blown away by the LOVELY and cute vibe of this place. I can't wait to come back again!

    Super convenient location, just a short walk from the train and bus station. the common area had a cozy and rustic feel, which added to the charm of the surrounding area. - I really appreciated the helpfulness of the staff in providing recommendations for things to do and see nearby.

    The reception had limited opening hours, which made it a bit inconvenient when needing assistance or purchasing items from the hostel. It would have been helpful if the hostel had provided more detailed information in advance regarding the limited reception hours.

    I stayed at this quaint and spacious hostel called Base Backpackers. The facilities were great, with easy luggage storage and a convenient location near the train station, onsen, Lawson, and other amenities. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the kitchen provided complimentary spices, cooking oil, and tea. I also appreciated the cheaper ticket to the exceptional onsen nearby. The building and facilities had a modern feel, and the common area had a charming rustic atmosphere. The staff also provided a neighborhood map, which was very helpful for exploring the countryside area of Aso.

    I had a wonderful experience staying at Base Backpackers. The cleanliness of the kitchen was impressive, with pans that were not scratched and a stove that looked brand new. The open room layout with tatami mats created a relaxing atmosphere that encouraged guests to socialize. Despite the rainy weather during my stay, the hostel provided a cozy and comfortable environment. The location was convenient, only a three-minute walk from the train/bus station. I highly recommend this hostel for its cleanliness, atmosphere, and location.

    Felt right at home, no reason to complain.
