This place was awesome! Family of 4, stayed in bunk bed private room. Kids loved it- plenty of space! Super nice and friendly owner! Amazing location for everything Motsamoto has to offer! Will definitely stay here again- we had a car and city parking was also super easy for us- definitely a cool place! Cant recommend it enough! Kitchen area was friendly and useful, shared living room super cool and open and bathrooms were really clean! Couch potato hostel is the best.
Very central location so easy to access restaurants and services. Family friendly hostel.

This is a little gem of a place! Takeru-san is a wonderful and kind host. The space is warm and welcoming, clean and bright. Our Japanese style triple room was peaceful and so comfortable. The shower is great. We met other travelers in the common area. I think this might have been my favorite stay in Japan. I would come back here just to stay at Couch Potato 😀. Thank you to the hosts!
In my limited experience, this is the best hostel I've stayed in. Like what one of the guests said, it has everything that will make any traveler's stay very comfortable. The owner runs the place himself and is very accommodating.
This is one of my favorite hostels I have ever been to. I felt very comfortable hanging out in the common area and the other guests and host were so nice. I definitely want to come back and stay for more than one night. If you are in Matsumoto I highly recommend this location.
Excellent hostel in best location. The bedding is superbly comfortable, and the 4-bed family room with sleeping platforms was spacious and quiet. The showers are large. The kitchen is very well appointed, with a range of appliances as well as complimentary tea and real coffee. First rate hospitality from the host. I absolutely recommend this hostel.
