Nice hostel in Otaru! Owners are friendly and willing to help out any questions you may have. No kerosene heaters required although there was a small one in my room that I used for a nightstand, not sure why it was there because there was also a wall mounted modern Hitachi ac/heater unit that was quiet and worked perfectly. This was my first hostel stay so the only thing I needed was a larger bath towel that was easily purchased a short walk away. Will be back!

정말 깨끗하고 아기자기한 숙소입니다. 조용한 주인은 무엇하나 부족할 것 없이 게스트를 위해 지원을 해주었습니다. 체크인 시 1층의 목욕탕 비용을 지불하고 목욕용품을 받다두었다가 저녁에 목욕을 했습니다. 꼭 하십시요. 오타루에 볼 것이 좀 더 많다면 이 숙소에 오래 머물고싶습니다.
