Really easy to reach the main station on foot, the place is very central. The staff is super kind and helpful. I had a little issue with my phone and they helped me kindly. There is a restaurant/bar on the 1st floor where you can take a coffee in the morning and have a drink in the evening.

Amazing stay at Sora, the host is so helpull and kind. I stayed 5 nights and enjoyed my stay, also super clean and a great location. I did prefer the private room to have enough space for luggage. If I ever get back to Kyoto, I'd stay here - great value for money!

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.
