Boutique Hotels in Otaru

I booked at this hostel based on someone's recommendation from another hostel. I have spent nearly a year in Japan and this is one of my favourite hostels I have stayed in! I met up with my friend in Otaru and we both stayed in the female-only dorm. The location is great, and we were lucky to see some fireworks from the veranda outside. The entire environment is very cosy, there is a whole wall full of DVDs that are free to watch, so we watched a Ghibli film nearly every night we stayed. There's also a huge selection of books, manga and games too, with lots of cosy spaces to enjoy. The host and staff members were very helpful, friendly and kind. And of course they have a dog and cat so that is the cherry on top!
