Sapporo Hotels with Pools

The hotel staff are very friendly, attentive and responsive the moment I arrive near the hotel entrance, they help me with my luggage and check in. The hotel room is more spacious than a number of hotel I have stayed. The room is clean and tidy, the cleaner replenish and clean my room daily.

I couldn't forget the breakfast buffet I had four years ago, so I stayed here on the last day of my trip to Sapporo for the first time in a long time. I was upgraded to a twin room, and both the room and the bath were spacious and comfortable. The U-shaped venue is beautiful no matter how many times I see it, and it made me feel elegant. From here on, I would like you to consider the following: 1. I would like the refrigerator to be available. 2. It would be nice if ice was always available (if there is no such thing as 1). 3. I would like the shuttle bus to be longer. ▶︎I thought I could relax at 11:00, but it was 10:00, so I had to eat breakfast in a hurry. It would be nice if there was at least 10:30. ▶︎I arrived before check-in and thought I could relax in the lobby, but it was only 13:00 and then 16:00, which was disappointing. It would be nice if there was at least 15:00. 4. The hand soap was expensive and difficult to push.

The room is quite big for the same type, and the view outside is also good. It is surrounded by a small shopping district, which is very convenient for eating and close to the subway station. The cleaning is very careful.

The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of major attractions, making it a great base for exploring the area. The room features traditional Japanese-style interiors but feels quite dated, including the furniture. On the positive side, the buffet for both dinner and breakfast offers a wide variety of options to suit different tastes. A standout feature is the free shuttle service from Sapporo Station, which adds convenience for travelers. Overall, it’s a practical choice for its location and amenities, though the rooms could use some updates.

It might have not been clearly mentioned but there is no air-conditioning provided, only central heating. During my time there, weather was cold out so the room only had 3 levels, low heat, medium heat and high heat. There is no way to sleep in those conditions and it took me a while to realize because the receptionist on the help desk phone did not speak English, so I went down to the lobby past midnight to ask the only staff available. Through some help on google translate and his hand gestures, I was told that I had to leave my windows open to let cold air into the room. This was not explained at any point during the check-in so I guess that's the downside for foreigners wanting to stay here. There's also a hot spring tax you have to pay when you check out. All things considered Jozankei is not a big town so everything is accessible and the hotel is generally comfortable otherwise.
