Hotels With Gym in Hokkaido, Japan

This was the biggest room we stayed in during our Hokkaido trip. The interior has a charming retro feel, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. From the window, we enjoyed breathtaking 'blue hour' views. Right downstairs, there's a bus stop that takes you to most of Sapporo's popular attractions. The view outside the hotel, especially with the snow, was unexpectedly beautiful. Plus, there's a large Lawson convenience store right across the street, which was super convenient for late-night snacks or breakfast. The front desk staff were also very welcoming and even gave us tips on fun activities for the Snow Festival.

This was my third stay, and I chose this hotel again because my previous two experiences were so good. However, this time was truly unacceptable. We arrived at the hotel around 11 AM. My daughter had injured her leg while skiing, so we asked the middle-aged woman at check-in if we could check in early. She said yes, but we'd have to pay for an additional day – what a rip-off! The funny thing is, they told us we could wait in the lobby until 3 PM without paying. The lobby was nice, so we decided to wait there instead of wasting about 1700 RMB. But then, to our surprise, we saw the staff taking our luggage and other belongings to our room much earlier, while we weren't allowed to enter. Crazy! On top of that, the Wi-Fi signal this time was incredibly poor, almost unusable. Reporting it to the hotel didn't help either; we had to use our own data. So, this stay was truly, truly, truly disappointing! Attached is a photo of my daughter in a wheelchair, and they still wouldn't let us check in early. That middle-aged woman was so inhumane!

If you're a Chinese tourist, don't set your expectations too high – it's just a basic hostel. Expect the lower floors to be equivalent to a 170-250 RMB standard in China, and even a 'premium' room shouldn't cost more than 400 RMB. The hallways are so narrow only one person can pass at a time, and there's no wardrobe in the room; clothes have to be hung on the hallway wall. You can't even lay your suitcase flat on the floor! I've never stayed in such a terrible room, and the pricing is incredibly unstable. I booked it for just over 1000 RMB, but after checking in, I found the price had dropped by more than 300 RMB. If you don't check the prices carefully, you'll get ripped off... Luckily, Trip.com customer service was great and refunded the difference! This hotel has no redeeming qualities. Although it's close to the subway station, there are definitely more cost-effective hotels nearby, all within walking distance.

I had a wonderful stay at Sapporo Stream Hotel from 11–18 April, in a Superior+ room, and it exceeded my expectations. The room was modern, spotless, and well designed, with ample space to relax after a day of exploring Sapporo. The highlight was definitely the bed and mattress—I slept incredibly well every night, better than at home. The room was also quiet, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped, including a large-sized Panasonic air purifier/humidifier, which was especially helpful in the dry weather. The hotel location is unbeatable—subway is direct access from the basement, connected to Cocono Susukino shopping mall, and within walking distance of Ramen Alley, Ichiran, EDW pancakes, famous soup curry spots, and Nijo Market. It made getting around and dining out extremely convenient. I stayed for 8 days and really appreciated the daily housekeeping (not always common in Japan). There are washer-dryer on Level 8 (4 in total). A tip: avoid doing laundry at night as it gets busy—afternoons are much quieter. Using the time to shop or grab lunch nearby works perfectly. Also, don't overfill the machine; slightly more than half full works best and helps clothes dry more efficiently. Overall, everything felt well-organised and guest-focused, making the stay very comfortable and stress-free. I would absolutely recommend Sapporo Stream Hotel and would happily stay here again on my next visit.

This hotel is pretty basic. They charged me extra for checking out just an hour late! Only in Japan, I guess, among all of Asia, haha. But whatever, I couldn't be bothered to argue with them. Then, when I ate at their restaurant downstairs, they asked if I was a hotel guest. I said yes, that I had stayed there for four nights. The server then told me I'd be charged a 300 JPY table fee. I was thinking, *what the heck?* I've stayed here for four days, and now I have to pay an extra table fee just to try your restaurant? And this hotel only cleans every three days. Remember, they only provide towels and trash bags; you have to do everything else yourself. I definitely won't be coming back.

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 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.

I stayed at this hotel for all three nights in Sapporo. The first night was just a layover, and I was in a long room next to the elevator, which was quite small. I couldn't fully open my luggage, which was a bit inconvenient. The hotel is conveniently located near Sapporo JR Station, a short walk of less than 10 minutes through Tokyu Department Store after exiting the JR station. There's a convenience store right downstairs where you can pay with Suica, WeChat Pay, or Alipay. There are two restaurants for breakfast: a Japanese one on B1 and a Western one on the 2nd floor. While the variety isn't huge, the quality is good. The fruits, roasted broccoli, and roasted carrots🥕 were our favorites. The rooms aren't large, but our king room for the last two nights was on the 19th floor with a great view. The bathroom was quite spacious. We had to move the small coffee table slightly to open our two 30-inch suitcases.

The hotel's location is excellent, right near Exit 1 of Nakajima Park. It's super convenient to get to Sapporo Station and Susukino. The hotel's onsen (hot spring bath) is incredibly comfortable; I made sure to go every day. The room was a bit small but had everything I needed. My luggage was a bit hard to open fully. The view from the 17th floor was really nice. The front desk service was great. Just a heads-up, this room doesn't provide bottled water. You can drink the tap water directly, but if you prefer bottled water, you'll need to buy your own.

5-10 minutes walk to eateries and shops and subway, next to hotel is Lawson convenient store. Staff efficient and provides fast service. I find the downside is you can only shower inside bathtub which is inconvenient to small kids and elderly, and you cant eat and drink in hotel lobby so cabt chill in lobby with families, and there is no Type C charger so you must use travel adapter. Water dispenser is not available in lobby and not at every floor, you must go certain floor to fill up water and only cold water is available (no hot water). Also mattresses are hard.
