Hotels with Bars in Sapporo

First off, Ivy's ambiance is subtly pleasant and very comfortable. The service, I found, was just right. The way staff would nod and smile every time I entered, that subtle presence of 'we're here if you need us' felt really good. Almost all facilities have no time limits (except for the sauna which closes at midnight), so no need to rush for showers or the gym. It's perfect for night owls to quietly explore the hotel at any time! The lounge always has replenished snacks and drinks, and public spaces are always tidied up. Of course, this assumes everyone helps maintain a quiet atmosphere. The room layout was smooth, quiet, and conducive to good sleep. The air conditioning and all other facilities were noise-free. The flowing private hot spring was the best white noise for falling asleep. The room lighting was also perfectly designed! I really slept well, so checking out at 11 am was a bit difficult. It would be perfect if check-out could be at 12 pm! Even in summer, it's not boring at all. Although the Summer Lantern Festival isn't a huge event, it's still interesting! At least it's great for photos! I'd honestly love to come back in winter to experience the incredible snowy scenery! There are two young men who speak Chinese, and they are both very nice, so language communication isn't much of a worry. Friends who have stayed here also said Ivy was a pleasant surprise, a place that feels like home during their travels. However, to be honest, the dining was neither particularly good nor bad; nothing surprising there. My review might be subjective, but I genuinely love Ivy.

Staff are remarkably friendly, well-trained, and consistently ready to assist. The breakfast buffet offers a wide and impressive variety of choices. While the room lighting is somewhat dim for reading or applying makeup—likely a deliberate design choice—the room features a pleasant view overlooking the brewery. Additionally, the mattress and pillows provide an exceptionally comfortable and relaxing stay.

I was 2 days early coming into Sapporo. Decided to try this hotel for 2 nights as it popped up in trip.com as special offer for me. Decided to try it as it came with breakfast and access to executive lounge. The stay was good, however the public bath was too small for a hotel so big. When i went down at around 10pm, i was queuing to rinse myself in order to get into the bath, then queue again to bathe after the cramped soak ! Note that the tv stayed the status of the bath as ”a little crowded ”. That's the one and only time i went to the bath in my 2 nights stay

The room was quite spacious, but the bathroom counter was too low. At 185cm, I had to bend over significantly just to wash my face. You can tell it's an older, established hotel, and the facilities are still quite convenient. The front desk wasn't particularly warm, and the service was just average. Also, they didn't provide any extra bottled water, which I found really unacceptable.

I just returned to Shanghai yesterday, and today I'm actively recommending this hotel! It's a fantastic hotel with excellent facilities, warm service, and delicious breakfast. There are two breakfast options: a set menu on the 22nd floor with a great view, and a buffet on the first floor. I stayed for two days and tried both – they were both excellent. The location is great, less than a 10-minute walk from the JR station. The room space is good and well-designed; it could easily fit three large suitcases. There's even a luggage scale in the lobby. Considering the price, this is the most balanced and comprehensive hotel I've stayed at in Japan, bar none.

This onsen hotel is definitely worth the price. The environment and hygiene are excellent, and the room layout is fantastic. The yukata was the most comfortable I wore during my Hokkaido trip. The service was absolutely superb, especially the proprietress at the Kaiseki restaurant, Shoan. She was incredibly elegant and generous, giving us an authentic and meticulous Japanese service experience. The private onsen with a fee had average views. The outdoor public onsen was closed on the day of my stay due to cold weather. The indoor onsen, for a hotel of this price point, was quite ordinary. Therefore, I wasn't entirely satisfied with the onsen experience. All in all, while it might not be exceptionally surprising, this is a hotel that's well worth its price.

