Fantasy stay of my dream! Lovely decorate, small and tidy room, very close to the station. The most convenient part is you can freely use the washing machine in the daytime, that’s really helpful along with my trip. The staffs are all so nice and friendly to us(also good at English, grateful🥹 )

The house was very spacious, it was probably a hostel with a lot of rooms before Covid19, as everything was accommodated for it. Very good location next to the Matsumoto Castle. The host was so super nice, he even gave us access to his private Cable TV to be able to watch the World Cup, as Argentina was playing the Finals! It was very important for me to watch the game, as I´m Argentinian.

All hostels in Matsumoto

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.

Brian and the staff made everything so the guest would feel at home! The shared spaces are very inviting. The kitchen, the showers, and the dorms are very clean and comfortable. The hostel is in a great location near the JR Station but also in a queit area near the river

Very friendly hostel, in a great location not too far from Matsumoto castle. Rooms are Japanese style, with lots of space in the dorms. I had a large suitcase with me and there was plenty of storage space for it beside my futon! Lovely staff as well, great vibe in the hostel overall.

The hostel is in a great location and so quiet. The staff are really helpful, but best of all you could feel the history of the place. We are a family of four (two boys aged 13 & 11) and all thought it was the best hostel we’ve stayed at - friendlier, more fun and better than many hotels. Would stay there happily again.
