Hotels With Bars in Hokkaido, Japan

They offer a free shuttle bus from Sapporo Station, which I highly recommend taking, especially if you have luggage, as public buses might be difficult to board. The foreign staff at the front desk spoke excellent English! The hotel itself is quite spacious with a retro vibe. You can easily walk to the city center in about 20 minutes or take a few bus stops. For airport transfers, the airport shuttle picks up right outside the hotel, which is super convenient.

This was our second stay at Keio Plaza Hotel Sapporo, and as before, the rooms were clean and the overall atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. One of the things we valued during our 2024 stay was the convenience of returning our rental car at the Toyota Rent a Car branch located right at the hotel, plus easy access to an airport shuttle. However, this time we noticed the airport shuttle schedule has been cut down to just 2 trips a day, which made planning around it a bit trickier. If you're not renting a car, you might want to consider a hotel closer to Sapporo Station for better convenience. Overall, still a comfortable and reliable hotel, just worth planning your transport around the updated shuttle times.

Overall, it was a great stay. The location is super convenient, right outside the JR station and close to all the main attractions. The interior is very new and the facilities are excellent. The service was also good. A particular highlight is the fantastic bike rental right outside the hotel – incredibly convenient! The price was reasonable too. I highly recommend these bikes; they're electric-assisted and you can pretty much see all the major Hakodate sights in one day. The only minor downside was the duvet. It was too thin, and with temperatures around 10-15 degrees Celsius at night and no air conditioning, it was uncomfortable for someone used to thicker bedding. They provided a few blankets, but they were not very comfortable and tended to slip off. Hotels in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka usually allow you to request extra duvets, but apparently not in Hokkaido. Also, the soundproofing wasn't as good as hotels in Tokyo or Osaka. I kept hearing some banging noise from next door in the morning. Despite these small issues, it was a good experience overall, and I would definitely choose this hotel again when I visit Hakodate in the future.

The basics of all city hotels - location, location, location..... !!! And Hotel Stream is smacked in the heart of everything Sapporo has to offer unless you prefer a quieter and calmer spot then this hotel is NOT for you. Rooms are pretty standard in terms of size and amenities, it's, quiet, and great for city strolling. If your intention is to use this hotel as your base to do day trips to Furano & Biei, The Hill of the Buddha Moai, or the renowned Otaru (which unfortunately isn't that muchl unless you're a die hard music box & glass making fan) this is your BEST CHOICE until Hyatt House opens in Oct 2026 (a bird told me - for those Globalist out there) . Oh... a BIG tip by the way (if you've been reading till this point: request for a room with a direct view of the Sapporo's ferries wheel (not that I am a fan lol) or the view of the Nikka advertisement on my attached photo - they are worth it. It's amazing to sleep with such stunning view and wake up to one..... (check out my photos taken from my room) In case you wonder if that pic of me by the glass overlooking thr Nikka ad sign - that's the main breakfast restaurant where you will be having your daily breakfast but u have to get there early to book that seat, otherwise sit through breakfast till they close and then u get to take this photo for as long as you please...... Ok ok ok... i know I'm a little long winded. But hey... oh yeah... u need to know that you can take a limousine bus from CTS (Chitose International Airport) to Susukino which takes about 50mins on way for JPY1500 per person. Easy weasy and the from the bus stop in susukino where most will disembark - it's only a 5min walk to Hotel Stream which ISN'T that obvious as the hotel sign is NOT exactly on the building. You have to look out for a building that reads ”Coco-something” (ops forgotten the name of the building) and the hotel lobby is located on the 7th floor of that building which also house a shopping center, movie theater and numerous restaurants. If you're srill reading this - give me a like already and don't be stingy with that click will ya? Lol. Up next - I'll bee reviewing my hotel in Noboribetsu, Lake Toya, Hakodate and eventually Waldorf Astoria Osaka. Watch out for my space k. Until next time, may you be well and may the force be with you.

