3-Star Hotels in Hokkaido, Japan

Clean and hygienic, with excellent service. It's right next to Odori Park and very close to Tanukikoji. The beds are surprisingly large for Japan; two single beds pushed together can easily accommodate a family of three. The only minor drawback is that it's a bit of a walk from the subway station. However, there's an airport shuttle bus stop just two blocks from the hotel, about a 5-minute walk, and it's cheaper than taking the subway.

The biggest plus for this hotel is definitely its location in Susukino. It's only about a 3-minute walk to the Nikka Whisky billboard, Cocono Susukino, and the subway station. Plus, there are plenty of dining and shopping options right downstairs, which is super convenient. The hotel lobby is quite stylish with a projector screen, perfect for enjoying a meal or just relaxing. The overall decor has an industrial and camping-inspired vibe. The room itself is a bit on the small side, but the bed is incredibly soft. One minor issue is that the room door uses a thin curtain, which doesn't do much for soundproofing, so earplugs are recommended if you're a light sleeper. The bathroom facilities are great, complete with a hairdryer and basic toiletries. I just wish they had slightly larger room options. The hotel is in the tallest building right next to the Ferris wheel in the photo.

Hotel looks brand new, dimmer for bed room lights and bathroom lights were nice touches. It's a walk from sapporo station but all underground so in winter or rain it is not a big deal. Exit at a lift on the left after miredo. You should pass a montbell store on the right. Some renovation going on so Exit 7 was not available. If you were taking the Chuo bus to Niseko the stop at Sapporo Grand Hotel is nearest and just a stone throw away. Rooms are Japanese petite. Also a short 15 mins walk to Odori station.

Traveling with friends, we booked rooms on the same floor. On the first floor, right by the elevator, there's a convenient selection of toiletries available, including toothbrushes, bath products, and men's razors. The hotel is super easy to get to, just across the street from JR Station. Plus, there's a 7-Eleven right downstairs and two Lawson convenience stores across the street, making it incredibly convenient for getting around. You can even get to Daimaru Department Store via the JR Station, and from the other side of Daimaru, there's an underground passage that leads to places like Tanukikoji. It's a bit of a walk to either end, but the best part is how close it is to the JR Station when you're heading home! Despite being so close to the JR Station, the soundproofing in the rooms is actually really good.

Location is good. It is close to the central area. Room is spacious enough for 2. Although you cannot open 2 luggages at the same time. There’s a mini fridge and a kettle. Free coffee and tea. Also you can borrow hair curler and iron on the front desk. They also offer other things you can borrow like nail cutter and others. They change towels everyday. But room cleaning is not allowed until your 4th night. The view is nice too. Here’s a photo taken from our room.

This is a fantastic hotel! The rooms are spacious, beautifully decorated, and very functional. The kitchen is well-equipped with dishes and cookware, making it perfect for cooking and doing laundry, ideal for longer stays. The location is also quite convenient. For transportation, it's a 2-minute walk to the tram station, a 10-minute walk to Susukino Station, and within a 15-minute walk to Tanukikoji Shopping Street. Nearby, there's a 24-hour supermarket and a 24-hour drugstore/daily necessities store. For convenience stores, there are several Lawsons, and one 7-Eleven and one FamilyMart. The lobby functions as a cafe during the day, and after business hours, guests can use the lobby space for dining or other activities.

Lovely boutique hotel located in the heart of Sapporo! Perfect location that is just a few minutes away and walking distance to Odori Park, the TV tower, Niju Market, Ramen Alley and the Nikka sign. There's also a SeicoMart convenience store next door btw. We visited during the Sapporo Snow Festival. The Knot Sapporo has direct access to the underground mall. From the underground mall, you can walk protected from the elements all the way to Odori Park. There are escalators, stairs and elevators that you can then take to go to the ground level. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The only caveat is the in-house Les Bois Cafe hours. It's kind of weird how the cafe hours are. One time, after having lunch nearby, my wife and I decided to grab coffee at the in-house Les Bois Cafe when we got back at the hotel. It was around 2:45pm on a Saturday. We were told that the establishment was closing in about 15 minutes and we could not be served. Odd. We came back the next Sunday morning and were able to get coffee then.

Originally booked for two nights, but I had such a good experience that I extended my stay for another two. It's located in a bustling area with plenty of food and shopping options, yet the hotel itself is incredibly quiet. The facilities are new and the rooms are clean. I visit Sapporo once or twice a year, but I hadn't known about this hotel before. From now on, this will be my go-to place to stay. Please keep up the great work! Bravo! 👏

This was my first stay at Via Inn Prime Sapporo, and the location is definitely the highlight. Being right on Tanukikoji is so convenient, there are tons of restaurants and shops just steps away. The room was a bit small, but that’s typical for Japan. For a solo traveler, it was perfectly fine and, most importantly, very clean. The check-in lobby on the 2nd floor has a really comfortable atmosphere. I liked that you can pick up your own amenities like toothbrushes and coffee there. The staff were also very polite and spoke good English. I I had breakfast buffet at the 1st-floor restaurant for 1,980 yen. The food was fresh, tasty, and had a good variety. The only thing is that the coffee was a bit light for my taste, but everything else was great. The restaurant was tidy, and the staff were very polite and quick to refill the food. Overall, a very satisfying 5-day stay. I’ll definitely choose this hotel again when I’m back in Hokkaido!
