Matsumoto Guesthouse Tabi-shiro - Hostel

The best hostel I got to stay in Japan so far. The guesthouse doesn't only look beautiful and cozy, you will also find everything you need - there is even lint rollers and hot-water bottles. The staff was super friendly, helpful and welcoming, the bar and lobby are really nice to stay. I stayed in the womens dormitory and the beds were really comfortable and there was space to store your luggage under the bed so even with my very large bag I had no problems. They also offer an inexpensive little breakfast! Would and will stay here again!

friendly staff, great place, close to the castle... i had a great time ar the bar!

The breakfast was very affordable, and it was great to be able to hang out with the hosts and the other guests while I was there. The beds were very comfortable and the other guests made an effort to minimise noise etc. Everything was very clean and sanitary. The hostel had a very cosy feel. The hosts also spoke in slowly in Japanese so I could understand. The other guests were super friendly. We were only a 10 minute walk from the train and bus stations for our day trip.

Perhaps there could have been a few more options for the breakfast, like eggs or something filling.

Really great vibe! Staff are friendly, bunk beds are spacious, communal area is lovely, and a free drink on arrival! Large female only bathroom which was always spotless.

Nothing

The guesthouse is lovely and the staff were so welcoming. I stayed two nights and all the staff and other guests I met really elevated my experience staying here. Everything is spotless and small thoughtful touches make this place very comfortable.
