Nice hotel

Nice hotel, ideal location for us. Next to the train and bus station. Breakfast was good. Staff helpful. Room was ok for an overnight stay, a little small for a long stay would have been better if it only had 1 double bed in

It was very near Sapporo station. The staffs were efficient and friendly. The breakfast had variety of dishes. But for the check out, I preferred to just return the key in a designated box or something rather than have to wait for the front desk, since I had already paid the fee beforehand and in hurry to go.

Tight bathroom

It was very nice stay. The room was clean and nice. But the bathroom was too tight. Using the same faucets for both sink and shower/tub was not too tight. Understand that it’s probably more efficient but it didn’t help to make it look more upscale.

Great breakfast compared to other Route Inn hotel. Limiting no. of luggage and time to pick it up is not traveler friend. This is a key factor making me won’t come to this hotel again

Perfect Location

The hotel is just opposite to the North Exit of JR Sapporo Station, which offers a very convenient location for my stay. There are 3 convenience stores nearby, all wiithin 1 min walk. The public bath, though small, offers a good bathing experience for travellers. One thing for improvement is, I cannot adjust the room temperature of the air-con, and it can only be switched on when it is set at 30 degrees....perhaps it is still cold in early spring time but I want cooler air at room after the bath.

1. The location is fantastic being next to sapporo station & breakfast had daily variation 2. Very comfortable with using the public bath (no need to run water in room tub) 3. The room was relatively clean but I did find 1 room slipper under the bed 4. Room was pretty dry (low humidity) and was thirsty every night, unsure if there was a humidifier (tried switching on a machine but it didnt seem to work)
