Sapporo Hostellit

Plussat: Friendly and kind staff, willing to give recommendations and help. Nice place to travel by yourself, easy to meet people.

Plussat: The beds had real mattresses so no need to worry about stiff backs and bruises. Location is conveniently close to Susukino so no need to worry about missing the last train or getting a cab back if you stay out late!

Plussat: Super nice and clean and small hostel. Thanks again to the outstanding hosts. You were just awesome and lovely!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The staff were super nice and helpful. Most of them spoke really good English which was great. The bed was sooo comfy! Location was easy to get to out of the noisy streets but still verve central.

Plussat: I love the cafe and bar atmosphere, it’s very easy to meet others. Well decorated and really friendly and helpful staff.

Plussat: The staff were all nice and welcoming, shout out to Kentaro who checked us in. Clean space and nice vibe!! Complimentary stuff (welcome drink, body essentials..) Right across 2 convenience stores. Few blocks away from the train station and park.

Miinukset: Luggage space could be better in the dormitory rooms. You can hear noise from the outside at night, but if you're dead tired it doesn't really matter.

Plussat: Very friendly staff and nice bar! Definitely recommend this place!

Plussat: Kind staff and a nice place to make new friends!

Plussat: Very friendly and caring staff, cozy lounge room/bar, cheap washing machine, very close to nightlife district susukino but still quiet during the night, staff gives good recommendations for ramen and jingisukan, very good and affordable breakfast

Plussat: Staffs were friendly and kind. Common area was comfy and clean, easy to meet new friends. Breakfast included, free tea and coffee available as well.

Miinukset: The room was a bit small for me, not much space for luggage. My bed got too bright from 4 or 5 am, was awake when the sun came out.

Plussat: Location is good. The hostel is clean.

Miinukset: No vegetarian options for breakfast. No mats out from the shower. The ac turned off during the night and no windows in the room so first night it was difficult to sleep.

Plussat: Stayed there one night only but it was a very nice experience. Rooms are clean and cozy and breakfast is very good. Staff was super nice and even granted me to extend a bit check in time since my plane was very late. Thank you very much for your help, Rina-San!

Miinukset: Nothing, everything was good.

Plussat: Very friendly host. Had a great time staying in this guesthouse. All perfect!

Plussat: The staffs are really nice. They can give you the tips of where to go. The common area are very clean too.

Miinukset: The space of the bed. However, we can’t expect much as the price are actually cheaper

Plussat: The staff is exceptionally oriented to make you feel welcomed and comfortable as much as possible. Definitely recommendable

Plussat: Wonderful staff. There are parties from time to time. The atmosphere is very nice. The free breakfast sandwiches are nicely made.

Miinukset: Only one shower for guys.

Plussat: The staff was extremely nice and tried to create a very social atmosphere by introducing guests to each other. They gave me an umbrella when it was raining and tried their best to make you feel at home. They also made the cutest breakfast with each of us getting a home made sandwich. The location was great, especially for the Hokkaido Shrine festival. And the place was clean.

Miinukset: I thought it was too pricey for what it was. Also it got a little hot at night in the dorm beds.

Plussat: - Location: Walking distance to major sights/eateries in Susukino and Odori + close to a train station. You can also walk to Sapporo Station, but it’ll take 30 minutes - Staff were cheerful, friendly, and helpful - Cozy, welcoming environment Really enjoyed my stay, would come back if I’m ever in Sapporo again!

Miinukset: - Pillow was flat - There is a washer but no dryer on site. Not a big deal, and they provide space to air dry your clothes. Just make sure you account for extra time if you’re planning to do your laundry here.

Plussat: Friendly staff! Tasty breakfast! Nice coffee!

Miinukset: Space of room

Plussat: Im actually writing this from the hostel since i booked another night. The hotel staff is really helpfull friendly and they think with you for your next travel. The staff also makes a lot of chats with you and are interrested. The food downstairs is awesome, recommend it. Close to the metro so a good place to stay.

Miinukset: There where not many travellers when i was here, but that can happen.

Plussat: The bed is big enough for us, since we are quite small. But it’s still bigger than a normal single bed. They only have two shower room, i.e. 2nd and 4th floor (not in the annex building). Small shower room but it has some space outside to put your clothes and do the change. They don’t provide towel (need to rent for ¥200/big or small). However we can follow and like their Instagram or Facebook to get a free towel rent.

Miinukset: It has 4th floor (non annex building), but it doesn’t have lift at all, so you’ll need to make some effort if you have medium or big luggage

Plussat: Everything was great : the room, the bar, staff. A free beverage and nice to talk with the staff.

