Hotels near JR Hachiken Station, Sapporo

Nest Hotel Sapporo Ekimae has its pros and cons, and my experience was a mixed bag. Here's a breakdown: Positives: Location: The biggest advantage is the unbeatable location, right next to Sapporo Station. This offers easy access to public transport, major attractions, and restaurants. Cleanliness: My room was clean and well-maintained, with basic amenities like towels and toiletries provided. Negatives: Snowy walkway: Having to navigate a snow-covered walkway could be inconvenient, especially for travelers with luggage or mobility issues. The hotel might want to consider clearing the snow regularly for better accessibility. No bottled water: The lack of a complimentary bottle of water is a small detail, but it's an additional expense for thirsty guests, especially after a long journey. Small room for 3 adults: A standard room at Nest Hotel is quite small, and with 3 adults, it could feel cramped and uncomfortable. It's important to consider room size when booking, especially for group travel. Overall: Nest Hotel Sapporo Ekimae offers a convenient location and basic amenities at a potentially affordable price. However, the lack of bottled water, potentially small room size for 3 people, and the snowy walkway could be drawbacks for some. Consider your priorities and weigh the pros and cons before booking.

I stayed here for 10 nights in low season (May) just interrupted by going somewhere else when the price shot up on the Friday and Saturday nights and at the price I paid this was the best value I’ve enjoyed in in the few months I’ve spent in Japan (having visited all four main islands). Microwave and fridge (with ice cube tray and chilled glasses in it) in the room, bathroom gleaming, onsen includes sauna, water cooler outside onsen. Livemax does need to move all the furniture around every few months and properly dust, plus you can see scuff marks if looking for them, but I thought this place was great other than not having a real window.

Former 々 I stayed for 2 nights with a high-rated review. The staff was very friendly, the facilities were substantial, the cleanliness, the breakfast buffet and the word of mouth were wonderful. I think it's a quality that's not surprising even if it's double the price. If I dared to be worried about only one point, there were group guests who seemed to be salaried men and students of sports club activities, but they talked loudly in the bathroom or sauna, and after the sauna, they didn't even hang water. I'm in the cold bath I saw several insane people, such as making noise in the hallway. I think this is not a hotel problem, but a customer problem, but on the assumption that some people are such insane, they should be warned especially to group guests at check-in. I hope you will write an easy-to-understand note in the bathroom. I will use it when I go to Sapporo again. Thank you very much.

Spent 2 nights at the Livemax Hotel in one of the smallest rooms I’ve ever rented. At probably a little over 100 sqft, it was about $1.50/sqft per night. Service was limited. On check-in, you receive a complementary bottle of water. When I went to ask for another bottle on the second day, using Google Translate, “oh, you mean a plastic bottle of water”, the desk informed me there was a vending machine on the 2nd floor. I even offered to pay her for the bottle she had in her hand. No luck. I was surprised at the TripAdvisor ratings on this hotel (4). I gave it a 2 only because it was fairly new (taxi drivers don’t know the location) and in pretty good condition. With the impending 2020 summer olympics, the hotel chain will need to up their game, particularly with English language skills for the tourists they’re expecting.

I spent my first time here in Sapporo. Even I mistakenly went to Plat Hostel Ichiba but this place is much better for walking. Plat Hostel Sky is on the road that leads straight to Airport Bus and Sapporo train station. The room has a free towel, a flashlight,a line for hanging clothes inside the bed and shared in the room ,3 hangers, one small safe storage to contain your purse, passport,or charger, two electric sockets,and 2 USB A ports. I am 185 cm tall. The bed is big and private enough for me. There is not a locker for your luggage so you need to place them somewhere properly in the room. The kitchen is next to the lobby which is good to keep your meal cool or even cooking. They will provide you free tea and coffee. The staff are so friendly and ready to help you anytime. If you don't find them at the reception you can call them by hostel phone. The shower rooms are so compact. There is a shower, a faucet, a hairdryer ,and free body soap, shampoo and conditioner. There are toilets for each gender on each floor except the 3rd floor which is for laundry. Both 2 washing machines and dryers work nicely!!! Everything is clean!!! If you keep everything clean as well.

The hotel has an excellent location, being near a shopping street and a mall. The buffet breakfast is delicious with a wide variety of choices. The train station at Susukino is conveniently accessible, just a 3-minute walk from the hotel. However, while the room size was satisfactory, the carpet was a bit old and dirty.

The room was simple but clean and quiet, the breakfast was buffet style and delicious and comfortable stay. It faces Nakajima Park across the street and is also suitable for walking around Nakajima Park in the morning. The location of the hotel is the nearest station of Horohirabashi Station on the Sapporo Municipal Subway Nanboku Line, about ５ walk from the station, and the transportation is convenient. The chain of this hotel has a long-established inn in Hokkaido such as ”Hotel Nord” and ”Hakodate International Hotel”, and it was polite to respond to the employees, probably because of the influence.

Yo, so I stayed at this hotel, and it was pretty comfy, I'd give it a 4 out of 5. But the pillows were way too small and soft, man. Like, I couldn't even get a good night's sleep. And the cleanliness was alright, but the carpet in the room and the hallways was super dusty. It was like I was walking through a sandstorm or something. The location and service were okay, but nothing special. They didn't really go above and beyond or anything.

The longest check in we had out of the 10 hotels we had stayed in on this trip to Japan. Receptionist couldn't communicate well. Breakfast was ok but staff wouldn't clean the table on a timely manner. We had to clean up it ourselves so we could sit. Location was close to attractions and convenient.

We stayed in nine hotels during our six week Winter visit to Japan; this hotel was the third most stylish but the second most uncomfortable. The corner double room has the right look with a little tea room next to a floor to ceiling window. We had a partial view of the Botanical Gardens which was pretty. The room was uncomfortable for the following reasons: 1. No storage. The room fit out is super minimal but if you have luggage there's nowhere to put it and no hanging space. 2. The designer was going for a zen low lighting experience but the room was so dark we couldn't see anything. There is one dim lamp next to the bed and another low light overhead light. It was so dark we had to borrow desk lamps to be able to see into our suitcases. Maybe the designer was trying to create a moody atmosphere but we found it dreary and depressing. 3. The thermostat has no fine controls - the room was either way too hot or very cold. We chose to turn the heat off and borrow extra blankets and wear extra layers. We chose the corner double room which despite being one of the larger rooms, felt too cramped for a four day stay. The onsen was stylish and cool. The outdoor onsen was set in cute snowscape. Having an onsen with snow around you felt very luxe. Unfortunately this hotel attracts a certain young, nouveau riche clientele who take selfies endlessly in this Instagram ready hotel. There were men taking photos of themselves in the onsen on two occasions; I felt like my privacy had been violated as I was in the same bath. It upset me they didn't respect me enough to abstain from taking video footage. Did they do that just because my partner and I were clearly not Japanese? We enjoyed the authentic breakfast, although I feel like having it once probably would have been enough. The location of the hotel was a bit of a dead zone, unless you love walking there are probably more central locations. If you can't speak Japanese the staff are just OK. I was overcharged and managed to get a refund even despite the language barrier. I would not stay at this hotel again but I did enjoy certain aspects of my stay.
