Hotels With Spa in Hokkaido, Japan

Hotel is in the city centre and quite close to the basement metro. We can walk to the beer museum and the tanukikoji shopping street nearby. It's also a short distance walk to reach the underground shopping shops, which was very convenient. However the hotel doesn't provide hot water refills at the lobby, refills are only reachable inside the breakfast diner. We ordered hotel breakfast for the first day of stay but not for the second and third night, but the breakfast diner's receptionist still kindly let us in for refills of the hot water. Breakfast is on moderate level and menu variety could be better still, regarding the price paid. Not much seafood options to be found, besides the mini sashimi don.

This was my third stay, and I chose this hotel again because my previous two experiences were so good. However, this time was truly unacceptable. We arrived at the hotel around 11 AM. My daughter had injured her leg while skiing, so we asked the middle-aged woman at check-in if we could check in early. She said yes, but we'd have to pay for an additional day – what a rip-off! The funny thing is, they told us we could wait in the lobby until 3 PM without paying. The lobby was nice, so we decided to wait there instead of wasting about 1700 RMB. But then, to our surprise, we saw the staff taking our luggage and other belongings to our room much earlier, while we weren't allowed to enter. Crazy! On top of that, the Wi-Fi signal this time was incredibly poor, almost unusable. Reporting it to the hotel didn't help either; we had to use our own data. So, this stay was truly, truly, truly disappointing! Attached is a photo of my daughter in a wheelchair, and they still wouldn't let us check in early. That middle-aged woman was so inhumane!

The hotel is located in Odori, not far from Odori subway station, and actually quite close to Sapporo Station, about a 9-minute walk. The area is relatively quiet but still has convenience stores and restaurants, so the location is pretty good. I booked a Cross Floor room with a view of Sapporo TV Tower. The room isn't huge, but just about big enough to open two suitcases. The hotel doesn't provide bottled water; you need to get drinking water from the dispenser in the elevator area. However, guests on the Cross Floor get complimentary access to the lounge and public bath, which is a big plus for those who enjoy a drink. The breakfast selection was a bit limited and didn't feature any particularly impressive dishes.

The hotel has been renovated. Its hot spring facilities are quite unique; for example, women are required to shower unclothed before entering the rooftop open-air bath. The staff provided excellent service and had impressive language skills, though the parking fee was a bit steep. The hotel is conveniently located near Nusamai Bridge and the market.

This hotel, nestled in Sounkyo, is likely the highest and largest in the area. It boasts three hot spring baths, both indoor and outdoor, offering breathtaking views of the distant mountains, streams, and charming bridges – truly a serene experience. There's also a mid-mountain hot spring, beautifully landscaped with various trees that burst into different colors in autumn, and you can even smell the fresh grass. It's utterly therapeutic! Both dinner and breakfast are buffet style, featuring a wide array of local Hokkaido delicacies. The DIY grilled beef on a hot plate was exceptionally tender, and the scallops and salmon sashimi were delicious. Plus, there's unlimited drinks, and you can even mix your own cocktails! Red Leaves Valley is right next door, just a 5-minute walk. During autumn leaf season, they have light and shadow shows at night, which are worth checking out. The daytime scenery is even more stunning, and you can hike to the end where there's a small waterfall. Be aware, the path can be a bit challenging, so it's more of a short hiking trail.

The room was decent, no bathtub but the hotel has a public bath, which is standard for a business hotel. It's near Nakajima-Koen subway station, just across the street. A heads-up for everyone, it's in Nakajima Park, so if you're not near Susukino or Odori, it's a bit of a walk. It's not out of the way, but you do have to walk. Sapporo's subway isn't as frequent as Tokyo's, so sometimes walking might get you there just as fast. It's quite a hassle to drag luggage and parents through the snow when you can't use the underground walkway.

First off, the environment was great, and the facilities felt like a proper hotel. The deluxe single capsule space was also very comfortable. However, my room key, which was in its holder, went missing from my bed! When I went to check out after freshening up, I found the key holder empty. I retraced my steps for dozens of meters, but couldn't find it anywhere. I strongly suspect someone stole it when I went to freshen up and didn't close my curtain... Even though I've stayed in many hostels, I've never had anything stolen before... This card seems to be for accessing floors and the main door, not specific bed numbers, so everyone, please be careful with your personal belongings. Then, it was already checkout time, and I was charged 2000 yen for the lost card. The most frustrating part was when I came back to pick up my luggage. I was sitting at the counter next to the front desk for a few minutes waiting for someone, and then a middle-aged lady from the front desk specifically came over to tell me that after checking out, I wasn't allowed to sit in any of the public areas... I was practically kicked out, and my impression of the place instantly soured.

Although it's 700 meters from Susukino Station, dragging luggage through several intersections and streets was tough, especially with the snowy, slippery roads – it was easy to fall. The disposable slippers in the room were very thin and only replaced every three days during cleaning. There was no bottled water or tea bags in the room, though there was a water dispenser on the floor. On the first day, we got free coffee packets, but after that, you had to buy them at the downstairs cafe. Even though the room had air conditioning, the bathroom had no heating, and the room's heating didn't reach the bathroom. This made showering really cold, which was the most unbearable part. On the plus side, there was a washing machine with a drying function, and we got one laundry pod per day. A fridge, microwave, and induction hob were also provided.

We stayed at Nozo Hotel recently and were thoroughly impressed. The hotel is very new, and the rooms are extremely comfortable and well-designed. The onsen (hot spring) area is beautiful, surrounded by a serene environment, and the facilities are complete and modern. The staff Yuna and Deegli were all very polite and helpful, especially Yuna , Yuna went above and beyond to assist us. After we rented a car, we had trouble connecting it to Google Maps and our iPhones. Yuna worked really hard to find the solution for us and finally helped us successfully pair our iPhones with the car. Her patience and dedication were truly commendable . Because of this excellent experience, we will definitely choose Nozo Hotel again on our next trip. Highly recommended for anyone looking for comfort, great facilities, and outstanding service!

We had a great time skiing at the Furano Hotel with our kids. It was super convenient – you can buy ski passes and rent equipment right on the second floor, and then you're directly on the slopes. It was our first time experiencing Hokkaido's powder snow! The room size was average, but we could easily open two large suitcases. The buffet dinner, which requires a reservation, had a fantastic variety, including Wagyu beef and large crab claws. The onsen experience was good; the indoor bath was quite spacious, while the outdoor one was smaller and got pretty crowded. The hotel also offers a direct bus to Asahikawa, stopping at Furano Station and Biei. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming.