Plussat: The bed is a real bed, a spring bed for a hostel is superb. 4E is my favorite because the AC is directly to my bed and i feel it is comfortable. Although small kitchen but they provide quite complete cooking utensil (microwave, etc)

Miinukset: front door, manually for lock and open. No elevator, so if you carry 25kg luggage, prepare your legs and back :)

Plussat: - Easy to get there from Sapporo station walking by 20 mins - Very easy going, kind staff & bartender ( the drink was so great taste Thank you!! lemon and strawberry alcohol.) - Simple and Trendy designed interior. I loved their woods and the communal space too. - Smart Heater : that day outside was too cold, so it really helped for being warm easily. - So soft blanket and clean bed - Many sockets in the room even beside each bed! (* I stayed last 14th-15th June, triple room in annex -Very same with the image )

Miinukset: - The wall was weak for soundproof. the other guest might be so tired from our next room(dormitory). snoring big. - If there is a mirror also in the room(triple), would be more better :)

Plussat: There was not a lot of space in the dorm, and also just one bathroom for 8 beds in a tiny dorm. However, the kitchen, the restaurant area and most of all the garden bar were great places to hang out and meet other travellers. I really enjoyed my stay!

Plussat: The amenities are great. The restaurant in the lobby is amazing and I loved the bar in the yard. They even have a garden that they use for the drinks. They gave a ticket for a free welcome drink. The beds are capsule style, but they have very good airflow to keep cool and they don't get stuffy at all. The capsules are spacious and the mattresses are real, full mattresses and comfortable. The owner and staff are all super friendly, nice to talk with and all around great people. The owner even shared some curry with me!

Miinukset: The sink was out of service in the dorm. It was a bit inconvenient to wash hands after using the toilet and brush teeth. The lock for the locker was finicky.

Plussat: Excellent hostel - welcoming staff & nice facility. Our double room had plenty of room. Breakfast was awesome. Great location with super easy access to subway.

Miinukset: With our room on the 5th floor, there were lots of stairs & no elevator. Shared shower & restrooms on different floors - be prepared for stairs!

Plussat: Really close to train station! Super friendly staff and such a cute outside bar!

Plussat: Really close to subway station(south-north line). There are elevators on both side of station. No matter which way u wanna go, can easy drag the luggages. The staff are really nice and helpful.

Miinukset: There’s no elevators in the hostel. With small stairs, dragging a big luggage will be a problem.

Plussat: Located just near the fort in the city (perfect location), the guest house is clean and provides you great hospitality. The hotel owner Eri San and Harry is very helpful and will guide you throughout your stay. The staffs were very helpful. @Harry Thanks for the lift to the "Teine" and your thoughtfulness will always be remembered.

Plussat: Erry, Harry and Joao really did their best to satisfy their guests. Even bringing me a portable fan but can't be plugged in cause there was no extra socket on my side. I had to open my window a wee bit because the room was warm but the fresh air bothers the other Asian guests knowing they're coming to Sapporo, they should have brought their flannel pajamas. This is where I disagree with Erry. If the Asian guests are cold, then give them a warmer blanket. Somebody who is warm can't do anything else but sleep in the nude which doesn't help as there's no fresh air and the cubicle gets stuffy, and the curtains can't completely covers ones privacy. Anybody can see through the gaping holes of the curtains which were loosely hanging from its frame.

Miinukset: On my first few days, I didn't have a good impression. I had asked for a clear and precise instruction on how to get to the guesthouse as I don't have a cellphone. But didn't received their email up to the day I have left for Sapporo. Erry and Harry were on a Sabbatical Leave and left the management of the guesthouse to two inconsiderate female staff. The bidet was not set up for warm water for several days until Joao appeared, and I was denied the use of the ground floor toilet by those two females. There was an urgency to the matter but they still insisted that I used the 2nd floor toilet when there's one on the lower floor for a fact which I didn't know at that time. Even Joao questioned the big WHY? I also wasn't told that I need not buy ice cubes from the convenience store as they have them in the freezer instead of keeping quiet about it and laughing to themselves. Then going to 7-11 one night, one of the females insisted on accompanying there then left. I didn't mind actually cause I already know the way, but on her return, the female staff had turned off the red signal light of the guesthouse. So when I went back, I didn't see the red light and I thought I was lost. I retraced my steps back to the 7-11, and then realized, NO, I wasn't lost just that there was no light at the guesthouse to guide me in.

Plussat: I was visiting with friends for Sapporo’s Yuki Matsuri and used the guesthouse as a home base for the night. Very clean property and helpful staff. The free breakfast was a nice touch.

Miinukset: The property itself was a little hard to find. It’s very much tucked away, but only a few stops from Sapporo station.

Plussat: I liked Erry and Harry, they were pretty personable and really helpful. I also liked that I could cycle around on one of their bikes.

Plussat: Even if the location is a little bit out from the city center, the guest house is really close to a nearby subway line that takes you directly to Sapporo station and Oduri Park. The staff was very helpful and having a simple breakfast available was great to have for our early flight the next morning.

Miinukset: We stayed on the first floor and it would be nice to have more separation between the different futons. While walking to our Futon we could clearly see where others were sleeping and there was little space to put our clothes.

Plussat: Erry's Guesthouse was a very comfortable place to stay when in Sapporo. The staff were very helpful, and made breakfast every morning! The location was good, with plenty of restaurants and the like around, but a bit of a walk to the heart of the city. The Guesthouse is super homey and clean. There was no curfew, and we could use most of the appliances around the clock.

Plussat: A very comfortable common room and friendly staff.

