Simple but very nice hotel located just a short walk away from Asahikawa Station and restaurants. I really liked the vibe of the hotel, with personal-feeling decorations like a traveller's map, little flags put up at reception to indicate the nationalities of the guests that day, a fun lounge at the front of the lobby area, and a little souvenir shop at the back of the lobby area. I also really liked that there was an area with coin-operated laundry machines (washer + dryer). The staff were also very friendly, and the breakfast, while just a simple tamago kake gohan, was delicious. The room was clean and comfortable too, as were the shared bathroom facilities. Really enjoyed my stay here and would definitely stay here again if I visit Asahakiwa again in the future.

Can't think of anything; it was great!

very clean, showers were hot, ample soap / shampoo / conditioner, slippers provided, hairdryer, ear plugs and free toothbrush available, bed linen was clean and blanket was thick, walls were thick enough I wasn't disturbed at night by sounds from neighbours. 3 washing machines (no need to add soap) available which only accept coins but staff readily changed my notes for coins. no need to share the room even though it's a bunk bed, they just give you the whole room for one person. great location just 5min walk from the JR station and aeon. really like the free breakfast, supper and hot/cold water at the counter

the room is teeny tiny. it's just nice for one person although there are 2 beds. if your suitcase is too big you wont be able to open it in the room

Great location and the facilities exceeded all expections for a so-called hostel. Apart from shared bathrooms, this could easily be a regular hotel which everything you need for a comfortable stay. Even had a station to wax and edge your skis or snowboard. Location is incredibly convenient. Close to the station and plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. Staff provided great recommendations for places to eat. The common area was quiet and had a great bar with excellent selections. Breakfast was simple but really good for a big day ahead. Bathrooms and rooms were clean and tidy. Couldn't hear noise from neighbours (but more about that later). Simple check in and out and luggage storage.

Got woken up early in the morning by snow tricks so noise from outside. Hardly 9C's fault and didn't really affect me since I can fall back asleep quite easily but just bare that in mind if you are a light sleeper. As mentioned above, there was no noise from neighbours and only for that short time from outside from a very noisy thing.

I had a great stay at 9C. You get your own private room with bunk beds and a desk, which made for a really comfortable experience. I slept so well here! Everything was clean, and the staff were lovely and welcoming. The included breakfast was a nice bonus, and their custom map of Asahikawa is incredibly helpful—I’d definitely recommend downloading it for all their local recommendations. The location is also excellent, just a short walk from the train station. Overall, I’d highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting Asahikawa!

9 C felt like a home away from home from the moment you stepped in the hotel. This was just a stop over stay for us but we immediately wished we could stay longer. The staff were super helpful and friendly and there were so many details thought about around the property to help make your time there more comfortable. There was also plenty of showers and toilets on each level, so you never had to wait for amenities. The property is located a street back from the train station and there’s plenty of eateries located a short walk from 9C.

The hotel is located 5 minutes from Asahikawa train station. The bus stop for Asahiyama Zoo is not far. Tokiwa Park is easily reachable on foot, it’s only 20 minutes walk away. The common area is VERY cosy. There is also a small space where it is possible to store the luggage. The bar offers both hot drinks and also alcoholic drinks as well as some small food options (sweets).

Everything was good!

Everything was so clean and the staff so nice. The hostel feels really comfortable and open to everyone. The breakfast was nice and they even proposed a "late" meal, which is some instant noodles but I think that was really nice of them. I also tried their croffle and it was good. I had a really enjoyable stay there. I will definitely come back on my next trip to Asahikawa

The only small thing is that I felt a lack of light in the room, it was too dark for me.

Excellent location, very convenient for bus, train and exploring Asahikawa. Staff friendly and attentive. Cafe on sight that makes delicious hot chocolate with marshmallows, and equally delicious ginger tea. Free breakfast. Free coffee and tea. Sound proofed rooms, spotlessly clean shared toilet and shower facilities. Comfortable bed and room.

Absolutely nothing.

One of the best hostel I’ve visited in Japan yet. The personnel is kind, breakfast is simple but filling, the room was great, everything is clean

My only complaint is that the AC is right on top of you if you sleep in the upper bed of the bunk beds room. It’s a bit noisy and will dry you eyes and throat in no time. I’m not used to AC, still I think it’s position is less than desirable. Nothing deal breaking though, and could be my room.

The place is close to the JR train station, and there are plenty of coin parking spots if you're driving. You'll find a bunch of restaurants just a short walk away. The room is decent for a night's rest, and they offer a simple Japanese breakfast. The shower and toilet are clean, plus there are plenty of amenities available.

The mattress feels a bit firm, and the room's lighting is pretty low.
