This oddly upmarket youth hostel – which looks like a modern apartment building – is great value, though it's a little out of the way. Both Western- and Japanese-style private rooms are available, as well as 'dorm rooms' featuring four full-sized beds that double as family rooms. It fills up quickly; be mindful of the midnight curfew.
The hostel is just two minutes from the subway station, behind the Sapporo International Student Centre.
