Sapporo Susukino Hotel: Unbeatable Deals & Luxury Rooms Await!
Sapporo Susukino Hotel: Unbeatable Deals & Luxury Rooms Await!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the gloriously messy world of the Sapporo Susukino Hotel. "Unbeatable Deals & Luxury Rooms Await!" they say. Well, let's see about that, shall we? This ain't your average canned hotel review, honey. This is going to be real.
First Impressions & the Accessibility Tango:
Honestly, getting around is always a worry for me. I'm not "mobility challenged" but… well, let's just say I'm more of a "power walk to the fridge, sprint back to the couch" kind of gal. This hotel? They say they're accessible. The website boasts "Facilities for disabled guests." Great, right? Well, the elevator situation was okay, not stellar. Fine, but not mind-blowing. The "accessible" rooms looked the part, but the devil is in the details, isn't it? Was the bed too low? The shower bar too flimsy? Honestly, that's something I'd need to know from someone with actual needs. I'm gonna guess, based on vibes, it's a maybe? They need to step up the accessibility game, honestly.
Okay, Let's Get Down to the Nitty Gritty: The Room – My Personal Sanctuary (or Not So Much?)
Alright, so, the room itself… Here’s where the "luxury" gets its moment. My room had a great window that opens! Seriously, I can't stand stuffy air. That alone scores them points. The air conditioning blasted like a blizzard, so that balanced out the open window perfectly. Blackout curtains? Yes, glory be! I could actually sleep past sunrise, a feat of incredible importance to my well-being.
And the bathrobes? Oh, the bathrobes! Surprisingly plush. I lived in that thing. Slippers too! Tiny, foot-sized happiness. Now, the complimentary tea was…well, it was tea. Nothing to write home about, but free is free. Free Wi-Fi? Check! And thankfully, it actually worked. Can't tell you how many hotels have Internet access – LAN listed, but then you end up battling a dial-up modem from 1998.
The in-room safe box was a nice touch, although I mostly used it to hide my emergency stash of chocolate. Daily housekeeping, you betcha. They actually made the bed! Made it well.
Now, for the imperfections… The bathroom. It was perfectly functional, but the showerhead sprayed water like a confused garden sprinkler. The toiletries were… basic. You’d think, for "luxury," they could spring for something a little less… motel-chic. And the mirror… well, it showed my face. That's all I'll say about that.
Food, Glorious Food (and the Maybe-Not-So-Glorious):
Here's the thing. I love food. I live for it. And the Sapporo Susukino Hotel offers, like, a ton of options. Let's start with breakfast (yes, I start every day with breakfast, it's essential). The breakfast [buffet] was extensive. I mean, eggs, bacon, sausage…the usual suspects. Also, Asian breakfast options! That's a win. Western breakfast to balance it out. The coffee/tea in restaurant was decent. Overall? Solid. Not life-changing, but solid. You could also get Breakfast in room, which is the ultimate sign of luxury, if you ask me.
The restaurants? Multiple! Asian cuisine in restaurant was my jam. International cuisine in restaurant was…there. I tried the salad in restaurant (because, you know, attempting to be healthy) and it was, well, a salad. The coffee shop was a welcome refuge. Oh, and the bar… a little Happy hour never hurt anyone, right? Poolside bar not so much, because the pool was indoors. Didn't use the Snack bar but the desserts in restaurant were top-tier. I also dug the Room service [24-hour], although mostly for midnight snacks.
Okay, I'm gonna double down on the breakfast buffet. It was so good. The scrambled eggs were perfectly fluffy (a minor miracle, I tell you). The bacon was crispy, the sausage was…well, sausage. It was the Japanese breakfast options that really stole the show though. Miso soup? Chef's kiss. Pickled vegetables? YUM. I even tried the natto (fermented soybeans). Don’t judge me. It was… an experience.
Ways to Relax (And the Maybe-Not-So-Relaxing):
Alright, so, let's talk spa. Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Foot bath… sounds heavenly, right? Well, not quite. The Spa was nice, but not mind-blowingly luxurious. Had a massage, that was good, but the Sauna was a tad cramped. Ah, the Swimming pool and Pool with view - an indoor pool, fine. No Body scrub or Body wrap. The Fitness center? Yeah, I walked by.
