Why choose a hostel in Ōtsu?
It’s budget-friendly
Hostels in Ōtsu are a fraction of the price of hotels – as little as Rs15,991 per night. Why not save on accommodation, so you can spend more on the things in Ōtsu that really matter — like delicious food and sightseeing? Most hostels have kitchens and laundry rooms too, so you can cook meals and wash clothes for yourself just like you do at home.
It’s flexible
In some of the larger hostels in Ōtsu you can book one night at very short notice, or decide to extend via the hostel’s reception desk if you’ve fallen in love with Ōtsu. It’s not uncommon for some backpackers to live in hostels for months.
You’ll make friends
Solo travellers opt for cheap hostels in Ōtsu so they can make friends to party or explore with. Spend an hour or two in a dorm room, hostel bar, or common area. You’ll get the kind of tips and advice you’d never find in a private apartment or hotel. There could also even be pub crawls, communal dinners and special organised events!
You’ll immerse yourself in Ōtsu
You’re never going to find out where to get the cheapest beer in town if you’re sat on your own in your hotel room. Hostels give you the chance to exchange tips and advice about Ōtsu with other travellers. Some hostels in Ōtsu even offer free guide books and walking tours, and the staff are more forthright with local tips, too.
You can kick back
Hostels are relaxed places, and often feel much more comfortable than hotels. You can kick back on the sofa all day with new friends and cook and eat your own meals communally. A true home away from home!
