Right in the heart of the Susukino area. Very close 3-5 walk to the JR station. The room is standard Japanese size. The walls can be a cleaner though. There is a public bath on the lobby floor for those who are interested.

It was a small room, but tidy and equipped with enough (or more than enough) items that makes your stay more comfortable. (e.g slippers, tooth brush, fridge, Japanese style PJ, iron board, etc.)

It's in Susukino, but remember you're in Susukino.
I chose this hotel so I would be close to the Susukino site of the Sapporo Snow Festival. Susukino is great; it's in the center of town so you're close to subway stations, restaurants, convenience stores, Round 1, Don Quijote, and the Odori site of the snow festival. However, being Sapporo's nightlife and entertainment district, on my way back to this hotel every night I was often approached by people trying to coax me into their establishments or asking me if I'm "looking for something," if you get my drift. If that doesn't bother you (and you're not traveling with kids) then this location cannot be beat. The room was fairly spacious and comfy, and the breakfast buffet rotates its items every morning so no meal is dull. In addition, they kindly replenished my towels and toiletries every day, even when I put the "Do Not Disturb" sign on my door. My only gripes would be that the Internet Center has a PC with extremely limited features and that the hotel didn't do much about the icy sidewalk in front of the building, so guests can often slip and fall on their bottoms. If the Sapporo Snow Festival is your main objective, try a hotel on or near Odori, but I would gladly stay here again outside of winter.

Great location. A solid mid-priced hotel.
The goods: 1000 yen parking right next to the hotel until 1 PM the next day. Good breakfast. The OKs: 300 yen for two pieces of luggage storage. Which is uncommon for many hotel. Room is typically small in Japan, this one is the same but sufficient. There is also Japan style hot tub on the 5th floor. Males and females have separate rooms.

the hotel with good cost-effectiveness
First of all, it was very quiet around the hotel even if this hotel is located near the main street. The room was cozy like a common business hotel in Japan. Oh, they offer a different type of pajama everyday, it was really comfortable!! :) Free breakfast is based on the japanese homemade meal, and also prepared american breakfast such as breads, bacon, and scrambled egg. The composition of the food was not bad, but it was too salty to me 😭. In conclusion, the Hotel route inn is a hotel with good cost-effectiveness. I'll stay here if I visit to Sapporo again.

The staff were super friendly and very helpful. The room and hotel was in a great location, easy to find, and with a nice, clean onsen, and good breakfast provided. Good security in the hotel and I felt very safe as a female solo traveller. Would recommend.

Great place to stay. Staff were very helpful (room key didn't work at first. They were very quick and apologetic about fixing it) and kind. Good breakfast, and great location.

I don't want to leave!
I can't say enough good things about this place. It's right near Susukino station, maybe 5 minutes walk in the snow, but I had zero street noise in the night. The snow festivals is practically on your doorstep. The room is a good size, nice and warm, and all the staff are absolutely lovely. The breakfast is delicious and has a ton of choice. One day I forgot to take down my do not disturb sign and they left a bag of clean towels etc at the door in case I need them. And yes, many of the staff speak English, not that it would impact my rating if they didn't.

Near to subway station and food
Stay on 22-26Dec. Hotel was around the corner to subway station. It's good especially when it's freezing and snowing heavily outside. Breakfast was good too! With snowman pop cake during the few days of Christmas. Room was small but cozy. However hotel staff do not speak or understand much English. Overall it's a good stay.

A good base in Sapporo
The staff were very helpful. Despite limited facility with English, the staff went out of their way to help us with our requests. The rooms were clean, although the bed and pillows were somewhat hard. The location of the hotel was convenient to the Ice festival in Susukino. The subway station was about a five-minute walk from the hotel. There are many eateries close to the hotel. Since we went during winter, Our only complaint was that the sidewalk in front of the hotel building was very slippery, and we saw people slipping and falling to the ground. We gave notice to the reception about this, but there was no response until we left.

Perfect place for clean and cozy place to rest
For the active tourist, this place is awesome. Of course it is smaller than western standard rooms, but for those looking to actually experience Japan and just need a place to clean up and sleep, look no further. Clean, relaxing free spa, and unreal breakfast buffet... Perfect! Out all day shopping and skiing, dinner and nightlife until wee hours of the morning steps away; then a clean place to recharge for a few hours.

close to restaurants, ramen alley, and shops. It is slightly difficult to locate the hotel on initial arrival if you arrive by airport bus, but thereafter, it was not really an issue.

2度目の宿泊でした。すすきの繁華街から近く、1Fにコンビニもあり、とても便利です。 朝食は、充実のメニューで、広い空間で、清潔感あります。TVは、BSも見れます。空気清浄機も装備されてました。2月のコロナ事情の厳しい時は、食堂に入る前に、消毒や手袋装着でのバイキング!となっており、感染対策を、きちんとされてるのが、好印象で、8月に宿泊しました。温泉もあり、家族連れで安心して泊まれます。いいホテルです。
