"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

Hotel Emion Sapporo

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room with helpful staff"

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"

Hotel Gracery Sapporo

8/10 Good

"The staff is nice, the hotel look is updated, and the rooms are ok. I feel hotels of similar rank nearby have better in room amenities, but this one is right in front of Sapporo Station."

Premier Hotel Tsubaki Sapporo

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room"

SAPPORO HOTEL by GRANBELL

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is amazing, I’ll definitely recommend to my friends who will be visiting Sapporo."

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."

Granbell Hotel Otaru

10/10 Excellent

"A very convenient place to stay near the canal and within easy reach of all the central shopping areas"

Hotel Monterey Edelhof Sapporo

10/10 Excellent
