Nice little hostel to explore Otaru”

Here's a trick - I chanced upon this hostel when the better hostels in Sappopro were sold out during the peak winter season (Sapporo Snow Festival 2023), and it was a delight to be able to stay in reasonably close proximity to Sapporo in a very decently-priced hostel! It's clean, the shower room is spacious. But be warned, there are no lockers in this hostel though they do provide a tiny lock and key locker in the shower rooms.

・６Ｂｅｄの部屋に２人だけだったこともあり、快適に過ごすことができた。 ・ＧＯＴＯに参加していないのは残念でしたが．．．１泊￥２，１００だったので、・・・ ・今後、利用する人に参考情報を。 ＠３Ｆのフロント横のキッチンエリアはかなり充実している。鍋、皿、炊飯器とあり、自炊するならば問題無いと思う。 ＠レンタルサイクルは宿に無いので、近所のレンタサイクルを利用する必要がある。 ＠シャンプー、リンス、ボディシャンプーは備え付け。バスタオルは、￥１００でレンタル有り。 ＠部屋でちょっとした洗濯物等を引っ掛ける場所が無い（Ｂｅｄが箱を重ねた形になっているので、凹凸が無く、ハンガーを掛けられない）。 ＠貴重品等を入れるような鍵の掛かるロッカーも居室には無い（３Ｆにはあるが、部屋に欲しいところ）。 ＠２Ｆに宿泊したが、シャワールームは５つ、洗面スペースもかなり広い。

駅から徒歩10分未満で、一階にコンビニエンスストアがあり、観光スポットへも歩いていける好立地です。 ドミトリーの部屋でしたが、普通にきれいでした。 ただ暖房が調節出来ないようで、夜中にたいへん喉が渇きます。 2日目には濡れタオルをカーテンレールの上からかけて湿度調節しました。 また暗証番号式の扉を2枚通過しないと部屋に入れません。 セキュリティ面を考えればいいと思いますが、面倒だと感じる方もいるかも知れませんね。 すぐ近所にフリーピアノがあるようで、夜けっこう演奏が聞こえたりします。 神経質な方は無理だと思います。

とてもきれいで使いやすいので、三回目の利用です。 マイナス10℃で体感温度はもっと寒かったのですが、お部屋は暖かくてちょうどよかったです。シャワー室はちょっと寒かったですが…。 あと、いつもはベッド毎にカーテンがあるお部屋だったのですが、今回はカーテンがなかったので、プライベートが見えてしまうので、付けてほしいです。 また、シーツやタオルをどこに片付けたらよいかの記載がほしいのと、鍵はないのに、鍵の書いた紙と鍵を戻してくださいと書いてあってたので、ちょっと焦りました。 でも、鍵の明け方さえわかれば、その他は不自由なくとても快適です。
