Sapporo - January 2020
Nice, clean hostel with a couple of private rooms. Rooms are basic, but s good value for the price. Of note, the private rooms are on the fifth floor accessible by a steep, narrow staircase - we needed to repack ski bags for our flight the next morning and it was a struggle to get them to our room. Great restaurant on the first floor.

Close to the train station. Was clean. Only thing would be if you are sleeping in the dormitory bunk bed at the end of the room away from the aircon, it might be abit stuffy.

Aged Untapped
Untapped is about 12 blocks north of JR Sapporo Station. It is a safe walk about 20 mins however the quietness was pretty scary. I stayed at Annex Mixed Dormitory (2F) because I like the floor plan where I could place the 28" luggage next to the mattress! It is an aged property where furnitures and amenities are really very simple and basic (no complimentary bath towel. Shared hand towel is provided but I have concern on the hygiene. Only hand soap and cotton buds provided, not even tissue!!). Showers and wash basins are located on 1F at the main entrance where you are completely exposed. No privacy. Narrow and steep stairs where you will have difficulty with big luggage (28"). The dormitory is completely without any sound insulation (could hear munch, snoor amd every single footsteps, opened door, closed door!). Lots of insects especially mosquitoes. The bed linen had bugs too! Gosh! I could hardly walk bare footed as it is pretty dusty. The crew members at Annex seem rather shy, hardly any interactions with the guests, not even a "Ohayou". The images on the property look really new amd trendy however it is a disappointed stay. For a similar offer, I'd rather stay at the newly opened Gxxxx on 01 Jun 2017 located at Tanukikouji.

Cool place with warm service and great location.
The interior design is really amazing and the owner of the hotel was warm and helpful. Great location, few seconds to the subway station where you can get to the city centre in less than 10 mins. definitely recommend if you are a backpacker.

Convienent location
Hostel is just across the road from the subway station. Visible as you walk out. Stayed in bunks on the fourth floor, nice small space. Facilities are standard, depending on what bunk you're allocated the space differs, my friend had some space between the mattress the wall but I had all my luggage on the end of the bed.

Two stops from Sapporo make it a great base.
Staff is amazing, very friendly and go out of their way to help. Great design of the hostel. The location is beyond ideal. Many places write that they are close ,o a station or a short walk away. This one actually is. Two stops from Sapporo, walk up the exit stairs look across the street and there it is. I wish they were all that easy. I booked a bed in the dorm room. The bed is in a capsule style but is more roomy and serves it's job as a place to put your things well. Now for the bad, the bed was too firm and I mean firm. So if you are used to a soft bed this will be a surprise. There is a privacy curtain across the entryway to you capsule BUT and this is a big BUT, there is an open cutout which acts as a window in your sleeping area. It's wide open and leave a lot to be desired for privacy. I like the idea behind it that you can have a conversation with fellow travelers but it NEEDS a curtain or a hook so one can hang something there if they desire more privacy. I ended up buying some clips at the 100 yen shop and clipping up a tshirt for privacy. All in all a good value with a good location with only a couple of flaws.
