I really liked the location, it’s a quick little walk to Hakata station, it’s also super close to a JP post office (if you are looking to send anything to people back home like I did) which has staff who speak pretty good English and willingness to help you with sending packages. There are lots of restaurants and convenience stores in the area as well to eat at. The early check in is also great and the timing for it worked really well for my travels, the gentleman who checked me in was super nice and very helpful when I had questions later on in my stay. I ended up extending my stay here because I really like the location to Hakata station. This is a pretty small hostel put it has everything needed to have a comfortable stay.

The early check out, I’m guessing that the early check in results in this but the beginning of the cleaning happens at that same time as check out. So if you are a light sleeper be prepared to be woken up when the cleaning staff wake people up because they have to leave in 20minutes.

This is the second time I have stayed at JAM. The first was in March 2019. Of five hostels/guest houses I have stayed at in Fukuoka, I think I like JAM best because of its price, its central location near the Hakata bus and train transportation hub, its kitchen, and its cleanliness.

Sometimes it feels a little cramped, especially when I get the bed right by the door to the women's dorm door. When the door opens, the door blocks access to bed 207. If you are sitting at the mouth of the bed, you might be blocking the door. This is not a big problem. Also, I hope that the kitchen sometime gets more pots and pans and dishware.

Great that we managed to check in early around 9am, super helpful as I was already in the area, so I didnt have to carry out bags around all day

Allowed early check-in. Aircon worked well Curtains for privacy were of a good standard.

Best is the convenient location. Only a 7 minute walk from Hakata Station. All around are convenience shops. Fukuoka city is very well laid out and pleasant to navigate. The staff was very kind and helpful, always updating me and always answering all my queries promptly. I had a pleasant stay! TQ

I had an issue with my luggage and the owner was so helpful and went out of her way to help me get the luggage to my house, she helped me so much I appreciate her so much, definitely a place to stay again, owner is really sweet, I recommend!!!

nothing :)

Regular hostel. dorm is quite spacious and locker are designed to accomodate suitcases.

when you're on the bottom bed, there's a gap between the curtain and the top bed, so people passing by can peek on you

It was very close to Hakata Station. Plenty of restaurants and stores close by. It was very clean and organized.

The storage area for my heavy luggage was upstairs, and there was no elevator. The common room had a motion detected light, so when I was there alone to read the lights kept shutting off.

Perfectly located easy access to anywhere The place is pretty new and safe The owners are friendly and helpful :)

Very close to Hakata Station, approx an 8 minute walk. Friendly and accommodating staff.

There was a lot of ladies long hairs on my futon and some on the bedsheets.

The staff was really friendly, the equipments are good and the localisation is perfect.

There could be better chairs in the lounge (with a back). The beds have a really thin mattress so it was a bit too hard.
