YOUTEI2 HOSTELs

30 beds to 1 dorm room, 2 toilets, 2 showers, with no storage space is far too many people to cram into a room. There is no privacy - no curtains, and there’s strangely a camera in the bedroom which is quite invasive. Missing very basic things such as cutlery or plates or anything to eat with. People were putting their food outside the window as there was no fridge. No areas to hang out really.

Great location

Nill

Bed was comfortable and it had the bare minimum of what you need

I had high hopes for my stay, but unfortunately, it fell short. The space was cramped, with not enough room for the number of people staying there, making it feel uncomfortable. The lack of privacy curtains on the bunks was disappointing, and the layout of the room was quite odd. It was a cold, dry room that didn’t effectively dry my gear. Despite being advertised as a no-smoking facility, smoke from the downstairs smoker room seeped into our space, which was quit unpleasant

It was new and had good proximity to the slopes. Showers are good. Staff were lovely.

The building is very unfinished. No common area to speak of, one small 4 person table for approximately 30 guests to use. A disgusting stinky smoking room underneath the main area that seeps smoke smells into the main areas. No privacy screens on the bunks.

Great location just a short walk from the east gondola, tower pair lift, the resort area, and two konbini! The bed was comfy and I didn't find the capsule stifling, however I am small and 165cm tall. The staff were very lovely and friendly. Everything was diligently kept clean!

With no reviews when I booked, I was a little sceptical this place even existed but it does and it's good! Though the staff were nice, I did not often find them very helpful. I had called the number to see if I could be allowed to stow my luggage before the (late) check in time and did not make any progress whatsoever even after talking for a few minutes. The code on the door also managed to lock me out randomly one night, leaving me to yell and bang on the door in just my socks till someone heard me. For a capacity of I think 32 people? More seating and better kitchen facilities would be more appropriate. There is only a kettle, toaster oven and a microwave, no cutlery or dishware. There is also only 2 showers, with an interesting set up and only the privacy of a thin curtain to change. Unlike the capsules themselves with NO privacy partition from the rest of the room. There is a small lock safe for valuables as small as a passport but nothing else. Despite all this I found it good accommodation for a solo traveller and for sure the best value for money. Maybe if you can snag a booking at the other youtei, it would make up for what this one lacks. PLAN AHEAD AND BOOK YOUR TRANSPORT TO AND FROM THE AREA WELL IN ADVANCE. The resort liner booked through rusutsu's website is great value but must be booked a week in advance. Other buses become full/sold out quickly.

Very close to Resort and next door to convenience store. For the price best available accom in Rusutsu I've stayed at and has laundry showers and kitchen of sorts. Secure and really clean. Staff really friendly when there, Wifi okay. Stayed there with my teenager and he was happy with food nearby good wifi and capsule den bed to chill after riding.

Bar and communal areas. Bar was trying to be high end so charging a lot for mid range whiskey eg over 20 bucks for Talisker 10, had all the expected Yamazaki etc but too expensive to actually drink there... A whiskey buff would be better to visit Rodeo Drive so no one from hostel drank there but no outsiders allowed kind of a vibe kill not set up as a very chill space bar usually empty with staff just killing time. Would be way better to have cheaper drinks and food as these days most places are booked or expensive so it's Seiko or 7-11 3 meals a day. "Kitchen" area was really big and clean but only one small table and a lot of wasted space so most people seemed to chill on their capsule bed and no fridge or cutlery just a microwave No curtains on beds and not great for storage when full. Overall a ot of potential and good for the price but don't expect much of a vibe unless there are crew there with a bit of fun in their bones which did happen when we got some Kiwi boys through . Also standard Japan style they run the aircon crazy hot. Thankful said rowdy kiwis unplugged it most nights otherwise it was a bit like sleeping in a sauna.
