Originally a 34 year old office building, the architects transformed it into a contemporary hostel and lounge that features a variety of accommodation options.

Upon entering, you are greeted by a bright neon sign (typical to the area), followed by the bar and lounge area, both of which have been inspired by a railway terminal.

“By adopting the concept of ‘The Travellers Hub’, we aim to allow guests to find new enjoyment and make connections with each other at our hostel while experiencing Japanese traditions and culture” says UDS.
