• weiwei (9/5): Great location and super wonderful staff - Location

• Aaqib (8/5): Decent budget stay in Kagoshima - Great budget hostel, with decent amenities. The owner was very nice and it was clean for the most part Crickety floor, climbing up 4 stairs
• Sami (8/5): -
• Junyoung (10/5): 토말 - 호스트님 엄청 친절해요! 이자카야에서 알바도 하시는데 엄청 맛있음 추천! 별실이 다다미방이라 좋음
• NAOYA (7/5): -
• Changmin (10/5): - 덴몬칸 시내와 거리도 멀지않고 주인분이 친절하십니다.

• mita (10/5): - 個室を利用させていただきました。布団敷きで広く使いやすかった。 特になし
• Cornelius (7/5): „What you pay for is what you get“ - Gute Lage; Möglichkeit zum Duschen; Aufenthaltsraum und Küche sowie Safe vorhanden Augenscheinlich kaum gelüfteter Schlafraum, sehr warm während der Nacht
• Ely (10/5): -
• Naomi (6/5): -
• Rohan (9/5): - Shoko San is an amazing host and she managed everything very well! The location of this hostel is really nice!
• Samuel (On The Move) (10/5): - Super nice and helpful owner. Arrived past midnight (with notice) but the owner waited to perform check-in. Central location to a JR train station, shopping, and main city viewpoint. Accommodations has a lot of character as a converted building. Owner helped me receive an online order and provided restaurant suggestions.
• Pauline (9/5): Super séjour dans un petit hostel avec beaucoup de caractère - Petit hostel, charmant et cosy. La gérante est super sumpa et disponible Il m’aurait manqué une petite lumière au niveau du lit sinon tout etait bien
• Caroline (8/5): - Le charme du style japonais et le respect des occupants par rapport au silence. Comme il s'agit d'un hostel, Les gens étaient plus sociables que dans d'autres structures et l'hôte était également très accueillante. J'ai passé un très bon séjour. L'hostel est vieux et assez fatigué, mais il reste bien fonctionnel. Considérer qu'il est au troisième étage d'un immeuble sans ascenseur, il faut donc monter les valises ou le sac.

• Corinne (10/5): Many thanks again for taking care of my bed request ! - Perfect location for visiting Kagoshima and Sakurashima island before taking the night ferry to Yakushima The host has been very nice to me, offering me the individual room for the same price as I could not get a below bed in the dormitory… so nice from her She also speaks a very good English and could help me a lot when I asked my questions! Furthermore the price is just perfect, of course you cannot expect a 4stars hotel for that price but everything was clean ! Nothing
• Hiroshi (7/5): 一期一会 - ２２時のチェクインにも、親切に対応していただきました。 ありがとうございます。 朝７時くらいから、ゲスト対応して欲しかったです。
• Martin (9/5): -
• KEISHI (8/5): コスパいいじゃん - 女将さんの接客がよかった。 ちょっと変わった性格の人が上のベッドにいた。少し気持ち悪くなった。
• Poe (9/5): Tomal is the perfect haven for backpackers passing through Kagoshima or even wanting to explore the city for a few days. - Tomal is a backpacker’s haven in Kagoshima. It’s comfortable, charming, and provides the necessary facilities for someone passing through. The staff was very friendly, and the whole place is filled with quirky features. On the 4th floor and no elevator?!?! Ha ha — I know it’s not the property’s fault, but if I have to write something I didn’t like, it was all the steps to get to the hostel.
• Sam (6/5): Acceptabel, maar vrij aftands - Vriendelijk onthaal. Het bed was goed. Kamer en badkamer voldoende ruim. Oud en versleten pand.
• William (10/5): It's feel like home - The staff is amazing, the location is near the ferry station and the city center.
• claudia (7/5): Great stay over in a non touristy area - Private house - sociable with travelers going to the island (if there are any), or the volcano island - coffee available Very simple
• ふくじ (10/5): - スタッフの対応 シャワーの水圧が弱くかんじました。
• nobuhiro (6/5): - 直前でも予約出来た トイレが一箇所のみ
• guomz (9/5): - 女主人很热情，房间虽然略显陈旧但很有氛围感 上铺没有拉帘
• Leon Franklin (8/5): -
• Lea (8/5): -
• Marilisa (6/5): Could be a nice place with some adjustments - The set up of the hostel makes it feel like a cosy guesthouse The place needs a glow up, a few repairs and a bit more care and it could be very nice
• Niklas (10/5): -
• Izumi (8/5): -
• Kyle (4/5): Uncomfortable, loud, couldn't sleep - The staff was great! We didn't interact much, but it was pleasant. I like the spirit of Hostel Tomal. I like that they're creatively using and breathing life into an old building. There are similar cool projects in the surrounding area--old buildings with cafes, art galleries, book stores, etc. This place is not quiet. It breaks my heart to write this--because the staff was great and I love the concept of this hostel--but I was very uncomfortable there. The most important part of an accommodation is sleep and I hardly slept at all. Being an old building, there isn't any soundproofing. Even with ear plugs, I was kept up by the chatter of guests in common spaces, the rumble and occasional roar of vehicles on the streets outside, and the rattle of the neighboring room's AC unit outside my window. Also, quite a bit of light streamed into my private room through the space between the sliding doors from the kitchen immediately outside (a kitchen light was left on all night, perhaps for safety because guests need to get up to walk to the toilet at night). And these weren't a big deal for me but I'll also mention that my private room door didn't have a lock and there was significant dust on the light fixtures in the bathroom. I'm glad that some people have a great stay at this hostel because it's a great concept and the staff is delightful, but I have to be honest about my experience. I booked this hostel because the reviews were so high and many reviews list the word "quiet." Being sensitive and a light sleeper, I thought the private room here would be perfect for me. But it wasn't. It was very unpleasant.
• Jonas (7/5): -
• Sonomi (6/5): -
• Meagan (5/5): - Good location. Cheap. Quirky building that definitely shows its age It is a condemned building and an electricans nightmare. If you are okay with unprotected power outlets and bare lightbulbs in the shower it's great.

