Jr West Group Via Inn Prime Sapporo Odori

Everything is within walking distance, from transit and areas like Susukino to the snow festival at Oodori park and the touristy ramen alley. The hotel sits in a lovely shoutengai, with food options and convenience stores close by. The rooms are spacious, modern, and well maintained.

So many places are an easy walk away: restaurants, bars, cafes, convenience shops like 7/11, Family Mart, and Lawson, plus indoor and underground malls and the train station. The hotel is right in the middle of the city. I recommend it for a visit to Sapporo!

I stayed for a week and saw how often the staff cleaned and how well they maintained the facilities. I appreciate the hotel's attention to hygiene, and the staff hospitality and cleanliness impressed me. I’m Japanese, but writing in English so visitors from overseas can read this. Because the hotel is so good, I think clearer guidance for international guests would make it even better. Many foreign visitors may not know traditional Japanese manners, and signs could help them have a better experience while letting Japanese guests use the facilities comfortably. At the public bath, it would help to show where slippers should be removed. I saw people wear slippers from dirty hallways into the dressing area, which felt unhygienic beside an otherwise clean bath. Guests should also be asked to tie up long hair before bathing, so hair doesn’t float in the water, and reminded to take their towels back to their rooms. Several used towels had been left on the floor. There should also be a reminder not to leave rubbish in the entrance-area restroom. I saw large items left there, including three empty shoe boxes and some food and drink, and the bin was overflowing. The space looked unhygienic. I felt there weren’t enough signs asking guests to follow proper etiquette. If the hotel addresses this and encourages international visitors to respect Japanese culture, it’ll be even more amazing. I’ll definitely stay again. Thank you for a wonderful week.

Via Inn Prime Sapporo Odori＜Suzuran Hot Spring＞ After a trip, I could get a good rest here, and I’d choose this hotel again next time I visit Hokkaido. The location is very good, close to Tanukikoji and Odori Park, with department stores, restaurants, and drug stores nearby. Subways and Streetcar are also close. I stayed in a single room with a refrigerator, kettle, humidifier, TV, sockets, and USB jacks. The toilet has a bathtub and a flush toilet. Pajamas and pajamas were provided. The hot springs are on 14F. You need to bring bath towels from the room, and the hotel gives you a bag for bath towels and hand towels.
