Hokkaidō, Giappone: hotel romantici

This hotel is very close to the train station, which is just across the street. If there’s no snow, it’s very easy to get there, literally just crossing one traffic light. However, in snowy conditions, even crossing the traffic light becomes cumbersome. If I had a choice again, I would pick the JR Hotel right at the station so I wouldn’t have to drag my bags in the snow. On the positive side, our room had a great view of the station. It had all the basic amenities and was clean. There’s also a coin laundry room with three washers and dryers, which was convenient for us. Since we had a night out in the Onsen area and needed to check out and return the next day, we were able to store our luggage at the hotel and check in the following day. Considering these factors and the reasonable price, this hotel is an okay choice. The staff are all very friendly, but note that they are strict about check-in times- no earlier than 3 PM… with no flexibility. However, it is not the most comfortable place to stay due to poor sound insulation. You can hear everything, even in corner rooms. The side rooms are still noisy enough to disturb your sleep—I personally had to complain 2–3 times about the neighbors making noise at 11 PM. I’m not sure how they assign rooms, but it seems that foreigners might be placed together, and some guests can be extremely noisy. To be fair, I’m a foreigner too, but I usually sleep early when I travel, so the noise really disrupted our rest. Overall, you may want to weigh the pros and cons before deciding whether to stay here.

We had a good overall stay at Daiichi Takimotokan, a large traditional ryokan-style hotel. While the property is a little dated, it is well maintained and kept clean. The hotel itself offers plenty to do, including restaurants, a souvenir shop, simple arcade games, karaoke, massage services, a public onsen, and even a small reading area with Japanese books. You can easily spend time exploring the building without needing to go out. The location is very convenient. It is just outside the main (short) shopping street and within walking distance to Jigokudani, making it easy to explore the area. Our stay included breakfast and dinner buffet. Dinner had a wide variety of options, including popular sashimi selections and steamed snow crabs, along with both Japanese and Western dishes. Breakfast was a simpler spread but still satisfying. We stayed in a Japanese-style room and found the futons comfortable to sleep on. As we visited during winter, the room had central heating only. At times, we cooled the room by slightly opening the window to let in some cold air. Yukata robes are provided in the room (or you can choose one that fits you at the lobby), and you can wear them around the hotel when heading to the onsen, restaurants, or arcade. The public onsen area is spacious and features many different pools with various functions, so you can take your time and enjoy the experience. Just remember to wash yourself thoroughly at the shower stations before entering the onsen pools. Unfortunately, we did not try the outdoor onsen despite it being open — we were a little intimidated by the winter cold! Overall, we would recommend this hotel, especially for first-timers who want to experience staying in a traditional ryokan. Tip: There are direct buses to and from the hotel from New Chitose Airport and Sapporo. The bus stop is only about 50 metres from the hotel entrance, which made walking in the snow much easier for us. However, the service runs only once a day, so be sure to check the schedule and plan your itinerary accordingly.

Amazing hotel. Close to the TV tower and the park. The train station is also not far away. It's convenient for when you have to walk with your luggage in the snow. Relaxing hot bath. Lavish breakfast with a lot of options. Outstanding service. The only complaint is that the laundry service was closed for the holidays and there is no self service laundry in the hotel. The closest one was 20 minutes away.

Rimasi qui per 3 notti e ha avuto una vera e propria esperienza positiva. La posizione è super comoda, circa 5-minute passeggiata alla stazione ferroviaria e MTR, che ha fatto passare senza sforzo. Ci sono molti negozi di comodità vicino. L'hotel dispone di una bella viva tranquilla, che è stata perfetta dopo giorni di sfruttamento. La stanza stessa era una stanza, sorprendentemente grande e spaziosa da standard giapponesi. Era pulito e tempestivo, e c'era ancora molto spazio per pavimenti anche dopo l'apertura di due grandi valigie (qualcosa che è quasi impossibile nella maggior parte degli altri hotel compatti in Giappone). L’unica parte inferiore era il letto. Il duvet (?) era troppo spesso e pesante per il mio piacere. Esso fece sentire il letto molto caldo la notte, e mi sono svegliato molto nonostante l’AC. Altrimenti, questo posto era quasi perfetto. Lo consiglierei certamente agli altri, soprattutto se si sta bene con la corsa del CA inferiore. Solid choice!

Modern classic hotel with high class interior design. Service was good. Attentive staff who tried to communicate using the translator device. Shower cap is not provided, otherwise the amenities provided are essential & necessary for a comfortable stay. Pyjamas are provided too. It was stuffy in the middle of night, so we informed front desk. Not long after, the service staff came up with a portable fan & opened our window a little. Buffet breakfast was a delicious spread. Location - conveniently located between Odori & Sapporo stations.

- A very beautiful hotel and room. From check in to check out, everything was top notch, and I would give it a solid 5 out of 5. - The staffs were very helpful during the check in process, making it fast and simple. The room was fabulous and truly worth the money. Very clean, pleasantly scented, and looking new and well maintained. - Breakfast was simple yet very filling, with many items provided. It was the same on the second day, but that was not an issue. The chef and staff prepared the meal fresh and served it to our table, and enjoying breakfast with such a beautiful view made the experience even more special. - The check-out process was also quick and hassle free. After check out, they even took care of my luggage safely while I went on a short trip to Asahi and returned later to collect it. The hotel is not too far from Otaru Station. Just a straight walk down the road.

La posizione è comoda, a 5 minuti a piedi dalla stazione JR opposta e dall'Aeon Mall. La colazione a buffet è all'altezza degli standard. Non c'è un parcheggio proprio, l'hotel ha ordinato di andare all'Aeon Mall, 1000 Yen al giorno, ma ho parcheggiato nel parcheggio accanto per 800 Yen al giorno.
