The owner is super friendly and speaks good English. She’s super helpful with ski rental and bus information. She even offer to drop me somewhere near by. Place is a bit old. Floors are wood and makes a bit of noise. But the place is clean and offers soap shampoo toothpaste etc. offers a simple continental breakfast. It’s near Hakuba station if your using that for transport. It’s like staying at a relatives house or college dorm with a house mother. You eat in a common area and dinning room. Everyone washes their own dishes.

Location is convenient for train but the shuttle bus does not always stop at the near by station. They turn off the heat to the rooms during the day and you have to ask to have it turned back on. We were freezing after skiing for a good hour. The shower maxes out at below optimal temperature. The bathroom was dirty with pink mould in the shower and cobwebs in the corner of the room. The carpet was gross, and bedside lights did not work. You must bring your gear into your room if you want it to dry out overnight. The breakfast is bread coffee and cornflakes. The final night the bed frame collapsed and we had to fix it. The place seems run down and tired. The female owner speaks English and is lovely.

The best thing about West Coast Inn are the owners who are very kind and helpful. The accommodation is hostel style, basic but with everything you need. The room was warm and cosy. The breakfast simple but enough, with decent coffee a bonus.

The host is very friendly.She took very good care of us during our stay.The hotel is very close to JR station. Highly recommended!!

This is honestly one of the best places I've ever stayed. The host is amazing and incredibly friendly. The room was really cozy and clean. The included breakfast was a lifesaver! There are timetables and phone numbers available for the various buses and taxis that can take you to the different resorts and stores for snow sports equipment rental. All in all it was a great experience. Would stay there again any time!

The couple who run the hotel are welcoming, kind, and helpful. I would definitely book again.

Hostel looks old but near Hakuba Station.Host very friendly and have easy breakfast.

The host was good to talk to and provided us simple vegetarian breakfast.But the house was not as good as in the pcitures. The room was not at all ventilated and the AC was not working at all. Even one of the 2 fans provided was not functional. We spent a restless hot night sweating .we tried to call the host twice but she was not available . Even though bit cheaper it was not value for money and i will not recommend this place.
