Staying at Rembrandt Style Sapporo was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The hotel’s location is unbeatable—right next to the train station, making it super convenient for getting around Sapporo or heading out for day trips.

Parking costs just 800 yen per day, which is incredibly reasonable. The bathroom features a smart dry-wet separation design and includes a small bathtub, adding comfort to the stay.

Staying at KOKO Hotel Sapporo Odori was one of those rare moments where travel truly feels like living. Visiting Hokkaido during the off-season turned out to be unexpectedly magical—fewer crowds, softer light, and a calm that wraps around you like a warm blanket.

Theatel Sapporo
I did pre-check-in via email, which made the process super smooth and stress-free. The hotel had already noted my request for a lower-floor room, and they honored it—such a thoughtful touch! I brought the earplugs just in case, but honestly, the room was incredibly quiet—no voices, no loud noises at all. The bedding was soft and cozy, and I slept like a baby. The bathroom and sink area were spotless, and having a dedicated hair dryer (one unit) was such a nice surprise—it’s rare to find that in budget-friendly places. Everything about this stay felt well thought out. If I’m traveling solo again, I’d definitely book here without hesitation. Truly excellent value for money.
Bios
We stayed here with our kids, and everything we needed was already provided—detergent, a leak-proof large trash can, clothes drying rods, extension cords, and more. It was incredibly convenient, especially with all the cleaning supplies freshly restocked, giving a great sense of cleanliness and peace of mind. The listing mentions free parking, but that seems to be inaccurate. However, there’s a reasonably priced coin parking right next door, so finding a spot wasn’t an issue at all. Plus, a 7-Eleven is literally across the street, making late-night snacks or small essentials super easy to grab. One downside: since we visited during summer, the air conditioning wasn’t strong enough—days were quite hot. But at night, having a fan helped us open the window and stay comfortable. Overall, it’s a solid choice, especially for families looking for convenience and a home-like feel.

Yet just a short walk to Odori Park brings you right into the heart of the city’s vibrant energy. Getting here from Sapporo Station is super easy—just exit at Gate 24, turn onto the side street, and it’s about a 10-minute walk. The route is well-marked, making navigation stress-free. Overall, this place offers unbeatable convenience without sacrificing comfort. It’s an excellent choice for travelers who want both tranquility and accessibility.
