"ペット同伴可能ということで、利用しました。経年相応の古さはありますが、リフォームして綺麗にされています。事前にスタッフの方がエアコンを起動していてくれたのか、部屋があったまっていましたが、当日は気温も高く、日中は暑かったです。逆にエアコンを止めると夜間は寒く、その点で古い建物だと感じる点はありました。無人チェックインなので、対人でのやり取りはなく、その辺煩わしい人には、おすすめできるかと思います。ベッドも多数あり、大人数で泊まるにはおすすめではないでしょうか。一点、一回のテレビですが、集煙装置のため、ソファー側からテレビが見づらいのが気になりました。 "

Top Asahi Observation Platform Hotel Reviews

Hotel Gracery Sapporo

10/10 Excellent

"we ended up doing the exec level, the room was super comfortable and very posh, however, our room had no view . It was facing inward toward other rooms. The suite type was very comfortable and as long as you don't care about whats out the window, the room was nice. The club access was minimal but still nice to have and got coffee . evening had beer and wine ."

Sapporo Grand Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful hotel with courteous and friendly staff. Great location"

Grand Park Otaru

10/10 Excellent

"It is very hard to fault this hotel because they have done almost everything right. The rooms facing the sea have a magnificent view, which puts a smile on your face every morning. Plus it is connected to the AEON shopping centre right next to it so it's very convenient especially if you feel like doing some late night shopping or last minute supply replenishment. That said, there are two things that I am not happy about: 1. There are no power outlets or USB ports at the bedside table to charge your phone. 2. One of the light switches is actually linked to the wall power outlet, to which the floor lamp is plugged in. That means whenever I switch off the lights on that side of the room it would also switch off whatever is plugged into that power outlet e.g. laptop / tablet / camera / power bank etc. If these are no big deal to you, then you should really check it out."

SAPPORO HOTEL by GRANBELL

8/10 Good

"硬件设施很好，其他的还好。"

Onsen Ryokan Yuen Sapporo

Premier Hotel Tsubaki Sapporo

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very friendly, and the hotel was very clean."

Sapporo Prince Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Bed was quite comfortable, but several large pillows. The bathtub was massive, perfect for a long bath after a long travel day. The highlight, though, was the well equipped gym. It is one of the better hotel gyms we’ve ever used."

Dormy Inn Premium Otaru Natural Hot Spring

10/10 Excellent

"Due to my schedule, I could only stay for a single day, but it was the kind of hotel where I would have loved to stay longer if I had the time. The comfortable bed, the accommodation itself, and the delicious meals were all excellent."
