Hostels in Hakuba

Property was spotless and extremely close to everything. The best part of the stay was the owner. In an emergency scenario where I lost my phone, the owner lended me a large sum of money and organised a staff member to get me a replacement phone. If it wasn’t for him I would have been in serious trouble. Couldn’t rate him and the accommodation higher

The location, the staff, and the facilities

Space is not too small and very clean

Absolutely outstanding stay! I had an incredible experience at A Lucky Hostel. The hostel has such a warm, authentic Japanese atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at home. Brand new building for the dorms and rooms that was spotless and diligently maintained. Having a private onsen on-site was an absolute dream after long days on the slopes. The beds were exceptionally comfortable — plush blankets, great pillows. The free shuttle service to the ski resorts made the whole trip effortless. What truly made this stay unforgettable, though, was Max, the owner. He is genuinely one of the kindest and most helpful hosts I’ve ever met. When my snowboarding bag went missing, Max went far beyond what anyone could expect. He personally drove to the shipping transfer station to search for it and even had a friend follow up later. When we thought the bag might be lost, he quickly arranged a full rental gear setup so I wouldn’t miss a single day of riding. That level of care and dedication is incredibly rare. Thanks to Max, what could have been a stressful situation turned into a story of amazing hospitality. And the best part — my bag eventually showed up! I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

What a lovely stay! It felt like home and I met incredible people there. The dinners were great as well and Gaspard is such a kind and nice host. 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 ✨

Staff was super friendly, everything was super clean and nice. Great restaurant and bar too!

Johnny and his wife are absolute amazing I felt like I was at home and the breakfast was amazing everyone there was super friendly and location is perfect. Not too far away from anything but just close enough. I can’t wait to stay there again. I would highly recommend it. Johnny is an absolute legend.

The staff was very friendly and helpful

I had a great stay at this hostel in Echoland, Hakuba. The check-in process was very smooth with clear instructions, and the place was easy to find. The rooms were clean and comfortable — exactly what I needed for a ski trip. The location is excellent. It’s just a couple of minutes’ walk to the shuttle bus stops serving multiple resorts, making it very easy to get to and from the slopes with my ski boots. Everything you need is nearby: bars, restaurants, shops, and rentals, all within walking distance (as a bonus, there’s an amazing burger place right across the street). I never needed transportation beyond walking. The common areas were practical and well set up. The only downside is that the house can feel a bit cold, especially around the bathroom area, as there isn’t central heating. That said, the rooms have space heaters that work perfectly, and the living room is well heated too, so it was never an issue where it mattered most. Overall, it was exactly what I was looking for — a clean, comfortable, well-located place to sleep and recover after long days of skiing. I’d definitely stay here again. ❄️⛷️

Hotel is very good, their staff so good. Rooms is very good and comfortable.

Great location & friendly staffs

The location is very convenient, just a few minutes walk to Tsugaike Gondola station. Every morning there is a shuttle at 7:45 to Norikura/Cortina(need to sign in before 22:00), and also to the resorts in Hakuba Village at a later time. Best lodge for powder chasing.

Awesome location for Cortina and friendliest local staff in the area
