Sapporo International Youth Hostel

Location- a little far from the center, although a nice area to walk around. Large supermarket is within walking distance (go there in the evening for discounts). Staff- Super friendly, knowledgable, and English speaking when my Japanese no longer sufficed. Dining area is incredibly spaious, almost having a bookstore/library vibe as it was super quiet and had people reading the newspaper. Outside drinks and food can be consumed. They also have a small kitchen area that may have additional items you are looking for. Patrons- For being a youth hostel, I saw a lot of people older in age staying here. Nothing wrong with that. It just was a little surprising at first. Bathroom/Shower- Enough of both to accommodate the travellers. They were also clean with no concerns. Price- super affordable for a 4 bed dorm. Downsides-There were 4 single beds randomly arranged in the room, with no small desk, partitions, lamp or other personalizations. I'm not looking for much, but providing basic amenities to travellers would be great as would be even a small semblance of privacy. Also, bed mattress was too thin allowing me to feel the springs of the mattress.

Clean and welcoming. I had single room as a solo traveller and it was incredibly good value. Right next to the subway so it takes less than 10 min to get to downtown. The place was really clean. The only thing I could have wished for was showers on each floor. The showers are on the ground floor. No meals, but there are several conbini close by, and there's a kitchen.

We stayed in this hostel during winter festival 2025 in February. Very polite and friendly personal. They stayed longer to allow us to register when our flight got delayed. Clean and comfortable room with air conditioner. Relaxing japanese bath. Subway station is 5 minutes away, konbini is also 5 minutes away. Will stay again, if I visit Sapporo.

The hostel very clean and provide kitchen for us to cook simple supper. They provide parking and charged yen700.

clean, big enough room and convenient!　the best deal in sapporo~

Sadly several factors were less than ideal. For starters, having to pay for a towel is a bit ridiculous. Second, the curfew of midnight is ludicrous as there could easily be a code instead of forcing guests to be back like they are children. Third, the lack of outlets near the bed was disappointing to say the least. Fourth, the AC is set to not go below 22 Celsius, meaning the room was still hot at night. Definitely would not come back here

The location of the hostel is just 5 mins walk from the subway. And it's 15mins ride from Sapporo JR train station. The room is clean and warm enough during winter. The best part is there have a hot bath at the basement. After you spend whole day travelling around it's so good to soak yourself in a hot bath. They also have super clean shared toilets, a small kitchen and dining area. The price is consider cheap.

We booked this hostel from Nov 07-11 2018 because of the following:||1. Proximity of the hostel to the subway (about 2-minute or less walk)||2. Access of this hostel from the New Chitose Airport by Train and Subway (About 35-45 minutes total)||3. The very good hostel rate per night as compared to other hostels in Sapporo||4. The cleanliness of this hostel is relatively very good!! I can not complain!||5. The comfort of having two separate beds in the room (Not bunk beds)||6. The hostel is situated in a very quiet location. Far from main roads and noisy street||7. The onsen bath at the basement is nice and clean.||8. Overall -- I would be staying in this hostel again ||||Tip : From the subway Gakuen mae -- go to exit 2. Soonest when you exit ( either by using the elevator or the escalator) turn to your left and just immediately after the exit you will see a small ally with plenty of bikes parked --- go straight ahead and in less than 2-minutes you will see the hostel building. I hope this will help you guys alot as it is tricky to find the hostel not unless someone will teach you.

very cheap hostel but it is very convenient (2-minute walk from subway), clean and nice service (but they have curfew at midnight though) highly recommended!
