Hot Spring Hotels in Sapporo

"The hotel is easily accessible, about a 20-meter walk to the right from the North Shinchi station exit, which you can reach by walking underground from Umeda station. Alternatively, you can take the train to Yodoyabashi station and enjoy a scenic walk, passing through a small section of Nakanoshima, which takes about 8 minutes. This time, I stayed for 7 nights. I had a late-night check-in due to a delay, and I'm very grateful to the friendly front desk staff, a young man with a Northeastern Chinese accent who spoke Chinese. He was incredibly helpful, even though my registration ultimately didn't go through. My assigned room was also very satisfactory. This was my second visit, so I'm quite familiar with the surroundings and facilities. The area around Umeda is fantastic for shopping and dining, with several well-known establishments within a 10-minute walk. My only regret is still not getting to try the famous ramen shop across from the hotel. It opens at 10:00 PM, and by then, I'm usually too full to eat. The communal bath here is one of the smaller ones among the Montenapoleone hotels, with just one hot tub and 7-8 shower stalls. However, all other amenities are present. The coffee and mini-bar next to the front desk are available after 11:00 AM, and the quality is decent. One small disappointment this stay was that the room no longer provided facial cleansers and lotions, which were available during my visit last month."

"Location is great. A walking distance to Sapporo Tanukikoji Shopping Street. If you are with luggage, walking at underground shopping street, once you see Parco on your left, turn right and you will see an escalator not far away. Go up and you will see GongCha. Go straight and pass through the sliding door beside it. Turn right and keep walking until a cross junction. Hotel is the left side of next junction. Room is spacious. There is a new law with tax charge for hotels at Sapporo area this year."

"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."

"We only had 1 night to stay in this beautiful paradise 🥲🤍 It was the best stay of our 10 day trip in Japan and we would definitely be back to stay here again 🤍 Location: in the Jozankei Onsen town that’s about an hour + out of Sapporo. Honestly if you’re in a group, just book a cab out, it was about $80++ for 3 of us! Otherwise remember to book the Onsen bus shuttle early in advance 🥹 Area around Onsen is nothing much besides other Onsen houses, a small cafe and other smol tourist picture spots. Back to the Ryokan: this was my first experience being in one and I’m so glad I chose this place! Mum and sister throughly enjoyed it as well, using our in room Onsen ( there’s 2!) and also the shared common Onsen with an outdoor facing the snow too ❄️☃️♨️ Service:The staff was extremely polite and efficient, seeing the reviews of them being rude was kinda uncalled for. They were nothing but kind and attentive. It is a very quiet and peaceful place , I understand the need for all guests to be maintain the atmosphere too. Food: amazing, one of the best meals I’ve had in Japan so far ♥️ the pictures below speaks for itself 🥹 private dining room to enjoy the view too🏔️ Loved small touches too like the mikimoto soaps , Dyson hair dryers ( in the public Onsen) And the chopstick souvenirs 🥹 I can’t wait to come back here again with my partner 🤍"

"The hotel's location is excellent, right near Exit 1 of Nakajima Park. It's super convenient to get to Sapporo Station and Susukino. The hotel's onsen (hot spring bath) is incredibly comfortable; I made sure to go every day. The room was a bit small but had everything I needed. My luggage was a bit hard to open fully. The view from the 17th floor was really nice. The front desk service was great. Just a heads-up, this room doesn't provide bottled water. You can drink the tap water directly, but if you prefer bottled water, you'll need to buy your own."

"I stayed at Granbell Hotel Tanuki Sapporo for a few days as a solo traveler while waiting for my family to arrive in Sapporo, and it turned out to be a very pleasant stay. The location was perfect—close to shopping areas, restaurants, and everything I needed. I also enjoyed their public onsen, which was a great way to relax after exploring the city. Overall, it was a comfortable and convenient stay, and I would gladly consider staying here again."

"This hotel's facilities and ambiance couldn't possibly be bad, given the price point. Let's talk about the less satisfactory aspects. We weren't allowed to even wait in the hotel lobby before check-in time. I totally understand not being able to access the room before then, but not being able to enter the lobby was a bit puzzling. Although the staff did make an exception for us to use the restroom in the lobby, it was still quite awkward because my friend took a bit longer in the restroom, and a staff member came to tell us we couldn't linger there. Also, both breakfast and dinner were Kaiseki meals. While exquisitely presented, it just wasn't to our taste. However, the hotel's hot spring and surroundings are truly excellent, and the rooms are very new. The self-service drinks in the hotel lobby were delicious, especially the blueberry juice – that really left an impression."
