Scenic Hotels in Sapporo

"The hotel is clean and comfortable, with a great location, a 10-minute walk from the city center. The hotel manager and staff are incredibly friendly and provide first-class Japanese service. The breakfast selection isn't extensive, but it's well-chosen, and the main courses are cooked to order. Finally, I'd like to thank Moriyama-san for helping me with reservations and restaurant recommendations over the past two weeks."

"The size of the single room is slightly larger than that of a general Japanese hotel. The toilet and shower room are two rooms, which are separated into dry and wet areas. In addition, the external floor of the shower room is also waterproofed. This means that you don't need to stand in the bathtub to take a shower. The TV is just an ordinary TV, without built-in apps such as YouTube. Breakfast is semi-self-service: only one bagel is provided as the main course, but other types of bread (waffles, sliced ​​bread, etc.) and drinks are self-service. The staff has a good service attitude. The hotel is very close to Zepp Sapporo."

"The overall experience was excellent. Slippers are required upon entering the inn, and the tatami mat flooring felt wonderfully clean and comfortable. We booked a room with a private indoor hot spring, which was incredibly convenient, allowing us to enjoy a soak whenever we pleased. The half-board plan was very practical. We stayed for two days, and each meal was different, which kept things fresh and exciting. There were complimentary snacks available near the dinner entrance, and they even offered free ramen as a late-night supper. Each day, our room was also replenished with complimentary drinks and snacks. If you're visiting Dingxishan for a hot spring getaway, I would definitely recommend this place. The only minor drawback was perhaps its location being quite close to a main road. My room and private indoor hot spring, at least, overlooked the main road, which wasn't very scenic."

"The hotel is so crowded and full of people (mostly local people). We waited 10-15 minutes I'm a queue everytime when we went for dinner/breakfast buffet, and then queued up again at counters before we got the food. The dining hall can hold a few hundred people and was in almost full capacity when. We visited. It was not a pleasant experience to us as we came to enjoy the onsen and food, but not to compete with the crowd. Onsen was average. Food was average and tasted like those prepared from food factory. Frankly speaking, I won't come for the second time despite the competitive price. Service was average and no smile on the face of the receptionist."

"I was lucky this time. Dingshanxi Happiness Hotel is really good👍 The hotel is very new, the room is spacious, and there is an independent hot spring in the room, the water keeps flowing to keep the water hot👍👍👍 The mattress was just the right hardness and softness, and I had a good night's sleep! Dinner is even more joyful! Tokachi beef is rich in flavor, full of beef flavor, and cooked properly, Yummy😋 Front desk clerk is friendly I will choose this one again next time! recommend"

"I chose this hotel specifically for its private bath, only to discover that reservations must be made 2-3 months in advance via email/phone call. The hotel does provide a shuttle bus from Sapporo city, which typically takes about an hour, but you also need to book that at least a month in advance, according to various bloggers. It was quite disappointing not to enjoy the private bath experience and to have to arrange our own transportation from/back to the city. The frustrating part is that you wouldn’t know the advance booking requirement when you make a reservation through Trip.com or similar platforms. Here’s a rephrased version of your statement: I honestly find this quite unfair."

"stayed here for two days ，the hotel is in a good location and it's a relatively nice hot - spring hotel in the local area. Here are some aspects that I found a bit inconvenient during my check-in, and I'd like to share them with you. 1. The housekeeper suggested wearing the clothes and slippers provided by the hotel. It's a pity that all the sizes are the same. It doesn't matter much about the clothes, but the slippers are too big. They make it extremely difficult to walk and it's very easy to and fall. 2. There are a lot of steps in the room. An elderly person in my family tripped and fell when going to the toilet in the middle of the night. You must be careful at night. 3. Most of the customers are Japanese. As for payment, they can only pay in cash or use Visa or Master cards. UnionPay cards cannot be used here. 4. One last thing to pay special attention to is the door of the room. You need to lock it additionally both when entering and exiting the room. If you don't fasten all the locks from the inside when you come in, people outside will be able to open the door. We've already had the embarrassing experience of three of us lying in bed when a group of people suddenly burst in from outside. Please keep this in mind."

"My stay at Jozankei Ivylodge this time was utterly thrilling. The hotel offered top-notch service, including a dedicated 1-on-1 butler who was attentive and thoughtful throughout our entire stay. Waking up to the sound of birdsong in the morning, and opening my eyes to an expanse of lush greenery, was breathtakingly beautiful. The thoughtful little touches were a definite bonus, like the complimentary POLA samples – a wonderful unexpected surprise. Dinner was a traditional Kaiseki meal, a leisurely, drawn-out affair from dusk till dark, with every single course exquisitely prepared. Upon leaving, I had only one thought: see you again!"

"As soon as we arrived, a waiter helped carry our luggage to the room and served us with wine. After that, we were introduced to the hotel's facilities. (Remember to make a reservation in advance to get on the tour bus in Sapporo) The journey takes about an hour The hotel has spa services and a coffee machine for all-you-can-drink. Every dish for dinner will be introduced. After the meal, there are cakes and rice balls🍙Drinks can be brought to the room Breakfast semi-buffet includes salad bar and set meals The rooms and private baths look out to the snowy scenery and have great views. The hotel will take us to the bus station when we leave. The service is very good. The service and food are first-class. I will go there again if I have the chance."

"My first visit to Otaru was truly unforgettable, all thanks to my experience at this wonderful hotel! Located just a pleasant 20-minute drive from Otaru Station, the hotel is nestled in a tranquil, private area that feels like stepping into a captivating wonderland. I was delighted to discover a bus stop right across from the hotel, making it effortlessly convenient to explore the surroundings. From the moment we arrived, the staff welcomed us warmly by name, and they were incredibly helpful with our luggage. Taking off our shoes upon entering the hotel created a feeling of comfort and cleanliness that made us feel right at home. After a smooth check-in process, during which they confirmed our breakfast time, the staff graciously guided us through the hotel, sharing helpful information about opening hours for various amenities. Our room was beautifully adorned in traditional Japanese style, complete with an open-air bath. Enjoying this serene experience during the winter was simply magical! We also savored a delectable Kaiseki dinner in our room, which was not only a feast for our taste buds but also left us delightfully satisfied. The onsens were a real highlight, featuring an adjacent sauna. With daily alternating access for women and men every other day, we were able to enjoy both during our stay. Families will find this hotel exceptionally accommodating, thanks to its variety of playrooms and relaxation spaces catering to guests of all ages. Plus, the complimentary refreshments and bar in the lobby until 10 PM added a lovely touch to our experience. Breakfast was a true delight, with a peaceful view of the snow outside the restaurant, enhancing the serene atmosphere. On our departure day, the hotel thoughtfully arranged a shuttle bus to take us to the JR station, making our exit seamless and convenient. Looking back, our only regret is that we stayed just one night—I can't wait to return and immerse myself in a different season's beauty. This hotel is now firmly on my list for future visits, and I’m already looking forward to the next adventure!"
