"Stair inside the room that can directly goto the other room without door/gate. Feel not safe if stranger live downstair, also not safe if young kids walking around. The toilet without any ventilation fan, make it a bit smelly. Parking area is not big enough for 2 car, maybe is the parking instruction not show clearly how to park the car. The instruction should show how two car parking in the parking area. This house better for those who only need sleep."

SAPPORO HOTEL by GRANBELL

10/10 Excellent

"Very helpful staff, very clean. Onsen is 10/10 only comment is, wish towels were provided inside onsen area to not bring towels from room."

Sapporo Grand Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great Location ! Close to all city points of interest. Very helpful staff. Tran at the info desk was so helpful and was able to help us translate when we had a problem with our flight changes. All the correspondence that we received about our flight changes were in Japanese, he helped us translate through the ANA website and the staff at the info desk even helped us print a hard copy of our e-tickets! Thank you for our wonderful stay at the facility. We will stay there again, in the future when we visit for the “ Sapporo Snow Festival “ 😀😊"

Onsen Ryokan Yuen Sapporo

10/10 Excellent

"How can this only be a 3 star rating, what a beautiful accommodation, so peaceful from the moment you step in from the street, peaceful, elegant, lovely onsen, will absolutely stay here again, should be a 4.5 star when comparing to other places we have been to"

Hotel Gracery Sapporo

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was amazing! Japanese breakfast with unlimited servings of ikura and salmon were over the top! Bathroom shower curtain smelled, should be replaced. Otherwise, everything about this hotel works. Location and breakfast were exceptional!"

Hotel Monterey Edelhof Sapporo

8/10 Good

"The check-in process was easy, and our room was beautiful and spacious. We also appreciated the great size of the bathroom and the fantastic water pressure in the shower. It is a lovely hotel, and we will be sad to leave."

Quintessa Hotel Sapporo Susukino

10/10 Excellent

"Good location, clean rooms and hotel, very spacious and good value for price"

Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Sapporo

8/10 Good

"The Solaria Hotel is centally located next to shopping hubs and sightseeing. The rooms were well laid out if not small by western standards. The building is new and clean. The staff was attentive but only marginally fluent in english which we had to navigate around. My only disappointment was that there were only Japanese TV options, no western programming. That is something that could be easily fixed in my opinion. Breakfast was very good but almost strictly Japanese, and the menu did not change from day to day. All in all a really good stay."
