Sapporo
The fifth-largest city in Japan, Sapporo has just about everything you would want in a big city: shopping, delicious food, and bustling nightlife, among many others. And though many are in Sapporo for only a day or two as they make their way to Hokkaido, we recommend staying a bit longer for the local experiences if you can spare the time! Some must-visit attractions in the city include the Sapporo TV Tower, the Hitsujigaoka Observation Hill, and Susukino for those wanting to experience the local nightlife scene. Sapporo is typically at its busiest during February when visitors flock to the city to partake in the Snow Festival and in the summertime to feast on beer and delicious eats at the food festivals.

The location is great, the facilities are clean and nice, and the staff is friendly. It's right in front of the station and the airport bus stop is right across the street, so the location is really great! The room size is also spacious for a Japanese hotel. I recommend it.

Japanese rooms are small, but just barely acceptable. The breakfast selection is a bit limited, but the raw salmon and scallops are good. It would be even more delicious if the scallops were grilled or pan-fried.

I've been to Hokkaido several times and, as a Marriott Titanium member, I usually stay at Marriott hotels. I saw a review of this hotel on YouTube, especially highlighting the breakfast, which was indeed excellent. The large public bath was also very nice and comfortable. The room was decent and clean. Overall, a great one-night experience.

One of the best budget hotels my parents and I have stayed in. I always travel with my parents, who are in their late 70s, and they rated it 💯 as well. Its proximity to Tanukikoji, Odori Subway, and the Street Car was a huge plus

The atmosphere of a hot spring hotel that can be enjoyed in the city, the food and facilities are very good, the decoration is beautiful, and the breakfast recommended by many people is completely above expectations. Although the refrigerator in the room does not have refrigeration or freezing function, the overall accommodation experience is still very good.

Highly recommend this stylish hotel, very close to Tokyu Department Store, JR Sapporo Station, and the underground mall. I didn't book hotel breakfast this time, but the nearby cafes have great breakfasts. You can get good coffee and a simple breakfast for less than 1000 yen at places like Sarutahiko Coffee and Doutor Coffee. The complimentary alcoholic beverages can be enjoyed in the lobby for a relaxing atmosphere. It was a wonderful stay. I will definitely stay here again next time.

I had a wonderful stay at Vessel Inn Sapporo Nakajima Park. The hotel's greatest advantage is its superb location. It's just a 2-minute walk from Nakajima Koen Station, making it incredibly easy to get to Sapporo Station, Odori Park, and Susukino. Nakajima Park itself is beautiful, especially in the autumn.
The room was compact but very clean and efficiently designed, with all the necessary amenities. The free coffee and tea service in the lobby was a nice touch.
The highlight, without a doubt, was the incredible breakfast buffet! It offered a wide variety of both Japanese and Western options. The local specialties were a delicious way to start the day. The staff were consistently friendly and helpful.
For the price, this hotel offers outstanding value. I would not hesitate to stay here again on my next trip to Sapporo.

The staff knew a few Korean words and were very helpful, which made my stay comfortable. The facilities were also very comfortable, the shower pressure was strong, and the breakfast was good with a balanced selection of protein, carbs, and fat, as well as bread, desserts, coffee, and soda. There are also famous tourist attractions nearby!

Check-in was incredibly easy because there was someone who spoke Korean, and they even upgraded our room. It was very spacious and comfortable, and I'll definitely stay here again if I have the chance! The staff were super friendly. It's also conveniently located near Sapporo Station, making it easy to get around.
