Hostels in Hokkaido, Japan

The room was very clean and well-equipped with all amenities. There were guests from all over the world, and the front desk service was excellent. The location is incredibly convenient, right in the city center with a commercial street downstairs. The price is also very affordable, making it the perfect choice for solo travelers. I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit.

Extremely great stay! We stayed here for five nights. We would highly recommend Plat hostel Keikyu to all friends and family members. It's so clean and comfortable. We booked a twin bed room and we slept soundly throughout the five nights because it's quiet and pleasant. It is also located nearby Hosui Susukino subway station, yes, 150m away and just two minutes walk. Easy and convenient to explore Susukino as well as other attractions in Sapporo. This hostel also has a clean and well-equipped kitchen and dining area for in-house guests. The counter staff are all friendly and helpful, too. If we come again, we will definitely choose to stay here again. Thank you very much.

The location is very good. You can walk to Odori Park or Tanukikoji in 5 minutes. Check-in and check-out are simple and fast. The staff is friendly and can communicate in English. The bed is quite wide (can put 28” luggage), and the bed bottom is also spacious enough to put luggage. The check-in experience is good and not noisy. It is very quiet. The people staying are also polite and friendly. It is safe to have separate floors for men and women, and each floor has a toilet. To take a shower, you need to go to the common space on the 5th floor. There are 2 bathrooms for women (separated by curtains). There are supplies on each floor, which is very convenient.

Located right outside 18-jo Station, it's very convenient for subway users and those who have business at Hokkaido University. The staff were very friendly and the explanations were easy to understand. The building is clean, and the obvious places are generally well-cleaned. You can only go up and down by stairs, so it's probably best not to bring a big suitcase. The room looks cramped at first glance, but the bed frame is more spacious than other hostels and capsule hotels. The bunk beds are sturdy and don't creak when you move. There is a little space at the head and foot of the bed, so you can put a backpack or a small suitcase inside the space and it's neat and tidy. The only amenities provided are bath towels, toothbrushes and other items are available for a fee, but you need to bring your own slippers and loungewear. There are valuables lockers, and you can fit a normal-sized backpack (not full to the brim), so you have some peace of mind. However, the lock (combination padlock) is unlocked at first, so you can find out other people's numbers if you want to. This is a small security hole, so I hope the management will consider doing something about it. The shower space on the second floor is clean, but the bath mat (plastic slat type) made a sound like it would break when I stepped on it, so I moved with a bit of nervousness (although I think it could also be a weight issue...). Also, the faucet on the left side of the second floor bathroom was wobbly. I got home late at night, and there were people chatting happily in the free space on the second floor. However, their voices generally don't reach the rooms on the third floor, so you can get a good night's rest. The bedroom was quiet. The first floor is a free space during the day and night, but it seems they open a cafe in the morning, so I would have liked to have eaten there if I had had the time. Overall, I was very satisfied with my stay for the price. I would like to use it again next time.

For what it is, a cabin/hostel, it’s well done. The rooms clean, staff helpful. What makes this place stand out though is their sauna tent. At first I was in doubt how good this could be, but with the wood stove, the forest smelling steam, the resting areas and the cold pool, it made it actually one of the best sauna experiences in Japan. Seldom do you get to do your own Löyly like that. Not a lot in the neighbourhood though (in summer), so for us one night was perfect.

I used a five-day pass for my trip to Shiretoko Five Lakes, Abashiri, and Kushiro-Obihiro in Hokkaido. Obihiro is just over a two-hour drive from Sapporo, offering easy access to Kushiro Marsh and convenient transportation to Sapporo and Noboribetsu. The convenience of a single-person stay was the key reason I chose Obihiro. One minor complaint was the mixed-gender bunk beds on the first floor, and the lack of signage for the restrooms and showers was a major drawback. Breakfast was served in the lobby downstairs, and there were very affordable izakayas nearby. Jr. Obihiro Station is about a 700-meter walk away, and there's a bus to Koufuku Station right in front of the station. I love the Japanese countryside; every spot offers unique scenery and delicious food.

Need to walk around 20 minutes from Sapporo station. Hard to find since there is no sign or poster on the entry writing hostel . Rather cafe , after going 3 times round the block I finally read in small print ten to ten . 10 minutes away from any seven eleven or family mart, 30 minutes away from Ōdōri park , I found the location to be not ideal . On their website they write they have a laundromat , which is wrong . No washing machine , I find it disappointing in Japan where every hostels or hotels have one . The lady at the desk told me to go and wash clothes is quite far . Also don’t believe the photos on their website or promotions pictures . There is no park down the building . It’s a small hostel in a small street isolated from the rest of the neighborhood. For the hostel itself , classic , nothing to say except some of the curtains on their bed don’t close properly , the bed is very comfortable , bathroom clean and you can change towels every day . Breakfast is for free every morning at 8 and it is a coffee and a small bread . Still delicious . Staff is not always on the premises, morning and evening . In a nutshell. Was good for a short stay but will definitely look for another one with better equipment ( laundromat ) and better location ( closer to a family mart ) next time .

Loved the location, close to Day and Night life. Near NHK Tower, ”Central Park” Odori, Bus Center, and my friend's office bldg in view!! Most of all, I like to go eat at the City Hall cafeteria, every once in a while, plus free great view of the city from top floor, nice restaurant cafe up there, also. Question: You have a nice Kitchen on 4F, but no table to sit??. I will certainly Come again next time.

This is a youth travel that is not large in scale, mainly closed bunk beds, very clean, everyone has a small table for easy writing, if you need to borrow a folding stool from the outside, the facilities are still very complete. The service was very warm. I didn't speak Japanese. I also talked a lot with people with the translation software. The eldest sister at the front desk once taught bead calculations. I loved playing table tennis in my amateurs, haha. The next day, the eldest brother drove to the travel destination, thank you very much. Continue to stay next time, it is necessary.

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.
