Hotel Vista Sapporo Odori

“Hotel in a perfect location”

This boutique hotel is smack right in the middle of Tanukikoji Shopping Street (Chome 5)where you'll find many restaurants & shopping nearby including a 24 hour Mega Don Quijote store.

This boutique hotel is smack right in the middle of Tanukikoji Shopping Street (Chome 5)where you'll find many restaurants & shopping nearby including a 24 hour Mega Don Quijote store. Odori subway station is a good 10 min walk away & is accessible via an underground path from Tanukikoji Shopping Street itself. Sightseeing places are all within walkable distance. Most importantly, the airport bus stop is just a minute walk away opposite Hotel Sunroute New Sapporo. Though my single room was small as expected in Japan, it was clean & compact with a separate shower room & toilet. Would like to express my appreciation to the hotel for changing the smoking room I booked to a non-smoking room.

Stayed at this hotel for two nights and it was snowing heavily. The hotel location is excellent as it’s right next to the subway station which was ideal in the weather. The rooms are clean and comfortable. We stayed in a twin room so we had enough room for each person. The bath and the toilet is separate which is a plus too. The staff is friendly and even gave us a 500 yen off coupon to a nearby onsen. You can just walk for 5 minutes and you will be in the hustle bustle of Sapporo night life. Overall a good stay.

“Convenient location & functional room!”

Hotel is located right at the Tanuki-cho shopping street = big plus! It is a big advantage as you can shop whenever the crowd is not too high. Bathroom is separated from stall, making you have better privacy. I have bit of problem with toilet's bidet though, but it is considered minor. Bed is … more

Hotel is located right at the Tanuki-cho shopping street = big plus! It is a big advantage as you can shop whenever the crowd is not too high. Bathroom is separated from stall, making you have better privacy. I have bit of problem with toilet's bidet though, but it is considered minor. Bed is fine and rooms are cleaned. We booked smoking room as my husband smoke, thinking it couldn't smell that bad for non-smoker like me, but it was quite stuffy I got some allergic symptom. Luckily, hotel provide air-freshener (mist) and as it was during Winter, we kept our windows opened to take out smell, which works well during all 4 nights of our stay. Two pillows provided for each bed. Usually, they clean our rooms pretty nicely, except the last night where one of the beds somehow made us have some allergic reaction (red rashes/itching).Washing basin is separated from bathroom, between to the stall room and writing table, which at first we found it strange. But after awhile found to be more comfy as it is more functional! Washing basin looks like it is from airplane, but larger. Strange at first, but used to it after the stays. Amenities were good - more than enough! Staffs were helpful and tried to help us solve issue as much as we can. We have children traveling with us, and really appreciate that they tried to be helpful as much as they can with our requests (especially the polite lady staff who welcomed us on our first night!) Complimentary bottled drinks were not provided. We were not sure if this is normal, though we did found on some days there were some bottles there. Not sure if it was consolation from our request to change to non-smoking room, but all rooms were fully booked or not. But anyway, we can get water from nearby convenience store. If you are driving, hotel have parking space with parking fee. You can park on side road for a little bit (at Norbesa mall side) to drop off the luggages there as the other side of the hotel is the exit into the Tanuki-cho (so convenience!). Hotel is not too far from Toyota rental and close to many attractions. On our last nights, the construction was going on nearby, thus, it wasn't so peaceful. But other nights where there is no construction, they were peaceful.

“Cleanliness, Price, Location...”

We stayed at the Watermark Hotel for three nights in October 2017. We chose this hotel based on its central location near the Susukino district of Sapporo as well as its price point. Two other highly redeeming qualities are its very new and clean bathrooms and its direct connection to the covered pedestrian shopping street called Tanukikoji Shopping Arcade. The hotel rooms overall felt very clean and new so it’s possible there may have been a remodel, which would explain why the bathrooms are also so new. I particularly like that the toilet and bath are in separate rooms and the sink is in the main part of the room. This allows room occupants to maximize their time and efficiency. I also like the Japanese style bath meaning, there is a sit down wash area next to the soaking tub. As for the Tanukikoji Shopping Arcade, other reviews have not been so kind. You will not find any luxury goods on this street. Most of the shopping consists of souvenir stores, drug stores, and some restaurants. However, this street is very convenient for regular goods such as toiletries, snacks, and clothes. It also allows complete coverage from the weather from JR Sapporo Station all the way to the hotel. The only real drawback of Tanukikoji, in particular the part that is nearest this hotel, are the large crowds from Chinese tour groups that shop at the drug stores. We noticed this at many drug stores in the area. If you just want to buy some dental floss you may be stuck in a long line. Our room was very small but very comfortable. From the photo of the floor map behind the door (see attached photos) it looks like the room we stayed in was among the larger rooms and there are other rooms that are even smaller. We had a window that afforded a partial view of the city. The room also does not have any closets. There is only a hook on the wall next to the bed with some clothes hangers. If space for clothes or luggage is important, you may want to book a larger room just to have the space. The hotel does not have an onsen unfortunately. However we still enjoyed our stay and felt the location and quality of the rooms made for a great value.
