Tokushima Hostels

A very nice place, walking distance to many attractions. A relaxed vibe and lots of interesting fellow travellers. A good place to stay if you are heading out on the pilgrim trail.

If the hostel wasn’t fully booked, I believe it would have been a decent place to stay. However, because of Golden Week, it was completely full. The soundproofing in the rooms is terrible—I was woken up countless times. Any noise is amplified several times by the wooden partitions, and the banging noises made by other guests were extremely loud. Even during the day when I wasn’t trying to sleep, the noise level was unbearable. I barely got any sleep at all, and once I was woken up around 1 or 2 a.m., it was almost impossible to fall asleep again. I really hope the owner will consider renovating the building’s structure and seriously improving the soundproofing. 満室でなければ、このホステルは悪くなかったと思います。でもゴールデンウィークの影響で、ここは満室でした。部屋の防音が非常に悪くて、何度も音で目を覚まされました。木製の仕切りが音を何倍にも増幅するため、他の宿泊客が出すドンドンという音がとにかくうるさくて、昼間でも寝ていなくても騒音が気になるほどでした。一晩中ほとんど眠れず、深夜1〜2時ごろに起こされた後は、なかなか寝付けませんでした。ホステルのオーナーには、ぜひ建物の構造を見直し、防音対策をしっかりと改善していただきたいです。
