It was comfortable, the people working there where nice and there is a lot of equipment available to use. Even if it was a dormitory with a lot of people, there were no sounds that woke me up that night and it was a good price, so I recommend for those who want an affordable place to stay! It is also near enough of the station to go to the onsen for those who are interested to go there!

My friend bring his luggage, but there wasnt any big locker to keep it safe, so we had to trust that no one would have tried to steal it. Japan is generally safe, so we were not really worried. I bring my backpack for the travel and put it on hook hanger in the bed, so it was fine for me.

The location is perfect if you don't have a car but want to go on small day trips around the area using public transportation: close to Noboribetsu JR station, just 12mins by bus to get to Nonoribetsu Onsen (Hell Valley), you can also take a shuttle bus for Chitose Airport nearby. Delicious breakfast included, one of the best coffe we had in Japan! I highly suggest buying their soft ice-cream, it's superb.

There's no air conditioning so especially in the dorm it could get really warm at night, but they have fans if needed.

Great location, situated in between the train station and express buses stop to other cities. The staff were really friendly and helpful.

The shower water doesn't stay warm and kept switching between scalding hot water or turning cold, which is rather inconvenient in winter season. Also, just a heads up that the city itself is very quiet during the winter season and since a lot of trails around Hell's Valley are closed for safety reasons, there might not be much to do.

The staff were very kind, and were prompt with responding on the Bookings message app. The facilities were clean, and the showers had all the amenities. Despite being hostel, it was very quiet. The lounge space was nice as well, with lots of tables to sit at and eat with music playing. Also a kitchen with cooking utensils and dishware. There were also hangers and a drying line in the beds so you could hang your towel up in your own space. Free parking too!

The curtains on the bed didn't close all the way, so the light from outside came in. The location was a bit inconvenient if you don't have a car, as it's far away from all the touristy places. There were also no restaurants in the area to eat dinner at, which was a shame.

Very friendly hostel. It was great to meet fellow tourists in Japan. Good local beer for sale in the common room. Nice clean kitchen. Comfortable bunk beds, but don't expect a lot of privacy. Wifi is strong signal. The staff are friendly and helpful if you take the initiative. Less than 5 minute walk from the train station. Bus stop to Noboribetsu Onsen area very close by, although I walked it (about 40 minutes)- it was a nice hike, only about half of it was on a path along the main road. The hiking in the onsen area is great and buying a visitor pass to the hotel onsen there is fabulous. The yakitori place close by is very good, but have the hostel make a reservation, because you might get turned away without one.

The town of Noboribetsu is dead. A lot of closed empty buildings. The yakitori place is the only restaurant. There is a Coop grocery store to buy everything you need (5 minutes walk away) , and a 7-11 about a 10 minute walk away for early morning coffee. The hostel sells ice cream to customers, and the machine lets out the most annoying high pitched screech, that is really my only complaint.

We enjoyed our stay here very much: This hostel was very clean, the beds were comfortable and spacious, the staff is helpful and friendly, the breakfast is satisfying (müsli, cereals, toast and coffee), the common space is comfortable and the kitchen is well-equipped. The location is also very convenient for hiking trips and there are convenient stores and supermarkets nearby. Bonus point: there is a free bike rental.

A bit more storage room for the luggage would be great, but we managed well anyway.

Clean, well organized, great location for the station (and for the bus to take the 15 minute bus ride to the town and Hell’s Valley). Free breakfast was simple (cereal, toast, coffee) but highly appreciated. Dorm beds are comfortable, generously sized and even afford decent privacy.

This is a hostel, not (in UK terminology at least) a guest house. Beds are in dorms, one mixed and one female. I thought thought we had booked a room, but there are none. As a simple hostel however, it’s excellent.

Very warm, kind and helpful staff, free breakfast and a discount coupon for ice cream (shame that I’ve forgotten to use it!) The bed was clean and everyone have had to remove their shoes before entering the sleeping and shower area, so it was nice.

I didn’t like the phone charging place so much, feel like it could be a bit lower to make it convenient to charge and use the phone at the same time. It was also a tad bit pricey, but the nice breakfast compensated it in my opinion ;)

it is a very short and manageable walk to the train station which remains in view from the sidewalk outside the guest house. There’s a supermarket also within walking distance stocking stuff that one can then cook in the well equipped and compact kitchen and has a large common area. Staff is friendly and can make recommendations to the hot spring. Though still a bus ride to the hell valley, it is still the most affordable place to stay in the area.

With most accommodations having water closets with built in bidet, this is one of the rare ones that do not have a washlet.

Convenient location, located right in front of Noboribetsu station and the bus stops to Jigokudani. Room was cosy for our group of 4 (private room)

Bed slightly on the harder side but understandable due to this locations price range. Not sure if we were allowed to adjust heater on 2nd floor but it was about chilly and group woke up to a very cold morning (-4 degree). Heater may have been off or not warm enough overnight