Cleanliness and Safety (Because, You Know, Nowadays):
Anti-viral cleaning products? Check. Hand sanitizer? Check. Daily disinfection in common areas? Check. They are serious about this. Rooms sanitized between stays? You betcha. Sterilizing equipment? Probably. Staff trained in safety protocol? Definitely. All the hygiene things, they had them. Honestly, I felt pretty safe.
Services and Conveniences (The Stuff That Makes Life Easier):
Air conditioning in public area? Yes! Concierge? Yep! Concierge was helpful with recommendations. Currency exchange? Sure, if you need it. Dry cleaning and laundry service? Handy! Luggage storage? Of course. Even Facilities for disabled guests! Alright, alright! They're trying, people.
Things to Do (Beyond Eating and Sleeping):
Meeting/banquet facilities, Meetings and Seminars but who wants to? Gift/souvenir shop was there too.
For the Kids (And the Young at Heart):
Didn’t see much kid-centric stuff. No Kids facilities noted.
Getting Around (Because, You Know, You Need to Leave Sometimes):
Airport transfer available! They had a Car park [on-site] which is always a bonus (unless you have to parallel park, which, let's face it, is my personal nightmare). Taxi service easily accessible.
Overall Vibe & The Verdict:
Listen, the Sapporo Susukino Hotel isn’t perfect. It wouldn't fit that description. It’s not flawless, but it's very good. It does a lot well, especially when it comes to food and a solid, comfortable room. The "luxury" aspect is a touch overstated, but the deals? They're real.
Here's the deal… would I go back? Yeah, probably. It’s a solid, convenient base for exploring Sapporo with a decent price point.

Okinawa Paradise: Unbeatable Pacific Ocean Views from Hotel Pacific View
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to embark on a Sapporo Susukino adventure. This isn't your Instagram-filtered itinerary; this is the real, slightly-hungover deal. We're staying at the Hotel & Rooms Sapporo Susukino, because… well, it looked decent and wasn't going to completely bankrupt me. Here we go, with all the glorious, chaotic details:
Day 1: Arrival, Ramen Revelations, and Karaoke Catastrophe
1:00 PM: Arrive at New Chitose Airport (CTS). Ugh, airports. The fluorescent lights, the stale air… I swear they're designed to suck the joy out of life. Found the train to Sapporo. Remembered my Suica card (victory!), but almost forgot my sanity in the frantic rush.
2:30 PM: Check into Hotel & Rooms Susukino. First impressions? Cozy. Clean enough. The room's small (expected), but the view… well, let's just say it's a vibrant tapestry of neon signs and the promise of late-night adventures.
3:00 PM: Unpacked – or, more accurately, tossed my stuff in a vaguely organized pile. The true travel art form! Now, for the sacred quest for Ramen. Hit up "Ichigaya Ramen" because a random blog review raved about it.
- Anecdote: Okay, so the ramen. Divine. Slurped that steaming broth like my life depended on it. The chashu pork melted in my mouth. Then, I, in my infinite wisdom, spilled soup down myself. Apparently, the elegant art of slurping eluded me. Mortified, but the ramen was worth it.
5:00 PM: Wandering Susukino. This place… it's wild. So many flashing lights, and music and, people! It's Tokyo's naughty cousin, but with more snow and less pretension. Ended up at a "Game Center" for a few minutes.
7:00 PM: Karaokenight! Because, why not? Found a place with a private room. The first few songs were okay. Then, after a few beers, things devolved. My attempt at Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" was legendary (in the worst possible way). My friend belted out a surprisingly good version of "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun."
- Emotional Reaction: Wow, the karaoke was a disaster, but a hilariously good disaster. The absolute freedom of butchering a song in front of a few close friends… priceless. My voice is still recovering.
10:00 PM: Stumbled out of the karaoke bar slightly disoriented. Found a late-night yakitori place. The grilled chicken skewers were a perfect end to a perfectly messy day. Passed out in my hotel room.
Day 2: Crab, Canals, and Cat Cafes (and maybe a minor existential crisis)
- 9:00 AM: Woke up. Realized I forgot to set an alarm. Oops. Coffee, stat. Hotel breakfast: Not bad, nothing life-altering.
- 10:00 AM: Sapporo Central Wholesale Market. Oh. My. GOD. Crab. Everywhere. Seriously, mountains of the stuff. I mean, you can't come to Hokkaido and not eat crab, right? I splurged. King crab legs. So. Good. I think I saw a tear of joy escape.
