See what other travelers say about Play Mountain

Staying at Hostel Sapporo Hachijo Bettei was absolutely delightful. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a clean, modern vibe that makes you feel right at home. I loved how close it was to the subway station—just a short ride into downtown Sapporo—and the neighborhood has plenty of great local eateries and convenience stores nearby. The room was spotless, cozy, and had excellent bedding that made for a truly restful night’s sleep. The staff were friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with recommendations or questions. It’s rare to find such comfort and charm at this price point. I’m already planning my next trip to Hokkaido just so I can come back here again. Highly recommended!