I arrived in Sapporo late at night and took a taxi from Sapporo JR Station to the hotel, which cost about 1800 yen. The next morning, as I pulled open the curtains, I was absolutely stunned: before me was a beautiful world of pristine white snow, with Nakajima Park spread out in full view. I was so grateful for the clear blue sky, allowing the distant mountains to be clearly visible. It truly lived up to its name as a 'room with a view.' Although the facilities are a bit dated, the room layout is very practical, and the bathroom is spacious enough. The bedding and linens are all of high quality. The breakfast buffet was plentiful and excellent. Eating breakfast in the ground floor restaurant, with its large floor-to-ceiling windows, and watching the snow silently fall from the trees was an indescribable pleasure. Even better was the hotel's location for transportation. Nakajima Koen Station's Exit 3 and Exit 1 are only a two-minute walk from the hotel, making getting around incredibly convenient! The front desk service was also impeccable. We stayed for a total of three nights, but had to switch rooms for the third night. When we returned in the evening, the staff had already moved all our luggage to the new room. It was a very thoughtful gesture.

I stayed on a Friday, and since it was the off-season, it was incredibly quiet and relaxing. The lounge offered alcoholic beverages from check-in until around 9 PM, along with some light snacks. I heard you can also order paid items from a QR code. The public bath isn't very spacious, but it has two tubs: an indoor bath and a semi-open-air bath. (Perhaps not many guests use it since the rooms also have hot spring water.) I assume their main clientele are international visitors during the winter season. Most of the staff were foreign, but I didn't encounter any issues. Given the off-season, the value for money is excellent, making it well worth the trip from Sapporo for a relaxing weekend.

Have been to this airport 3 times, 1st time using this hotel to catch the early morning flight out. It’s ambience quite an eerie experience, a bit difficult to find the hotel initially😄 Otherwise the room was big, toilet & amneties was great! Staffs were very helpful & friendly. Would highly recommend this place if wanna good rest before flight out.

Very nice and comfortable hotel. After a long flight, we were happy to say we had a very very good sleep. We only woke up at 5.14am thinking we overslept but Hokkaido summer is here and sunrise is around 4am! We love the Onsen and its cleanliness. The staff were helpful and attentive. They sent us extra pillows very quickly. This hotel is about 10-15 minutes walk from the JR station. Use the north exit - you'll only see the North Exit sign when you exit either East or West ticket gates. We had to find the sign and even the staff gave us the wrong information!

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the wonderful team at the hotel for making my stay truly exceptional. The breakfast was delicious every morning, the room service was excellent — truly among the best I’ve experienced — and the laundry service was very convenient. The hotel’s location also made it easy to walk to nearby sightseeing spots, which added even more enjoyment to my trip. My sincere thanks to 大高, who showed exceptional patience and kindness while helping me book the bus to 登別溫泉. She even went the extra mile to contact another hotel and arrange a pickup for me on May 3rd. Her thoughtful support made my journey much smoother. I am also very thankful to 陳家仁, who provided clear and helpful advice on how to take the bus. His guidance and willingness to assist gave me great confidence during my travels. Additionally, I want to give special appreciation to 神永, whose professionalism and dedication were outstanding. He clearly enjoys his role, and his support with the shuttle bus departure was both efficient and reassuring. My heartfelt thanks also go to Assistant Manager Hayashi Shuko, who demonstrated excellent leadership and warm hospitality throughout my stay. Her attentiveness and professionalism added greatly to the overall experience. I would also like to acknowledge Bell Antony and the entire bell team for their well organized arrangements for guests taking the free shuttle bus. Their coordination was smooth, thoughtful, and very helpful. To all of them — and to the entire hotel team — thank you for your warm hospitality and excellent service. You made my stay memorable, comfortable, and full of positive experiences. I am truly grateful.

I just realized I completely forgot to take photos of the room! It looked pretty much like the sample pictures on Trip.com. Japanese hotels are generally small, and this one wasn't particularly spacious, but I could open up my 26-inch suitcase on the floor. **Location:** It's at the end of Tanukikoji Shopping Street. It's a bit of a walk to Susukino and Odori Station, but there are plenty of great places to eat along the way. Ichiran Ramen, Katsu Ichi Sen Conveyor Belt Sushi, Soul Store Soup Curry, and Espresso D Works for brunch are all within walking distance. So, aside from when I was arriving and departing (when I'd take a taxi to Sapporo Station), I walked everywhere else to digest after meals. **Cleanliness:** They clean every two days, which is acceptable. **Facilities:** There's no bathtub, but the shower pressure is excellent and very comfortable. What's worth mentioning are their Pola toiletries – after using them, my hair felt incredibly light and voluminous, with no tangles at all. There's an outdoor onsen on the top floor, but I didn't get to try it, which is a shame. Overall, it's pretty good value for money; the location is great, making it convenient for travel.
