This is my second time to stay in Couch Potato Hostel. First of all, the location is very convenient and the free bicycle is available so that I can explore Matsumoto more freely. In addition, the hosts are fluent in English and patient in helping visitors, making it feel like a second home. The environment of the accommodation is traditional Japanese architecture, which is a rare opportunity to experience. Therefore, I highly recommend it:)

Beautiful small hostel in matsumoto. It is kind of a mix between a traditional Japanese house and a hostel, so the beds are futons directly on the ground. However they are very comfortable. The staff was very friendly and they also have some nice booklets with information about surrounding restaurants and attractions. There is also a nice common room and a kitchen. Highly recommend.

便利な立地で自転車も貸してくれるので、松本観光にはとても便利。宿の方も親切です。 古い建物をリノベ しているので、音漏れなどが気になる方は、ゲストハウスということである程度の理解は必要。 古いビジネスホテルより水回りはきれいだし、部屋が埃っぽい、設備が古いなどもなく快適です♪

Highlight of my trip!”

It gave a home-away-home feeling for my travel. You will stay in a traditional Japanese-style accommodation with great ambiance. The host is so friendly and helpful, which gave me tons of recommendation in travel and restaurant. I love the common area where you can see in their profile. After taking the shower, grab a bear and clear your mind after a day-long hiking, it is so peaceful!