- Quirky Observation: Watching locals haggle over the freshest fish was fascinating. They take this food stuff seriously. It's a whole artform. Also, the sheer variety of seafood was overwhelming. Eel, octopus, little things I can't even name… it's a food lover's paradise!
- 12:00 PM: Sapporo Beer Garden & Museum. Learned about the history of Sapporo Beer (who knew?) and, naturally, sampled the product. The beer was cold, crisp, and went down easier than my bank account.
- 1:30 PM: Otaru Canal. Day trip! Ah, the romance. Pretty canals, old warehouses. It's the postcard version of Hokkaido. It was nice for a bit. The crowds? Less nice. Weirdly, I found myself staring at the boats then pondering existential questions. Like, why were these canals here in the first place? What is the meaning of a well-preserved historical district? I blamed the beer.
- 4:00 PM: Cat Café time. Because everyone needs a dose of fluffy, purring therapy. This one was… average. Cats were cute, but seemed more interested in napping than interacting. Slightly disappointed.
- 6:00 PM: Return to Sapporo. Dinner at a local Izakaya (Japanese pub). Ordered random things from the menu and hoped for the best. Got lucky. Tasted some delicious ramen.
- 9:00 PM: Sipping a drink at the hotel bar (it does exist!). Reflecting on the day. Crabs, beer, canals, cats… and a mild crisis of purpose. Travel, folks, it's a rollercoaster. Going to bed.
Day 3: Chocolate Dreams, Shopping Spree, and Farewell Sushi (and a possible run-in with a Yakuza member)
10:00 AM: Shaved a bit of time from sleep this time! Breakfast, then the Shiroi Koibito Park. Chocolate factory! Okay, I admit it, I have a soft spot for kitsch. But the cookies were amazing!
- Doubling Down: Chocolate is my weakness. I am now a connoisseur of this.
12:00 PM: Shopping in the Sapporo Station area. Bought a weird souvenir. Not going to tell you what.
2:00 PM: Lunch at a Sushi restaurant. I had to! Fresh, melt-in-your-mouth sushi. Pure bliss.
3:30 PM: Packing. Ugh. The most boring part of any trip. Trying to cram everything back into my suitcase. Always a battle.
4:00 PM: Last stroll through Susukino. One last look at the bustling street. While walking, I accidentally bumped into a man in a very expensive suit. He gave me a look that could curdle milk. He probably thought I was a tourist. Quickly apologized and hurried away. My inner detective wonders if I just accidentally bumped into a Yakuza member.
- Honest Reaction: I freaked out a little. A bit of a shiver, and then a burst of adrenaline. Was I in danger? Probably not. But the whole encounter was… intense.
6:00 PM: Last dinner: Another Sushi place, of course!
8:00 PM: Train to the airport. Goodbye, Sapporo! You were weird, wonderful, delicious, and a bit overwhelming.
10:00 PM: Fly out of the airport.
This is just an outline. I'll probably get lost, change my mind about things, and generally make a mess of everything. But that's part of the fun, isn't it? Don't be afraid to embrace the chaos. And always, always, leave room for more ramen.

Sapporo Susukino Hotel: You Want Answers? You Got 'Em (Maybe)!
Okay, so, is this Sapporo Susukino Hotel really as "unbeatable deals" good as they say? I'm on a budget, you know?
Look, honestly? It depends. "Unbeatable" is a strong word, right? I've been burned before. Like, walking out of a budget hotel in Prague with a single cockroach hitching a ride on my backpack kind of burned. Shudder. BUT! From what I've seen, the Sapporo Susukino Hotel often has some seriously competitive prices, especially if you're flexible with your dates. Think midweek deals, or shoulder season bargains. They also seem to love a good early booking special. My advice? Cruise their website (and maybe compare it to a few other sites - Travelocity, Expedia - you know the drill). If you snag a deal, you *might* be getting an "unbeatable" price. I'm talking, maybe, possibly, yes. Don't expect miracles though. You're not gonna get away with 5-star luxury for the price of a hostel dorm (wouldn't that be lovely?). But compared to other hotels in the Susukino area? Yeah, potentially worth it.
Pro Tip: Check for package deals! Sometimes you can get a better bargain if you bundle your room with breakfast or parking. (And if you drive in Sapporo, you'll *need* parking, trust me.)
Luxury Rooms? Seriously? Are we talking marble bathrooms and feather pillows, or just a slightly nicer bed than the prison-cell-esque rooms I've endured in the past?
