I came here for examination, I noticed that it seems like lots of the people there were all for examination as well. So Everyone just focus on each's targets. As for the hostel itself, this is my first time staying at share-room hotel, and I'm really surprised that the enviroment is perfect for short stay. Rooms are clean, bathrooms are clean. Thanks for all, I enjoyed this exprience so much!

Facilities and furnitures were all very clean. Saw them cleaning it daily which made my stay very comfortable. As not a lot of guests were around, I was able to make myself comfortable in the common area, utilising the space and quietness for reading or browsing the web.

All hostels in Otsu

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.
