I got a single ensuite room for only 3200 yen/night - very cheap for business hotels of its class! The location was not too far from Sapporo Station, unless maybe you're not used to walking.

Payment was done through a machine. Near the elevator, there's a cupboard where we could get the amenities like pajama that we need.

The room was clean and nice although as far as I remember I had a bit of difficulty in adjusting the temperature - but that could have happened in another hotel where I stayed in my trip... so don't take my word for this one.

The breakfast was simple but nice. After breakfast time is over, the dining room changes into a restaurant that offers meals that are quite large for its price.

Clean, cheap, with all the facilities I needed

Have stayed here on numerous occasions. Consistency has been the key. Being located across the road from Nagashima Coen, The Park Hotel, and the subway makes this location very convenient. Susikino's nightlife, bars and restaurants are only a short stroll away, as is Odori park.
The hotel is neat and being somewhere to rest your head it manages that and more. The breakfast of juices, coffees and sweet bread with the occasional toast and fruit toast suffices. If you need more, convenience stores are nearby for milk coffees, fruit salad, yoghurt and assorted nuts.
The rooms are clean and neat, the staff efficient and friendly and all this for an economical price.

Economical

This hotel is close to Nakajima Park (Nakajima Koen), where the park itself is nice place to visit. It is a small hotel, hence service is more personalised. Overall service is courteous and friendly, though using English with the staff is challenging. The room size is adequate, but bathroom rather compact. The breakfast is simple with a spread of 4-5 different breads, salad, coffee, fruit juices. Unfortunately the breakfast selection remains the same throughout the 5 days I was staying there. Overall, it is very clean, and the daily room cleaning service is excellent. The wifi is good and strong, and free throughout the hotel! The hotel is a very short walk to a subway train station. The famed Susukino is 1 station away, in fact it is a straightline 10-15 minutes walk. Odori Park is 2 stations away, and takes you 20-25 minutes walking.

A quiet retreat, yet not far from noisy and bustling Susukino

Clean; small rooms ; when check-in says 1500 it means 1500  - the idea of checking with the cleaners when it might be ready is not one to introduce ... A bit Hokkaido.  But they're happy to keep your luggage and will even put it in your room for you).  Breakfast a simple buffet affair with eggs, sausages, sweet breads and hot/cold drinks in a nice light room.  Free reasonably good wifi.

My main plus is that it's a 5 minute walk north from the main station (well in my case 20 minutes with inappropriate travel shoes and a heavy suicase over the ice ... )

My main minus is that it's rather characterless.

So overall - OK, a straight three bubbles.  I think when I booked it was also good value for money, but I booked in an odd week).

Good location midrange hotel, nothing special

Located near Hokkaido university, at around 10 minutes walk from the JR Sapporo station. Quiet street. There's a small supermarket (Aeon) at one minute walk opened until 23:00.

There's a free breakfast until 9:30, but you'll only find toasts at 9, take your breakfast early for a chance to grab a mini croissant or two. Coffee was ok, but avoid the orange juice (served not cold, and industrial made taste).
The staff didn't seem to speak much English.

The room is simple, small but big enough for one person. There's no view from the window, not even the street or a parking, just a wall.

I had a problem with the TV in my room that didn't seem to work. I called the reception to explain the situation (in Japanese), the staff apologized very politely, hung the phone... But no one came to check the TV. I decided to try to fix it by myself and unplugged all cables in the back, and replugged all properly. It worked, but found dust and a used cotton swab between the desk and the TV set... gross.

The first night was terrible, I heard the person staying at the next room going to the toilet several times, and even the alarm clock at 6am and when this person took a shower.
I didn't have any neighbor the second night and could sleep better.

I had a note placed in my bathroom on the second day, I honestly didn't understand a word of it (check the photo).

I paid around 7000 yen a night, and for this price I expected much better. The overall experience was below the average.
