The general atmosphere and facilities in common space was excellent. specially the shower and toilets were tidy and reliable. All the small corners from safety to convenience have been thoughtful. The distance wasn’t bad for walk, and frequent buses are running between Otaru downtown.

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!

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!

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.
