"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."

Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Sapporo

10/10 Excellent

"All good"

Dormy Inn Premium Otaru Natural Hot Spring

10/10 Excellent

"Great, helpful staff, lovely room."

SAPPORO HOTEL by GRANBELL

8/10 Good

"Staff was helpful. He helped me to call to my next accomodation to arrange for transport and it was successfully done. The location is good, within Walking distance to Daimaru, JR Sapporo Station, Yodobashi camera and lots of eatery places. The downside of this is the room I've which is queen size bed on 16th floor was lack of tables or shelves to put items needed daily and inadequate of lighting especially at the entrance to the room where there's a long mirror on the wall. It's quite hard to use the mirror for makeup. Overall, it's a comfortable hotel with onsen and the breakfast is average."

Grand Park Otaru

10/10 Excellent

"The amenities and services in the hotel are very good. However, since there are no buildings next door, the signs for entering can be somewhat hard to read, and if you try to enter through the main entrance, it is relatively far from the station, so I felt that the access to the hotel was not as good as it was described."
