Hotel Sho Sapporo

Only near the subway station

It's the worst hotel to stay in Japan. It's a shame to call it a hotel. It's a Motel. One of the worst hotels where I have stayed in my life. This hotel don't have any room cleaning service if you are staying for more than one day. They charge 2000 for room cleaning. There rooms are smoking rooms and you can select which one so they randomly select. The pictures of the room and real room is totally different. The hotel have renovation going on and in morning the people are bring stuff so noisy. I would never ever recommend this place for anyone. It should not be listed here even. The stuff is extremely bad ?

Location was perfect for my purposes but the appearance of the hotel and the lobby is third world. Reminds me of some of the backpacker places you find in mainland China, NOT Japan.

General appearance and age of the hotel for the price ; Total mismatch

It's very close to the station, where you can take a train to Sapporo station. Everything is automatic, so you don't have to meet the reception.

The air conditioner in my room didn't work well so it was really hot in the room. There's no spare room to change. At least they brought an electric fan, so it was bearable somehow.

Close to station. Very accessible

Wifi doesnt work, flooring is carpeted but i feel like no one cleans or vacuums the floor. We were sneezing the whole time.

It was in the city centre. Near the hotel where the meeting point was for most tours.

Not spotlessly clean. There were places that needed cleaning but it was manageable. Bed is not very comfortable but when you have been walking the whole day then you’d still fall asleep.

A nice, pleasant stay in a room with a large bed. It had a bathtub and a minifridge. My room was on the top floor which had a wooden corridor, which was pretty cool.

The room was not space-efficient. There was a desk but it wasn't really usable as a work-space (or just simply sitting and using a laptop) because there wasn't a space for a chair there due to the bed, and even if there had been space, you couldn't use the space under the desk because the minifridge was located there.

The bathroom was very clean and the bathtub was very nice. The hotel is at the perfect location, so close to everything in the city if you want to see the snow festival. The only little flaw was that the room smelled bad when we entered first. We opened the windows but the smell seemed to be in the walls or carpet or something. It was ignorable tho and there was no bad smell in the bed sheets and bathroom so the room seemed clean. Overall it was a very nice stay and there is a lot of good restaurants around the hotel.

Very good

No temperature control in the room, had to open the window while it's snowing outside to cool down the room because it was too hot inside.

Great location, super convenient check in and check out, friendly staff, clean, no complaints

Location

Staff ok . Building old . Should be only classified 3 stars

Hotel was very close to metro stop. Also very well located, easy walk to odori park.The room was nice, but a bit dated. Bathroom was decent sized.The hotel, and the room are very clean.They provide a hot water dispenser, which was very cool to use to make coffee and have hot water.We were there in winter and the room is well heated, but they do provide a space heater if additional heat is needed. Very helpful to warm feet up when coming back into the room

Wifi is fast, but the signal is weak in the rooms. (4th floor room)I did a speed test in the lobby and it was quite highspeed. But I had to use a wifi extender in order to get any wifi in the room, and could only get a fraction of the speed. It's usable and I was able to work remotely for a week.

The location is near Nakajimakoen Station, which is a 3-minute walk away. Exit 1 if you have luggage. It is next to Nakajima Park. Two Lawson stores are nearby, a convenience store where you can grab quick food or drinks. The Susukino area is a 10-15-minute walk, and Oodori Park is a 20-minute walk. When I googled it, it mentioned that a bus stand from or to the airport is also nearby, but I am not really sure, so we opted for the train.Self-check-in is easy and convenient. They provide a password to enter the building after 11 p.m., so it is safe.

Check-in time is a bit late, at 4 p.m., but you can drop your luggage at no charge at the counter if you come early. So, it's still okay for me.

Location great, that's about it.

CAREFUL - a "Standard Double Room" equals a Smoking Room. You have to check very carefully when you book. We arrived and were told that we had booked a smoking room, which obviously we hadn't intentionally. It isn't written in the booking listing page, only when you click through is it written very small that smoking is permitted. Most hotels on booking say VERY clearly in the title that it is a smoking room. When we explained this to the staff they were completely unapologetic and said it was completely our fault, and that if we wanted to "upgrade" to a non-smoking room (with separate beds) we would have to pay an extra 3000 yen. This must happen all the time and they still won't update their Booking listing (which they design, by the way, don't let them tell you it's Booking's fault). We felt like this was an intentional scam they play because I can now see it in other reviews. Other than that the room was old and had stained sheets.

LocationWarmBed was comfortable

Room was small but we barely spent any time in it

the hotel is close to the subway

they charges 1,000 yen per hour if you check in early or you check out late and they charge also for cleaning the room

It is actually clean despite the outdated interior, everything was still very clean, additional amenities are provided upon checking-in at the lobby (including a heater should you think your room is a bit cold). Checking in was smooth, the hotel is located near to the metro station (less than 5 mins walk) - would definitely recommend for those staying in Sapporo.

The location is very close to subway station and airport limousine bus stop. Many convenience stores are very close to the hotel.

Nothing particular

Very basic. The door is by pin so no need to worry about the lost of key or card

There are no amenities. Need to bring your own.

The room was very clean even though some facilities were a little bit old. Staffs were very kind and friendly.

The WiFi was quite unstable.

Clean room with comfy bed. Convenient location near Nakajima Koen subway station.

Reception not manned at times. Not clear how to operate the heating in the room, which was slightly chilly in December.
