My Place

My Place is unquestionably the best hostel in Naha. It’s my third time choosing to stay here between side trips to surrounding islands, I love it here, and wouldn’t stay any place else! The staff is fabulously kind, warm, caring, and intent on making the guests experience on Okinawa the best it can be. They are extremely helpful with travel details and recommendations, and helping in any way possible to get oriented in Japan. I find where the staff is amazing, so are the guests, which is certainly true for My Place. I am so grateful to have landed here, it feels like home. Additionally, they have an entire business center work space set up for the digital nomad that is impressive

This is a clean, economical place to stay, and particularly convenient for guests planning to use the nearby ferries for various excursions. However, other travelers should note that My Place can seem a bit isolated, particularly on winter nights when its immediate area can seem desolate. Though a 24-hour convenience store is down the road, the facility did not feel particularly close to restaurants, other retail locations, metro stops, etc. The hostel includes two buildings next to each other. A smaller one features space for check-in, communal cooking and dining, laundry equipment, vending machines, and workspaces -- including free wifi. The larger three-story building houses the actual rooms and bathing facilities, but no elevators. This separation of buildings partly reinforces the feeling of isolation on winter nights, particularly since the check-in desk may not be staffed after certain hours.

Very friendly hosts who are multilingual, my Japanese isn't very good but the staff was able to communicate in English and help me find tickets that I ordered online. Our plane was also late coming in but we were able to arrange self check-in for when we arrived and sorted out the details in the morning. Thank you again!

Good location near the ferry terminal and main road for bus stops. Check in easy and smooth. Super friendly and helpful staff. Co-working space is bright and spacious. Common lounge area is open 24h. Coin operated washers and dryers available. Rooms clean and tidy.

Really great staff and clean facility. 6 bed room is cozy but has its own private capsule like beds! The rooms are well air conditioned and the showers are hot! They have great deals offered to guests on marine and island activities! Olivier and Melissa were a really great help getting us taken care of.

Easy to find, easy check-in and nice clean facilities with shared bathroom, but also bathroom on every room. Great shared space and a kitchen with the possibility to cook your own meal. Some noise from the road, but unevitable when in the city. Located very near the docks with ferry to Kumejima Island but also daytrip-ferries.
