    Solid stay in Sapporo's nightlife district.
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Bunk Bed in Mixed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 4 nights

    A little bit of a hike from a subway station. The elevator also took a long time because it stops on the 2nd floor every single time going up and down. Seems to attract a lot of younger, party people which can be fun but sometimes caused issues with loudness.

    Nice shared space with lots of seating, cushions, kitchen, tables, sofa, bar, etc. and there were usually lots of people hanging out. Close to lots of restaurants and nightlife options nearby so great for younger travellers who like going out. Tons of convenience stores nearby for everything you need.

    The curtains of the bed bunks are a not closed at the top. Means you can look into the bed and the light is very annoyingly shining into your eyes. (So to improve there would be needed a small strip ot a second curtain above the existing one)

    Well equipped hostel. Very nice stuff and they even expected me to return the key by post, because I forgot to return it. Thats a big thumbs up!

    Not the hostels fault, but some of the dorms also have kitchen areas as well as the main kitchen downstairs, so someone was using the microwave at 1am in my dorm… which woke me up

    Good location, lovely clean hostel with good facilities!

    All these signs about fines and puking makes you feel like you entered prison. And charging extra for everything didn't help to change that.

    Very nice staff, as soon as you enter the lobby you feel at home due to their welcoming smiles and offered help

    The common room was a bit cold, sometimes hard to meet people as everyone kept to themselves most of the time.

    The cleanliness and coziness of the women's dorm was exceptional, especially with the sink and mirror inside the bedroom so I was able to wash my face / brush my teeth without leaving the room.

    If the room will have all beds occupied, it will be crowded with suitcases, but I don't think much can be done about it. Nothing to mention.

    The location is great: airport bus stop is less than 10 min walk; walkable to all main city attractions. Rooms don't have many beds, so that's good. Had sink inside the room. It's a quiet place. The reception/social area has good kitchen with free coffee and tea, cutlery. It's a good place to stay for a few days in this beautiful city.

    Very tight access to top bunk bed, not a lot of space to operate, very close to the person sleeping next to you. (But that's just me nitpicking)

    Clean, spacious hostel with friendly staff. Loved the common area. Would stay here again.
