Hotels in Susukino, Sapporo

Overall, I'm very satisfied, and it's conveniently located near the station. Facilities: They have everything you need, plus a large public bath. You can even enjoy a popsicle after your soak! Cleanliness: Good. I stayed for four nights, and the towels were changed daily. Environment: Quiet, with no noisy surroundings. Service: All very good, with polite greetings every time I entered and exited. Their breakfast is excellent too! I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit Sapporo.

I initially thought that staying in a hostel/capsule hotel like this would be a terrible experience, but it turned out to be surprisingly good. Of course, I booked it because it was cheap. During the peak season of the Snow Festival, it was significantly cheaper, even half the price of other regular hotels. So, even if the experience was bad, I could tolerate it, but it actually wasn't. Plus, I got to experience the local (northern) sauna culture, which was quite new for me, a southerner. First, let's talk about the location. It's a straight five-minute walk from Susukino Station, and there's also a city tram stop right outside, so transportation is very convenient. Personally, I recommend taking the airport bus because you don't have to drag your luggage so far. In Susukino, it's naturally convenient for dining and shopping. There's a convenience store just across the street downstairs, basically solving most of your needs. There are 4.5 floors of hotel accommodation, with over a hundred beds on each floor. When I went, it was the peak season of the Snow Festival, but the occupancy rate seemed to be only about half, so there weren't that many people near your bed. There might be occasional noise, but guests from all over the world are generally well-behaved and consciously control their volume during quiet hours. So, staying here is pretty much like a school dorm. If you can accept a school dorm, then this place should be fine too. After staying, I realized that this place is essentially a three-in-one: accommodation is capsule (hostel) + internet cafe. You buy a bed, and the public area provides basic entertainment like comics. Showering is in a Japanese public bathhouse, which also has hot spring pools and a sauna area. I recommend that those who haven't been before should learn about the customs and etiquette in advance. The dining area is similar to an izakaya, operating from evening until 1 AM, offering basic staple foods and some drinks. The overall facilities and services are quite comprehensive, and I didn't feel any inconvenience during my four or five-day stay. If you think the bed is expensive, there's a sneaky trick (prerequisite: you need to understand Japanese and the billing rules). You can use it like a Japanese public bathhouse, just like the locals do. Go in and select the 'day trip' (日帰り) option on the machine. Sometimes, the final bill will be cheaper than booking a bed. However, the downside is that you won't have a bed, and you'll have to find a place to spend the night in the dining area or public lounge on the 7th floor. If there are too many people, you might not find a place to rest. So, judge for yourselves. This trick is recommended for those who are more familiar with Japan. Before staying, I saw some reviews mentioning two concerns, and now I'll address them based on my actual experience: First, female staff passing through the changing area outside the bathhouse. I did encounter this two or three times. I guess the front desk and dining staff took the stairs to the dining area to save elevator waiting time. They also tried to keep their heads down and avoid looking, so I personally don't mind. If you do, then I suggest you consider not staying here. Second, the air conditioning is kept at 18-20 degrees Celsius (64-68°F), which was perfect for me. After all, it's below zero outdoors, and too large a temperature difference can be uncomfortable.

Stayed in a room with a Ferris wheel view [laughing emoji]. Everyone visiting Sapporo should stay at this hotel directly above Susukino Station! The only minor inconvenience is that the lobby is on the 7th floor of the shopping mall, but otherwise, it's perfect [grinning emoji]. There are two Don Quijote stores nearby, and all major shopping malls are within a 15-minute walk. Tanukikoji shopping street is a guaranteed 5-minute walk (even with waiting for traffic lights). Plus, there are plenty of 24-hour restaurants around the hotel.

No complimentary bottled water in the room. The deluxe standard room size was decent, and breakfast was okay. With the low yen exchange rate, prices are rising, and breakfast costs have quietly gone up. Plus, they've introduced a new accommodation tax this year. By the way, both times I've stayed, I've been given a room at the very end of the hall.

Excellent, really great! My only minor complaint is that the window faced inwards. It was clean and well-maintained, small but had everything you needed. The heating was fantastic, and the croissants at breakfast were incredibly delicious! The only downside is that it's quite a walk from the JR station.

⭐️ Stayed in a mixed dorm room & was a bit worried at first - but pleasantly surprised at the end 💚PROS + staff is very kind and helpful and there is someone at the front desk almost all the time (night excluded) + they organize summer festivals and get-togethers with their Odori Park Partner Hostel + real big and comfortable beds & a lockable drawer + towel & 2 clotheshangers + clean showers & bathrooms + great showergels + washer & dryer + washroom area on 10th floor that’s usable 24/7 + nice and comfortable common rooms, with fridge, cooking- & washing area & free tea/coffee + great subway & bus connections + great attractions in walkable distance + rooms get cleaned daily & your bedding gets changed every 4 days ❤️🩹 CONS - would’ve loved more storage space next to my bed! 🌱 Really loved this hostel & spend my 8 nights there very comfortably! Most of my roommates were nice and abided by the rules set by the hostel - if i were to travel to Sapporo again, i would choose to stay there again 💗

This is a very new hotel with convenient transportation. The stay was very comfortable, the bed was huge, and the room even had a small kitchen. The bathtub was also very big and comfortable. I'm very satisfied! There wasn't any noise, and the staff were friendly.

My fist time experience the Hotel of IHG In Sapporo is wonderful. A new Hotel and it is just opened in mid of July . The hotel facilities are amazing, a full ENG/ CHINESE version to instruct how to use the shower facilities . A Water dispenser provided on each floor . The self service luggage storage also provided lock for each luggage. THe front staffs are friendly and sincere. The senior staff who position at restaurant , he is hard working and efficient . He is able to well manage the floor during the peak . Overall , an impressive stay .

Came b4 check in time and they effortlessly offered to handle our luggage, our room is pretty big even though still hard to open 3 big luggage at the same time, our room directly face the streets but we don't hear lots of noise, breakfast pretty solid, they change several menus every single day, they only clean once for our 5 nights stay, but thats fine they change the towel and emptying the trash bin everyday, they also have washing and drying machine operated by coin, microwave also,location is really good near susukino station, near nikka whisky sign, and also near bus stop to the airport over all very nice

Excellent stay! The room was super luxurious and spacious, and spotlessly clean. They had all the amenities you could need, and the bedding and pillows were fresh. Service was great, very polite. Plus, you can charge your devices in the lobby, and it's really close to the park.
