Frame Hotel Sapporo

From the outside it doesn’t look especially fancy, but my room was small and so comfortable. I booked a smoking room, which had air conditioning, a table, a little fridge, and a TV. Watching on demand cost 100 yen through a machine by the elevator. The bathroom even had a bathtub, which was great. On the third floor there’s a public bath, with separate hours for men and women, plus a free massage chair, coin laundry, and a comic area. The staff were nice. After I showed my residence card, one of them suddenly explained everything in fluent Japanese, so I just had to guess the general idea. It’s the best hotel I’ve stayed at in Sapporo so far, and it’s near downtown Susukino.

The price and location worked well for the snow festival, and the sento was surprisingly cozy. There are washing machines and massage chairs, plus a 7/11 next door and a Lawson about 50 meters away.

The room is small, but this is a great hotel in Sapporo. There’s plenty extra to use, including a public bath, a comic book corner, a massage chair, and lots of items you can borrow.

Clean, cozy place with helpful staff. If you skip room cleaning, they’ll give you two small bottles of water.
