Worst than a hostel
The room was dirty. Bed sheet was stained. The shared toilet and bathroom is the worst. It was truly very dirty. The worst bathroom I ever seen in my lifetime.

In a great location, quick and easy to get to most things nearby. Wasn’t the most clean place though. Especially the shower room or but for the price it’s understandable. And yes, I would still stay there again.

Can’t beat the price for this awesome hostel!
Everything is good! You can’t beat the price for the value, I work in Chatan area but live all the up north and alley when work requires me to be super early, I stay at this awesome, simple but accommodating hostel. Thank you to the wonderful staff as always!

Hidden Gem/ My Safe place
Great place for the price! Safe and simple yet close to everything. My place is all the way up north but I work in Chathan area and so days I don’t feel like making the 1-1 1/2 drive long route or 45 minute express way drive back to my place, so for safety reasons I stay at the hostel. Friendly staff, awesome location. I can even walk to Hotto Motto (bento fast food) my it. Thanks so much and can’t beat the price! Thanks Ms Linda and the rest of the staff!

Much better than expected!
This hostel was awesome! From the moment i checked in, Linda was very friendly and helpful. The room was a women's dormitory. It was surprisingly clean and fresh. I had the room to myself as there were no others staying in the room. They have a nice lobby with tables and a computer that may be used, a microwave oven and complimentary coffee. Another big plus was the bicycles that are available to use without additional charge. I originally only booked one night because i was concerned that it would not be nice. I ended up staying 2 more nights! Again, Linda in the office was awesome and so was the housekeeper!!!!! Only a block to the beach, good location!

hostel close by the beach and not far from American village. The condition of the hostel does not look great, just better shape than a shack. Hostel is clean and okay if it's just a night stay.

Air con isn't free; 'bed' was a mattress on floor
I was not happy to have to pay for air conditioning. This was not clear on the website and in 40 degree heat it was unsatisfactory to be waking up multiple times during the night sweating. Also my 'bed' was a mattress on the floor too. Free rice and eggs was great though and staff were nice.

Not what we expected
There was a 12am garrenteed check in and we arrived just before midnight when we got there no one is around or at service counter, no key for our room! We had no choice but to wait in the "lobby area" until 10am. Not the best way to treat your guests! also be aware the locals staying at the resort were a little strange! But other then that not to bad hah

Hamby resort
I stayed at hamby for 11 days. It's not great for long term stay. The rooms can fit a bed and suitcase. There is a common area if you want to hang out. Free rice and eggs. Laundry is free and dryer cost money. The bathrooms are ok but stocked. There is actually 2 part to the hotel. The main one is a lot nicer. It's good when your on a budget. Close to many restaurants and the Araha beach

Great Location, but very basic accommodations
The room is very basic--bed, coffee table, lamp stand. It did have a flat screen TV with about 6 Japanese stations. The floor is linoleum and was stained. There was something running down one of the walls. The bed was a bit firm, but comfortable. In order to get to the bathroom, you have to walk in an exterior, but covered walkway. The decking was wet when raining. The exterior doors are never locked and often standing open. It was in the 50's when I was there, so it was quite cold in the walkways and the unheated bathroom. The bathroom had two stalls and two locking showers. I think the bathroom was the nicest part of the stay. They had a free washer and paid dryer. The lobby had a table for playing cards and two computers. They also had a small kitchen for guest use. A lot of things went wrong the last day. The heater in my room stopped working. The hotel staff offered to allow me to move rooms, but initially I declined. After deciding that would be a good idea, the front desk was closed (it closes at 11:00 pm). As a result, I couldn't change rooms, nor could I get extra blankets. I used the washer and dryer on site. I dried my clothes for an hour (3-20 minute cycles at 100 Yen each) and they came out still wet. Finally, as I was attempting to wash up in the morning, there was no water in the bathroom. I left at 10:00 AM and the front desk was still not open. It would have been nice to get some of the yen back I wasted in the dryer and broken heater.
Partially covered exterior hallway.
Small room, but inexpensive.

Nice and "campy"
I really enjoyed the change of pace from the typical. This resort provides a unique, "campy" type Hostel with a fun staff, nice atmosphere and friendly people. Located near the beach with restaurants and malls within easy reach.

It was a nice hotel, small room with a comfy bed !
We stayed here for 2 nights, the staff was nice and friendly, the room was cute and small, the bed was comfy, there was a small sofa, we had to pay for a/c with coins, but it wasnt a big deal, 100 yen for 4 hours, and 500 yen for 24 hours.. The restroom is shared but seperated from the males, and they provide hygiene products.

Close to the beach
The place is very inexpensive and close to the beach and night entertainment. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel is functionable as it had a common kitchen, but very basic. It had strong molding smell in the room. I'd say that this place is good for the young people, who travel inexpensively.

Definitely not a resort
Quick email responses and informed us how to get there when we enquired. Wasn't easy to get to from airport, taxi driver was very unreliable and dishonest; started meter without knowing where to go despite us giving them the address (no GPS system; had to call their office for directions). The people at the reception were welcoming. Free rental bikes: needs to be replaced as they were very rusted,bike wheels were popped and worn out. Walls were paper thin and conversations can be heard clearly from other rooms. Only two toilets and showers were available for females, although in the bathroom, toiletries were supplied (comb, bath sponge, cotton buds, hair dryer). Definitely not suited for families.

Air Conditioning instructions
I like to protect the environment & agreed open air conditioning when necessary. It is hard to climb into bed with the light in the way. Staffs are friendly even not great in English but very helpful. It was great & met a guest tell us what to do and go. Good food & choices in the American Village. Got lost on the way back but a friendly Japanese man direct us back to Hamby.

Great if you want to rough it
This hotel is very cheap and great for the adventurous traveler. It is a bit hard to find because the phone number was incorrect. Should be 81 access code not 91. Excellent area - close to beaches. The rooms were like small sheds with very limited furniture or amenities. The bathroom and shower were outside in separate sheds. The air conditioning is an extra small fee and you have to find the remote control in order to get it to work. Overall, it is like a hostel and would be great for single travelers, young couples or groups.

Even if you arrive early for check-in at 15:00, you won't be able to get in early.If you go there on a motorbike and stop, the owner will come to warn you. The room is small. The attitude of the staff is not very friendly. I'm not going anymore.
