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 ### 8/10 Good #### Rie Nov 3, 2022 ##### Rie ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fanglan Nov 1, 2022 ##### Fanglan Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### ヒトミ Aug 24, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service ##### ヒトミ Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Aug 18, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Moe Jul 22, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Moe Stayed 1 night in Jul 2021 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [HOSHINOYA Okinawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Okinawa-Hotels-HOSHINOYA-Okinawa.h40226148.Hotel-Information) > > [Southern Beach Hotel & Resort OKINAWA](https://www.expedia.ca/Okinawa-Hotels-Southern-Beach-Hotel-Resort-OKINAWA.h5250598.Hotel-Information) > > [Fuji Onsenji Yumedono](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Fuji-Onsenji-Yumedono.h9635420.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Tokyo Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Tokyo-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Tokyo-Bay.h35893302.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lake View Toya Nonokaze Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Niseko-Hotels-The-Lake-View-Toya-Nonokaze-Resort.h16360038.Hotel-Information) > > [Kasuitei Ohya](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Kasuitei-Ohya.h13002262.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Karuizawa Cross](https://www.expedia.ca/Karuizawa-Hotels-Hotel-Karuizawa-Cross.h55600775.Hotel-Information) > > [Wakakusa no Yado Maruei Ryokan](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Wakakusa-No-Yado-Maruei-Ryokan.h6136631.Hotel-Information) > > [Wakoshi Tobu Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Saitama-Hotels-Wakoshi-Tobu-Hotel.h40135307.Hotel-Information) > > [Highland Resort Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Highland-Resort-Hotel-Spa.h990130.Hotel-Information) > > [Beppu SUGINOI HOTEL](https://www.expedia.ca/Oita-Hotels-Suginoi-Hotel.h2897957.Hotel-Information) > > [Ooike Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Ooike-Hotel.h5620879.Hotel-Information) > > [HOTEL MYSTAYS Fuji Onsen Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-HOTEL-MYSTAYS-Fuji-Onsen-Resort.h16114229.Hotel-Information) > > [Karuizawa Hotel PAIPU NO KEMURI](https://www.expedia.ca/Karuizawa-Hotels-Karuizawa-Hotel-PAIPU-NO-KEMURI.h16267869.Hotel-Information) > > [Kawaguchiko Station Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Kawaguchiko-Station-Inn.h15066351.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakeland Hotel Mizunosato](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Lakeland-Hotel-Mizunosato.h10608801.Hotel-Information) > > [Fujisan Onsen Bessho SASA](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Fujisan-Onsen-Bessho-SASA.h14626817.Hotel-Information) > > [HaoSTAY](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-HAOSTAY.h42541370.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Route-Inn Court Karuizawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Karuizawa-Hotels-Hotel-Route-Inn-Court-Karuizawa.h4625474.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel WWJ Ina](https://www.expedia.ca/Ina-Hotels-OYO-44684-WWJ.h44815658.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton, Okinawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Okinawa-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h5117262.Hotel-Information) > > [La Vista Hotel - Stay on the Slopes](https://www.expedia.ca/Nagano-Hotels-La-Vista-Hotel-Stay-On-The-Slopes.h21852624.Hotel-Information) > > [Fufu Kawaguchiko](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-FUFU-KAWAGUCHIKO.h33760212.Hotel-Information) > > [The Busena Terrace](https://www.expedia.ca/Okinawa-Hotels-The-Busena-Terrace.h200973.Hotel-Information) > > [Fuji View Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Fuji-View-Hotel.h2333483.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Green Plaza Hakuba](https://www.expedia.ca/Nagano-Hotels-Hotel-Green-Plaza-Hakuba.h5271776.Hotel-Information) > > [Wafu Pension MIYAZAWA](https://www.expedia.ca/Nagano-Hotels-Wafu-Pension-MIYAZAWA.h16164480.Hotel-Information) > > [La Vista Fuji Kawaguchiko](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-La-Vista-Fuji-Kawaguchiko.h15976788.Hotel-Information) > > [Matsubaya Guesthouse - Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Omachi-Hotels-Matsubaya-Guesthouse.h103436614.Hotel-Information)
