The staff were courteous and helpful. The capsule was large enough to sit up in if you're 5'7 or less. It was clean, sheets & towels were provided. The beds were hard and the showers would intermittently go ice cold. Not ok when you are in the middle of your shower & all covered with soap. There needs to be a way to deal with inconsiderate guests. There were several extra noisy guests, but no-one to handle them. It's probably ok when compared to other hostels, but it didn't work well for us.

Very central place. Quite minimalistic
compared to other cabin hotels in japan. Toilets and sinks are at the same floor as the beds, therefore it can be quite noisy at peak times. Enough storage space.
Some staff could not speak english, but was able to communicate via Smartphone translator. Overall good place to stay.

“🌟🤩 Outstanding Stay at Helio Hostel! 🏠☕ My visit to Sapporo for the Snow Festival was made unforgettable thanks to this amazing find! Helio Hostel, perched above a charming coffee shop, is a dream come true for travelers 🧳🌨️.
Nestled in the heart of the city, it’s surrounded by shopping 🛍️, delightful food options 🍜, lively music 🎶, and entertainment, all within a stone’s throw from a serene park and convenient public transport 🚆🌳. The ease of hopping on and off the train was a huge plus 🚂👍, especially for exploring this beautiful area.
Strolling through a nearby mall, I was amazed by the array of local treats - from sweet delicacies to cheese and milk products 🍰🧀 - a true feast for the senses!
The hostel itself is a gem 💎🛌. Spacious and well-equipped, it boasts an incredible staff - who even guided me to a local restaurant for some authentic culinary delights 🍣🚶♀️.
The jazz music playing for two nights straight was soul-stirring and heartwarming 🎷🎵, adding to the already vibrant atmosphere of this treasure trove.
For those concerned about public transportation, fear not! 🚎👜
There are several options to reach the hostel with luggage.
While I initially opted for luggage delivery, I ended up taking my luggage with me due to the snowy weather ❄️🧳.
Discovering an airport limousine bus stop just around the corner was a lifesaver 🚌✨. For just $15, you can enjoy a comfortable and secure ride from Sapporo Airport straight to Hotel ABest,
일본 호스텔은 처음이었는데 전체적으로 조용하고 좋았습니다.
위치가 스스키노와 삿포로 역 사이에 위치하고 있어서 삿포로 계탑, 스스키노 등의 접근성이 매우 좋습니다.
시설도 오픈한지 얼마 안된듯 매우 깨끗하고 관리가 잘됩니다.
침대 옆 사이드에 머리카락 등의 청결 관련 조금 아쉬운 점이 있었지만 커버 등을 제공해주기에 그다지 신경쓰이는 부분은 아니었습니다.
직원들도 일본답게 매우 친절했고, 다음에 또 삿포로에 온다면 방문할거같습니다.
