    I expected drinking water in the facility. I expected a lock with each room. Alternatively, the existing lockers chould have been bigger to keep a luggage. The curtain is not big enough to prortect the privacy.

    The location of the hostel is close to the subway station and very good. The facility was clean. The staff are very friendly

    It was a bit of a ways out of the city centre, making it slightly cheaper. The walk to downtown proper was around 35-40 minutes which isn’t too bad if you don’t mind walking.

    Everything was very clean and comfortable. I had all the amenities that I needed and the beds had a good amount of privacy. The shower was exceptionally clean which was wonderful. The staff was extremely friendly, always greeting me when I came in, and always happy to chat or help out. One of the best hostels I’ve stayed at. Also the subway stop was a minute walk away which was extra convenient.

    Great location just opposite the subway station, with some nice Cafés and restaurants nearby. If you go one subway station further (Namboku line station nr 3) there is an even bigger choice of good locals and restaurants. In the hostel, there's a great Café with delicious breakfasts, coffee and must-have cheese cake and carrot cake. The bedroom was basic, the beds were comfortable and very clean.

    The bottom bed bunks are very low and because how it is built you have to crawl in and out of it. It isn't a big problem but people who are tall or have some mobility issues may find it difficult.

    It was extremely close to the subway station and there many convenience stores closed by. It's not vary far from the city center so even a taxi is not too expensive. The bed bunks provide some privacy.

    The bed was pretty rigid, and the pillow was uncomfortable. It would be fine for someone that sleeps on their back, but I generally sleep on my side and had difficulty sleeping through the whole night because of the discomfort. I kind of wish there was a task light in the bed area, so that I could read in bed. The provided lighting was okay, but not quite bright enough for reading.

    The location was great. It is right next to the subway, but if you don't mind walking, it's only a mile from Sapporo station/ shopping area. The price was excellent for the mixed dorm, and the staff was friendly. I also liked that the beds were in a little "pod" for added privacy. I had no issues with the showers either. Clean, good water pressure, and good temperature control.

    It’s a bit far from the main lively part of UENO but there’s a train station 5-7minutes away by foot where you can ride the train and go elsewhere

    It is clean and affordable. Can leave luggage with locks.

    The showers are quite small and there is only 4 shower rooms, which means sometimes you have to queue a little bit. My main issue with this hostel is that it seems to be the type where backpackers/travelers would stay and work for a few days and leave. The girl at reception was permanent staff I think, but the ones in charge of cleaning seemed to be people staying at the hostel. They were incredibly loud whilst cleaning and later as well in the common room, where they spent the rest of the day playing Mario Kart at full volume. Also one of them found it funny to play a VERY high pitched alarm at random times to confuse the Japanese staff and make them look everywhere for the source of the noise. It seems to me it the kind hostel where your experience is gonna depend a lot on who is the temp staff

    Location is great. It is 2 stops away from Sapporo Station and only 3 stops away from Odori Park (which is great if you are there for the snow festival). There is a 7-eleven 5 minutes away and a drugstore right in front. Bed is on the harder side but still comfy. It is decently clean.

    It would have been nice if the building had an elevator because we had a lot of bags and our room was on the top floor.

    I appreciated that the person who checked us in helped us up the stairs with our bags. The room was quiet and comfortable. The lounge is very pleasant and the hostel is in a great location.

    There was a strange smell in the women’s dorm. This was distressing. The locker box was very small and didn’t feel safe.

    The privacy of the bunk beds is fantastic. In the morning, the showers were always available

    The dorm floors are exposed concrete, which can be a little uncomfortable to walk on. However, it’s a very minor flaw!

    Really close to Hokkaido University, and it has an excellent kitchen should you want to cook! Beds are comfortable and provide a lot of privacy!

    I usually don't mind capsule-like beds, but I didn't like the style of this one. I also don't like when I have to do the bedding myself.

    The shared space was quite comfortable and the hostel was very clean. The location was also convenient, because it's very close to the subway. It was also quite cheap considering that I've stayed during the snow festival time.
