Ten to Ten Hostel

Convenient location to Sapporo station but cleanliness can be improved.

Need to walk around 20 minutes from Sapporo station. Hard to find since there is no sign or poster on the entry writing hostel . Rather cafe , after going 3 times round the block I finally read in small print ten to ten . 10 minutes away from any seven eleven or family mart, 30 minutes away from Ōdōri park , I found the location to be not ideal . On their website they write they have a laundromat , which is wrong . No washing machine , I find it disappointing in Japan where every hostels or hotels have one . The lady at the desk told me to go and wash clothes is quite far . Also don’t believe the photos on their website or promotions pictures . There is no park down the building . It’s a small hostel in a small street isolated from the rest of the neighborhood. For the hostel itself , classic , nothing to say except some of the curtains on their bed don’t close properly , the bed is very comfortable , bathroom clean and you can change towels every day . Breakfast is for free every morning at 8 and it is a coffee and a small bread . Still delicious . Staff is not always on the premises, morning and evening . In a nutshell. Was good for a short stay but will definitely look for another one with better equipment ( laundromat ) and better location ( closer to a family mart ) next time .

この宿に関しては、まずチェックインの段階で好き嫌いが分かれると思います。 スマホがあれば、入口のタブレットQRコードをかざして簡単にチェックインできるのですが、私のように、スマホばかりに頼るのが嫌いで、スマホを持たない主義の者にとっては、別画面でスタッフとズームでやり取りして、みたいな作業が非常に面倒くさくて、個人的には腹が立つレベルでした。 なぜ、世の中はスマホがないと何もできないような仕組みにだんだんとなってしまっているのでしょうか？ その点が私は腑に落ちないので、このタイプの宿にはリピート宿泊はあり得ません。 ただ、ホテルの仕様に関しては、清潔感もあり、特に問題はない感じなので、スマホ派の方にはお勧めできる宿だと思います。 立地的にも札幌駅から歩いてすぐですし、お値段もリーズナブルです。
