Grand Hostel LDK Sapporo

Has 2 awesome lounges! The one on the 10th floor as almost a 360 degree view of sapporo. They have a big kitchen on the 3rd floor as well as a smaller one on the 10th. There are cheap washing machines and dryers as well as showers on every floor so you never have to wait for your turn. The beds are very big, I basically had a double bed in my dormitory. There is also loads of space to put your luggage and even a draw with a padlock that you can lock your valuables in. Speaking of security, to get to your room, you have to use your swipe card to go through two doors! So it’s probably the safest place to stay too. The staff were insanely friendly and helpful when I had questions about the area. Easily the best place and cleanest place I’ve stayed in all of Japan. It even has a pizza store on the ground floor and a 7-11 and aeon grocery store 30 seconds walk away. All of this, AND it’s gotta be the cheapest place I’ve stayed in japan too!

Unlike in other hostels I had a lot of space for my stuff, because it's not just a the bed with a curtain, but a whole small room (divided by curtains) - gives some nice privacy Really nice lounge spaces in the 3rd and 10th floor

Clean. Helpful and friendly staff. Good lounge space on 3F and 10F. Self-service laundry (for a fee) on 10F. Space bed capsule with a small lockable compartment. Great kitchen available on 3F and 10F, but they serve breakfast on 3F in the morning and the kitchen there is closed during this time. Showers were clean but not really enough cubicles for when the hostel is full.

The staff were very helpful during my stay. I spent a lot of my time in the shared facilities, and I liked that there were showers, sinks, and toilets on every floor but we were still allowed to use the top floor facilities late at night so that it wouldn't be a bother to the other guests staying in the floor.

I didn't expect to extend my stay because I initially planned to sleep in the airport while waiting for my early morning flight, but I ended up doing so. My stay was significantly better during my extension, for I slept in an all-girls room. It was my first time sleeping in a top bunk, but it was very comfortable. Only one pillow is given, but the duvet serves as a good pillow.
