Hostels in Hokkaido, Japan

Location: close to Susukino Station, just a few steps away, and not far from Odori Station and Sapporo Station either, so it’s good. Cleanliness: normal Japan hostel standard. It’s clean even though a lot of people stayed. but you can’t compare it to a normal hotel staff: nothing special, they just do their job, I guess facilities: the common area is GOLD✨, has a lot of workspace, is clean, and also has the charger. It’s also well decorate! it’s also have elevator! Summary: It's a good option, and compared to the price, it's nice. will definitely go back! Good to know: some rooms have a lot of people, like 30 beds, but are still silent, and the privacy is not bad. The hostel also has a medium side locker inside the personal bed area

This hostel is on the pricier side, and the shower water temperature is inconsistent. It's really inconvenient having to walk through the kitchen and common area, past everyone, just to get to the bathroom. Many residents seem to live here permanently, with their belongings scattered all over the floor. It's not a very welcoming place for travelers just staying a short while.

The three of us stayed in a quad room with bunk beds. It was a bit small, but the beds were large and very comfortable, similar to what you'd find in a YHA, making it great for families and friends traveling together. The common areas were a real highlight; I enjoyed sitting there alone for a while when I couldn't sleep, sipping tea or coffee – it was lovely. Excellent value for money, perfect for budget-conscious travelers.

Sparkling clean although understand a reason for that is that you can’t cook here or even use their cutlery. They just supply some cups (though there is a kitchen sink on the top floor by the fridge). This place doesn’t really have a lounge. A problem with sharing the ground floor lounge with a cafe is that when I’m sitting there a cafe waitress comes by expecting me to order something.

There is a wood burning to the heating stove at the entrance on the first floor of the homestay. It really feels a little ”untapped”. The homestay is divided into two parts, and the back should be more upscale! Because I didn't really enter it, I just took a photo outside. The homestay attaches great importance to details. Guests who are afraid of cold can freely take hot water bags and cover them with towels and coats very carefully. If you have the opportunity to see the real experience!

My friend and I stayed together, and the room was considerably more spacious than expected. As is typical for many Japanese hotels, the bathroom is smaller than those in Korean hotels, but it was not a major inconvenience. The bar on the first floor sells drinks at reasonable prices, and all the staff were very friendly. Accessibility to the center of Susukino is also good.

I really experienced the style of a Japanese homestay here, especially the children are very excited about tatami. The room is very spacious, there is also a loft, you can sleep on it and below, and you can make your own bed and fold the quilt. Although it is not a hotel, the floor, carpet, bathroom, mattress, quilt... are very clean. There is heating in the house, although it looks small, but the energy is very big. The store is a short distance from Hot Spring Street, about 40 minutes walk, snowy road in winter, it is not recommended to walk, you can do bus to arrive, the station is at the door, there is a timetable in the corridor on the first floor for reference. When returning at night, the boss is very intimate to pick up the car, you can call in advance or agree on the time and place in advance. The boss is very very nice, very friendly, and the owner's mother (a kind old grandmother) who lives next to the hotel is also very good. We arrived early in the morning. The grandmother did not let us check in at 3 pm like other hotels, but kept saying that the weather was cold and let me go directly to the room. In the afternoon, she personally sent us to Hot Spring Street. I was very touched. 👍👍👍 The next morning, because there was no suitable bus, the boss took the initiative to send us to the station, which made us very touched 👍 In short, if you are tired of staying in a hotel, want to experience Japanese life and feel the warmth of ”home”, you can come here. highly recommended

There was an issue with my capsule hotel booking, and to top it off, Sapporo experienced heavy snowfall, causing the JR airport line to shut down. By the time I finally made it to the city center, the subway and buses had stopped running. Luckily, I spontaneously booked this place, and it's within walking distance of Sapporo JR Station. Given the price, I didn't have high expectations. I just pulled the curtain, put in my earplugs, and slept soundly until morning. It's a decent option for a solo traveler needing a last-minute overnight stay.

Excellent! It has a very hostel-like vibe with comfortable common areas where I could chat with other travelers in the evenings. The staff were also very friendly, engaging in conversations and recommending great attractions and restaurants. This hostel is a must-stay for travelers who enjoy interacting with others.

For what it is, a cabin/hostel, it’s well done. The rooms clean, staff helpful. What makes this place stand out though is their sauna tent. At first I was in doubt how good this could be, but with the wood stove, the forest smelling steam, the resting areas and the cold pool, it made it actually one of the best sauna experiences in Japan. Seldom do you get to do your own Löyly like that. Not a lot in the neighbourhood though (in summer), so for us one night was perfect.
