    Perhaps some hooks to hang clothes in the shower room as it's none in the room we stayed in.

    Very nice stay. Easy access to many different places. I liked the room design too. Common area is cozy. Helpful staff.

    Not the hostel's fault, but a few guests leave a mess or ignore the signs in the kitchen to put away the dishes and refill the kettle. Please use common spaces respectfully.

    We stayed at Wise Owl Hostel in Sapporo for 4 nights in December 2024, in a private two-single-beds room. Check-in is 16:00-0:00 but you can check in early (before 16:00) or late (after 0:00) for a 1000円 fee. Upon checking in, you can choose two free items from a list (e.g. razor, body sponge). The room was spacious and comfortable, with a desk, chair, coat hanger, mini-fridge, bedside table, sink with hand soap, tissues, lamp, mirror, and bath/face towels. You must bring your key card with you, it is a 1000円 fee if you get locked out. The showers/toilets were shared, and I wish I had thought to bring slippers so that I didn’t have to put on my shoes every time I left the room. The showers provided shampoo, conditioner, body soap, and hairdryers. The common spaces on the 2nd floor are comfortable and spacious. The kitchen has a large shared fridge, stove, microwave/oven, toaster oven, kettle, rice cooker, cutlery, glasses, mugs, plates, bowls, paper towels, dish soap, cutting boards, knives, pots and pans, free instant coffee, sugar, filtered water, and black tea. There are many tables, chairs, a couch, a TV, a Switch, and a ping-pong table. The hostel also has a bar with many drinks for 500円, or all-you-can-drink for 2200円-- but watch out, if you vomit in the sinks you will be charged 30000円. The location is great, too. There is a 24-hour convenience store across the road, and an affordable 24-hour supermarket, Dinner Bell, on the same street block. It’s close to many restaurants. It’s a 5-minute walk from the entertainment/restaurant district Susukino, and a 20-minute walk from Odori Park. It’s well-placed for taking the tram or bus as well.

    I don’t know if a regular occurrence but it was extremely noisy at night. We were by other guests at 12.20am who proceeded to scream and shout for the next couple of hours making sleep impossible. It could be a party place where people stay but I haven’t experienced this level of disturbance and noise in other hostels and it would not usually be permitted.

    The room was clean and had a good bathroom but no kettle in the room

    I couldn’t sleep well because the floors and walls are so thin, I could hear people stomping and talking.

    Even though it’s a hostel, they have a private room with double bed and the room was quite spacious.

    I like that it’s conveniently located to many convenience and grocery stores. Their facilities are fantastic and consumables like tissue/soaps are replenished all the time. Their instructions are also clear making it so easy for us to follow. Indeed a perfect spot for solo travelers! Ps. I am a female and I really felt safe staying here.

    it's weird, everywhere you look there is a sign saying something you can't do and a high price for a fine.. just not welcoming, lots of rules that they don't enforce.. staff was also not really welcoming, didn't feel right.

    The staff can be a bit more friendly imo. I have nothing to complain about.

    I enjoyed my stay here. The faculty is newly renovated. The location is also good. It's just a few minutes walk to Susukino, Odori and main train station. The whole facility is clean and well taken care of. I will definitely come back to this place.

    For the price they offer, nothing much to complain. Do hope they will fix the problem with the toilet on second floor tho

    Subaru, Harry and Hina was really nice 👍👍 They have bar area too which makes it easier to socialize with others.

    super nice staff, very comfortable beds with curtains and walls, light and outlets at each bed, clean, steps to get to the upper bunk; small but sufficient lockers for money and laptop; great location near a supermarket, (food discounts after 7 or 8 pm), liquor/beer store and convenience stores; also near the airport bus stop, and town center. Next to a tram stop. free coffee, or black tea; big sunny lounge and kitchen. free luggage storage. big fridge for food storage. Filtered water so we can save on plastic and money. I was really happy there and will return.

    The floor I was staying had its washer dryer removed. The other main issue they wear not considerate of people who are big and can not feet small walkways to the top bunk. Please be considerate when giving rooms.

    3mins walk from train that runs clockwise. Has a kitchen has washroom and bathroom in each floor.

    The hostel is super well-located. I could walk to go everywhere I wanted. The room is quite big. We have a large space to store our luggages. The bed comes with a locker. The common room is also quite big. There are chill musics in the evening which makes it comfortable. The kitchen has many ustensils which makes it perfect for cooking. There were enough showers, I have never waited. The staff was so nice. They helped me when I had a problem.
