A very homely, cosy place. The living area was a lovely area to sit, relax and recover during the harsh winter. I stayed in a 4-bed mixed room and the bed compartmnets were great value, and there was designated hangers to put up my coat and damp trousers when going to sleep. The showers were clean and well-maintained, and the owners were really friendly. This was very, very good value on the whole and I was very happy to stay there.

The light in my bed compartment was very weak and insufficient to read, so sometimes I opted to use my smartphone's torch instead. Likewise, there was not that much room in the shared mixed dorm for bags, so the corridors were quite full. This did not detract from my overall experience, however.

I loved our stay here albeit farther from Otaru station than what I had expected. The two lovely ladies were so friendly and accommodating. They even helped us book a taxi when we left the place. The room we stayed in has enough space for 3 people with 3 luggage.

The room was a bit dusty here and there, I hope this can be improved.

The owner was very nice and kind. I loved the sento (hot spring) downstairs! If you pay 300円, you can use it with free shampoo and towel. If I visit Otaru again, I will definitely stay here again!:)

Nothing

The location was very good, you could get everywhere pretty much in couple of minutes, there is also beautiful catholic church nearby for those they are catholics. Spa is just 300yen each and the receptionist was the most nice, kind, friendly, smiling and cute we ever experienced. There is also a two guitar in the share living room, can make it nice evening too.

For those money? Everything was great!

Not too far from the station, had an onsen also in the building, and plenty of free space! Felt very homey.

The hostel is on the 2nd floor of the building, the first floor is taken by a Sento (Japanese bath house). As a guest you can use the Sento at a discounted price.

Everything

Friendly, kind staff! 20-30mins walk away from city central. You can use the public bath(sentō) attached to the hostel once by 11pm.

It would be nice if there was a window in the dormitory room.

The stuff are friendly and helpful. The rooms and common area are clean.

Very sincere old lady host
