7.7Verified guest“The Japanese-style room with comfortable futons was a highlight. The buffet breakfast and dinner were plentiful and met expectations. Location was convenient with a bus stop opposite, and a five-minute walk to the winter light festival. The onsen was fantastic, with well-separated public baths for men and women.”

7.7Verified guest“Tranquil hotel, polite staff, convenient location near the bus stop for the airport shuttle, good food, and a clean room.”
7.7Verified guest“Surprised by how spacious the room was. Traditional Japanese decor made it cozy. Facilities were abundant – karaoke and a relaxing onsen. The massage chairs in the onsen lounge were excellent. Staff were friendly despite language barriers. The free shuttle to Sapporo was handy.”
7.7Verified guest“This traditional hotel has both hot springs and friendly staff. Rooms range from tatami to western beds, with great canal views from higher floors. Staff will adjust meal preferences on request. Free shuttle to the NHK building and a sister hotel nearby with shopping. The 24-hour onsen is perfect after a day of sightseeing.”
7.7Verified guest“The buffet had variety but lacked quality, and shuttle times were disappointing. Location is remote and dull, nothing to do outside. The room for four was large and comfortable, allowing easy movement. The hot spring's serene atmosphere was relaxing. Staff were friendly and provided DVDs for the room.”
