Extremely homey. Wonderful kind staff and beautiful spaces. Genuinely my favorite hostel I’ve ever stayed in. Leaving made me so sad, I wish I can come back.

Great little guesthouse in Otaru. Easy 20 minute flat walk from Otaru station, or a 10 minute walk up a slight hill from Miniami Otaru. Supermarket, convenience stores, and public bathhouse all within 10 minute walk from the hostel. Staff were super friendly and welcoming. Bunk bed was comfortable and spacious. Toilet was a little small and ceiling was quite low in some places, but nothing far from the norm of a traditional Japanese household. Would definitely stay again.

This was one of the best places I've stayed. The people here are so nice and friendly and make you feel like you're part of their little family in the house. It almost feels like a homestay experience. One time I missed the last train so I returned the next morning and they were all worried about me. The place is very clean and has all the amenities you need. Highly recommended!

The hostel has "character" and I really liked it. I think a cup of tea in the morning would be great.

Small, cosy hostel with a cute Corgi named Hug. The staff of this hostel are lovely and the atmosphere is relaxing. Great place to stay if you want to explore Otaru

Really clean, warm, and cosy, family run hostel. Well located for sightseeing and eating in Otaru, and skiing at Tengu-yama. Home cooked breakfast optional extra. I recommend this hostel very highly and would love to stay there again!

There really are no words to explain my love for this place, but I will try. First of all, if you are someone that loves fancy hotel rooms and having everything pristine; this is sadly not the place for you and that really is a shame. This place feels like it inspired a Ghibli movie; not an imitation, but the source. It has been a few weeks since I left and just thinking about the place still warms my heart. There is a common area where you can sit under a kotatsu (table with a heater built into it and a blanket to trap the heat and sit under). They have games or manga you can use to pass the time, or you can simply relax and have great conversation. The floor boards squeak under your feet while walking to and from the bathroom and it really reminds me of the Nightingale floors in Japanese castles to deter ninjas stealthy entrances. The corgi and the cat are so well behaved and cute. I could go on and on about the things that I love about this place, but I am sadly running out of space with the word count. Bottom line: staying at this place is good for your soul. If you want to go somewhere that just warms you from the inside out, this is the place. I hope that at some point in my life I find my way back here again.

Morinoki is an amazing place. The staff is helpful, friendly, and they are carwdul to make sure your needs are met. The huse is beauitful and warm in the freezing snow of Otaru. I never felt cold or uncomfortabke once. Theee are books to read, movies to watch, and a kitxhen with everything you could think of. New guests nearly everyday made staying for a week a really fun experience!

小樽フェリーパートから近くてバイクも停められて、良かったです。

It was the best experience

친구들과 하룻밤 묵었어요. 일본 특유의 감성이 곳곳에 잘 녹아 있었고 인테리어가 정말 아기자기해요. 아침에 비용을 조금만 추가해서 훌륭한 음식을 먹을 수 있었어요. 그리고 매우 친절해요. 드라이기나 소형 치약이 있었습니다.

Breakfast really delicious I felt cozy in Kotatsu 아침밥 맛있고 든든해요 꼭 드세요! 아기자기한 그릇에 차려주시는데 너무 일본 갬성 그잡채 코타츠 있어서 좋았어요 강아지 고양이도 귀여워요 일본 가정집 난방이라 추울 수 있어요

宿泊当日、雨が降っていてキャリーケースが濡れた状態で到着しました。タオルを用意して下さり、また拭いて下さり感謝です。また、北海道に行く機会があったら利用したいです。ありがとうございました。

관광지랑 거리도 가깝고 위치도 미나미오타루역, 오타루역 사이에 있어서 딱 좋았어요. 위생 상태도 좋고 숙소에 묵는 내내 친절하게 대해주셔서 편하게 지낼 수 있었어요. 그리고 강아지와 고양이가 특히 너무너무 귀여워요. 아침밥도 정말 맛있었습니다!! 다음에도 또 가고 싶어요

スタッフの方はとてもフレンドリーで、こたつやハンモックのある居間がとても心地よかったです。朝ごはんも温かい美味しいものをいただけました。とても満足のいく宿泊になりました！ありがとうございました。

オーナーが気さくで良かった

アットホームで快適な宿でした

정말 좋았습니다! 혼자 여행와서 쓸쓸하신 분들이 머무시기 좋은 숙소 입니다. 강아지 허그와 고양이 모모가 정말 귀엽고 마유미상의 아침밥이 정말 맛있으며 헬퍼님과 사장님은 친절하시지만 프라이빗한 시간을 매우 존중해주시기 때문에 편안하게 묵고왔습니다 단점이 있다면 목조 건물이라 바닥에서 소리가 나고 언덕 배기에 있어서 눈이 쌓이면 캐리어를 끌고 찾기가 어렵다는 것 정도

古民家を改装したホステル。

民家の中に普通にある民宅という感じ とても温かみがあり、よかったです
