I've been really impressed by the hostels in Japan, and Hostel Niniroom was no exception. The building felt very modern, and my private room had a really nice vibe and decor. Staff were incredibly friendly, and the common room downstairs is quite nice. Everything felt very clean, and everything at the hostel felt well thought out and organized.

All hostels in Otsu

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
