    A little far from the metro and train stations.

    The room is big enough for two, and enough space to open my big suitcase. The desk is also long enough for two. The toilets and bathrooms are not far from the room. There are some restaurants and supermarkets nearby.

    However this hotel was not eco friendly enough to stay.For example,a lot of heaters were turned on even though no one used it.

    All staff are kind and friendly!! I’ve never stayed such hotels,but I was able to enjoy staying there. Thanks!!

    This is a very small thing, but it didn’t have a personal touch at all. There were new rotating staff every day, and it felt like they were just doing their job. Friendly enough, but not the same as a smaller personal hostel. For example, when I asked for recommendations, a staff member just said “oh you can see them over there”.

    Clean, comfortable, rooms and a nice lounge space with some free tea and coffee. Everything worked well, facilities were good. Recommendations for restaurants and cafes posted on a notice board and several booklets.

    - All's good! small issue is the room was too dark (the lamp inside the cubicle was too dim) i tripped couple of times when i tried to climb down/up from my bed on lights out times

    - the capsule bed was bigger than most capsule hotels i've ever stayed at - shared facilities - location is close to Sapporo station (you can walk if you want) - clean! - I got more than what i paid! Definitely will return here for my next Sapporo trip! Thanks Owl Hostel!

Kitchen small and functional. Good supermarket just around the corner. Useful iron for clothes. Did not use the washer/dryer facilities.

    Location is excellent. Really easy to get into Susukino and the main downtown zones. Clean and well kept, modern amenities. Large lounge which is great to relax in. Staff are some of the most helpful I’ve met in Japan.

    Big lounge, clean showers w/soap, shampoo, conditioner. Seico Mart convenience store across the street, supermarket on the same block as Wise Owl. Mr Tetsuya & Miss Suburu are especially nice.

    Nothing

    Everything was really clean and modern, the rooms, the showers, the toilets and also the lobby. The rooms were also amazing, a nice bed with a lot of room and with nice darkening curtains. The location is the best! Just on the outside of busy susukino. Also outside of the hostel is a tramstation, its like 2 minutes away. As last the workers where amazing, they really like to chat and meet new people. If you have a question they are ready to help and just really friendly.

    Someone was snoring very loudly on the bed right next to mine. I could still hear them snore with ear plugs on. I would have appreciated better separators or thicker walls.

    Clean, hip, young and nice common area. This id my second wise owl hostel in Japan.

    The only thing that it could have would be a place to lock your luggage during the day, it had a small safe box but one to put your main bag/ suitcase in would make the whole stay perfect.

    This is a great value for money place to stay and calling it a hostel is a stretch it is more like a nice hotel. with a dorm room setup. Everything was super clean and the main living area was great with a table tennis table even.

    It's a hostel, so unfortunately the experience depends a lot on who you share a room with. I had some difficulty sleeping due to other guests talking / rummaging through luggage at 2 or 3am, as well as a smelly bunk mate. But that's all to be expected when sharing a room.

    Very nice common area for cooking / working / relaxing. The staff were friendly and helpful. Convenient enough access to central areas and train stations. Beds felt very private. The rooms and showers are kept very clean. Doors to the room are protected by keycard access, and additionally there is a small wooden lock box by each bed. Laundry machines are available!

    Not the most comfortable capsule bed I’ve stayed in. The number of showers and toilets etc. seems low for the number of beds on each floor (but it was ok at the times i used it)

    Instantly made friends with everyone while I was waiting to check in. The staff are the friendliest I’ve ever met.

    The only issue I had with this hostel is the laundry facilities. there were only two washing machines and two dryers, one of each in the ladies bathroom and the men’s bathroom. Because of this, we spent a lot of time waiting for people to finish washing and drying so we could have our turn. Also, it was very expensive. One wash was ¥300, and a dry was ¥100. However, the dryers were really bad so we had to use them several times. Because of this, one load cost ¥900 in total.

    Everything was awesome.
