"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 Prince Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved that when they made up my daughter’s bed they lined up all her plush on the pillows."

Hotel Gracery Sapporo

8/10 Good

"This is a clean and modern hotel very close to the JR station and near major attractions. In poor weather it would be very convenient to access the underground subways and food halls and links to stations and shops. The breakfast is lovely and gives a good chance to try a range of Hokkaido specialities. Rooms were clean, although quite small, had a good view and were well maintained."

Hotel Emion Sapporo

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here twice. We hope to stay again soon."

SAPPORO HOTEL by GRANBELL

8/10 Good

"Everything from the staff, breakfast , room cleanliness was fantastic. I would have given Five star across the board but the rug was hard to look at. It was filthy, from the lobby lounge to the rooms. I know rugs are hard to clean but this was not easy to overlook."

Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Sapporo

10/10 Excellent

"Good amount of space in room, breakfast excellent and public bath very nice"

Hotel Monterey Edelhof Sapporo

10/10 Excellent

"SPA Breakfast"

The Knot Sapporo

10/10 Excellent

"The Knot is a butique hotel located in the very center of Sapporo. I liked the stay a lot. The location is perfect, just next to the main shopping venus in Sapporo but still not that far from main JR station. It's a very wll maintained hotel that givs you vibes of a small, butique, kind of luxury hotel. I also enjoyed beakfasts a lot with a fantatic curry soup, though the choice of meals is the same everyday. Finally, the room was nice, but quite small and not that fancy, though I msut praise the very comfortable bed. Overall a five star stay for me."

Tokyu Stay Sapporo

8/10 Good

"We had a fantastic stay and wanted to extend our sincere thanks to the team. The staff is warm, polite, professional, helpful, knowledgeable, kind, and welcoming. The location is great, as it is close to shops and restaurants. I love that we could just sit, unwind, and enjoy the free coffee in the reception area after a tiring day. I also loved all the thoughtful free perks—especially the mini face wash, oil, and other skincare amenities! I highly recommend this place."

Hotel Torifito Otaru Canal

8/10 Good

"Front desk staff are very helpful! The only issue is about the water machine, which should not be limited to certain hours only, as bottled water is not provided in the room and humans need water around the clock."
