We absolutely loved this place. Wish we'd booked for a longer stay. Super convenient, really cosy and the hosts were fantastic. There was a lot of excellent information available in the property, about local Onsen, attractions, restaurants etc. The hosts were very happy to facilitate bookings and make recommendations. We love it.

とてもフレンドリーなご夫婦がやってるアットホームなお宿でした。とてもきれいにおしゃれにリノベーションされてて快適な滞在が出来ました。ただ表記されてたレンタル自転車？を期待して行ったのにそれがなかったのが残念だったのとバスアメニティとあったので歯ブラシ持って行かなかったらバスタオルしかなかった〜言ったら歯ブラシ出して頂けましたが勘違いする人もいると思うので表記変更した方が親切かもしれません。

ホステルとしてはとても良かったです。和の雰囲気満載で清潔感もあり、スタッフの方もフレンドリーで積極的にコミュニケーションをとってオススメを教えてくれます。リサイクルにも力を入れていて、外国人ウケはいいだろうなと思いました。 ただ事前にホテルページ見て行きましたが、ホステルと思っていなかった為バスセット有なので当然基本アメニティが入ってると思ってしまっていました。バストイレ別も行くまで分からなかったので、ホステルが比較的浸透していない日本ではもう少し目立つように表示しておくと、ホテル希望者が想定と違うという相違は起きないかなと思います。

夜中に暖房が頻繁に音を立てて着いたり消えたりして何度も目が覚めてしまいました。 チェックイン時に暖房の説明を受けましたが、寝る前に何かしておく事があったのかもしれません…オーナーの説明に返事だけしてきちんと聞いてなかったので反省しています。今後は口頭のみでなく文章での説明があると、後で見返せるのでいいかもしれません。 全体的には清潔感があって木のぬくもりも感じられてすごくいい空間でした。ありがとうございました。

The staff was very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. They helped my partner to arrange a special surprise gift for me upon arrival. The place and room were very clean and nice. The bed was so comfortable! Location was excellent- close to monkey park, close walk to onsen and restaurants and bus station. Would highly recommend.

Hotel:flawless. Customer service:needs improvement

I cannot fault the hostel, the bed was really comfortable and it was very clean, the only area of improvement that I can comment on would be the frontdesk’s hospitality The way we were treated during check in was very unwelcoming. We arrived at around 1230pm and the man who “welcomed” us did not make us feel welcome at all. We think he was actually annoyed, he told us that check in was at 3, which was fine but I asked him if we can leave our bags. Having travelled all the way from Tokyo, we were all tired from the early morning trip and we asked if we can use the bathroom to change our clothrs and the man replied, no coz its being cleaned right now. At that point, I really got annoyed and answered him back that we cannot even use the toilet? And he responded very coarsely, okay go, go and use it, go now! The check in was really awkward, as if we were intruding. The woman on the other hand was really lovely. Again, the hostel is really nice and clean but the man at the frontdesk I reckon need to be trained more on how to welcome guests hospitably.

Best place we stayed at during two weeks in Japan

Big thanks to the owner couple who really put an effort into helping with recommendations and making sure the entire place was spot-less. Very good value for money.

Excellent hostel, very helpful and friendly staff, large comfortable room and very clean. A short walk from the train station, where you can also catch buses to the snow monkey park. There were lots of restaurants near by as well. Staff spoke very good english.

Wonderful stay

The hostel was fantastic and the staff could not have been more welcoming and friendly. We loved our stay from start to finish. Our room was spacious and comfortable and the bathroom facilities were plentiful. Every morning we were provided food to prepare breakfast. Doing a bit of cooking was a nice change of pace. We did a load of laundry and had no idea how slow a washer/dryer combo is: be prepared to wait four hours to finish. We went out for dinner so no problem, just a surprise. Yudanaka was a delightful town and we had some of our best meals there. Ask for suggestions and you won’t go wrong. Of course we had to go see the snow monkeys and picked the perfect day. We easily saw more than 100 monkeys during our visit to the park.

Good service albeit noisy

Good service as they helped to call the staff for our next hotel which they spoke in Japanese to fetch us from the hostel to the next hotel we were checking in to. Room was bare with 2 beds and hangers limited. Reckon this should be expected since it’s a hostel. Assigned room was noisy as it was directly above the entrance of the hotel. Woken up by pretty loud conversations in the morning. Hotel staff speaks English.

Best hostel in Japan

Had such a great stay at Aibiya hostel. Was warmly welcomed by Seongmi, one of the owners of the hostel.I have stayed in many hostels in Japan and this is the best. It is built in Japanese style and really comfortable. I also met Yoshi the other owner and had many talks with both of them and they gave great recommendations. They also include a self-service breakfast in the morning which was great. If you are coming for skiiing or to visit the snow monkeys I would definitely recommend this hostel.

Short but good

We only had one night on our way to see the Snow Monkeys so we really did not get to spend much time at our accommodation but the time we had there was good. The hostel is very close to the station and we easily wheeled our luggage there on the short walk. Yoshi and Seongmi were very helpful both before we arrived answering all our questions and with recommendations of places to visit while we were there. Our family of three stayed in the family deluxe room which was very spacious and comfortable with its own toilet and bathroom. Breakfast was included and good. Great value for money and very conveniently located to the Snow Monkeys.
