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.

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!

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!

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!

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.
