Otaru Tap Room & Hostel

Staff was super friendly and the bed was comfy; the living room was very spacious and had many levels, so everyone could mind its own business. Good value place, and great location overall !

A locker system addition would be cool

The staffs are very nice and helpful. Location is good, on a shopping street.

The rustic charm and quiet location within easy walking distance of the canal. Comfortable bed, good shower, nice common area. Free drink on welcome. Everything that you need for a short stay.

Our room had a very strong musty smell when entering, the kind of smell that causes you to feel sick / worry about becoming sick from it. The window couldn’t open. We put a strong air freshener in the room and woke up fine, but the owner does need to look at the underlying reason.

Clean premises, location is not ideal, quite a distance to everywhere but for the price is still reasonable.

The operators seem not staying in the hostel, some of their guests are terrible. Both of my days encounter the other guests playing or drunk, whole body heavily banged on my room door, heavy steps noise all night till 1-2am due to the timber flooring. The room door cannot be locked, I got shock up a few times worrying someone opening our room door. 8am, someone start practicing his guitar. I don't mind if there are some nice melodies in early morning but NOT PRACTISING!!!! Unfortunately, unable to sleep well in this hostel, tatami abit flatten, someone always bang on the room door in 1-2am, and wake up by the noisy guitar at 8am.....
