Set in Wakayama and with Takanoji Temple reachable within 200 metres, Charlie's Bed offers concierge services, non-smoking rooms, a shared lounge, free WiFi throughout the property and a terrace. Boasting a bar, the hostel is close to several noted attractions, around 1.8 km from Oka Park, 1.7 km from Wakayama History Museum and 1.8 km from Wakayama City Museum. Guests can have a drink at the snack bar.

Clean, modern and every item in the room was well thought out. Most importantly the human touch the hosts displayed. Makes you feel at home. Very helpful people.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The hospitality of the host and the cleanliness made the stay a comfortable one. The hostel was a home for some decades, that tells by the interior structural set up but the host has turned it into comfortable hostel rooms and mindfully add quite some decorations along the hallways, public facilities and at least the big room we stayed. These give colours to it overall in a nice and decent way.

    We liked the overall atmosphere and facilities of the hostel. Also, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the spacious lounge and lovely bar on the first floor. The homemade Inca Cola available at the bar was especially delicious! In the kitchen, there’s complimentary Hojicha tea and coffee. I expected it to be cheaper brands or instant, which would be fine, but instead the tea was nice quality loose-leaf, and the coffee was whole beans that you can grind in an electric coffee grinder for a really fresh cup of coffee.

    A small hostel, run by people who clearly love what they do. Everything was thought of; flyers in the room for every imaginable activity, bathrooms and kitchen equipped with everything one could need, and the owners are helpful and happy to answer any question

    The communal feeling. There is a shared kitchen and small dining area with musical instruments. Meeting your hostel neighbours is a lot cosier, when someone is jamming. There is also a shared workspace and a bar. Unfortunately, we did not have enough time to fully appreciate the facilities.
