The little dog in the hostel was cute and the cat. The little details of the place make it quite unique and funky. Comfy otherwise but maybe not gpod for the claustrophobics

“Excellent”

Cozy and relaxed. Not a party hostel but makes you feel like you’re at home

Shorter walk to hostel from Minami-Otaru Station than Otaru station | easier walk with backpack than with luggage | hot shower, towel/soap provided | solid WiFi | nice breakfast available (500-yen) | coordinated with host to drop-off backpack prior to check-in, greatly appreciated | credit card accepted on-site to pay for reservation |

It's a home away from home. The house pet HUG and Momo are cute. Homecooked breakfast is nice

This guesthouse is absolutely lovely. There are mangas everywhere (and one in english about Ainou!), cosy common spaces where it's really nice to hang out, great decoration... We feel a little at home. The host is adorable and the beds comfortable. One of the guesthouses I liked the most so far :)

“The loveliest hostel in Hokkaido”
09 Sep 2024
I booked at this hostel based on someone's recommendation from another hostel. I have spent nearly a year in Japan and this is one of my favourite hostels I have stayed in! I met up with my friend in Otaru and we both stayed in the female-only dorm. The location is great, and we were lucky to see some fireworks from the veranda outside. The entire environment is very cosy, there is a whole wall full of DVDs that are free to watch, so we watched a Ghibli film nearly every night we stayed. There's also a huge selection of books, manga and games too, with lots of cosy spaces to enjoy. The host and staff members were very helpful, friendly and kind. And of course they have a dog and cat so that is the cherry on top!

“Amazing experience in Otaru and nice breakfast! Recommended”
28 Aug 2024
I quite enjoyed my stay at this hostel. Even though you cannot open the window because of the insect concern, you will not feel warm or hot inside of the hostel or your dorm. There are enough fans available for summer days. The hostel is in a Japanese style standalone house, you will have a good experience of living in a Japanese home. Huge san and Momo san are very cute and friendly pet in this hostel. I love the breakfast provided in this hostel that are exceed of my expectation, I even feel it better than some hotels ;) The location of the hostel is also good if you arrived at JR 南小樽. It took around 10-13 mins by foot from the JR station to the hostel. The stuff in this hostel is also very friendly and helpful. I think I will stay here again if I travel to Otaru again.

“Typical no-frills dormitory option”
18 Jul 2024
- Staff was friendly and polite - You can get a fresh cup of homemade coffee in the morning for a small donation - Free towels and shampoo were provided - Plugs right next to the bed - Relatively close to the train station of Minami-Otaru - The dorm room has a fan