Plussat: Living room

Miinukset: No

Plussat: Really clean considering it was a shared bathroom. Super friendly staff. Nice (but simple!) breakfast for free. Good location - a little out the centre but close to a metro station. Seemed good value for money. It was quite expensive for our 3 nights, but we stayed here during Sapporo snow festival when everything increased in price!

Miinukset: No way to lock the door to the room when we went out (only when we were inside). Didn’t have any issues with this but something to be aware of. We had the private room so access wasn’t needed by anyone other than us. Some walls were very thin, so whilst there are signs saying not to use the shower, hairdryers, and washing machine after 11pm, if you were next to the toilet as we were, then you hear everything at 1am!

Plussat: I felt it was like a home sweet home. Everything was clean and arranged well. It was good to stay with family.

Plussat: The fact that the toilets and bathroom prioritised women. Like, yes, finally, someone understands that they might take longer to get ready so let's make that less frustrating. Soothing choice of music.

Miinukset: There was a large gap between the mattress and the bed frame/wall, which I nearly put a limb into a few times.

Miinukset: I didn't like how it smelled, furthermore are the beds not really comfy.

Plussat: Very cozy, cheap, nice staff and good location. Home made breakfast is very nice. Clean toilets & bathrooms! Good for groups and solo traveller!

Miinukset: None

Plussat: It locates only 10mins walking from Nakajima-koen Station and Nakajima Park also. From Sapporo Station, only takes 3 stations to reach there

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Warm staff. Helpful instructions.

Miinukset: Upper bunk bed Is very close to ceiling beams. Was warned by staff. Okay as I am small size and manage to avoid hitting my head.

Plussat: The bed and blankets were super cozy. Great location with no traffic noise but still walking distance to main attractions and restaurants

Miinukset: The stairs however are steep and i slipped down them multiple times in socks!

Plussat: The living area and bathrooms were immaculately clean.

Miinukset: Very poor value for money.

Plussat: Friendly staff, free sandwich every morning for breakfast and in a really convenient location

Miinukset: Old building so no air conditioning which made it hard to sleep on the particularly hot nights, though there was a fan in the room

Plussat: The staff were so lovely and easy to get along with. Check in and out were super smooth. Nice and warm, beds were not super comfortable but the duvet was lush. It was very quiet and easy to slip in and out of the rooms quietly. Breakfast was simple supermarket sliced bread to toast and DIY eggs wth jam too. The lounge was super cosy!

Miinukset: The location is a little inconvenient but it was nice to see a different side of Sapporo and was very quiet.

Plussat: The staffs are very nice and friendly.

Miinukset: The shower room is a little small.

Plussat: One member of staff, I think his name was Iman was very helpful.

Miinukset: The room was absolutely tiny, no room to move, breathe or put bags. The toilets were dirty. There were only showers on 2 of the 10 floors. We had to pay for a key deposit. We were asked to wait to check in when we arrived 20 mins before the 3pm check in time. Then got to our room and all they had done is throw some sheets on the bed for us to make it ourselves. In terms of value for money, it was incredibly expensive for a tiny room, for which we had to make our own bed and have far away, dirty bathroom facilities. This place needs a lot of improving before I’d recommend it!

Plussat: I like the area it was located. The lounge and common area was wonderful. The reception always smelled nice. The staff was very pleasant and helpful.

Miinukset: We would love if the upper lounge was a little bit more well supplied. There were only a few plates and cups and we weren't sure if we could move some up from the 3F living room.

Plussat: Shared bathroom is super clean and common area is very cozy. Staff are really helpful, polite and patients.

Miinukset: Small space in the room walkway

Plussat: Location, facility and staff and free coffee

Plussat: very good and organized facility. great view from the lounge. very good quality and the staff is very very friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: There are hairs everywhere in the sink and also on the floor. An old bubble gum was stuck on the wood of the bed. It was very noisy in the room at night.

Plussat: The staff was fun and helpful, with a sense of humor. The beds were comfortable, and there was a lot of space in the bunk beds. The two lights in the bunks was also really nice. and the showers were always stocked and clean.

Miinukset: The walls were really thin, and the elevator was slow.

Plussat: The location is not in the shopping district, but it is their advantages because the traffic so quite. Most important is Muslim friendly utensil (frying pan, plate, etc) and the staff is very-very helpful, they try their best to meet our needs, such as for me A bicycle.

Miinukset: Only one elevator for the property with 10 floor, so need to be patient and it stop at 3th floor for security reason.

Plussat: Very nice and clean, the staff were so nice and helpful, lovely shared spaces.

Miinukset: The location isnt the best, not the kind of area you want to walk around in. Lots of abandoned buildings nearby. It's kind of a gem lost in what feels like a deserted town!

Plussat: Location was good

Miinukset: Very cramped. Air conditioning didn’t exactly work ( which we know isn’t the staffs’ fault). Facilities were not as good as some other back-packers that we have experienced. For an example, it was difficult to get hold of microwaveable crockery. Most of the crockery were plastic.

Miinukset: Please at least add tissue box in the room. I don’t know you don’t even provide free slippers...which is so inconvenient.
