Staying at Villa Koshido Odori was perfect for our family trip with two households. We booked a spacious room that comfortably accommodated 11 guests, and having two bathrooms made daily routines stress-free—no waiting in line to shower or use the toilet. The rooms were incredibly clean and well-maintained, with plush beds that made for a deep, restful sleep. If you're traveling by car, the nearby parking lot is a great deal—only ¥600 from 8 PM to 8 AM, which is super affordable. The location is also convenient for public transit, making it easy to explore Sapporo. Overall, this villa offers excellent value, comfort, and privacy. We’d definitely stay here again.
Stayed with friends and had a wonderful experience. The room offered a private space with excellent privacy, making it perfect for relaxing after a busy day exploring Sapporo.

This hostel is seriously unique—feels like it was designed specifically for locals, with an impressive array of facilities. The huge shared sauna, hot spring bath, and bathing area are standout features. Sharing the space with dozens of others in a communal bath brings back memories of military barracks, but in a fun, authentic way. The front desk is on the 4th floor, while the 3rd floor hosts a cozy restaurant, chill-out zone, and even paid massage services—everything you need is right there. Rooms are spotless and well-maintained, though be aware that footsteps passing by your bed can cause slight vibrations, which might disturb light sleepers. Location-wise, it's perfectly placed near Tsuruhashi and Susukino—great for dining, shopping, and nightlife. Public transit access to downtown Sapporo is super convenient. Overall, it’s a no-brainer for travelers looking for value, atmosphere, and a genuine Japanese hostel experience.
Hotel Hashimoto is absolutely fantastic! The traditional Japanese-style room was warm and inviting, with a cozy atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The only minor downside was the bath area being smaller than expected, but it was still clean and well-maintained. What really stood out was the breakfast experience—waking up early to head over to the nearby Nijo Market was such a treat. We enjoyed fresh seafood for breakfast, and it was incredibly delicious and authentic. If you're visiting during winter with heavy luggage, we highly recommend entering from Tora no Mochi Icho-machi instead of the main entrance—it’s more convenient and easier to navigate on snowy days. Overall, this stay was exceptional, and we’ll definitely be back.
Staying at SappoLodge was such a unique and memorable experience. The vibe here is absolutely fantastic—there’s a cozy bar downstairs where guests can unwind, chat with fellow travelers, or just enjoy a quiet drink after a long day. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to help with a smile. What stood out most was how easy it was to communicate in English—no language barriers at all, which made everything feel seamless. Even though the location isn’t right in the heart of downtown, it’s just a short 15-minute subway ride away, making it convenient for exploring Sapporo. I especially loved the relaxed, community-like atmosphere—the kind that makes you feel like you’re part of something special. It’s not just a place to sleep; it’s a space to connect, relax, and truly enjoy your stay. Highly recommend this hidden gem for anyone looking for a warm, authentic experience in Sapporo.
Staying here for five nights was a fantastic experience overall. The dorm rooms are spacious—perfect for unpacking two 29-inch suitcases—and each bunk has a privacy curtain, which is a nice touch. Every bed comes with a power outlet, so charging devices wasn’t an issue at all. They even offered one free towel change during our stay, which was thoughtful for longer guests. The only minor downside is that there’s just one shared bathroom, and you need to change into slippers before entering, which can be a bit of a hassle. However, the cleanliness and organization make it manageable. Early arrivals can store luggage for ¥200—a small fee but very convenient. Location-wise, it's literally steps from two bustling markets, perfect for food lovers and shopping. It takes about 10 minutes to reach Odori Station on foot, where you can spot the famous clock tower along the way. Great vibe, excellent value, and I’d definitely come back.
Located right in the heart of Susukino, this capsule hotel offers unbeatable convenience for exploring Sapporo’s vibrant downtown area. The check-in process is super smooth—self-service kiosks are available with clear gender-specific stations (left for women, right for men), so you can get settled in seconds without waiting. What really stands out is the thoughtful design: separate floors and dedicated elevators for each gender ensure privacy and peace of mind. Unlike traditional double-decker capsules, the Z-shaped layout places upper and lower pods on opposite sides, minimizing noise and disturbance between levels—huge win for a good night’s sleep. Even though the neighborhood is packed with bars and nightlife, the hotel remains calm and quiet, making it a perfect retreat after a long day out. It’s not just affordable—it’s smartly designed, efficient, and truly comfortable. A top choice for travelers who value both location and restful comfort.
Staying at Villa Koshido Kotoni in Sapporo was an absolute highlight! The location is unbeatable—just a 2-minute walk from Exit 1 of the Kotoni Station, making it super convenient for exploring the city. Around the station, you’ll find everything you need: a 7-Eleven, fresh produce shops, cozy izakayas, and even an Aeon supermarket open until 10 PM. For those who want to cook, there’s also a 24-hour Maxvalue supermarket nearby—perfect for late-night snacks or essentials. The villa comes with a fully equipped kitchen, though knives aren’t provided due to safety reasons. No worries though—just head up to the 3rd floor of the Aeon Mall and check out Daiso; you can pick up quality kitchen knives and scissors for under ¥100. Super affordable and practical. Overall, this place offers comfort, convenience, and great value—definitely my top choice for future trips to Sapporo!
Staying at JR Sapporo Nikko Hotel was an absolute delight from start to finish. The service was exceptional—staff went above and beyond, even carrying my luggage up to the room and neatly placing it on the shelf for easy access. I was especially impressed by the spa, which is exclusively available to guests in the morning, so it’s never crowded and feels truly relaxing. I spent a peaceful moment lounging in a quiet corner, enjoying soft music and a refreshing ice cream—perfect way to unwind after a long journey. Breakfast was a highlight too: I tried both the Japanese-style and buffet options, but the Japanese meal stood out with its fresh ingredients and authentic flavors. Everything felt thoughtfully curated. Located just steps from the subway, it’s incredibly convenient for exploring Sapporo. This hotel offers an unbeatable mix of comfort, service, and value—I’ll definitely be returning.
