The Stay Sapporo

The biggest, funniest and nicest local hostel in Hokkaido.

Great location for snow&ice festival

Reviewed By TalithaMM

Room temperature was ok, but it could get pretty cold anywhere else. Except lounge on 10th floor, very nice. Breakfast is served on 3rd and so in that time you can you use the 10th floor, but there is no toaster, only a microwave. They could empty the trash more often and maybe put a small trashcan in the showerrooms. Only one elevator and stairs can only be used from 3rd floor down. Good location, especially for the snow&ice festivals. But also close to public transportation, convenience store. Friendly staff. Nice lounges. Beds pretty comfortable. Good size locker for valuables. Check in and out process quick and easy. English speaking staff and map/brochures available.

The Share Hotels HakoBA Hakodate

Great deal and location

Reviewed By 1001Mun

We had a wonderful time here. The room was very spacious for this price and it’s within walking distance of the red warehouses and many of the old buildings in town, plus the ropeway to go up Mt Hakodate. You can take the tram from Hakodate station and get off at Jujigai (十字街) to get close to this hotel. From there it’s an easy walk. The staff were also very friendly. I highly recommend this for a stay in town.

SappoLodge

The most convenient and comfortable guest house in Sapporo. SappoLodge is based on a concept of a lodge in urban area. There is a bar full of the warmth of the wood on the first floor, so that all the guests can communicate with other guests and locals. The owner and all of the stuffs living in Sapporo can suggest you some good spots which are not put on a guide book. Plus you will get some exciting information from locals at the bar. We provide a bigger bed space than general guesthouses, so that we've got a lot of good reputation from guests with big baggage's who stayed here for a ski trip and those guests who came from other countries. As all the bedding are down-filled quilt made in Japan, we bet you will have a good-deep sleep. We have a lot of comfortable room. Men's dorm and Female's dorm is large type. Also mix dorm is standard type. Apart from that Japanese-style private room. This room can stay to 1-3 people/room. And private room with twin bed. This room can stay to 1-people/room. We hostel bath-room and shower-room is common. and we have common washstand too. You can choose the best room!! Plus it is 2 minutes walk from Hosui-Susukino subway station. There is also a convenience store located to the near distance of a 1-minute walk. From SappoLodge it is within walking distance to a lot of places. In addition, it is the best in the origin of the journey so close bus and train station.

Lovely place and great food.

Stayed here for 2 nights while exploring Sapporo. Lovely hostel with firm beds. Bar and restaurant serves great food and does stay lively until midnight most nights but they give free ear plugs. Recommended.

Niseko Tabi-tsumugi Backpackers

Niseko Tabi-Tsumugi Backpackers is the small backpackers hostel opened in January 2011. It is a good base for solo traveller and small group who enjoy one's own style travelling.Located behind Kutchan train station. A grocery store, restaurant district, town park, hot spring(onsen) nearby. Not touristy area. It's more local, peaceful and a great view of Mt.Yotei.Free drop off every morning to Hanazono Ski Resort in winter and to Mt.Yotei in summer.From ¥3,000/per person per night

Great Base for Outdoor Activities in the Kutchan Area

Reviewed By A5137CRsimonl

I stayed for 2 nights with the goal to climb Mt Yotei, the volcano which overarches the whole region with its beautiful conical shape (photo shows the view of it from the hostel) . Everything about the hostel was perfect - it was clean, and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. I got the free shuttle service at 6am(!) to the trailhead and in the evening the owner also took me to the local Onsen. The service was exceptional and way over the top than what you would expect from a backpacking hostel. Thank you!

悪くはない

Reviewed By sinb32

悪くないですよ! でも、素泊まりお値段を考えれば(4000円ちょい)を考えればあえてここに泊まらなくて良いかな? 普通にビジネスホテルの個室に5.6千円で泊まれますからね。 リピートはしないかな。

This hostel is really value for money if you plan to sleep in Furano. The location is near the JR train station so it's very easy to get here. The service staff can speak English and they are extremely friendly.

概ね納得価格ですが、個室の選択肢があったらベリーベストのゲストハウス。近くにコンビニも観光施設も日帰り入浴可能な温泉もあって便利。 トイレはウォシュレット付いてるし、シャワーブースもまんべんなくあって清潔感有って素敵な宿です。 洗濯の際は有料のようです。洗剤代も別。

フレンドリーなスタッフの対応が良かった

Reviewed By marinepolaris

周辺のホテルが満室だったので利用。稚内のホテルは1人旅には不向きなホテルが多い中、手ごろな値段で泊まれるホテルがあって助かった。2020年6月オープンということもあり、ゲストハウスは新しく、設備も充実していた。また、気さくなオーナーとの会話も弾み、楽しい滞在となった。

Lovely little hotel in rural Hokkaido

Reviewed By GLKLLCIO

I normally don’t do places with shared bathrooms by this was the most conveniently located accommodation near the train station. For the price, I was pleasantly surprised by how new it was and that breakfast was offered. I really enjoyed my stay and the English speaking staff. It is simple and the rooms are tight but it is worth it if you’re just trying to see the fields or the famous aoi ike/ blue pond. There is a bus nearby that will go by the pond and other sites. However the schedule is aggressive (only 15 minutes at the pond before the next bus leaves) so I suggest taking a taxi. They charge 7000 yen for 1.5 hours or 9500 for 2 hours since it takes a while to get there and back. Most taxis in town have this course that you can choose from.

料理が秀逸っ!

Reviewed By TAKA-JPN

麓郷の森の近くにあるお宿、ここ、凄かった!!!宿の御方の対応、客室ともに心地よく、そして料理が凄いんです。富良野や北海道の素材がふんだんに使われています。ひとつひとつ丁寧に調理されていて、優しい味わいが伝わってきます。よくぞこれだけの品数を、これだけ丁寧に作ったものだなぁ、同行者とともに感激しましたよ。じっくり煮込まれた具沢山なカレー、野菜がたっぷり使われたスープ等々。大満足でした!!またお邪魔したい、そんな一軒がひとつ増え、嬉しい限りです。
