I booked this hotel because my husband wanted to try the famous breakfast.  The breakfast was quite good if you are into eating seafood don.  The other selections were fine.

The hotel room was kind of basic but sufficient for a short stay.  The hotel is across the street from the metro Nakajima Park exit 1 and the New Chitose airport bus station is right outside of the hotel.  It's a short walk to Susukino and the famous ramen street.

All in all, we were happy with our stay.  It's budget friendly and a great value.

Excellent location and great value

This was our first stop on our honeymoon and also our first trip to Hokkaido, and we had booked this place over New Years Eve and Day 2023-2024 for what was quite an affordable rate. There is decent English language support and as many other reviews have said - a great buffet breakfast. As it was snowing heavily, we didn't do as much walking as we ordinarily would have but this hotel would ordinarily only be about 10-15 minutes walk to Susukino which is the main entertainment area of Sapporo, but is also sufficiently out of the way so as to avoid huge crowds.

Great value option in Sapporo

This is our third stay at this hotel  and we found the hotel rooms to be always very clean and comfortable.

It is near to the Mido park, subway station and also to Susukino area.  There are many restaurants and ramen shop nearby too.  

They are most known for their wide selection of food for their buffet breakfast.  They offer the fresh seafood don, soup curry, sashimi and many local produce from Hokkaido.  

You definitely do not want to miss the wonderful buffet breakfast.

Very clean and comfortable

My sister booked this hotel for our last 2 nights in Sapporo. The location is a couple of minutes walk from Nakajima Koen ( Nakajima Park) Exist 1 & 15 mins walk to the fish market.

The hotel provides:
- welcome drink (coffee, green tea, juice, water) at the lobby from 2pm to 11pm.
- coin operated laundry service
- toiletries at lobby counter

The room is modernized, clean, bright. Do note that there is no room cleaning service unless requested from the front desk b4 10am. They do provide clean towel & bottle water everyday. It is part of their sustainable effort to reduce waste, natural resource.

This hotel is well know for their award winning breakfast. We purchased 1 day voucher to try it out , Yen2000 for adult. It indeeds provides wide varieties fresh seafood & you can make your unlimited seafood bowl/donburi.
My sister's family have enjoyed the breakfast but being a vegetarian , there was not much choices for me.

Outside the hotel, ~20 meter away, there is public bus stop for airport shuttle service to Chitose Airport. It costs Yen1100 for adult & Yen550 for child. 
However the LAST bus departing from this bus stop is 11AM !!

Overall we have enjoyed our stay in this hotel.

Pleasant 2 Night Stay 

Nice hotel, spacious room for a couple, next to the park to enjoy some silence and 5 mins walk to the main party space in sapporo of Suzukino.

Also, spacious bath and toilet (separate spaces).

And, of course, a really nice breakfast assortment. Worth including it as part of your booking.

Nice option in Susukino in Sapporo

Recently I have visited Sapporo with my friends. I stayed at this hotel for 2 days and found extremely nice hotel with very helpful staff, service and great breakfast. If I ever come back to Sapporo I will definitely go there again. 

Best hotel in Sapporo(Nakajima Koen station)

Stayed here recently for 3 nights with my wife and totally impressed with the hotel. Everything about the hotel was top class. The buffet breakfast is everything other reviewers say it is - wide choice, good quality and stations quickly replenished (of course leans more towards Japanese cuisine). Staff, especially at the the front desk just can’t do enough for you. Big thanks to Ms Kyo (Tyo ?) who even walked us to a nearby restaurant in the snow one evening!!! In terms of room, we stayed in premier twin which was very spacious with decent sized bathroom. Location-wise also excellent as it is only a 1-2min walk from Nakajimakoen subway station. Would definitely stay here again.

Very impressed 

I chose this hotel because it was top rated on TripAdvisor. While it was a good stay, a solid 4.5 star stay with some nice amenities, it had a few drawbacks:

Pros:
- great breakfast buffet. Everyone has said this but it bears repeating. Fresh sushi grade fish, western options as well as lots of Japanese options, several kinds of breads and rolls, several beverage choices, mini desserts, the gamut.
- nice freebies like hand warmers (needed in winter) and lotions 
- pretty good location. If you’re going to the airport, the airport bus picks up right outside. If you’re coming from the airport, it drops off a few blocks away. Note - only certain airport buses drop off near the hotel and Nakajima park. If you arrive after 5pm, chances are you’ll be dropped off in Suskino instead, which is a 10-15 min walk away. The location is both a pro and a con but more pro. 10 mins walk to the main downtown area and 15 mins walk to odori park. Right near Nakajima subway station as well if you don’t want to walk. So you’re near the action but not right in it. Could be a plus for some, minus for those who want to stay lit a little later or be surrounded by lots of restaurants and bars (Vessel isn’t - but there is a great izakaya right on the same block that serves tasty bbq lamb).

Cons:
- small room. Yes, you hear people complaining of small rooms through japan. I’m from nyc so used to small spaces. But this was small even for us (two small Asians). It was fine for a 3-4 night stay but others may be less fine with the lack of living space. Just a double bed pushed up against a wall and a tiny amount of space at the foot of the bed and along one side. Really prompts you not to eat too much at the buffet!

Overall, I’d stay here again as we are the kind of travelers for whom space is less of an issue. But others may want to keep this in consideration.

4.5 star stay 

Stayed as a family of four for seven nights. 

We’d initially booked in for a six night stay but we had to request the hotel for an additional night after our itinerary changed. Hotel refused to provide the additional night at the same rate as a goodwill, despite that we were already having a long stay. The other hotel we booked in Japan readily extended our stay at the same rate. 

The hotel is very close to Nakajima Park station – and it’s less than a minute walk away. The subway does get crowded during weekday peak hour mornings in the direction of Odori Park and Sapporo stations though.

There are just a small handful of restaurants in the immediate vicinity of the hotel: an Italian restaurant, and three or so Ramen joints. The large numbers of dining establishments are all clustered from the Susukino area onwards, and that involves at least quite a bit more walking. There are three convenience stores all within 1-2 minutes walk of the hotel if you'd like to take-out something simple.

Our double room was small and a fairly tight squeeze for two adults and two children. Decor and styling was bland with little attempt at cheering the place up, whether it’s in terms of use of aesthetic carpentry and woodwork, or even color palette. 

Sleep quality was OK, but nothing fantastic. The pillow is of an unusual design, and its internals comprise two different types of filler material, and thus supporting different sleeping postures.

The complimentary beverage corner on the ground floor – operating hours are 2PM to 11PM everyday – was a really nice bonus that we availed ourselves to every day.

There’s an in-hotel laundromat, with separate machines for washers and dryers. They are coin-operated and not on the house.

The breakfast that everyone comments about on Tripadvisor: there's a decent range, so if you’re one of those breakfast diners who want little bits of every item type, the breakfast buffet spread won’t disappoint you. If you’re hoping for one or two signature items for your palette though, you might not find it as the items were OK but not particularly memorable. There’s more than sufficient seating capacity too in the restaurant, and tables get cleared and readied again speedily.

In all, we enjoyed this stay but our expectations were also very high given this property's ranking on Tripadvisor. It's a decent enough place, but whether it's the best in the area, well, we're less convinced.

Decent hotel but not convinced it should be #1 on Tripadvisor for the area

The rooms are small but the location was good, located near to public transports. 

As we all know the hotel is famous for it’s buffet breakfast and it didn’t disappoint. The breakfast is sooooo good, especially the kaisendon! 

Not to forget, excellent customer service too
