APA Hotel is less than 200m south of subway Toho Line Hosui-Susukino Station Exit 6, as such this facilitates movement and ease access to various tourist spots in Sapporo City by subways, streetcars and JR rail.
The hotel is on the south eastern edge of the Susukino area which abounds with night-life; bars, restaurants, shopping outlets, convenience stores,and people watching spots.
We stayed 3 nights at the hotel. Despite the mess of used clothing, socks, travel brochures, etc, housing keeping did an excellent job to tidy up the room before we came back in the evening.
We did not eat a single meal at the hotel as there are so many eateries, and Nijo Market is a walk away.
The hotel counter staff speak limited English. To avoid misunderstanding on important matters we always follow up the over-counter conversations with written notes, so that more English-fluent staff would know our requests.
