"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."

Top Otaru Aquarium Hotel Reviews

SAPPORO HOTEL by GRANBELL

10/10 Excellent

"Only complaint is the gym is only open from 1pm to 11pm"

Hotel Hokke Club Sapporo

8/10 Good

"The rooms could definitl"

Hotel Emion Sapporo

10/10 Excellent

"地點方便, 酒店地下連接2小時便利店, 房間空間足夠打開兩個28吋行李箱及整潔."

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."

Sapporo Grand Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I liked this hotel - good location but about a 10 minute walk from the station (not realising at first that you can do the whole journey on foot all underground - much easier with suitcases). I did have an Executive room though and I really enjoyed the club lounge."

Quintessa Hotel Sapporo Susukino

10/10 Excellent

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

Onsen Ryokan Yuen Sapporo

10/10 Excellent

"I absolutely loved staying at Yuen, it is close by to loads of restaurants and shopping and the Onsen is amazing. The best part is the vanilla ice cream after the Onsen. Would most definitely stay there again"

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."
