4-Star Hotels in Hokkaido, Japan

This hotel is located right on Tanukikoji Shopping Street, with a side entrance that opens directly onto it, making shopping and dining incredibly convenient. The room had three beds, exactly as pictured, and a three-part bathroom that was clean and tidy. Downstairs, the front desk offered complimentary toiletries and even free hand warmers.

The hotel is conveniently located just a 5-minute walk from Sapporo Station, which is directly connected to the airport via the JR Airport Express. Don't listen to previous reviews suggesting you head towards Daimaru department store. Instead, follow my photos to easily find the hotel. You won't even need to cross the street. Just locate the Namboku Line subway, then find Exit 9 through the side passages. When I visited in February, there was a Descente store next to the hotel's elevator. The front desk is on the 10th floor. Breakfast was good, and the hot springs were very relaxing. Most importantly, the hotel is new. Our triple room included executive lounge access, offering red and white wine, coffee, and four snacks including Jagabee (Jaga Pokkuru). We had a very comfortable stay. Housekeeping is done by 3 PM at the latest. Hokkaido University is a 20-minute walk, Mitsukoshi is also 20 minutes on foot, and the Factory Outlet is a 15-minute walk. We walked everywhere from the hotel.

I stayed at Bespoke Hotel Sapporo from March 2 to March 9, and I had a wonderful experience throughout my stay. The hotel was clean and well-maintained, and the room had excellent soundproofing, which made it very quiet and comfortable for rest. The facilities were also very convenient, especially the self-service laundry, which was extremely helpful during a longer trip. The front desk staff were warm, friendly, and always willing to help. I would especially like to express my gratitude to the team for their kindness and efficiency — my child accidentally left a phone in the public restroom in the hotel lobby, and the staff promptly helped to locate and safely keep it until we returned. We were truly grateful for their honesty and care. This is a hotel that makes you feel both comfortable and well taken care of. I would definitely stay here again on my next visit to Sapporo.

This hotel is only a 10-minute walk from Sapporo JR Station and 6 minutes from Daimaru Department Store. The location is excellent. The price is definitely higher than hotels in Otaru, almost double. Since I had an early flight, I didn't get to try their breakfast. I especially want to commend the two male receptionists who checked us in and out. Their English was impeccable and very clear, and they proactively asked if we had any other questions. There's only one restroom in the lobby, so if you're in a hurry, it's better to go to your room. Quick tip: Mitsui and Mitsui Garden are two separate hotels right next to each other, so don't get them confused!

Excellent location which is near to everything: JR Hakodate station, bus station, tram station, taxi station, Hakodate Morning Market, Family mart, etc. The room is spacious and has a sofa seat. At 13th flr where our rooms were, there was a cafe where guests could have a drink free of charge. The breakfast spread was good and the staff were very polite! However, the air-conditioning was auto turned to warm, and we could not switch it back to cool temperature. As a result my daughter has to resort to rent a fan, as it was very warm at night.

The location is fantastic, with plenty of delicious local eateries right downstairs, perfect for experiencing Hakodate's unique charm. It's super close to the station, less than a 10-minute walk, and the tram and bus stops are right outside the building, which is incredibly convenient. Plus, the view from the hotel window is beautiful.

This is a very new hotel. The large public bath on the second floor is open until 1 AM, and while the men's bath itself isn't huge, it's perfectly fine for a simple relaxation during your trip. The style is actually quite modern. The hotel's breakfast is better than typical Japanese hotels, with many buffet options and about four kinds of fresh fruit. It's not too far to walk to JR Sapporo Station, and there's also an underground passage you can use, though it requires a slight detour.

I stayed at Sapporo Hotel by Grandbell for four nights and had a lovely overall experience. The hotel is quite new, and the view from the room was beautiful, which made the stay even more enjoyable. One of my favorite parts was the onsen — they have several different baths to choose from, and it was a great way to relax after a long day out in the cold. The convenience is also a plus, with both FamilyMart and Lawson located just downstairs. The only downside is that the hotel is not very close to the JR station. It’s still walkable, but can feel a bit far, especially in winter. One night, I had trouble finding the correct exit at the station and ended up walking quite a long distance to get back to the hotel. Overall, I would still recommend this hotel for its comfort, facilities, and relaxing atmosphere — just be prepared for a bit of walking.

The room has just been renovated and everything feels new. The hotel front desk was very accommodating and stored my luggage for me in advance, which was super convenient. They also replied to emails very quickly, which I really appreciate. The only downside is that you can't access the hotel directly from underground.
