I stayed at this apartment for three nights and had a generally pleasant experience. The room was clean, well-maintained, and came with a small kitchenette, a washing machine, and a large smart TV—perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The only minor inconvenience was that check-in details weren’t sent until 3 PM, and the Wi-Fi password was listed in a booklet I didn’t notice right away, so I had to reach out via the platform’s WhatsApp number to get it. That said, the staff were very responsive whenever I had questions. The location is convenient—just a short walk or quick transit ride from the city center, making it easy to access major attractions. Overall, it’s a solid choice if you’re looking for a comfortable, self-catering stay in Sapporo with good value.
The hotel is a bit of a walk from JR Shiroishi Station—about 30 minutes on foot—but the surrounding area doesn’t have great public transport links. A taxi ride can cost around 1,500 yen, but the hotel staff are happy to help arrange rides, which was really convenient. The team here is friendly and professional throughout the stay. Breakfast is a highlight—plenty of variety, fresh ingredients, and good flavors, especially the warm soup and freshly baked bread.

The hotel’s location is perfect—right next to the station, making it super convenient for getting around Sapporo by train or public transit. I’d highly recommend this place for travelers who value both comfort and accessibility. One small note: the bathtub edge is a bit high, and I accidentally bumped my knee on the first night, which caused some discomfort. It also made navigating the stairs slightly tricky, especially after a long day of sightseeing. Still, these are minor issues compared to the overall quality of service and convenience. Definitely a top choice if you're visiting Sapporo.
The hotel lives up to its name—very much a straightforward business-style property, but if you're just looking for a comfortable place to sleep, it's actually a solid value.

The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our visit. Plus, being near Nakajima Park makes it a convenient base for exploring the city. While it's not luxury by any means, the price is very reasonable, and for a no-frills stay with good basics, this place works well. Definitely worth considering if you prioritize practicality over flashiness.
Staying at Fun Gate Hotel Sapporo was a delightful surprise. The location is perfect—just a short walk from Nakajima Shopping Street, making it easy to explore local eateries and shops.
