"For my trip to Sapporo, my top priority was the accommodation. While most Japanese hotels are clean, there are some exceptions, so I started searching six months before my trip, and this was my final choice.
Since it was a newly opened facility, the amenities and location were so excellent that I'd want to come back. However, I had read many reviews about construction noise, and there was a notice when I booked.
Being a light sleeper, I woke up 2-3 times on the first night due to the noise, while my husband said he slept well and wasn't bothered. I'm very sensitive to smells and sounds, so the construction noise sounded quite loud to me.
The facilities were clean and satisfactory, but I was a little disappointed to see a noticeable layer of dust on shelves and in corners of the room. The bedding and bed had a medium-hard firmness, similar to what we use at home, which was perfect.
What I liked most, undoubtedly, was the fantastic location, which made it easy to get anywhere. I would definitely consider revisiting for my next Sapporo trip if the construction noise is reduced.
There's a Patagonia store on the first floor of the hotel. They don't offer tax-free shopping, but if you look carefully in the outlet section, you can really snag some great deals... My husband and I got a Houdini, a Gata jacket, a hat, and more, all at very affordable prices."
