The staff were friendly and nice. I had the pleasure to chat with some of them during my stay. The floor was kept really clean by the staff despite it being winter (lots of snow) when I stayed. I had a very comfortable stay at this hostel. I would definitely stay here again when I'm in Otaru!

Loved the vibe of the camping themed lobby as it felt very homey and was a comfortable place to relax. The location was great as it was only a 5 minute walk to the Otaru Canal. Staff were very friendly and facilities were clean. Would definitely recommend!

Overall is good, especially staff service and welcome drinks are impressive (Bartender allow us to choose a drink less than ¥600 each person from the menu). And they have some board games for guests to play. We also found there is some beautiful postcards on book rack, then they offer us some free postcards. Very happy stay and memorable experience!

Spent three wonderful days here, very cozy Japanese traditional house. The staff make me feel warm. What's interesting is that on Chinese New Year's Eve (it's also my birthday) I sat in the restaurant with the hostel boss I guess, I was eating my meal, he was using the computer, and it was quiet around the fire until late at night. He kindly helped me clean up my kitchen waste. I got a sticker at the front desk to put on my suitcase. All are unforgettable memories.

This stay truly warmed my heart! The staff were kind and attentive, making me feel right at home. When I accidentally left my passport at the guesthouse, they promptly kept it safe and patiently waited for my return three days later. I felt completely at ease knowing it was in their care. I’m so grateful for their thoughtfulness and kindness, which made me feel the warmth of family even when far from home — highly recommended!

The owner was so lovely and accommodating! On the morning we arrived, my friend got badly injured and had to go to the hospital. We were able to coordinate with the owner to check in early so my friend would be able to rest after seeing a doctor. She was really kind and assisted us in every way she could to make our stay comfortable - we really appreciated it!

The location was great, it was next to a busy road, although I couldn't hear it inside but apart from that, the area is really nice and calm and I liked going from and to Inazumikoen Station. The bed was also great, I could sleep very well and what was also nice was that it is forbidden to make an alarm, but you can enter your room number and desired wake-up time into a list and you will be woken up. Also, the owner and staff are really friendly! All in all, I would like to stay there again!

All hostels in Otaru

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.

Good location and walk by 10 minutes to arrive from Otaru JR station. Also close to channel and warehouse tourist areas. The reception staff is friendly and patience to introduce hostel facilities. Very nice to offer a welcome drink after check-in. The facilities are well equipped and the common area is large which makes me feel convenient and comfortable to stay. The bed is comfortable as well. Recommend for budgeted travelers to stay here when traveling to Otaru.

Probably the best hostel i’ve ever stayed at that i decided to write review for the first time. Super cosy lobby and spacious toilets (even bigger than hotel toilets in japan). The whole hostel was also spotlessly clean and organised which really impressed me comparing to other hostels i’ve stayed at.

I stayed in a dormitory room but I was surprised to find it wasn't a bunk bed but a narrow room with a curtain at one end. The high ceiling was very nice after staying in capsule or bunk beds for weeks. I liked the vibe of the place so much that I asked to extend my stay an extra night. Also the coin laundry is the cheapest I've seen.
