No lobby to wait for check-in or stay after check out if the cafe is open. You can only stay there, if you buy something from the cafe.

Great location and value for money!

You can only sit downstairs if you buy something, staff is not 24/7 available

Everything modern and clean, small kitchen, nice cafe downstairs

The beds could be a little more comfortable and getting in and out of the upper bunk can be a little tricky.

Very clean property and a great value. The staff were incredibly helpful in storing bags and helping me to get a cab.

There's a sink vanity in female dorm. Also If you want to sit down in the cafe/ bar, which is the only open area here, you're expected to order at least 1 drink/ person. I don't mind it but they definitely must improve their coffee quality here. On the higher end rate for a bed in dorm but it's Sakura perhaps? Also the hotel name is only in Japanese on Booking.com so it's a hassle to do Google Map it.

Clean and about 10 mins walk to Hirosaki Park.

Just that the lights were one the whole night, people didn’t want to turn it off and kept going in and out of the room

Very clean and comfortable. Cozy!!!

Shared bathroom.

Cool Art environment. Nice architecture. Great flower arrangements. Also the cafe at the reception is a great idea.

When I checked out there was nobody there, that felt a bit sad.

I loved the sleeping cubicles, cozy, private enough and comfortable. The hospitable staff was also wonderful.

Everything was good.

Spacious tatami room in a modern guesthouse in Hirosaki. There are restaurants, cafes and sights within 5 to 20 minutes' walk, with Hirosaki Station about 20 minutes' walk (or shorter by bus). The first floor area is a cafe during the day and common area during the evening.

The lighting next to the bed makes the bed area super hot

Friendly staff

If I had to nitpick - towels for showering cost extra (I think it was less than 500yen) which was a bit annoying, but no biggie.

All was great.

There's a sink in the female dorm, and some guests were using it very late or very early, which made annoying noise when they could have used the general ones outside the dorm.

Loved the decor and the vibe of the place, good location, walkable distance from the station and the main attraction of the city, it was comfortable and clean.

Noise, light

Overall it was good, as for a capsule hostel. Just bear in mind that the “capsules” are in the open space so it’s really loud. There are earplugs in the bathroom one can take but I didn’t find them efficient. Also, since the capsules are made out of irregular wooden boxes, one can see the light coming through which I found annoying while sleeping

Not very social the night we were there.

Great location and clean.

The only women area doesn’t have a wash basin. The lights and other switches needs to be in the middle or at the entrance of the dorm/capsule. Need more comfortable chairs or sitting in the common area near the kitchen on first floor.

It’s near the castle and other happening places and chomes in the town. They were also very helping with my heavy luggage and kept it.

Friendly staff. Great location. I liked having a sink and mirror in the room.

Travelled to Hirosaki to attend the cherry blossom festival. Loved the location of Orendo hostel and the proximity to Hirosaki park which was about a 10min walk, the train station was about 20mins walk in the other direction, a convenience store was 5mins away . The staff were young. friendly and enthusiastic. We stayed in the twin room on tatami matting and it was very spacious. The dormitory style accommodation looked very quirky as it was made out of many apple boxes joined together. The shared kitchenette was tiny, however it had a fridge for putting food in and a marker pen to label it. Lovely place to stay.

Great location close to Hirosaki castle. Very clean amenities. Curry chicken and apple cider at the hirosaki Orando cafe (on site) was delicious.

It’s a hostel, so will not be as private as a hotel room.

The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating, the location was a short walk from Hirosaki Park (took amazing cherry blossom photos), the room was in traditional japanese style allowing a very authentic experience and for a hostel, it was very comfortable.

Stayed in April 2024

The facilities are brand new and super clean. The private bedroom was comfortable and the staff very nice. The places to see are very close by and nice restaurants around.

Located near downtown and the park.

There is no limit at night to use some equipment (hair dryer for example) , and everything is around the same space with high celling, so it was noisy at night, even past midnight

It was clean, and nice
