Hostels in Hokkaido, Japan

The room was very clean and well-equipped with all amenities. There were guests from all over the world, and the front desk service was excellent. The location is incredibly convenient, right in the city center with a commercial street downstairs. The price is also very affordable, making it the perfect choice for solo travelers. I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit.

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!

It was a good time for me to stay there for couple days. It is nearby to city center so from there you can access wide areas.

Family room is very large and there is a attic floor room with refrigerator shower and toilet separation very clean no smell very quiet there is a laundry room with a dryer there are other Japanese tourists staying on the same day the boss is very good and very happy to help you can make an appointment to pick you up to the station or Wen Quanjie at night, we took a boat to watch the fireworks at night at 9:20. The boss also helped us to pick us up at that time. There are three hiking routes next to the hotel. There are two short ones. It takes more than half an hour to go back and forth. In the morning, we slowly walked to the Jinbiluo Fire Exit Observatory. The raw sika deer was curious and cautiously observed for a while, and then twisted around. It jumped into the planting on the side of the road and disappeared. It had unexpected benefits. According to the boss, there are actually many deer here. You can overlook Lake Toya and the hot spring block and the pool of green mountains. Water (small fire mouth) The boss warmly invited us to come again in winter. I want to come to the snow scene to win.

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.

This is a relatively small youth hostel, primarily with enclosed bunk beds. It's very clean, and each guest has a small desk for writing. Folding stools are available for borrowing if needed. The facilities are quite complete. The service was very friendly. Even though I don't speak Japanese, I managed to chat with them using a translation app. The lady at the front desk used to teach abacus and plays table tennis in her spare time. The next day, a man drove us to our destination. Thank you very much. I'll definitely stay there again.

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.
