4-Star Hotels in Sapporo

We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Emion Sapporo! The location is super convenient—just a 9-minute walk from Sapporo Station, with an underground passage so you don't even have to go above ground. This made it so easy to take a 45-minute train ride to Royce Cacao & Chocolate Town. There's also a nice soba restaurant next door and a 24-hour 7-Eleven accessible from inside the hotel—very handy! The breakfast buffet was outstanding, with daily specials that changed each morning. We loved the mix of Japanese and Western dishes, but the milk pudding with caramel sauce was absolutely divine—a must-try! The room was a comfortable size and had everything we needed. Highly recommend this hotel as a great base to explore Sapporo. We would definitely stay again!

This hotel is located right on Tanukikoji Shopping Street, with a side entrance that opens directly onto it, making shopping and dining incredibly convenient. The room had three beds, exactly as pictured, and a three-part bathroom that was clean and tidy. Downstairs, the front desk offered complimentary toiletries and even free hand warmers.

The triple room was a bit cramped, but with some clever rearranging, it worked out great. The bathroom's odor extraction and dehumidifying features were surprisingly powerful, and I have no idea how they managed it since there's no visible switch or noise. Every day, I'd head to the second-floor hot spring bath; it was so relaxing and never crowded. Just remember to bring your room key to scan for entry. The hotel is conveniently located directly across from Hokkaido University, offering beautiful and pleasant views. We even found a university supermarket next to the campus cafeteria with delightful prices for souvenirs and food, where I snagged some limited-edition Sapporo Agricultural College egg tarts! The hotel's surroundings offer excellent transportation links; it's less than a ten-minute walk to the JR station's North Exit and Daimaru Department Store.

Good location as the hotel sit at the town area. However there will be no daily housekeeping provided, we need to put all rubbish and towel to be changed outside the bedroom and the staff will replenish the same to us and we can collect it when back to hote

Loved that the hotel allows guests with tattoo to use the onsen though this wasn’t made known explicitly with written signs. Hotel was located at the end of Tanukoji so it’s a distance from the main area although still walkable. Note that the bathroom doesn’t have a space to put your dry clothes and you will have to wear it outside unless you do not mind the bottom of your pants getting wet. Not very convenient for mix gender groups even though there’s a blind you can draw but still be visible from the mirror reflection. Room was located in the annex building which has alot of stairs so not that convenient for elderlies too. Overall, decent hotel but recommended only if you have no issues walking or are driving.

This hotel is incredibly close to Sapporo Station. If you exit from the North Gate, it's basically just two blocks away. The self check-in process is super convenient. While it's a bit further from the Namboku and Tozai subway lines, it's very close to the JR line. It's also right next to Hokkaido University, which is great for a quiet stroll, afternoon tea, or even a meal at the university cafeteria. If you want to hit the shopping streets, you can easily walk from Sapporo Station all the way to Odori in about 15 minutes.

I stayed here for an ARASHI concert. When I booked, there weren't many hotels left. This one had a decent location, and at the time, the price was relatively affordable, even though it was still just under 2100 yen for one night. Facilities: The hotel is 30 years old, but I found the facilities to be perfectly adequate. Plus, there's a nice vanity area outside the bathroom where you can sit and get ready. The room itself was also quite spacious. Service: The service was very good. When I booked, there were no non-smoking rooms available, but I emailed the hotel, and they said they could prepare the room for me with a smoke-free treatment. Indeed, there was no cigarette smell when I checked in.

This is a historic Japanese onsen hotel. The hot spring water quality is genuinely good, attracting many Japanese families and couples. There are also quite a few Korean families and Western tourists. However, the overall facilities are a bit old, and the flow within the onsen area is quite complex. There aren't many pools, but they are spread across multiple floors with lots of stairs. Walking around like that **in that condition** felt a bit awkward and cold. The open-air onsen on the 16th floor is shared by men and women at different times, so if all family members want to enjoy it, one day definitely isn't enough (see the last picture for the onsen schedule). The 'water world' is fun and great for kids, and soaking in the hot spring after playing there is very relaxing. The dining is just okay, nothing special, as they mainly cater to group tours. P.S. The scenery in Jozankei is worth exploring, and the nearby ski resort is worth a visit (the kind for playing in the snow). The kids had a blast.