• Magdalena (10/5): - Alles super!
• Archana (10/5): -
• Walter (10/5): Fantastico - Davvero eccezionale. Ovviamente bisogna ricordarsi che si tratta di un ostello, però nonostante ciò, penso sia stata una delle esperienze più autentiche e genuine che ho mai avuto in un ostello. Mi sono sentito accolto, la struttura è viva, è piena di personalità e sinceramente avrei tanto voluto rimanere per più tempo. E se la struttura è così è solo grazie a Shoko, gentilissima e super disponibile! Spero tanto di poter tornare presto a Kagoshima e quando ciò accadrà sicuramente tornerò qui. -
• Archana (10/5): -
• ChenYaH (8/5): - 住宿地點方便，很適合要來待一天的背包客 下次要去屋久島登山，可以來這邊待 被單有點味道，室內拖很舊
• Thierry (8/5): -
• Ayumi (6/5): -
• 中 (8/5): - チェックイン前、かなり早い時間に荷物だけを預かって頂きたくてお願いしたところ、気持ち良く受けて下さり、受け取りのための工夫もして下さいました。 このお値段ですので、良くないと言うのも気が引けるのですが、強いて挙げるなら、お手洗いの便座が温められないタイプで、ヒヤッとしたことぐらいです。
• CHIA YU (8/5): -
• WHHSIEH (9/5): -
• Carine (8/5): - Superbe auberge chaleureuse dans un style traditionnel. Accueil et service parfaits, cuisine bien équipée, emplacement proche du centre et du port, environ 15min de la gare. Les lits sont confortables mais un peu petits.
• Jiyong (10/5): -
• Alexandra (8/5): - L'accueil de Shoku et l'emplacement
• Anurag (10/5): 10/10, will come again! - A very cosy den close to the JR Kagoshimachuo railway station and also next to the tram station. Very friendly and a helpful hostess too. Will definitely visit again when I come back to Kagoshima!

• だーいー (10/5): - 2泊したのですが、とても快適に過ごせました。 とても寒い夜でしたが、毛布等もたくさん用意していただいていたので、気持ちよく寝れました。 早朝出発＆深夜帰宅の連続でご挨拶できずにすみませんでした。 また鹿児島に行く際には利用したいと思っております。ありがとうございました。 特になし。

• judy (9/5): Friendly, fun place to stay. - Quirky, cosy hostel on the fourth floor of an unremarkable building. The hostel has a large common area, kitchen, one shower room, two sinks and two toilets. The hostel is clean but the building is old. It is in an excellent location, being just steps away from a bus and tram stop and an easy 10 minute walk to the Yakushima ferry terminal. It is also an easy walk to the main entertainment area of Kagoshima. And it's excellent value. It was very easy to chat with other guests here. Would stay again. The building does have an elevator, but it doesn't work. Be prepared to carry your luggage to the fourth floor.

• mie (8/5): おもしろい宿でした！ - ビルの四階で他のフロアでブックカフェや大人の習い事教室があり、好奇心をくすぐられた！ 共有スペースに花が飾られていてとても素敵。 おかみさんが親切で、おすすめの飲食店など教えてくれた。 和の空間。個性的なリノベーションでおもしろかった。 ドミトリーでしたが、静かでよく眠れた。 バスタオルがどれを使うかわからなかった。 気にされる方は持参した方がよい。
• Dennis (9/5): Good place for a small amount of money - Considering the price it is a good hostel. The common area is nice and the owner very friendly. Of course you can’t expect perfectly modern facilities but everything was alright. Kitchen not very clean (but it was okay).
• Caroline (8/5): - Cute and simple hostel No personal lights for the beds
• Safia (10/5): - Chaleureux et mignon
• Guest (9/5): - Shoko is very nice and always provides good suggestion. The location is good.
• Yuuji (8/5): -
• Maria (7/5): Boas instalações. Ótimo custo benefício! - Anfitriã amigável, me recebeu mesmo eu chegando tarde da noite. Acomodação confortável. O lençol não era de algodão.
• Stefan (9/5): Mein Tipp! - Sehr gut ausgestattet. Von Waschmaschine + Trockner bis zur Küche mit Kochgelegenheit + Geschirr. Hilfsbereites, englischsprachiges Personal. Mit dem Buchungsvorgang auf einer japanischen Website wäre ich allein nicht zurecht gekommen. In der Küche viele Pfannen, aber kein Topf.
