Apa Hotel Sapporo Odori Ekimae Minami

“Nice”

A big hotel, with a lot of tourists. Staffs was a bit cool, no welcoming. I booked for a single room, it was a bit small but it's ok. Onsen was nice, many shops around the area. A bit far from city, but it is ok.

“Old but well maintained hotel, free shuttle, onsen, good location, good English”

Loved the free shuttle to Makomanai (am service) and Hosui Susukino (pm service); Also near bus stop for lines 7 & 8 to Sapporo City, and 96 to Makomanai station; Approximately 15 mins away from the other APA Hotel in Hosui Susukino area.

Loved the free shuttle to Makomanai (am service) and Hosui Susukino (pm service); Also near bus stop for lines 7 & 8 to Sapporo City, and 96 to Makomanai station; Approximately 15 mins away from the other APA Hotel in Hosui Susukino area. From Saporo by bus is about 45 mins. Near a grocery for fresh fruits and sushi trays (really cheap), Daiso store, Yamada store (tax free available); Onsen is a plus; Provided Shiseido bath products, complete toiletry accessories and bath robes; Staff very friendly and speak good English; Also near a beef grill, ramen house, sushi place and Mos Burger (right side when you get out of the hotel When queuing for bus, make sure to hold your spot. Some cut the line (shame). Wish they issue number cards so you're sure you have a seat. Bus can only accommodate 28 passengers in one go. Very convenient airport limousine bus waits every 30 mins or so. Cheaper to take this bus than taking the train or taxi; takes 80 mins to Chitose. Will stay again.

Stayed 5 nights in late September 2019 (during the Rugby World Cup) I can make no complaint about the hotel - room was small, but appropriate to the price; likewise for cleanliness and service. I would make two observations for any potential visitors: 1) The location is not ideal if you are looking to explore the city without either payinfg for taxis daily, or spending some time travelling. - The bus ride to city centre is approx 40mins - Nearest subway station is a fair walk (through a lovely park) and equates to around the same time. That being said, it is very quiet in the evenings, so disturbed sleep is not a concern. 2) As a tattooed man, I was not able to use the on-site baths (no complaint from me - I was well aware of this when I booked) but those baths are perhaps and ideal draw for those that can use them. Perhaps this hotel is an ideal one-or-two-night stop for anyone looking for a break on a longer trip. The buffets for both breakfast and dinner are exceptional, especially the dinner - I was initially surprised by the 26000 yen price, but it is absolutely worth more than that, provided you enjoy Japanese food, or are willing to try. There was a little difficulty with language at the front desk (did not have the English-speaking level that was advertised) but that did not cause me any trouble - and I say that it is only polite to learn a little Japanese if you are visiting. A solid 3/5, would possibly have been higher if I had visited for a different purpose.
