Close to the nice areas around the river and not a long walk from the station. The hostel also has two bikes that can be borrowed free of charge, and although unfortunately one of the bikes were broken, we were able to borrow bikes for free from the city - Nice! The interior of the hostel is super nice and cozy, and the hosts are very kind and always helpful. Only downsides were that it was quite cold in the house and the bar seemed to be closed (so we could not use our drink discount tickets) but it is also quite understandable as we were the only ones there our first night. Would stay again! ##### Mikael Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Tokyo Disney Celebration Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tokyo-Hotels-Tokyo-Disney-Celebration-Hotel.h21163232.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono](https://www.expedia.ca/Niseko-Hotels-Park-Hyatt-Niseko-Hanazono.h38527384.Hotel-Information) > > [Konansou](https://www.expedia.ca/Fujikawaguchiko-Hotels-Konansou.h9145049.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Chariot Hokutoshichisei 135°](https://www.expedia.ca/Awaji-Hotels-Grand-Chariot-Hokutoshichisei-135.h34745847.Hotel-Information) > > [Yumotokan](https://www.expedia.ca/Otsu-Hotels-Yumotokan.h7028149.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard By Marriott Kyoto Shijo Karasuma](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Kyoto-Shijo-Karasuma.h20518950.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton, Okinawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Okinawa-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h5117262.Hotel-Information) > > [Kawaguchiko Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Kawaguchiko-Hotel.h12991356.Hotel-Information) > > [ASO Farm Land](https://www.expedia.ca/Aso-Hotels-ASO-Farm-Land.h11868090.Hotel-Information) > > [Fuji Marriott Hotel Lake Yamanaka](https://www.expedia.ca/Yamanakako-Hotels-Fuji-Marriott-Hotel-Lake-Yamanaka.h17705474.Hotel-Information) > > [HOSHINOYA Okinawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Okinawa-Hotels-HOSHINOYA-Okinawa.h40226148.Hotel-Information) > > [Fuji View Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Fuji-View-Hotel.h2333483.Hotel-Information) > > [Rusutsu Resort Hotel & Convention](https://www.expedia.ca/Niseko-Hotels-Rusutsu-Resort-Hotel-Convention.h3948188.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Tokyo Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Tokyo-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Tokyo-Bay.h35893302.Hotel-Information) > > [Fuji Speedway Hotel - The Unbound Collection by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.ca/Oyama-Hotels-Fuji-Speedway-Hotel.h82927328.Hotel-Information) > > [Wakakusa no Yado Maruei Ryokan](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Wakakusa-No-Yado-Maruei-Ryokan.h6136631.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Clad](https://www.expedia.ca/Gotemba-Hotels-Hotel-Clad.h38381266.Hotel-Information) > > [Fujisan Onsen Bessho SASA](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Fujisan-Onsen-Bessho-SASA.h14626817.Hotel-Information) > > [Fujisan Onsen Hotel Kaneyamaen](https://www.expedia.ca/Fujiyoshida-Hotels-Fujisan-Onsen-Hotel-Kaneyamaen.h14626290.Hotel-Information) > > [Oriental Hotel Tokyo Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Tokyo-Hotels-Oriental-Hotel-Tokyo-Bay.h1041843.Hotel-Information) > > [Ooike Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Ooike-Hotel.h5620879.Hotel-Information) > > [La Vista Fuji Kawaguchiko](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-La-Vista-Fuji-Kawaguchiko.h15976788.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakeland Hotel Mizunosato](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Lakeland-Hotel-Mizunosato.h10608801.Hotel-Information) > > [Fufu Kawaguchiko](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-FUFU-KAWAGUCHIKO.h33760212.Hotel-Information) > > [Highland Resort Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Highland-Resort-Hotel-Spa.h990130.Hotel-Information) > > [Fuji Onsenji Yumedono](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Fuji-Onsenji-Yumedono.h9635420.Hotel-Information) > > [Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan](https://www.expedia.ca/Hayakawa-Hotels-Nishiyama-Onsen-Keiunkan.h37148164.Hotel-Information) > > [HOTEL MYSTAYS Fuji Onsen Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-HOTEL-MYSTAYS-Fuji-Onsen-Resort.h16114229.Hotel-Information) > > [Kasuitei Ohya](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Kasuitei-Ohya.h13002262.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yvr/calgary-to-vancouver)
