5/5
I really enjoyed the Japanese style room. It was clean and comfortable and I was able to have a very good sleep. I was travelling on my own, but there were spare futons in the wardrobe and the room can accommodate three people. The bathroom/showers were modern and clean. There was also a shared living room and kitchen area with TV and basic kitchen essentials, although I didn't use these facilities. The landlady is very friendly and speaks good English.The location is a bit out of the way when needing to go to Otaru Canal and the tourist areas, but it's fine if you like walking. You can also walk a bit and take the train from Minami-Otaru to Otaru to get into the more central part of the city.

Everything was fantastic except the stair leading to the hostel if you have big and heavy luggage. You need to drag luggage up to level 3 on a rather steep stairs.

Location ☆☆☆☆Room ☆〜☆☆☆?Stairs ☆☆ (The stairs are wide, but the third floor is difficult)Toilet ☆☆☆☆ (unisex)Washroom ☆☆☆☆ (wide washstand)Shower ☆☆☆ (unisex)Parking lot ☆☆☆ (Good to have, but strange structure)Rooms with a view are extremely rare structures. If you are staying with one or two people, you may end up choosing a room with bunk beds in a very small room.I stayed in a small room that was only 2.5 meters wide and 4.5 meters long.It was extremely small.Going up and down the stairs from the top of the bunk bed is dangerous in the dark.I was in a bunk bed in a small room, and the walls felt so oppressive that I wondered, ``Is this what a prison would be like?''With the discounted rate, it cost about 8,500 yen for two people, so it was quite expensive.This room was good for around 2800 yen per person.Even though the other rooms are expensive, I think 3500 yen per person is a reasonable price.There seems to be a parking lot, but the nearby coin parking is also cheap, so even if you deduct that amount, the accommodation cost was relatively high this time.To get to my room, I entered the door at the top of the stairs by entering the PIN code and entering the entrance, where I took off my shoes and changed into slippers, but I was worried that my shoes would be stolen, so I thought this was a good idea.For some reason, the side room in the middle of the hallway is written in Chinese? There is a row of toilets with only the words "only" written on them, a row of shower rooms next to them, and a row of sinks across from the toilets.Some people have written about foreigners making noise late at night in the hallway where the TV and sofa are located, but when I was there, Japanese bastards were making noise until late at night.Even so, he went to bed before midnight, so I was able to sleep as well, but there is no direct phone line to the manager, so I'm worried that I (and other guests) will get in trouble with the other party. I don't think it's a good idea for an accommodation facility to be able to stop these people unless they are prepared to take them down.This is a guest gacha.There is heating, so it may not be cold in winter.There didn't seem to be any air conditioning, and there were no screens on the windows.I don't know if there are any rooms where you can see the ocean from the window, but I thought you could at least see it from the road, but all I could see was the gap between the dirty buildings, and there were no screens in that damp direction, so it was really cool in the middle of summer. I wonder what it is! ? I thought.If it costs less than 3,500 yen per person, I think it's worth it since it's very close to the bar district.If you want to experience the guest gacha, please check it out!

I understood that this can't be helped in a hotel with such a shared space, but I couldn't sleep because of the sounds of foreign guests chatting in the living room late at night, the sound of doors slamming violently, and footsteps. I regretted it.There is no air conditioning, so the upper bunk beds are hot and uncomfortable due to the lack of wind from the fan.The location is good with plenty of stores. The room itself was clean.I don't think it's suitable for people who want to spend a quiet and relaxing time.

It takes about 15 minutes to walk to Sakaimachi, which is probably a tourist spot in Otaru. It's up and down the hill, so there's more to it than you can see on the map. The rooms are clean and there are about 3 shared showers and toilets, so you don't have to wait to use them. The downside is that there is no air conditioner.

4/5
Approximately 6,000 yen for 2 people If you can stay for 3,000 yen per person, the room is spacious and clean, and it's a hidden spot that you can't imagine from the outside.Toothbrushes and towels are providedEasy to use with 3 toilets and 3 showersI also liked that the shampoo and body soap lathered easily.The downside is that there is no bath mat, which makes it a little troublesome after showering.The Tomatoku Otaru coupon is also written on the website as 2,000 yen per person, but it was 2,000 yen per room, and although I was disappointed in that, I was able to sleep well overall, so I gave it 4 stars.
