Seems loke a very new facility and for the most part was fairly quiet and people minded their own space. The kitchen area was extremely clean despite the amount of people using it.

Nice and cheap, but go for the private room
Nice facilities, great access to furano. The dorms are too big with 18 people. With everyone sharing one fridge Australians steal a lot of food, not really the hostels fault, but something you have to deal with.

The hostel has a industrial design but with lots of wood accents. The ground floor lounge area is large and spacious. Theres a fully equipped kitchen on the 2nd floor. The rooms are comfortable and the bathrooms are clean.

I really like it's location, and the staff was very kind and friendly. The only complain was that the room was a too warm and had a strong smell.

An upgraded hostel with contemporary design
It’s a very excellent experience to stay in Hostel Homar. Overall design is contemporary. Location is good and very convenient. The only shortfall is eco-cleaning. As we stayed for 3 days, we need to clean our room.

Clean and usually quiet. We had the room directly next to the front desk area so it was loud at times and thin walls. Maybe they have had noise complaints in the past. They provide free ear plugs at the front desk but it was too noisy for us. Didn’t like that you had to ask the front desk to adjust temperature of room. I think the room temperature settings are connected too. We had them turn it down when we checked in and they turned it up at night for some reason so we woke up hot and sweaty at 3am. Terrible experience as we couldn’t sleep due to the heat and couldn’t change the temperature. Had private twin room which was spacious. Access to shared but single access shower and toilet rooms which was nice as oppose to having to use the same shower and toilet area as the dorms. The washing/drying machine is a coin machine and single setting only good for lightly soiled clothing. Big communal kitchen that we used. Have to pay for parking but convenient location. Overall would probably choose another place to stay instead if we were to visit again.

Hostel Tomar provided all the amenities and more of what I would expect from a hostel. The restrooms and showers were kept clean with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash provided. A shower towel as also provided and bedsheets were clean and the bed space per person was just right for me. Some guests although may no abide by some of the guidelines and create more noise and ruckus making it difficult to fall asleep but luckily there are free earplugs provided too! If I have the chance to explore the Furano area more extensively in the future, this would definitely be my preferred accommodation.

The property allows for quite a lot of people to stay. The shared dorms have 22 beds in them each and then there are many private rooms. Yet they only have one refrigerator to accommodate all these people!! I couldn’t fit anything in there. It was so packed all the time.
I went during a really busy week so the shared dorms that were mixed always made the floor smell awful in the mornings. The staff had to set up fans and air fresheners around the floor to make it smell less but it was gross. The dorms don’t have any windows. There is not enough space for everyone’s ski/snowboard gear on the racks.

This is a fantastic property. Clean, contemporary and comfortable. You can hear other guests from time to time in the hallway, etc, but everyone is quite respectful and it's quiet at night and easy to sleep. We had two people in a "family" three person room which worked great for all our stuff as we were skiing for 3 weeks in Japan and had quite a bit of it (backcountry backs with avi gear, extra warm clothing, etc., etc.). We didn't take advantage of the shared kitchen but it appeared well-stocked and a good option to save money on meals. If you don't want to cook, there are plenty of great restaurants in walking distance and not too far to shops selling snacks and food. I'd definitely stay here again.

Great and VFM stay
I like the location of the hostel. The facilities are a bit dated but all in good working conditions and very clean most importantly. The host Ma-San has been generous and invited me to a Soba-party with his japanese friends and they have been very generous and gracious. Mayumi-San cooks great breakfast food and snacks for a small fee which I am very grateful for!
