Excellent little hostel in Otaru. It’s about a 10 minute walk from Miniami Otaru or a 20 minute walk from Otaru station. Lawson convenience store is just across the road, and a supermarket and public bathhouse are a 5 minute walk away. The compact single bed was comfortable and just like sleeping in a very large capsule.

Finest hotel ever
Unlike its old-looking appearance, the interior maintains cleanliness and interior design are better than most other 2~3 star hotel Although the bathroom is shared, the bathroom also clean and comfortable The location is also a 5-minute away from famous tourist attractions, and there is a convenience store right in front of it, so accessibility is superior To sum up the above, I think it's okay to decide to stay without any concern, whether it's a family travel or travel alone

とってもオススメです！！
全てがとてもおしゃれで、特に1階のフリースペースが居心地が良かったです。ここでのんびりしたくなりました。コロナの影響か、客数は少なくて静かなのがまた良かったです。朝食サービスが停止中なのが残念でしたが、キッチンは自由に使えて有難かったです。シャワースペースもとても綺麗で、シャンプーやボディーソープも置いてありました。バスタオルも部屋に置いてくれてました。息子と行きましたが、二人ともまた行きたいと思っています。ありがとうございました！

ロビーも部屋もシャワールームもとにかくかわいい！ シャワールームも清潔です。 ゲストハウスなのでアメニティ類は無いです。 夜寝る前にロビーで翌日の予定などを話し合ってましたが、オシャレな空間なので旅のワクワク感が高まりました。 最寄り駅は南小樽駅ですが、散策がてら商店街を通って小樽駅や運河の辺りまで歩いてもいいと思います。 一方、建物が木造で古いからか通路の声は完全に聞こえます。 神経質な人はうるさいかも知れません。 部屋に空調は無いですが、7月後半でも暑くはなかったです。
