Hostels in Hokkaido, Japan

The house design is beautiful, but the location is a bit far unless you have a car. The guesthouse serves food, and you can mingle with other guests. You can also play with the cats, though be careful with the three-legged one. The room is clean and comfortable.

The B&B's location is pretty good and convenient, with a convenience store right outside. The interior is beautiful and thoughtfully detailed. The front desk service was just okay, nothing special. The room itself was clean and tidy, but when we turned on the heater, there was a strong, persistent kerosene smell that was really unpleasant.

Cozy Inn is superb, can easily be reached by bus or by car. Plenty of parking spaces. Room is big and clean. Close to Aeon and Daiso. Walkable to the canal if you are not driving. Check in uses machine and strictly only after 3pm, so do not come early. Overall, I highly recommend!

Trip.com has always been my go to for travel bookings. Similarly this time to Niseko, decided to extend for an additional week and MyEcolodge came up in the search. I have to mention the checkin was seamless, but what I thought i booked, vastly differ from what was allocated for me. I thought what i booked was a room to myself however it turns out as a shared room. Its not a big deal but the feeling of misinterpretation leaves an awful taste. (Trip.com CS stepped in and helped to clarify things but theres nothing that could be done. peak season, and everywhere else is fully booked or without paying a premium) That said, the stay was good. MyEcolodge sits in a very convenient location just couple stops from Hirafu. Theres various buses including free shutters so thats really an ease off the mind) 7eleven, a small cafe, hotpot/shabushabu restaurant just sits across from you. The hostel also has their own cafeteria though ive never eaten there (food looks good though). They have a huge storage room for your gears, pretty safe so no worries. pantry, laundry room, washroom are pretty spacious and kept tidy. The room itself is fine, nothing to wow about. nothing to complain either. Towels are free and clean. Everything else you need to pay. Overall good stay. Pray hard you get nice room mates if youre sharing!

This hostel has a great location. Hokkaido University, with its excellent museum, is just a short walk north – I'd highly recommend checking it out. However, the room I stayed in had 20 beds on one floor, so if you're a light sleeper or sensitive to noise, you might want to look elsewhere. It's really more suited as a cheap, temporary place to crash.

酒店雖然不在湖邊，但是幾條火山徒步路徑匯合於此，門口還有公交車，所以還是很方便的。設施雖然比不上豪華酒店，但基本滿足需求。酒店門口有條通往金比羅山火口展望台停車場的路（圖1），雖然沒有在徒步路徑地圖上，但是瞭望洞爺湖和火山口的好地方，從酒店走去也就不到20分鐘，個人比較推薦。

It was pouring rain when I arrived, and still drizzling the next morning, so I decided to head back to Sapporo. I had initially planned to visit the Magic Terrace. This hostel is truly excellent; it even has a kitchen, and everything was spotless. The only drawback is that there isn't much to explore in the small town itself. It seems to be located near a ski resort, but I visited in September, so that wasn't relevant to my trip.

⭐️ Stayed in a mixed dorm room & was a bit worried at first - but pleasantly surprised at the end 💚PROS + staff is very kind and helpful and there is someone at the front desk almost all the time (night excluded) + they organize summer festivals and get-togethers with their Odori Park Partner Hostel + real big and comfortable beds & a lockable drawer + towel & 2 clotheshangers + clean showers & bathrooms + great showergels + washer & dryer + washroom area on 10th floor that’s usable 24/7 + nice and comfortable common rooms, with fridge, cooking- & washing area & free tea/coffee + great subway & bus connections + great attractions in walkable distance + rooms get cleaned daily & your bedding gets changed every 4 days ❤️🩹 CONS - would’ve loved more storage space next to my bed! 🌱 Really loved this hostel & spend my 8 nights there very comfortably! Most of my roommates were nice and abided by the rules set by the hostel - if i were to travel to Sapporo again, i would choose to stay there again 💗

The bed area was comfy and spacious, however on my second night I was staying there, I think the AC was turned off because it became really hot and humid inside the room and it was cooler out in the hallway than inside the dorm, which made it really hard to sleep. Cleanliness was not the best. The hallway leading to the hotel entrance was literally black with dirt, as if nobody had ever passed a mop there. People were also allowed to bring their outdoor shoes into the dorm, so the floors were not very clean. Don’t think they ever cleaned any of the floors with soap, but they did make sure the sheets were fresh and clean for new guests (I saw them do it), and they did pick up trash on the floor every day. Kitchen was minimal. There was no stove but there was a microwave and a sink but no cups or bowls if you planned to cook or eat there. There was a space under the beds to store your shoes which was nice. Overall, for the price and the location, it was worth it and I would return.

This was truly the best accommodation. Even during the Snow Festival, it was comfortable and pleasant to stay here (on weekdays). The capsule interior is spacious enough for a sturdy man to sleep comfortably, and there's a dedicated 110V outlet for charging. The property features an izakaya, mahjong tables, recliner rooms, a manga cafe, and a bathhouse with a sauna, all of which are of considerable quality. To use these facilities, you must wear the designated clothing provided. Toothbrushes, towels, and clothing can be received free of charge whenever you need them. Overall, perhaps because it's male-only, I was able to stay in a quiet atmosphere. However, occasionally there are female staff members who enter and exit the bathhouse for scrubbing or cleaning, so there's no need to be alarmed. If you request breakfast the day before, it costs 1000 yen; without a prior request, it's 1400 yen. The breakfast includes fish, meat, fried items, curry, drinks, dessert, and even crab. Finally, regarding the location: it's near Susukino Station, the largest entertainment district, making most restaurants and attractions easily accessible (Nikka billboard, Don Quijote, entertainment venues). Also, Odori Park is right nearby, making it perfect for enjoying the Snow Festival, and it's close to Sapporo Station, which is convenient for day trips to the outskirts. There's really no need to book a business hotel; for this price, this place is quite remarkable.
