    There’s no sound proofing in the building. And we were just unlucky to have some inconsiderate guests around our room that being so loud after midnight.

    The location was pretty good. Close to stations and shops. I love the recommendations wall that full of information about Sapporo and around. Staff were friendly.

    The initial impressions weren’t good. There’s so many negative signs about fines and fees that you don’t enter feeling excited to visit. The shared whatsapp grouo seems to be dead, even though its a good idea. Perhaps encourage events and competitions every other night just to get people to hang out in the shared space.

    The bunk beds aren’t bunks, but have stairs to get to the top. It’s like a cross between a capsule and a hostel. They have a great notice board with all the major tips for locations, recommended food places and that makes visiting Sapporo so much easier. The two evening shift workers are really friendly and chill, they really want to build up a community where people can make friends and meet other guests in the shared living spaces.

    Luggage storage is not secured and on own risk. A camera there would solve this problem.

    It is clean, personal is friendly, bed is comfortable. Great location. One of my better Hostel stays. Absolut top for the price.Will not be my last time. Luggage storage is possible before and after the stay in the same days.

    Cosy hostel in Susukino
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Twin Room with Shower
    • Stayed 5 nights

    The bedrooms are a little bit dark but this was not a big issue for us, and the room could do with more hanger space for your towels/coats/jackets (especially in winter!).

    Located in the heart of Susukino, just about 10 mins from the actual center. The staff were all nice and friendly, thank you to Sota, the young lady wearing glasses and the man with the short shaved hairstyle for your help! We booked the twin room with ensuite shower-the room itself is cosy and the beds were very warm and comfy, we especially loved the clean shower that had hot water, shampoo, conditioner and body soap (they smelled so nice!). As it's a hostel, the toilets are located outside of the room which takes some getting used to but otherwise it was fine. The common area with pantry was cosy as well, they provide tea and coffee bags! I liked their cute posters on the wall describing all of the neat things to do/eat in Sapporo/Hokkaido.

    It is a bit far from Susukino Station and Central area with a 10 minute walk.

    I like how the beds were so comfy even I need to make my bed by myself on my arrival. The rooms are quiet as you can sleep comfortably. You can reheat your bento or cook a food in your own at their lounge

    My room was kinda stinky. I am not sure if it was just the other guests or if ventilation is bad.

    Best price I found for the winter festival. Location is really good and central. Staff helped me out a lot.

    A toilet and a kettle in the room would have been most ideal, but also totally fine using the shared ones. Also nowhere to hang wet towels- very minor things.

    Handy location, a lot of privacy in private despite being a hostel. Lovely staff.

    The shared toilets were seemingly left uncleaned for days. Someone should probably schedule a clean on them everyday.

    It was the winter festival that time. The location was very close to the suskino ice sculptures. The shared bathrooms also were nice.

    Some of the kitchen devices were a bit dirty and could use more cleaning, but I guess the guests are also to blame on that.

    Great location and nice installations. The capsule-style beds were quite comfortable and offered some privacy as well.

    I wish there was an area where you could change clothes as it’s a little inconvenient going all the way to the toilets or shower rooms where there once again isn’t any room to change. If you’re unlucky like me your rooms also gonna smell like feet due to the inappropriately placed shoe boxes inside the bed frame itself which most people don’t even use and just put their shows right in front of the beds. Some sort of a better ventilation system would be great but hey, can’t have it all.

    The place has a super convenient location a short walk away from a subway station. There’s a little smoking area downstairs by the entrance if you’re in need of that and the check-in and check out process is overall very simple and quick. The beds are also surprisingly comfortable and you have a little sink in the room to brush your teeth, wash your face and fill up your water bottle. I like that the sleeping nooks also have a security box you can lock your valuables into.

    I was expecting it to be more of a social hostel, but people mostly kept to themselves. (Which could be good or bad depending on what you’re looking for).

    Convenient location, clean, had everything you need, lots of recommendations posted on the wall for Sapporo as well as other cities in Hokkaido

    The floor was a bit dusty when I arrived. On the floor level I stayed, there was only one shower room for men, serving about 8-10 rooms. Although I didn’t experience the queue, I can imagine it could get quite busy during peak hours.

    This was one of the largest rooms I stayed in during my vacation in Japan. The bed was comfortable, and the room included a good-sized table, chair, and minibar. You also have an ample floor space to pack your luggage. The lounge area on the second floor lobby was clean and well-organized. Right across the street, there’s a convenience store for all your needs, including late-night cravings. Lastly, their staff are very attentive to your needs.

    There was really nothing worth mentioning. However please understand this is a non smoking property (a bonus to me) however someone did smoke and set off the fire alarm at 7 in the morning which meant we all had to evacuate to the snowy streets (February in Sapporo) and wait. The fire brigade arrived, in 9 fire engines, and searched the building thoroughly before declaring it safe. Please don't be that person who thinks they can smoke there.

    The hostel is relatively new and is well thought out. The beds in the dormitory room were solid and comfortable. There is a small locker in each bed space for your item. I could fit my small backpack in there. No padlock is required as a key and lock is provided. Showers were good and had enough dry space for changing and dressing something that is often overlooked in a hostel. I did not use the kitchen space but it seemed adequate.
