Excellent location and budget friendly. Space is lot bigger and more comfortable than a capsule hostel. Amenities like toothbrush, toothpaste, cotton swabs, razors, etc. are provided. The coin machine alrdy has detergent so no need to buy. Staff are friendly.

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,
