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.

HIVE is an inexpensive but clean, quiet and comfortable guesthouse a short walk from Ishigaki port. The entrance to the accomodation, a little tricky to find for first time visitors, can be found up a few flights of steps at the end of an alleyway - but don't be put off by this!! :) Staff are very helpful and friendly, and all the usual shared facilities you would expect are well maintained and very clean. For those seeking a budget / backpackers option in the heart of Ishigaki, HIVE is well worth a look.

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!

The location close to the port was great and easy to get to local islands as well as the airport via bus. There are lots of restaurants and bars in the neighbourhood. The hostels shared facilities are clean and the showers are lovely and hot. Each bed comes with a fan which was very nice to use! There are lots of recommendations of what to do around the island either from staff or from signs and maps around the hostel.

The location, the staff, the calm and the respect. The possibility to rent materials directly there for a good price and sometimes for free. The staff was very helpful and kind.

The guesthouse is 5 minutes from the bus station and 7 minutes from the ferry terminal. It is really central. You can get anywhere from the bus station. the staff very friendly. The guests chat and laugh together in the kitchen. You quickly come into contact with other guests and are out and about together in the evenings.The guesthouse itself is an attraction. If you're traveling alone and looking for a connection, I can only recommend HIVE.

It is really well maintained with lots of effort put to make guests comfortable. Plenty of free stuff in the kitchen, nice and clean bathroom, bicycles/snorkelling kit to rent for very cheap!!! I booked a female dorm and best decision ever, it's enclosed and then you get your own little cabin which provides nice privacy. The staff is super lovely and willing to help you, with great recs for activities/food. Thanks guys!

I think the strong point of Hive is the staff. They are kind and ready to help, nonetheless the rules, needed for a pleasant stay, in this guesthouse are respected. I even strongly recommend a long permanence in this structure. Another point of excellence is the cleaning: toilette, shower, kitchen, pavements are spotless

Cozy little wooden pods for sleeping. I was worried it would be too stuffy, but it wasn't, and they provide a little fan, too. Staff (Kumi) was friendly and helpful. Kitchen/common area is large, bright, and clean with books and games.
