Sapporo Chuo Ward Hotels

The room was a typical Japanese business hotel setup, though it felt a bit more spacious than usual. It was also very clean. They thoughtfully provide complimentary amenities for children, including special indoor wear, pillows, and toiletries. The onsen (hot spring bath) was excellent. After a relaxing soak, you can head downstairs to the first floor for a refreshing welcome drink. Breakfast was absolutely outstanding. All I can say is, just take a look at the quality and presentation of the seafood bowl! The staff were also incredibly helpful and friendly. One particularly kind and lovely lady at the front desk truly charmed my child, who even drew a little picture in our room specifically to give to her!

The hotel is a 10-minute walk from Sapporo JR Station. To get there, exit the South Gate, turn right (without crossing the road), and follow the sidewalk; you'll know you're close when you spot the Rokka Tei building. The service was exceptionally attentive: staff at the entrance immediately came over to assist with our luggage the moment they spotted us, and after check-in, another staff member personally escorted us with our bags to our room door. The room was quite spacious, clean, and hygienic. However, the toiletries were all mini-sized, which I found a bit inconvenient and insufficient, especially after staying in numerous other Japanese hotels. The breakfast spread was fantastic and offered excellent value for money. The hotel is also within walking distance of Tanukikoji and Odori Park. Additionally, there's an airport shuttle bus stop at the hotel's back parking lot. However, it only operates four services in the morning; for other times, you can catch a bus from across the JR Station.

The hotel is located above a shopping mall. You need to take an elevator up to the 7th floor to transfer to another one for the guest rooms. It takes a bit of getting used to, but it's not a hassle once you're familiar with it. As a city hotel, the rooms are compact, which is quite typical of Japanese hotels. The toiletries were unbranded, but the breakfast was decent and certainly met four-star expectations. Although the window was small, the view was excellent. The blackout curtains worked perfectly, and the comfortable bedding ensured a great night's sleep. Interestingly, bottled water is only provided when the room is serviced. If you decline cleaning, you don't get water. For a partial clean, you have to collect it yourself, and only a full room service includes water delivery to your room. I still can't quite wrap my head around this logic.

Our first stop in Sapporo, Hokkaido. Transportation was very convenient. There's a direct airport bus from the airport; we got off at Susukino station, and it was about a 3-4 minute walk to the hotel. The hotel facilities were a bit dated, but generally acceptable, especially since we were out exploring all day anyway. Just a few minutes' walk away is Cocono, which offers dining, shopping, and a supermarket, making it very convenient. The supermarket stocked a variety of Hokkaido-exclusive Sapporo products. We got a great deal on this hotel through a Ctrip group purchase.

The room is not that big, but there is enough space, you can even easily keep your suitcase open. The staff is very responsive. The location is just great - everything you need and even more is nearby. If necessary, you can wash your clothes here, which is very convenient. The bed is very comfortable, the soundproofing is good, or I just didn't have neighbors :)

The location is convenient for everything, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Although the breakfast is affordable, it only offers Asian dishes, which makes sense since that’s the hotel’s focus. We had a great time there, and I highly recommend it..

Pros: best beds! This was the 6th hotel in our month long Japan trip their firm Simmons mattresses are the best. Good public bath on the top floor with an open to sky outdoor tub. Excellent friendly staff. Little things like reprogramming the escalator to go down during check out hours, seats at the elevator lobbies, and code to access to the baths makes the stay nicer. Best prefeb bathrooms and also nicely appointed deco. Room size was bigger than your standard business chain hotel. Great location too to Sapporo Station and Odori Park. Cons: although the breakfast selection was adequate, it badly lacked variety. Everyday was the exact same items/menu. I strongly recommend that they change out 20-30% like other hotels. For this reason alone we can not stay more than 5 days. We moved to another hotel due to this breakfast issue. Overall, we would stay here again but again for not more than 4-5 nights due to the breakfast. Its a real pity because we like everything else about it. Almost a prefect score.

The room is spacious. Although the hotel policy is no cleaning on second night if you stayed for 2 consecutive nights, the housekeeping crew cleaned our room cause we put ‘CLEAN MY ROOM’ card on the door. We appreciate that. The breakfast was good.

Great hotel, clean and comfortable room, convenient location! One thing that surprised me, though, was a total lack of laundry machines... it's the only hotel in Japan from 20+ that I've stayed in that doesn't have coin laundry on site... this made it not very convenient... other than that, it was great!

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel! It has a lovely European-inspired decor. The two large TVs were a real highlight, making movie nights very enjoyable. Breakfast was delicious too. The facilities are well-appointed and modern, and the cleanliness was absolutely impeccable. Both the ambiance and service were excellent! Most importantly, the room itself was incredibly comfortable. Its proximity to Tanukikoji made finding great dining options incredibly easy. We even booked an extra night after returning from Lake Akan! I highly recommend this place!
