I like everything about Otaru tap room! Despite having stayed only one night, me and my boyfriend liked the atmosphere very much and the staff was super cool with us giving a free drink from the hostel bar. The private room is standard size and very cozy, the bed is better than that of our house haha. The living room has a great space for cooking with all the kitchen utensils. They though in every little things, even the toilet has a great fragrance, and also some tampons in the women 🚺 toilet. The hostel is close to the Otaru canal and gives Otaru station, close to konbini and a pizzeria as well. Anyway, great location! I would recommend this hostel for everyone who need a stay in Otaru (which was the best city we visited in Hokkaido). It worth the price (was cheap at the time) but even if they make an adjustment in the future, it would still be worth it, my opinion.

We loved our stay at Guest House Ringo, the host was great with communication and the location was terrific. The only thing that might bother some people if you happen to be there in a heatwave, is that there is only a fan, no air conditioning in the rooms. We had a good stay and would rebook next time we visit!

All hostels in Otaru

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

Good location and walk by 10 minutes to arrive from Otaru JR station. Also close to channel and warehouse tourist areas. The reception staff is friendly and patience to introduce hostel facilities. Very nice to offer a welcome drink after check-in. The facilities are well equipped and the common area is large which makes me feel convenient and comfortable to stay. The bed is comfortable as well. Recommend for budgeted travelers to stay here when traveling to Otaru.

Probably the best hostel i’ve ever stayed at that i decided to write review for the first time. Super cosy lobby and spacious toilets (even bigger than hotel toilets in japan). The whole hostel was also spotlessly clean and organised which really impressed me comparing to other hostels i’ve stayed at.

I stayed in a dormitory room but I was surprised to find it wasn't a bunk bed but a narrow room with a curtain at one end. The high ceiling was very nice after staying in capsule or bunk beds for weeks. I liked the vibe of the place so much that I asked to extend my stay an extra night. Also the coin laundry is the cheapest I've seen.
