I stayed here for two nights and it was a very cozy and nice guesthouse! The rooms were very clean, the bed was very comfortable, there was enough space behind the bed and even a shelf to put your belongings on, they had enough shower rooms and bathrooms so that you could always use one, the staff was friendly and they free offered rides to Otaru station every morning as it is hard to reach by foot- as you have to go over very steep streets, that's why I recommend taking a taxi for the first time, its only 500 yen and you really don't want to go all the steep hills up with a lot of luggage.

Good for a night stay if no other choice
Clean room with shared bathroom and toilet. Quite hard to find even with GPS. Additional JYP 500 for self-parking is not reasonable compares to other hotels or hostel with similar room rates that I stayed provide free self-parking and even with breakfast.

Cheap room for a night's stay!
Be sure that you inform how many guest are staying in the room. I got charged extra on that day of stay for a room that can fit 2 people but was only sold for 1 guest.

Nice little hostel
I stayed there for two nights. It's a pleasant stay. It is a 10mins walk from otaru station. It's pretty easy to locate, just follow google maps. The bedroom, toilet, bathroom and its surrounding is clean. They also provide breakfast for another 400 yen and coffee and tea for free. They have beer and some food sold there too with reasonable price. Overall it's good.

The uphill location could have been challenging as we were travelling by train and on foot, but our wonderful host gave us a ride downtown for dinner and gave us the info we needed for an easy, inexpensive taxi ride back. Then our host drove us to to the train station in the morning! The futon beds were too hard for Canadian sensibilities, and the upstairs neighbours thumped loudly, but the spaciousness, temperature, and kitchen and lounge facilities were much appreciated.

Nice Hostel, perfect for those with less luggage
It was a really nice place to stay, with friendly staff, a comfortable room and also pretty stable wifi. The only fault I can find would probably be the journey getting to the hostel, which as many mentioned is a little difficult due to the hilly slopes. Nonetheless, the hostel would be a perfect place to stay if you're on a budget and don't have too much luggage on you as it provides the most basic, comfortable accommodation when traveling around Otaru.

Quaint guesthouse
This guesthouse has great views of Otaru and is a short walk from the train station. The facilites are very clean. There are a few house rules which may annoy some people but if you are fine with a curfew then i recommend staying here. The owners and staff are friendly and have good information about the region.

Everything was very clean, spacious, and the hosts were friendly and helpful. The only problem I had was that the dormitory beds were wooden structures with a futon mattress that wasn't very thick, so my bed was hard and I had a difficult time getting comfortable. I would recommend that they offer an additional mattress for people who are used to softer Western-style mattresses and pillows. It was a little bit of an uphill climb to get there from the station, but the location was still convenient. I was glad they had some good signs out by the street to help find the place.

Simple, clean hostel. Will go again!
I cycled from Sapporo and arrived after dinner. The hostel is near the station (maybe 10 min walk but uphill) and tucked in a residential neighbourhood. Don't pick this place if you're looking for a party centre! Curfew is at 23:00. I chose to eat the set breakfast the next morning. It was traditional Japanese food and filling enough. The beds are simple futons, but I'm used to this and so I was comfortable. The bunk beds have curtains the stretch across the whole bed to give you privacy. The staff live in house and were kind and helpful.

很溫暖又便宜的民宿
1.從小樽站走到民宿約15分,且有1段大斜坡,下雪時下坡較滑易跌倒。 2.可在小樽車站門前搭計程車到民宿只要560元日幣,很方便。 3.民宿老板很熱情的介紹小樽好吃好玩的地方及餐廳,每日上午7:30-9:30每半小時即可免費載運客人到小樽車站。 4.房間為日式榻榻米,隔音較差,但暖氣很溫暖。
