Toyoko Inn Hokkaido Sapporo Station Nishi Hokudai Mae

Free UCC coffee as well, and the free breakfast was a lifesaver. The hotel is very close to Sapporo station North exit. You can also use exit #12 to get down to the tunnel path, which goes all the way to Sapporo station.

The room was clean and beautiful, with lots of basic necessities, and the hotel staff gave good service. It's a great location, within walking distance of Sapporo station and close to Hokkaido University. The Japanese breakfast was great. Love from Malaysia 🇲🇾

While I was doing laundry, one of the front staff told me I couldn't wear nightwear and slippers in the lobby. But other customers dressed the same way were standing near me and weren't reprimanded. I stayed several days and often saw other guests in nightwear and slippers in the lobby without any issue. It made me feel singled out and unwelcome. I've stayed at many inns and hotels, and staff have never told me this when there wasn't a clear sign stating the rule.

I picked this affordable hotel for its price and location. A single room was less than 6000 Yen (approx. 40€) per night with breakfast included. The room was clean, well equipped, and the free WiFi worked well. It's a 5 minute walk to the northern entrance of Sapporo Station, and the city centre attractions are all within walking distance. Breakfast is a small buffet with salads, meat, omelette, Miso soup, curry and bread. The selection varies a little from day to day, and there's coffee and tea.
