Hotels Near Hill of the Buddha in Sapporo

The room was simple but clean and quiet, the breakfast was buffet style and delicious and comfortable stay. It faces Nakajima Park across the street and is also suitable for walking around Nakajima Park in the morning. The location of the hotel is the nearest station of Horohirabashi Station on the Sapporo Municipal Subway Nanboku Line, about ５ walk from the station, and the transportation is convenient. The chain of this hotel has a long-established inn in Hokkaido such as ”Hotel Nord” and ”Hakodate International Hotel”, and it was polite to respond to the employees, probably because of the influence.

Small room, 1 block from the Snow Festival's Susukino Ice Sculptures We stayed here for 7 nights during the Sapporo Snow Festival. Our GPS didn't work very well so it took a while to get to our hotel. It's about 6 blocks from the subway exit. Best to know the way to get there beforehand but there are many exits from the subway which can get confusing. The hotel itself is modern. The rooms are very small. No closet so if you have a lot of luggage, this could be a problem. Next to the bed is a tiny table and chair/stool. Complimentary tea. The best amenity is that it has a public washer and dryer for your laundry on the 6th floor. When traveling, this is a gold standard. It cost 300 yen for the washer and 100 yen for the dryer. I had to cycle the dryer a few times but still very reasonable for the convenience. The laundry room also has vending machines for hot and cold drinks and a microwave. Their restaurant offers a simple buffet for breakfast for 1000 yen. English is limited. As far as location, if you are planning on going to the Snow Festival, I would recommend booking a hotel early (almost a year ahead) so you can stay closer to Odori train station. While you can walk from the Susukino to Odori subway station underground (or take the train), it can get tiresome by the end of the day especially walking through the snow once you get to the festival. The plus side of staying in Susukino is that the subway is close so you can get to most attractions around Sapporo with subway and a bus ride/walking the rest of the way. The ice sculptures which are part of the snow festival are located nearby this hotel.

The stay experience is great, the house environment is super warm and comfortable, clean and tidy, the bedding is warm and the landlord butler is warm, the transportation is very convenient, the surrounding drugstores and supermarkets are very close, it is recommended to stay.

Overall is good, however, we had booked a 3 persons room, but we could only have 2 room keycards. The counter peoples said that it is your hotel rule, they can only give 2 room keycards regardless of what room type it is. It is very inconvenient, in order to suit for each person shopping preference, we come back to hotel at different time. With only 2 room keys, we need to go down to pick up the one who did not have room key as the lift does not stop at guest floor without key. I travel a lot, most hotel will provide room keycard for each guest, so 3-person room should have 3 room key cards.

Nice location which is not far from the station Odori. But it was a pity there is no onsen in the hotel. The reception was nice. The bathroom in the room was lage compared with the other hotel I stayed when I was in Hokkaido. 😂

Our trip to sapporo this round was aiming for Sapporo Winter Festival. It has been my dream years ago. It is such a blessing that the my room view is direct to the area of odori park. I was able to watch how they set up for the festival week. Location of hotel is walkable distance to most of the tourist spots, and also location walkable distance to tram station and train station. Since we took airport limousine bus, they dropped us straight in front of the hotel. And most importantly, i booked also package from another site that require us to wait at the lobby. Very convenient! They provide towels and aminities without us request. Thank you so much!!! Definitely will be back!

Overall are good, value for money. Simple hotel with good location which took about 10 -15 mins walk to main attractions like Sapporo tv tower, Tanukikoji shopping street. The only thing is not sure why the room is dusty, we keep sneezing and coughing during our stay.wven with the air purifier tune on when we stay in the room. Good that they will change nre towel daily even we not request to makeup our room Reception staff is friendly and polite but no mineral water provided during check-in or daily during our stay.2nd floor has vending machine, laundry and ice machine provided. There is family mart within 5 mins walks.

We recently stayed at the Grand Mercury in Sapporo and had a generally positive experience. The hotel's location is very strategic, allowing easy access to various attractions in the city. One of the major perks was the free parking, which added significant convenience to our stay. The room size was quite large, providing ample space for our kids to run around, which was a big plus for us. Additionally, the location is pretty quiet, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep. While the hotel was fairly clean, it wasn't spotless. I'd give the cleanliness a rating of about 8 out of 10. The service was okay, with many self-service options available, which might suit some guests more than others. Overall, the Grand Mercury is a good choice if you're looking for a convenient location, spacious rooms, and free parking in Sapporo.

We stayed in nine hotels during our six week Winter visit to Japan; this hotel was the third most stylish but the second most uncomfortable. The corner double room has the right look with a little tea room next to a floor to ceiling window. We had a partial view of the Botanical Gardens which was pretty. The room was uncomfortable for the following reasons: 1. No storage. The room fit out is super minimal but if you have luggage there's nowhere to put it and no hanging space. 2. The designer was going for a zen low lighting experience but the room was so dark we couldn't see anything. There is one dim lamp next to the bed and another low light overhead light. It was so dark we had to borrow desk lamps to be able to see into our suitcases. Maybe the designer was trying to create a moody atmosphere but we found it dreary and depressing. 3. The thermostat has no fine controls - the room was either way too hot or very cold. We chose to turn the heat off and borrow extra blankets and wear extra layers. We chose the corner double room which despite being one of the larger rooms, felt too cramped for a four day stay. The onsen was stylish and cool. The outdoor onsen was set in cute snowscape. Having an onsen with snow around you felt very luxe. Unfortunately this hotel attracts a certain young, nouveau riche clientele who take selfies endlessly in this Instagram ready hotel. There were men taking photos of themselves in the onsen on two occasions; I felt like my privacy had been violated as I was in the same bath. It upset me they didn't respect me enough to abstain from taking video footage. Did they do that just because my partner and I were clearly not Japanese? We enjoyed the authentic breakfast, although I feel like having it once probably would have been enough. The location of the hotel was a bit of a dead zone, unless you love walking there are probably more central locations. If you can't speak Japanese the staff are just OK. I was overcharged and managed to get a refund even despite the language barrier. I would not stay at this hotel again but I did enjoy certain aspects of my stay.
