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.

Maybe the pillow can be softer and more comfortable, it dents in after sleeping and stays in that shape.

the room was kept very warm, beds were comfy, and the overall layout of the 4 bed room worked very well for 3 people. the staff were very helpful and had great customer service. the location is also great, walking from otaru station was very easy even with snow and there is a Lawson directly below as well as many restaurant options for food.

there is no place to refrigerate your food inside the room, but the 3rd floor kitchen is available for that. if you need to store a lot of ingredients for an extended period of time it may become a bit complicated though, since the fridge is used by everyone. shouldn't be an issue as long as you travel light^^

The location of the place was very convenient. The was a convenience store next door along with a small street of shops and restaurants. It was also a short walk from the station, the canals, and other shops.

It would have been nice if they provided earplugs. I noticed a couple of people who stayed during my time there was a little noise at night. So, it was hard for me to go to bed.

The lobby has a really cute camping vibe :)

We booked two beds in a mixed dorm so we could be together, but they gave us one bed in a male-only room and one in a female-only room, so my partner and I had to stay in different rooms :( My room was empty apart from me, and there seemed to be a few empty rooms so I’m not sure why we couldn’t be together, but apart from that the stay was perfect.

Well managed hostel. Big communial area. Clean and big shower area. Cheap laundry and direr.

Well.. if I have to say, I arrived before noon and tried to keep my luggage before check-in time but there was no way to enter since all the stairs and elevator was locked. No staff before 12. But it is understandable. They save money in that way to provide cheaper accomodation. I satyed here less than 2500yen even just a day before the Sapporo Snow Festival when all the hostels and hotels riased their prices doulble.

Our kids love the bunk beds experience so much. The facilities were very clean. The security was very good. Lawson was just next door.

The elevator doesn’t operate from 9 P.M. to 12 P.M. of the next day; if you have big luggages then it’s not going to be very convenient lugging it down four flights of stairs (given that you stay at the 4th floor). The hot water didn’t flow too well in the shower room, the sink even less so; some taps didn’t have hot water at all.

Not far from station. Old ladies walkable length. Easy to find. Wide room. Toilet, shower room, washing machine, dryer are very good. Unexpectedly cleanliness is superb. Good security with code lock.

If Lobby is more tidy, it will be perfect. (Guest’s fault)

The location was great. Just a few street from the Otaru Train Station. Definitely will stay again if come to Otaru as it was value for money.

Too many of restriction and rules. Need to spend time to read the rules during check in but so far it good to have it.

For a wanderer, it was a really nice place that had all I needed. The shower rooms and toilet were complete with everything, and were very clean. The receptionist and helper were very nice even tho I came so late and had a lot of needs. It’s really near the Otaru station and the Otaru canal, too!

Close to the bus station, good kitchen and big chill area. It was pretty clean ! Good wifi !

Sounds like a hostel without any soul...pretty sad ! The staff itself was pretty indifferent
