Couch Potato Hostel

Matsumoto

All rooms in the hostel are fitted with a coffee machine. The rooms include a shared bathroom, a bidet and a hairdryer, and some rooms at Couch Potato Hostel have a safety deposit box. All units have bed linen. Perfect for a stay in Matsumoto. I stayed in a dorm and my bed was huge by hostel standards. It was a built from solid wood and had enough room to have a nice Japanese style bed plus room for anything you needed to store. It had wrap around curtains providing lots of privacy. I had quiet roommates and slept well. The common area was great with a kitchen with a bar and an area to chill in with lots of musical instruments which you could pick uk and play if you wanted. The place was packed with interesting items like an ancient massage chair. It was the focal point of the hostel and encouraged people to sit around and socialize. It was close to all the attractions in Matsumoto with lots of shops and restaurants nearby. I had a great time here and would come again if I'm ever back in Matsumoto. Highly recommended.

The lodge is located a bit out of town but there is a good shuttle system to take you to town/slopes. I only stayed a couple of nights but it feels like I was there much longer ✨

I managed to share some time with each one and now treasure wonderful moments.
