Very big room with nice balcony and table and chairs
Clean washrooms
Community lounge
Very close to train station
Bathroom in room out of order
The area around the hotel seems not very lively
Very high fees when checking in or out too late. They send you a message warning you about it creating an uneasy/stressful feeling, even if you did not come or leave too late.

Central location and large rooms, staff were really lovely
Quiet, it would have been nice if the bar/cafe/gym were open but may be due to COVID

The room was big. It was very quiet.
You need at least 2 futons on top of each other. To be comfortable

The staff manning the front desk was super friendly.
The general cleanliness was a little low. Also the bathrooms and showers were very far away from our room.

We really enjoyed our stay at the cosy Zen Hostel. The room was spacious, decorated in Japanese style and had a wonderful view over Yudanaka. The toilets and showers were clean at all times.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. They helped us book a private onsen and we were able to rent skis and ski clothes directly from them at the hostel. This was easy and cheap compared to other rentals. They also made sure that there was always a cosy fire burning in the fireplace in the common area when you came home from the cold.
Thank you very much for a great time!
