It is a very cool hostel, its build in a traditional japanese house and it has a nice common room to spen time meeting another travelers. Has everything you need and it is a very short walk from Matsumoto castle and downtown. The owner is super nice and helpful and they even have some free bikes (first come, first served) to use to go around the city.

I spent 4 nights in Popotel Three. It was very nice, comfortable and very clean. The owner is very friendly and make you feel like home. Communication before arrival was perfect. Clear instructions to find the house. I highly recommend this place if you want to explore Matsumoto and surroundings (10-15 min max from the train station). I would just add a small lamp next to the bed in Room A 😁

The house was very spacious, it was probably a hostel with a lot of rooms before Covid19, as everything was accommodated for it. Very good location next to the Matsumoto Castle. The host was so super nice, he even gave us access to his private Cable TV to be able to watch the World Cup, as Argentina was playing the Finals! It was very important for me to watch the game, as I´m Argentinian.

Everything was just great! The owner Brian was so friendly, he informed us about all the tings we can do in Matsumoto itself and about different day or half-day Trips we can do from Matsumoto. He also has a written version where you can read about the trips in detail. It's possible to use the kitchen and cook for yourself. We even got a heater, as it was pretty cold in the night. And the location is also really good, as it is just a 10 min walk to the train station and to the Matsumoto Castle it's also only 15 min to walk. Unfortunately we already booked the nightbus to travel to the next stop. Otherwise we would have loved to stay longer!

All hostels in Matsumoto

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Brian and the staff made everything so the guest would feel at home! The shared spaces are very inviting. The kitchen, the showers, and the dorms are very clean and comfortable. The hostel is in a great location near the JR Station but also in a queit area near the river

    Very friendly hostel, in a great location not too far from Matsumoto castle. Rooms are Japanese style, with lots of space in the dorms. I had a large suitcase with me and there was plenty of storage space for it beside my futon! Lovely staff as well, great vibe in the hostel overall.

    The hostel is in a great location and so quiet. The staff are really helpful, but best of all you could feel the history of the place. We are a family of four (two boys aged 13 & 11) and all thought it was the best hostel we’ve stayed at - friendlier, more fun and better than many hotels. Would stay there happily again.
