Hokkaido Prefecture Cheap Holidays

The staff were so helpful and the hotel was luxurious

it is a clean and comfortable hotel

We got off at the closest station to the Grand Park: the OtaruChikko train station: we understood the general directions however it would have been useful to have some clear notice boards long the route: we walked along the outer walkway under cover & eventually found the hotel. The check-in was at the time stated, very professional, received an upgrade & really enjoyed our room on the 11th floor. Just a couple of small negatives: the Nespresso coffee was excellent but only 2 were provided: we asked & were told it would cost $1 each for more: why not just include a couple more? From 10am to 10pm it is really easy to move around the ‘shopping centre’ where the hotel is contained in: outside those hours access to the hotel is via the street: we left at 6.30am and had to drag our luggage up to the station in the open, while it was drizzling: no covered walkway. There are outstanding food outlets metres from the hotel, a supermarket which was amazing to visit and compare in the centre, the room itself was terrific; bed comfy, facilities nice & a good shower with products. Staff were terrific. So, do we think it is worth the $$$ we spent via Expedia: Yes; we think this was good value. Would we stay again; Yes, we would have rated this very high marks, but due to the above ‘irritants’ we finally rate this a 4.5/5. As seasoned travellers, married over 65, we know the value of these honest reviews in deciding on a booking, as we use them as a reference point. Thanks ALGreynomads

WOW! We luv this hotel. Just left this morning after 5-nights in Sapporo. Highly professional Japanese staff: even got to try out some of my Japanese words which got a smile. From the time we arrived until our departure we really enjoyed our stay. Everything was near perfect, from daily cleaning/replenishing, to the use of a free shuttle bus whilst staying at the hotel was very handy to get into central Sapporo. The hotel is situated just a few train stops from the central city: so it is very convenient without being in the traditional touristy areas: quiet, very modern, easy access to Sapporo’s wonderful subway train system, Odori Park, TV Tower and other great places. As the days progressed we found ourselves walking more & more, as we got our bearings. The food in Sapporo is simply incredible! You MUST make the time to visit this small wonderful city & Hokkaido itself. We would highly recommend that you stay at this particular hotel as you will not be disappointed. We got it at a very reasonable price through Expedia, months ago: all our hotels for this holiday are with them: their service, pricing & support are A1. Anyway, back to our hotel. Would we stay again, at the price point: Most Definitely! One of our great stays in our post-covid travels. We rate this as an almost perfect score of 4.9 out of 5: a minor deduction, for the currency exchange rate provided and the non-availability of room service. Just minor stuff really. Thanks, ALGreynomads.

With a car, moving around was not an issue. Room with great view of Mount Yotei and greenery of the golf course.
