Hostels in Hokkaido, Japan

"1. **Location** From Sapporo Station, it's about a 20-minute walk through the underground passage. You'll exit near Mega Don Quijote and find the hotel just one block away. Being right in the middle of the shopping district makes it incredibly convenient for shopping and dining. 2. **Facilities** The capsule itself is quite spacious – I could even fit my carry-on suitcase inside. There's a locker-like compartment within the capsule, which is great for storing valuables. On the 3rd floor where I stayed, there were two shower rooms, and the restrooms were separated for men, women, and also a unisex option. The shower rooms were a bit small, but they provided basic amenities like body wash and shampoo. The hallway temperature was comfortable due to constant air conditioning, but the capsule itself got quite chilly in the early morning. I tend to get hot easily, so if I felt cold, others might find it quite uncomfortable. It was nice to have a small snack area on the second floor. 3. **Service** Check-in was on the second floor, and the staff spoke decent English, which was a plus. I paid a 300 yen accommodation tax upon check-in. 4. **Other** With quite a few capsules on one floor, I was worried the shower rooms would be crowded. However, surprisingly, it wasn't busy at all, perhaps because people naturally used them at different times. Overall, it's a perfectly decent capsule hotel for solo travelers on a budget."
