Great little hostel, right near a subway line and beautiful park. Friendly owner. The female dorm was small but comfy and had a good lock system, so you felt totally safe.

There was a common area outside the female dorm and there didn't seem to be a 'quiet time' policy, so people would be taking calls there past midnight. Location is also a bit out of the centre, so there's not loads of food places nearby but v near a subway to get to the centre

The hostel is a family business, and the owners and their son were all exceptionally kind and helpful, and offered a great recommendation of where to go for dinner. The place has an excellent vibe, and everything is very clean. Heavily recommend.

The sleeping arrangements are bunk beds with curtains, instead of capsules, allowing some light to spill out.

Been an amazing stay, didn’t expect the hostel to be so clean, in a great location & sooo comfortable! The owner Nathan will always go above & beyond to make sure you’re having the best stay. Really comfy & well setup socializing area with a little bar & some food available & breakfast! He cook delicious food with a lot of attention to details. Insane coffee, as good or even better than what you’d expect to find in Australia The mattresses are super comfortable (the best I had in Japan) & all the amities are kept clean & functional. Bonus if you get to meet the doggos, that was the cherry on top of the cake!!

An absolutely fantastic place to stay in Saporro! Just enough away from the craziness of the busy districts to have a really peaceful vibe, but close enough to get wherever you wanna go easily. Nathan and Zane who run the place are pretty much the best. So kind, cool and chill. They made my stay here fantastic. I’m a solo traveler on bicycle and it was really easy to get in and out of here and I loved my rest days at this hip and relaxed place. Will definitely be back! Highly recommend—and they’ve got a communal guitar in the very cool chillout room/bar area!

I booked a one night stay in a female-only dorm so I could see the Sapporo fireworks festival. The dorm was very clean, the bed was very comfy, and I slept really well. All the facilities were modern, clean and easy to use, and check-in was smooth. The lady checking me in was very lovely and friendly, and they have a dog who I met in the reception area which was very cute. The location was perfect for the fireworks, and the hostel is very quiet and peaceful as it's located in a suburban area near the park.

The place is a cozy hostel with an Amazing owner/host Nathan. I like booking Hostels to meet people from all over the world in the common area and this hostel provides and promotes that. Nathan went above and beyond connecting us and his guests. He even wrang up a tattoo artist friend, which turned into my brother getting a sporadic ramen tattoo ! (We rented the family room)

Because of the snow festival - the roads were a little hard to bring luggage down to the hostel from the subway - but the in house facilities were great.

This place is amazing! - The owner (and his family) are incredibly cool (we went partying together!) & helpful. - The hostel is well designed, not too big, has a nice outside terrace, a cozy common space, great bathroom/shower area... - Washing machine is free (that is particularly nice since some hostels seem to make money out of such a basic service) - the common space has a small restaurant & bar: food is simple but great & the selection of wines is great and not expensive. Music is playing, a guitar is available and dogs are welcome (the owner has a very nice one). - Because all of that, you meet a lot of cool & interesting people. The vibe is way better than most hostels i've been in Japan (where most people don't talk to you and/or are just salary/old men enjoying the cheap prices and that's it).

Nothing much to say here... I guess the only thing they could improve would be to have a proper space to cook for yourself (there are only a couple of bowls, a electric-kettle & a micro-wave). There is a fridge though. And, also, it's a bit far from the center (20-30min by foot depending on your speed & where you're going) but it's only a problem during the night as metro & tram are pretty close.

Great conditions, top level amenities, good location close to a subway station (there is a short walk and the path is not really lit at night at times, however I did not feel unsafe). Staff is very friendly and helpful.

The room had a strong smell of dirty and sweaty socks - it is a hostel so some smell is expected, but it was a bit disturbing. All amenities and premises are very clean though!

The location of the property was relatively close to the city centre! You can easily take the tram from the city to the nearest stop (Gyokeidori). The staff was very friendly and gave me a towel to use rent free. The facilities were clean and there was no hassle with keys or keycards because everything is locked with a digital lock.

What I did not like was the unlocking mechanism from the inside of the dormitory. People accidentally try to unlock the door the wrong way and thus an alarm sounds (which is very annoying when you’re trying to sleep or you waking up like that). The fault lies not with the property, however, it might not be a bad idea to inform the guests properly though, so annoyances like that don’t occur more frequently!

First off, Nathan, the owner is phenomenal. There is a fun vibe to the whole place. Everything was very clean when I was there, and very well kept. It is impressive.

This is not a knock on the accommodations, but it's a shared space. Unfortunately, through no fault of the owner, some of the roommates were pretty rude, having conversations at 2:00 am about their evening out. I don't mind them talking if they'd go out into a separate space where I wasn't trying to sleep. That having been said, I knew what it was when I booked it, and that's just a risk you take.
