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.

I spent my first time here in Sapporo. Even I mistakenly went to Plat Hostel Ichiba but this place is much better for walking. Plat Hostel Sky is on the road that leads straight to Airport Bus and Sapporo train station. The room has a free towel, a flashlight,a line for hanging clothes inside the bed and shared in the room ,3 hangers, one small safe storage to contain your purse, passport,or charger, two electric sockets,and 2 USB A ports. I am 185 cm tall. The bed is big and private enough for me. There is not a locker for your luggage so you need to place them somewhere properly in the room. The kitchen is next to the lobby which is good to keep your meal cool or even cooking. They will provide you free tea and coffee. The staff are so friendly and ready to help you anytime. If you don't find them at the reception you can call them by hostel phone. The shower rooms are so compact. There is a shower, a faucet, a hairdryer ,and free body soap, shampoo and conditioner. There are toilets for each gender on each floor except the 3rd floor which is for laundry. Both 2 washing machines and dryers work nicely!!! Everything is clean!!! If you keep everything clean as well.

Location: Very convenient, 3 minutes walk to Odori Station, 2 minutes to Tanukikoji, convenience store within 1 minute Facilities: The common area is very large and bright, bathroom and toilet have a women's area very courteous, hot water is very plentiful, there is provided shower gel shampoo cleanser conditioner (good use) is a little troublesome is the bathroom is a separate floor, to I took the lift with my things, but there was no heating on the way. I was placed in an upper bunk bed, slightly inconvenient to get on and off, pillowcases and sheets to be handled by myself, a safe with 24-hour access and 24-lit public areas. They can also help me keep my suitcase after checking out 👍

There is a subway station diagonally across the street, but in fact, if you have the conditions, try to live in Tanukikoji and it is not recommended to live here. There are no scenic spots around (Hokkaido University?), except for the convenience store, it seems to have to walk for a while (when I lived It’s the New Year’s Day holiday, and there are even fewer foods available.) It takes more than half an hour to walk to Sapporo Station. The owner is very nice. The shop has been open for a few years, and even during the New Year, he will see the shop and organize tea parties, and some friends who can't live here will visit. There is a relatively large social space on the first and second floors, and it seems that you can buy breakfast in the store. In bed design, the curtain will leak a little bit and cannot completely cover the privacy; I live on the top floor, and I don’t know if it’s hot water or decoration. There is always a strange smell, and I can’t tell if it’s gas.

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.

I used a five-day pass for my trip to Shiretoko Five Lakes, Abashiri, and Kushiro-Obihiro in Hokkaido. Obihiro is just over a two-hour drive from Sapporo, offering easy access to Kushiro Marsh and convenient transportation to Sapporo and Noboribetsu. The convenience of a single-person stay was the key reason I chose Obihiro. One minor complaint was the mixed-gender bunk beds on the first floor, and the lack of signage for the restrooms and showers was a major drawback. Breakfast was served in the lobby downstairs, and there were very affordable izakayas nearby. Jr. Obihiro Station is about a 700-meter walk away, and there's a bus to Koufuku Station right in front of the station. I love the Japanese countryside; every spot offers unique scenery and delicious food.

Need to walk around 20 minutes from Sapporo station. Hard to find since there is no sign or poster on the entry writing hostel . Rather cafe , after going 3 times round the block I finally read in small print ten to ten . 10 minutes away from any seven eleven or family mart, 30 minutes away from Ōdōri park , I found the location to be not ideal . On their website they write they have a laundromat , which is wrong . No washing machine , I find it disappointing in Japan where every hostels or hotels have one . The lady at the desk told me to go and wash clothes is quite far . Also don’t believe the photos on their website or promotions pictures . There is no park down the building . It’s a small hostel in a small street isolated from the rest of the neighborhood. For the hostel itself , classic , nothing to say except some of the curtains on their bed don’t close properly , the bed is very comfortable , bathroom clean and you can change towels every day . Breakfast is for free every morning at 8 and it is a coffee and a small bread . Still delicious . Staff is not always on the premises, morning and evening . In a nutshell. Was good for a short stay but will definitely look for another one with better equipment ( laundromat ) and better location ( closer to a family mart ) next time .

Loved the location, close to Day and Night life. Near NHK Tower, ”Central Park” Odori, Bus Center, and my friend's office bldg in view!! Most of all, I like to go eat at the City Hall cafeteria, every once in a while, plus free great view of the city from top floor, nice restaurant cafe up there, also. Question: You have a nice Kitchen on 4F, but no table to sit??. I will certainly Come again next time.

This is a youth travel that is not large in scale, mainly closed bunk beds, very clean, everyone has a small table for easy writing, if you need to borrow a folding stool from the outside, the facilities are still very complete. The service was very warm. I didn't speak Japanese. I also talked a lot with people with the translation software. The eldest sister at the front desk once taught bead calculations. I loved playing table tennis in my amateurs, haha. The next day, the eldest brother drove to the travel destination, thank you very much. Continue to stay next time, it is necessary.

When we first stepped foot in the Hostel Tomar we experienced a sense of dejavú. It seemed to be modelled after the popular hostels of Europe. The staff could speak fluent English & were helpful. The place was huge (for Japan), bright & airy. We immediately felt at home. The location is incredible. It was drizzling when we arrived & continued to do so the entire time we were there. Luckily there are lots of eateries & shopping places around within easy access of the hostel. So instead of moping & bemoaning our bad luck we spent our time happily shopping for last minute souvenirs & scuppered our plans to explore further afield.
