Sappolodge Guesthouse - Sapporo

Really nice atmosphere and very cozy. Downstairs is a small restaurant that seems quite popular in the evening. The shower rooms are pretty standard and come with soap, but there is a set time that you are allowed to shower. You'll need your own towel too. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The bed is cozy and the room and provided bedding is enough to keep you warm (if you're visiting in the middle of winter like I am). Overall great experience.

Good staff, very open about suggestions and what to do in sapporo. Bar stays pretty quiet at night and there are slight miscommunications at times. Beds are a little stiff but are better than the common hostel in Japan. Bar and food is open to till late which gives you some options. Might feel weird at night due to the bar but gives you a place to return to pretty close to Susukino, which is up to you whether you like it or not. The place is spotless though. Overall a pretty pleasant experience.

Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. If you came here to party and stay up late, good. If you came here to sleep: bad! Noisy all night. Staff might even bust into the rooms at 11 pm turn the lights talk loud, then exit without shutting the door or turning the lights back off. Just sayin

We stayed here for two nights the hostel was very cozy and had a nice bar with friendly English speaking staff. The location is prime too since it's only a short walk away from Susukino which has lots of good restaurants and bars. I definitely will be staying here the next time I come up to Sapporo!

Cleanest hostel I've been in yet. Some time restrictions to allow for cleaning crew but easy to navigate and well worth it. A staff and location. Hope to come back in winter to get beta from staff on backcountry. Good vibes while retaining authentic Japanese feeling.
