가장 편안한 숙소

마츠모토 역이나 키타마츠모토 역에서 조금 떨어져있지만, 바로 근처에 마츠모토 성과 여러 맛집이 있다는 점이 이 숙소 장점 중 하나입니다. 스텝 분들도 친절하셔서 공용 공간에서 가벼운 잡담도 하면서 여행 중 가장 편안한 시간을 보낼 수 있었습니다. 110V 어댑터 대여를 해주시며, 타올은 유료로 대여할 수 있습니다. 숙소에서 맛집이나 관광지도 추천해주시니 적극적으로 활용하시면 좋을 것 같습니다.

In my limited experience, this is the best hostel I've stayed in. Like what one of the guests said, it has everything that will make any traveler's stay very comfortable. The owner runs the place himself and is very accommodating.

Exceptionnel séjour

Magnifique auberge proche du château, joliment décorée et avec tout le nécessaire pour se faire à manger. Le propriétaire était très chaleureux et serviable. La chambre était propre et les lits confortables. Des vélos sont disponibles gratuitement et c'est pratique pour silloner les environs. On y retournera sans hésitations lors d'un prochain voyage !

This place was awesome! Family of 4, stayed in bunk bed private room. Kids loved it- plenty of space! Super nice and friendly owner! Amazing location for everything Motsamoto has to offer! Will definitely stay here again- we had a car and city parking was also super easy for us- definitely a cool place! Cant recommend it enough! Kitchen area was friendly and useful, shared living room super cool and open and bathrooms were really clean! Couch potato hostel is the best.

This is a little gem of a place! Takeru-san is a wonderful and kind host. The space is warm and welcoming, clean and bright. Our Japanese style triple room was peaceful and so comfortable. The shower is great. We met other travelers in the common area. I think this might have been my favorite stay in Japan. I would come back here just to stay at Couch Potato 😀. Thank you to the hosts!

4人の相部屋で私は初めてのゲストハウス、みなさん外国の方だったので少し心配でしたが、施設のルールを守るのはもちろん、日本の住文化へのリスペクトが感じられ、心地よく過ごすことができました。 何の文句も付けられないくらい充実した設備には驚きました。 あと何泊かしてたら離れたくなくなりそうなくらい… スタッフさんもとても親切です。 近隣でオススメの食事処などもマップで丁寧に教えてくれて、自分で調べるよりも確かな情報に安心しました。 お布団はふかふかで非常に気持ち良く眠りにつくことが出来ました。 松本駅近辺で決めたいならぜったいここを選んで欲しいです。
