Ishigaki Guesthouse HIVE

Convenient location for transport, very very clean. Helpful kind staff. Sleeping areas very comfortable excellent lock boxes for storing things. Immaculately clean. All guests kept the place tidy but staff would come through regularly to give it an extra wipe down etc.

The bed was nice and private, with my own outlet and fan, with enough space outside my bed where I could leave my backpack without bothering the other guests. The locker space was also very large so it was easy to store items. There's a washing machine and the toilets and showers were very clean! There's a roof deck to dry clothes as well so you don't need to use the dryer. The staff especially Kumi were so kind and chatty! And they even helped me get some bandaids and alcohol swabs when I injured myself while swimming.☺️

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Hive Ishigaki! The staff was incredibly friendly and always ready to help with great tips and recommendations. The location is excellent, with everything you need just a short walk away. The sleeping pods are spacious and provide plenty of privacy. One of my favorite spots was the rooftop terrace – it’s huge and even has yoga mats, which was such a nice touch! The hostel is very clean and has a warm, social atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. Noise levels were okay, and with earplugs, I slept very well. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend Hive Ishigaki to anyone looking for a relaxing yet vibrant place to stay on the island!

I stayed here for 2 nights. I felt the place Itself was fairly clean, well air-conditioned and friendly. The pods were realitivly private, comfortable and noise of people packing and moving was to be expected. Room wise, I was only bothered by the light comming over my pod but really it's a minor issue. For the bathrooms, again we'll layed out and there is a sighn saying if one is full too long just use the other one as in the other gender one I assume. The kitchen could have used a couple more stools and another cooking top but again it was well layed out with plenty of space to socalise. Getting here was like an adventure in it self. It is a little hard to find with just Google but as this is a regular issue there are lots of sights like bread crumbs leading the way. It is on the 3rd floor with my elevator so if you have lots of bags you uave been warned. I used both their rental bike and snorkel set in exchange for reviewing them. Snorkel: The snorkel set was okay. I could breath easily (as somone who has snorkel before). But I did have issues keeping the eye mask clear and not fogged up how ever importantly it did not leak. Rental Bike: The lady did warn me that the bike was old and not to go too far. I didn't have any issues and the bike has a built in lock Overall the accomodation was clean, the staff were helpful, air conditioning was good and over all a positive atmosphere. I would deffinatly stay again

The place is located very conveniently in the centre of the town, near the bus terminal. Staying there for 5 days made me realise the accommodation was clean and very well equipped (had everything you need on a daily basis). I really appreciated the kind and always helpful staff. They let you borrow a bike or scooter as well as snorkelling equipment. I would totally recommend it, in particular for solo travellers.
