Hotel Monterey Edelhof Sapporo

Hotel Monterey Edelhof Sapporo

10/10 Excellent

"The warmth, charm, and professionalism of the young woman who checked me in upon my early arrival, and checked me out at my departure, will not be forgotten. There was nothing not to like during my stay."

Hotel Mystays Sapporo Aspen

Hotel Mystays Sapporo Aspen

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed in a room with a queen bed. It was quiet, comfortable, and clean. The only drawback was that there was no space to put clothes except for a few hangers along the wall. I used the small table in the room to lay out my suitcase - not a problem as I was traveling solo. I would stay here again because of the cleanliness of the room, the comfortable bed, the helpful staff, and the location within a five minute walk from the subway station."

Granbell Hotel Otaru

Granbell Hotel Otaru

10/10 Excellent

"Online pics showed a room with a desk but mine had only a bench and small low table. I asked the front desk staff to help with making a reservation and they refused and instead wanted me to use a QR code for a reservation service that did not have the restaurant listed. They just stared at me blankly."

Quintessa Hotel Sapporo Susukino

Quintessa Hotel Sapporo Susukino

8/10 Good

"위치는 스스키노 역에서 두블럭정도라 아주 좋았고 방은 트리플인데도 트윈 크기에 침대를 억지로 하나더 놓은 상태라 좁게 지냈음 직원들은 친절하고 조식도 아기자기하게 먹을만 했음. 다만 1층 공용화장실은 지린내가 많이 났음. 가격대비 괜찮은 편임."

Hotel Torifito Otaru Canal

Hotel Torifito Otaru Canal

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely love this hotel. It is walkable to Otaru Canal and Sankaku Market. We do not have a parking lot on 1st day but it is not an issue as there are plently of options nearby. Family Mart is few steps away. The breakfast was good quality. We enjoyed it very much every morning and picked a 9am slot for non peak timing. The public bath was small and decent."