Okay, okay, pump the brakes on the marble bathrooms. I wouldn't go expecting *true* luxury. This isn't the Ritz-Carlton. But! "Luxury" in Japan can be a different beast altogether. They are seriously good at making small spaces feel luxurious. I'm talking, a well-designed room, a comfortable mattress (this is huge!), decent amenities, and maybe a fantastic view. Don't get too excited, though. The photos will always look *slightly* better than the reality. That's just the way of the world. (And hotel photographers have some *serious* skill, you have to admire them.)
My Experience:** I got a room with a view of the city once, and it was amazing! Seriously, watching the snow fall over Sapporo at night while snuggled under a comfy duvet after a long day of skiing... pure bliss. Other times, the room was facing a back alley. See? It's all about the luck of the (hotel) draw! So, manage expectations. Don't expect Versailles. Expect comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully designed. And cross your fingers for a good view!
What's the deal with the location in Susukino? Is it loud? Is it safe? Should I be worried?
Susukino is the nightlife district. Think Sapporo's equivalent of Shibuya in Tokyo, or maybe a slightly toned-down version of Vegas. It's *alive*. Loud at night. Full of bars, restaurants, karaoke joints, and a whole host of...entertainment options. You get the picture. Is it safe? Yes, generally speaking, Japan is incredibly safe. You're MUCH more likely to trip over your own feet than to get mugged. However, be aware of your surroundings, especially late at night. Use common sense. Don't flash a ton of cash. Drink responsibly (or not, I'm not your mum). And be respectful of the local culture.
The Noise Factor: Okay, this is where it gets tricky. Some rooms will be quiet. Others will have a *constant* background hum of the city. Ask for a room facing away from the main streets, if possible, when booking. Earplugs are your friend. You'll thank me later. I am living proof of the power of a decent pair of earplugs! They're essential, honestly.
Are there any good restaurants nearby? I'm a foodie, you know. Hokkaido is famous for its amazing food!
Oh, you are in for a TREAT! Susukino is a foodie paradise. You'll be practically tripping over amazing restaurants. Ramen, seafood (Hokkaido is the place for it!), soup curry, Jingisukan (grilled lamb) – it's all there! Literally *everywhere*. A quick Google Maps search will be your best friend. Look for local recommendations. Ask the hotel staff for their favorites. They'll probably point you to hidden gems that you'd never find on your own.
Rambling Food Story: Okay, I have to tell you about this ramen place I stumbled upon... (and it's only *slightly* related to the hotel but I was *near* the hotel). It was down a little side street, the kind of place you'd usually walk right past. The queue was long, snaking down the block, but I was intrigued. So I waited. And the ramen? Oh. My. GOD. The broth was perfection. The noodles had the perfect chew. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it! That's the kind of food adventure you can have in Susukino. Don't be afraid to explore and try new things. You might just stumble upon the best meal of your life.
What kind of amenities can I expect? Free Wi-Fi? Laundry? Breakfast?
This varies, so definitely check the hotel's website. But generally, you can expect the basics: Free Wi-Fi (hopefully strong enough to actually stream that Netflix series you've been meaning to finish!). Some rooms probably have a mini-fridge. Laundry facilities are common (thank goodness!). Breakfast? Maybe. Sometimes it's included, other times it's extra. If breakfast is *not* included, DON'T DESPAIR. You're in Susukino! Go out and explore the local food scene – you'll find much more interesting options than a hotel buffet, and you will not regret it.
The Small Print: Always, always, *always* read the fine print. Check what the Wi-Fi situation is (speed, reliability). Look for parking fees (if you're driving). Note the check-in/check-out times. These little details can make or break your stay. And when in doubt, contact the hotel directly and ask. It's always better to be prepared!
How easy is it to get around from the hotel? Is it close to public transport?
One of the *best* things about the Susukino area is the excellent public transport. You'll be close to subway stations, which opens up the whole city to you. Hokkaido is HUGE, so you definitely need to use public transport. Buses are also an option. From what I recall, the hotel is reasonably well-connected. Again, double-check the location details on their website and have a look at a map. I always use Google Maps to scope out transport routes. You can check how long it takes to get to Sapporo Station of the Sapporo Snow Festival, etc. It is very helpful.
The Walkability Factor:** Also, Sapporo, at least in the city center, is pretty walkableFind Secret Hotel Deals
