Matsumoto BackPackers

It was very laid back and friendly. I meet a lot of new friends from around the world. I ended up staying longer than planned because I liked it so much. Nice kitchen, shower, bed, etc. I stayed in nicer places before but made very few friends there to go see the sights with. But here i found many.

The AC in my bunk room only mildly worked.

I liked its location near the train station. It also has a kitchen.

1. The price is high compared to other hostels in Japan and what you get here, I booked here only due to rain as I didn’t intend to stay in the town overnight. 2. There’s not much space, it’s quite narrow although I felt comfortable because there was wasn’t many people around.

Convivial atmosphere. Old style charm.

‘Left luggage’ turned into extra hustle, cancelled return night accordingly.

The location and the guy at the reception were really nice points

It was very loud … I has the bed close to the street and there is like a paper wall, very beautiful and traditional Japanese one but you could really hear the street noise. Furthermore you could hear everything that was happening in the kitchen or in the bathroom from the bedroom. And to end with, it is not the fault of the hostel but the other persons I shared the room with were so loud, there was a group of 3 friends speaking in the dormitory like if they were in their living room … not understanding what is a shared dormitory … so I had pretty bad night there and was really tired after
