2-Star Hotels in Sapporo

I had a wonderful stay at Pension Setsurin! The tatami room was an amazing and authentic experience, making my trip truly special. The host was incredibly kind and thoughtful, even asking about food sensitivities to accommodate my breakfast, which I really appreciated. The breakfast is definitely worth trying—it’s rich, diverse, and full of traditional Japanese flavors. There’s even anime playing during breakfast, which adds a fun cultural touch to the experience. All toiletries were fully provided, so I didn’t need to bring anything extra. I stayed on the second floor, so just keep in mind you’ll need to carry your luggage upstairs. A special thank you to the host for going the extra mile—when I checked out, they even helped clear the snow off my car, which was such a kind and thoughtful gesture. I highly recommend Pension Setsurin for anyone looking for a warm and authentic stay!

The room was spacious with a kitchen, two bathrooms, two toilets, and a total of four sinks. There was also a six-person dining table, a TV, and heating and air conditioning. There's a paid parking lot nearby, which is convenient for car renters. However, the soundproofing wasn't very good. When I encountered people driving cars, I immediately reported it and the issue was resolved. Cleaning and garbage collection aren't daily. After cleaning, the perfume I left on the table was missing. I reported it to the front desk, and the explanation was that it might have been accidentally taken away or disposed of as trash… Anyway, it's gone! It's a bit frustrating, and I hope others don't encounter this problem.

I chose Centurion, thinking the service would be great, and it was decent. You can experience a Japanese bath (furo). For the sauna, you have to wait for the top of the hour to enter. When I arrived, it was just before 9 PM, and I saw a group of men and young guys neatly lined up in three rows outside the sauna door. No pushing or shoving, just waiting for the staff to say 'go in.' They all went in naked, very obedient! The bed was a huge capsule, very comfortable. However, they charge an extra 500 yen to store luggage after check-out! This isn't really like a typical hostel; it's more of a men's bathhouse, specifically for guys who come to shower and bathe.

1. Regarding breakfast, 50% off coffee for staying guests. 2. Regarding cost performance, accommodation in Sapporo is generally expensive, and the price is very reasonable. 3. The location of the hotel is not very good, there is a parking lot. 4. The hotel environment is clean and hygienic, toiletries are provided, and the activity area is also quite large.

This was truly the best accommodation. Even during the Snow Festival, it was comfortable and pleasant to stay here (on weekdays). The capsule interior is spacious enough for a sturdy man to sleep comfortably, and there's a dedicated 110V outlet for charging. The property features an izakaya, mahjong tables, recliner rooms, a manga cafe, and a bathhouse with a sauna, all of which are of considerable quality. To use these facilities, you must wear the designated clothing provided. Toothbrushes, towels, and clothing can be received free of charge whenever you need them. Overall, perhaps because it's male-only, I was able to stay in a quiet atmosphere. However, occasionally there are female staff members who enter and exit the bathhouse for scrubbing or cleaning, so there's no need to be alarmed. If you request breakfast the day before, it costs 1000 yen; without a prior request, it's 1400 yen. The breakfast includes fish, meat, fried items, curry, drinks, dessert, and even crab. Finally, regarding the location: it's near Susukino Station, the largest entertainment district, making most restaurants and attractions easily accessible (Nikka billboard, Don Quijote, entertainment venues). Also, Odori Park is right nearby, making it perfect for enjoying the Snow Festival, and it's close to Sapporo Station, which is convenient for day trips to the outskirts. There's really no need to book a business hotel; for this price, this place is quite remarkable.

I stayed on a Saturday night and was warmly welcomed by a sweet petite lady at check-in. I wish I’d asked her name. The building’s exterior looked like something out of Ghibli movie, and the interior felt like a cozy tavern from an anime. The room, toilet, and bath were all very clean. Highly recommended for budget travelers who value cleanliness and comfort. I wish I’d had time to try a meal at their restaurant. It looked inviting..

The location is convenient, close to the subway station, and there's a convenience store nearby. The room is clean and tidy, and having two air conditioners is a real plus – very comfortable! The kitchen is fully equipped. The only downside is the Wi-Fi, which often loses signal and needs improvement. Overall, it's highly recommended, and I'd definitely choose this place again on my next trip to Hokkaido.

This hostel has a great location. Hokkaido University, with its excellent museum, is just a short walk north – I'd highly recommend checking it out. However, the room I stayed in had 20 beds on one floor, so if you're a light sleeper or sensitive to noise, you might want to look elsewhere. It's really more suited as a cheap, temporary place to crash.

con: no free amenities (i knew beforehand, i'm just pointing it out) pro: the nightly rate is very cheap, especially if you compare it to hostel/hotels in central sapporo during winter festival con: far from sapporo city center. it takes an hour more or less. also, be ready to add budget for bus rides (550 yen from hostel to sapporo station) pro: there are restaurants, ramen shops, supermarkets, 100 yen shop which are just 1 bus ride away (max 30 minutes) there is also a skii resort (fu's snow area) nearby. con: i just wish they install additional heaters in the common area. also, the hot water on the sink stopped running which was inconvenient pro: i had a comfortable stay. the other guests who stayed at this hostel were quiet. my roommates were japanese, korean and chinese and they were very nice. in conclusion, i chose this hostel because the price gap between hostels in sapporo city center and this hotel was huge. even with the additional bus fare, it was still much cheaper to stay here.

The room is very new, the facilities are still in a good state, and it looks happy. Although I have to change the car to the station, the traffic situation is still convenient. The accommodation is close to the shopping supermarket and Dachuang. It’s just that the baking tray in the oven is black, and I bought baking paper myself. It feels a little hygienic. If the owner can attach tin foil to make people who use baking tray feel better.
