This is the only cheapest place
clean beds and shower and toilet, good water pressure and heating system in the shower, good common facilities (microwave and fridge), cosy and vintage interior, cheap and (really) good breakfast set
I was allowed to bath in the Hot spring with a swimsuit. Cheap price. Nice Staff.
Very good room, well equipped. Beds are softer than most budget options I've had before in Japan. Very good for the price. Would recommend
Perfect location, the friendliest staff I've ever met, a lot of recommendations, cool atmosphere and mixing modern with tradition as the building is a renovated old Japanese house. The town is famous for hot springs but most of the hotels would have been pretty expensive, so I'm very happy that Hostel Knot exists so that budget travellers can explore the lovely town too.
The environment was clean and tidy. It is cheap.
You can’t get a cheap shared hostel like this anywhere else in Japan. Located in a rejuvenated Ryokan built a hundred years ago, you’ll get to enjoy the old good Japanese style accommodation soaked in the beautiful wood scent with the minimum cost. Plus there is personal furo that you can use for free, if you don’t like the Japanese shared bath.
I liked the free breakfast & cheap beer.
The room was spacious and very cheap. There is a 7-11 across the building.
