3-Star Hotels in Sapporo

I loved Nukumori No Yado Furukawa! I was an American solo traveler, but my wife is Japanese (we have 2 boys), so I am very familiar with Japanese culture. I wanted to go to a place that Japanese people would love, not a tourist-focused place. From the moment I entered, the service was excellent. I was greeted, checked in quickly, then accompanied to my room for explanations of how everything operates. My room was very comfortable. The facilities, including bath area, foot soaking areas, lobby, lounges, etc. - were all clean and comfortable. The lounge next to the lobby was a cozy place to relax, and most of the lounges included food and drink during at least some point of the day. I visited in mid-October so the leaves were changing color and the temperature outside was crisp but not too cold. Breakfast and dinner were outstanding. I hope to return again with the rest of my family. Highly recommended!

This hotel is incredibly close to the Odori subway station exits, with various lines nearby, just a 2-3 minute walk away. If you're someone who doesn't want to drag your luggage far, this place is perfect! And the biggest plus? There's an airport bus stop right in front of the hotel with direct service to New Chitose Airport 🚌. No need to squeeze onto the subway on your way back – it's a lifesaver for those with big luggage! It's also about a 6-8 minute walk to PARCO and Tanukikoji, making shopping and dining super convenient.

This is our second stay at this hotel. We chose it again because of its convenient location. The airport shuttle bus drops you off right across the street, and it's super easy to catch a bus back to the airport from here too. Plus, it's right next to Risho-dori 2, and there are two convenience stores nearby.

Location is very good 👍🏻 right in the city of Sapporo. Many restaurant & shop by walking distance. Breakfast also great with many varieties. Very spacious & quiet room. Will stay again when back to Sapporo 😊 Lobby Lawson convenient shop is open 24hr, easy us anytime need food & drink just step down can get 👍🏻

If you’re looking for a spot in Sapporo that’s right in the thick of things without breaking the bank, KOKO HOTEL Sapporo Odori is a total win. It’s tucked just a block or two away from Odori Park—which is a lifesaver if you're there for the Snow Festival—and you can wander over to the Tanukikoji shops or the Susukino nightlife in just a few minutes. The rooms are definitely on the cozy side (very typical for Japan), but they’re super clean, modern, and surprisingly quiet given how central you are. Plus, they have an awesome amenity bar in the lobby where you can grab all your skincare and coffee essentials on your way up. It’s basically the perfect ”crash pad” for anyone who plans on spending most of their day exploring the city rather than sitting in a hotel room.

The hotel's location is great, quite close to the JR station. It's a five-minute walk to Daimaru. Although the room is small, it has everything you need, and the staff are very enthusiastic and friendly! I arrived at noon that day, and they arranged an early check-in for me, which I really appreciate!

The room isn't huge, but there's just enough space by the bathroom door for two suitcases. To fully open them and pack, you'll need to use the bed, which is typical for Japanese hotels, so it's acceptable. It's a bit of a walk to Susukino subway station, a few blocks away, and it's even harder in the snow. I had to go to the Susukino airport bus stop, which is only a few hundred meters away, but with snow and luggage, it would have taken about 40 minutes to walk. I ended up taking a taxi from the hotel entrance, costing less than 100 RMB, and got there in just a few minutes, which was very convenient. Overall, the price was reasonable, around 400+ RMB per night.

The Good: - right on top of the underground links to many shopping areas. - walking distance to subway. - many restaurants nearby. Service staffs are friendly & helpful. The Bad: - room a bit small but expected. - bathroom & toilet have a high steps up. Very dangerous for elderly coming out of the bathroom as the step down is quite big.

Best for travelers prioritizing excellent cleanliness, great facilities (especially the sauna), and easy access to the Susukino area of Sapporo. 👍 The Good (Highlights): Unique Amenities: The hotel features a highly popular sauna on the top floor (not a traditional onsen) and offers free miso ramen in the evenings (usually 9 PM to 11 PM). Cleanliness & Style: Rooms are consistently rated as impeccably clean, modern, and stylishly designed. Location: Conveniently located near the Hosui-Susukino Subway Station (Exit 6 is often mentioned), making it easy to access the main Susukino district, Nijo Market, and the Sapporo TV Tower. Staff: The staff are very kind and helpful. 👎 The Not-So-Good (Drawbacks): Lighting: Some guests have noted that the lighting in the rooms can be slightly dark, which might be inconvenient for tasks like applying makeup. Dining: The immediate surrounding area right outside the hotel may have fewer restaurants or convenience stores compared to the absolute center of Susukino. Verdict: This hotel is a fantastic choice if you appreciate modern style, top-tier cleanliness, and are eager to take advantage of the unique sauna and free nightly ramen. Its slightly quieter location is balanced by excellent subway access.

Overall, the stay was comfortable with several thoughtful touches, though there were some design drawbacks. The beds were soft and comfortable, and it was especially convenient that the sofa bed had already been made up for my daughter when we arrived. Toiletries were provided at check-in, which was a nice and practical detail. The concierge staff were consistently polite and helpful, and I appreciated the flavoured water always available in the lobby. The location is also very convenient and made getting around easy. However, the room itself is quite small. The walkway between the door and the beds is extremely narrow, and one side of the bed sits directly against the wall, making it difficult to get out at night without disturbing your partner. My biggest concern was the onsen changing area. When I entered, it smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. Drying my hair there was unpleasant, and when I asked the front desk, I was told it was a designated smoking area. I found this surprising and disappointing, as it’s an enclosed space everyone must pass through to access the baths. Especially since the bath was lovely itself. Overall, the hotel offers comfort, convenience, and friendly service, but the room layout and smoking policy around the onsen detract from the experience.
