Jr Tower Hotel Nikko Sapporo

“Japanese hospitality in a central location”

Starting with the obvious, the location of the hotel, above Sapporo train station, can't be beat. There are two subway lines underneath, connected by a shopping mall that allows you to walk to the Susukino area without stepping foot outside. We stayed in a Corner Room, which is a good size.

Starting with the obvious, the location of the hotel, above Sapporo train station, can't be beat. There are two subway lines underneath, connected by a shopping mall that allows you to walk to the Susukino area without stepping foot outside. We stayed in a Corner Room, which is a good size. Our rate included breakfast, and there's a choice of western buffet or japanese breakfast. We tried both, and the buffet was a much better deal. It has many japanese items as well. There is a 7-Eleven right around the corner for added convenience. The staff speaks very limited English but they do try hard to be helpful. I'd say they are proactive and observant, as one day a huge group of tourists arrived and they quickly ushered us to a waiting elevator so we didn't have to wait behind them.

We have always try to stay at or very near the main train stations in our travels to Japan cities. As such we choose Nikko JR Tower for our stay in Sapporo. The location certainly did not disappoint us. Easy access to trains for moving around. The connected malls are as good as any in other parts of Sapporo. For us the hotel just managed to get a five star ratings. The rooms are great albeit a little bit small. The bathroom needs a bit of modernization in terms of finishing in our opinion. Four of us, two adults and our two kids age 11 and 13 managed to squeeze into a corner room meant for three. The hotel is kind enough to let us do that as long as the kids can make do with the available beds. We decided to squeeze as we were unable to get connecting rooms. Those planning to get connecting rooms need to book very early. We travelled as a party of two families and the hotel was nice enough to allocate rooms at the corners nearest to each other. They have both set and buffet breakfast. The food quality at the buffet is very good even though it is not a very large spread. The view at the restaurant is very nice and there is no need to head to the tower observation deck. The biggest plus point of the hotel is the friendly and helpful staff. From bell boys to concierge to front desk, all provide top notch services. They are also highly efficient. We left in the middle of our stay to spend a few days at a ski resort and parked some of our luggage at the hotel. When we returned our parked luggage were already in our rooms without us having to retrieve it ourselves.
