+ Vandrerhjemmet er veldig sentralt i Matsumoto. Betjeningen er energisk og hyggelig. Fellesområdene er rene og det er en trivelig stemning der.

- Sengene på rommet var ikke komfortable. Det er ikke privat bad og man må betale ekstra for håndklær. For nesten 20 000 yen er prisen altfor høy - en fair pris ville vært 6 - 8 000 yen.

+ Très bon emplacement et personnel très sympa Les futons étaient également très confortable

- La chambre privée est très petite Plutôt cher pour une guesthouse Demander de payer 100yens pour avoir une serviette, vu le prix de la chambre, est très curieux

+ Location was great. Staff worked hard at keeping the place clean and were very helpful with check in. Room was a good size for three people and luggage. Handy to have early luggage drop off area.

- First impression was that entry way smelled very funky(all those shoes!). Communal space & kitchen small for the amount of folks using it. Our particular room was very humid and windows were always wet.

+ A five minute walk to the castle and only a 15 minute walk from the station. Ideally situated for maximum time/landmarks. Friendly staff and fun shared kitchen/dining space. Clean bathroom, good washer/dryer.

- Our room was just big enough for two futon and two suitcases. It was as photoed though so no deception on the hostels part!

+ Ubicación y anfitrión perfectos.

- Solo hay un wc y una ducha por planta, cosa que comporta aglomeraciones por la mañana. La toalla tiene un coste de 100yenes.
