Free bikes were always available and a really nice way to move around the city. Lovely atmosphere as on my last night there was a spontaneous jam session as the musically talented staff dug out all kinds of instruments and we sang and played together some evergreens, thank you for that! <3 Free laundry was useful Clean rooms and spacious cubicles with hangers, hooks, and room to lay out your stuff

Very clean and well organized. Pleasing comunal space to chill and super quiet rooms during the night. Also free breakfast and one free drink a day (i did not know that until last day tho :) ). The owner and baristas can give you many recommendations and they talk really nice English. Also many restaurants in the area and a konbini less than 10mins walking.

I spent 4 nights in Popotel Three. It was very nice, comfortable and very clean. The owner is very friendly and make you feel like home. Communication before arrival was perfect. Clear instructions to find the house. I highly recommend this place if you want to explore Matsumoto and surroundings (10-15 min max from the train station). I would just add a small lamp next to the bed in Room A 😁

The best hostel I have ever been in. Great food and Sake in the restaurant and the Onsen is wonderful after a day of hiking. It is a bit old school but I love that. You can also easily reach Lake Misuzu by foot.

The owner of the house is very helpful and he will also give you information about Nagano travel. The hotel is very comfortable and suitable for experiencing Japanese-style houses. The price is also very cheap, making it the most cost-effective hotel here.

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.

    Brian and the staff made everything so the guest would feel at home! The shared spaces are very inviting. The kitchen, the showers, and the dorms are very clean and comfortable. The hostel is in a great location near the JR Station but also in a queit area near the river

    Very friendly hostel, in a great location not too far from Matsumoto castle. Rooms are Japanese style, with lots of space in the dorms. I had a large suitcase with me and there was plenty of storage space for it beside my futon! Lovely staff as well, great vibe in the hostel overall.

    The hostel is in a great location and so quiet. The staff are really helpful, but best of all you could feel the history of the place. We are a family of four (two boys aged 13 & 11) and all thought it was the best hostel we’ve stayed at - friendlier, more fun and better than many hotels. Would stay there happily again.
