Honestly, I went in with low expectations for the price, but this stay completely exceeded them. The room was recently renovated—clean, modern, and very comfortable. The only minor downside was that the bed had been repositioned, which slightly blocked the view, but honestly, it’s such a small issue that it barely matters. The hotel lounge was an absolute highlight—free drinks available anytime, and the selection was fantastic. I ended up spending way too much time there just relaxing and sipping cocktails. It’s rare to find such a great value with this level of comfort and service. If you’re visiting Sapporo, this is a top-tier choice—highly recommend staying here again and again.
Staying here with my parents was such a pleasant experience. The family room wasn’t huge, but the layout was smart and very practical for three people. We were lucky to be assigned to a higher floor—great views from the window and absolutely no noise from outside, which made our rest even more peaceful. What really stood out? The breakfast and the on-site hot spring. With three different dining options, each offering a unique breakfast experience, we had the chance to try them all during our four-night stay—and honestly, every single one deserved a full 5-star rating. The quality of food, variety, and presentation were top-notch. The only small downside (and it’s purely personal) was that there was no fresh-brewed coffee—just coffee served from a thermos, which lacked that rich aroma and depth. Still, it didn’t take away from how amazing the whole stay was. The hot spring on the third floor was serene and beautifully designed, and since we visited during off-peak hours, we had the place almost to ourselves. Perfect for unwinding in the sauna or soaking in the warm waters. Overall, this hotel delivered exceptional comfort, thoughtful details, and great value—definitely a place I’d return to without hesitation.
