ANA Crowne Plaza SAPPORO by IHG

The hotel boasts an excellent location, not far from the JR station, with numerous restaurants nearby and a large shopping mall right next door, making it incredibly convenient for shopping and dining. The room facilities are comprehensive, the bedding is comfortable, and the breakfast is abundant. Plus, there's an airport bus stop right in front of the hotel, which is extremely handy.

I highly recommend the ANA Crowne Plaza. The room had a separate wet and dry area, and the bedding was very comfortable. The staff were polite and enthusiastic. It was also very convenient to get to Daimaru and Tokyu department stores. My experience was perfect.

The hotel's location is excellent. The airport bus takes you directly there, and a side exit leads straight to Tokyu. The convenience store on the first floor is also great, with a direct entrance. We booked a larger room; the toilet and bathroom were spacious, but the room layout was a bit odd, so it didn't really feel like a large room. Breakfast offers both Japanese and Western buffets. The Japanese set meal had limited choices, and the rice was plain white rice, not sushi rice. Consequently, more people opted for the Western breakfast, which, for a high-star hotel like this, was of average quality.

I stayed at this hotel in June. It's easily accessible from Sapporo Station, whether you take the ground-level route or the underground pass. The room was quite spacious, with two large windows that let in plenty of light. For drinking water, you can either use the glass carafe provided by the hotel to get water from the dispenser near the elevator, or simply buy water from the convenience store downstairs, which is also very convenient. The hotel offers complimentary breakfast, and you have the flexibility to choose between Japanese or Western buffet style. You can even switch between them daily – no need to commit to one. Just show your room number at the restaurant entrance. I personally found the Japanese breakfast tastier than the Western one. The Western restaurant was incredibly noisy, like a bustling market, whereas the Japanese restaurant, located on the first basement floor, was much quieter and less crowded. There's a direct airport shuttle bus right outside the hotel. As it's the first stop, the bus arrives early. You can board about ten minutes before the scheduled departure time. The driver helps with luggage, and you can pick any seat. Upon arrival at the airport, you pay 1500 JPY in cash. I've noticed the ticket price seems to be increasing, so it's best to check the current price listed on the timetable. There are also fare reminders inside the bus. During the summer, there aren't many people, and the bus runs on time. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel. I noticed that most of the negative reviews were from guests who stayed in winter, complaining about outdated facilities and high prices (over 1000 JPY per night). In summer, it's only around 400 JPY per night including breakfast, which is why I'm giving a good review. The only minor inconvenience was that you have to decide how many disposable toiletries you need at check-in, as they are provided by the front desk and not available for self-service.

It was pretty good. The triple room had three beds, though two would have been enough. The TV placement wasn't ideal. The location is great, very convenient for the metro and train station.

The location is quite convenient. It's about a 7-8 minute walk to the JR station, and roughly 10 minutes to Odori Park and Tanukikoji shopping street. The hotel has staff who speak Chinese, and they helped me exchange money at the machine. Even though the exchange rate wasn't great, it solved my immediate need for cash. It's a pretty convenient stopover when in Sapporo.