I stayed at this hotel in June. It's easily accessible from Sapporo Station, whether you take the ground-level route or the underground pass. The room was quite spacious, with two large windows that let in plenty of light. For drinking water, you can either use the glass carafe provided by the hotel to get water from the dispenser near the elevator, or simply buy water from the convenience store downstairs, which is also very convenient. The hotel offers complimentary breakfast, and you have the flexibility to choose between Japanese or Western buffet style. You can even switch between them daily – no need to commit to one. Just show your room number at the restaurant entrance. I personally found the Japanese breakfast tastier than the Western one. The Western restaurant was incredibly noisy, like a bustling market, whereas the Japanese restaurant, located on the first basement floor, was much quieter and less crowded. There's a direct airport shuttle bus right outside the hotel. As it's the first stop, the bus arrives early. You can board about ten minutes before the scheduled departure time. The driver helps with luggage, and you can pick any seat. Upon arrival at the airport, you pay 1500 JPY in cash. I've noticed the ticket price seems to be increasing, so it's best to check the current price listed on the timetable. There are also fare reminders inside the bus. During the summer, there aren't many people, and the bus runs on time. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel. I noticed that most of the negative reviews were from guests who stayed in winter, complaining about outdated facilities and high prices (over 1000 JPY per night). In summer, it's only around 400 JPY per night including breakfast, which is why I'm giving a good review. The only minor inconvenience was that you have to decide how many disposable toiletries you need at check-in, as they are provided by the front desk and not available for self-service.

Booked two rooms for our last night in Sapporo before catching a flight the next day. For a few extra hundred yuan, we were upgraded to larger rooms at the front desk, which was great value for money, and the hotel felt very new. However, the bathroom in one of the rooms seemed like it hadn't been cleaned – the hairdryer cord wasn't tidied, the toilet paper wasn't folded into a triangle, and the stainless steel showerhead and mirror were full of water stains. Apart from the cleaning issue, we were quite satisfied with the room facilities.

We visited as a family of four (two adults and two children) for two nights and truly appreciated several aspects of our time here: Spacious & Spotless Room: The accommodations were exceptionally clean and spacious, offering lovely surrounding views. Comfortable Bedding: Both the bed and pillows were remarkably comfortable, making for a restful sleep. Thoughtful Amenities: Having all necessary toiletries fully prepared and ready upon arrival was greatly appreciated. Few areas of concern to your attention so they may be addressed for future guests: Breakfast Queue: The waiting times and long queues for the morning breakfast buffet were quite significant. Onsen Water Supply Interruption: On our second night, the water supply in the onsen area was suddenly suspended while guests were actively showering. This was particularly inconvenient for those left with shampoo and soap to rinse, and unfortunately, it prevented us from enjoying the onsen on our final morning. Ice Cream Machine Malfunction: The ice cream machine served liquid instead of proper soft-serve during our visit. We do, however, appreciate how promptly the team responded and fixed the issue once informed.

Bed is rock hard. After 4 nights, I have serious back ache, plus I'm lacking in sleep, due to how hard and uncomfortable the bed was. The pool facility wasn't fully open (it only does so in August). The last week in July at least opens the some of the outside area for use, but it doesn't fully open until August. They'd also made the 25m outside pool a wipeout/ninja obstacle course so, if you want to actually swim [do some lengths etc] then the only place you can do this was initially only open in August and even then it is now taken over by an obstacle. The indoor sections are open all year round. You have to pay extra to access the slides - not too crazy at 500 or 600yen depending on the day for unlimited access (you're given a wristband). Breakfast was ok. Wide variety of foods - some of which I wouldn't normally associate with breakfast, but still nice to have choices. Signage claims it gets busy after 8am. This is definitely not true - it's busy when it first opens at 7am and then slowly gets quieter over the 7~10 opening times (last entry at 9:30). Can't speak about weekends tho. Shuttle bus is busiest at the 5pm time slot. Overall, a ”resort” that claims to be 4 stars it most certainly isn't. 2 stars yes. 2.5 maybe. But the whole place just feels quite dated and far from the luxury expected from a ”4 star hotel”. Apart from the bed as I've already mentioned, the room was a good enough size but all the decor and controls were old. The Aircon control was worn and glitchy (button presses would turn it off etc) but at least it worked and made the room the temp we wanted. The lighting panel has had so many changes there are stickers on it to blank out buttons which no longer function - fair enough, but maybe spend a bit of money on a decent upgrade??? This hotel isn't cheap!
