Location + the person's name at the reception is Mr. Oytun was GREAT! He fulfilled the requests of me and all other guests with a performance beyond expectations. He is a dynamic employee who is brilliant in terms of customer relations. Customer loyalty is the intention of continuing the relationship. It was a strong driver of trust and loyalty. Hope to see Mr. Oytun , in areas that will contribute more to your brand value. And see you next time!

I had an amazing stay at Guesthouse Sigh! The location is excellent—it’s close to the train station, making it super convenient—and the surrounding area is vibrant and fun to explore. Everything is brand new, and the common room is fantastic with a fully equipped kitchen. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great place to stay.

All hostels in Otsu

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.
