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.

Amazing place! In the quite location but close to all major temples and attractions of Kyoto, close to bus that gets you directly to Kyoto station. We had a beautiful room with private bath and you don’t get to see it on the pictures but it’s almost like private onsen, really cute and nice after entire day of walking. We would definitely stay there again if ever in Kyoto.

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.
