La Union

The staff here were extremely welcoming and understanding, and the hotel itself was very good value. I had a bed in the mixed dorm (4 beds) and it was very accommodating. My bed had a heated blanket which, while I didn't require it, was still a lovely option to have. The toilets, bathroom and bedroom were clean and well organised, and there was enough space for my bags. I am very grateful to the reception staff for allowing me to leave my bag for a few hours while I went to a temple on the edge of the city, and upon my return they were even curious about my visit; the staff seemed invested in their guests and really go the extra mile. :)

I booked the female dorm for one night. La Union is well located - close to the station and with many shops and bars nearby. The staff is really friendly and also proficient in English. I even forgot my hand towel in my room the morning I checked out but they were so kind and placed it on my luggage in the locker (you can store your luggage in a locker before check-in or after check-out). Everything was also really clean and comfortable. I enjoyed my stay!

Good stuff: - The staff are nice, Atsuki-san (I hope I didn’t misremember his name) speaks English and was very welcoming. - A lot of facilities are available including washing machine, hair dryer and straightener, ear plugs, towels, lotion for UV protection and a bed that can heat up for the cold nights. - The location is relatively well let at night and it’s in a market with a coffee shop beside it and a really good tie restaurant less than a minute walk away. It’s about 20 min to walk to Fukushima station and the path is well let at night. The location is quiet but there are bars around so you may encounter some drunk people at night.

The location is perfect. Close to the station and right in the middle of many Izakaya and Bar. The owner was very nice and helpful. Breakfast is incredible! The French toast was perhaps the best I ever had and the coffee and soup were super tasty as well.

Definitely one of the best hostels I've stayed in. Very close to Fukushima Station and has lots of bars and restaurants in the surrounding area. The staff are really friendly and will help you with anything you need, whether it's planning a day trip or travel. They also have E-Bikes for rental at 3000 Yen per day. The beds are super comfortable and also have heated sheets which is an extra treat. I would definitely stay here again next time I'm in Fukushima.
