Hotels With bar in Hokkaido, Japan

First off, Ivy's ambiance is subtly pleasant and very comfortable. The service, I found, was just right. The way staff would nod and smile every time I entered, that subtle presence of 'we're here if you need us' felt really good. Almost all facilities have no time limits (except for the sauna which closes at midnight), so no need to rush for showers or the gym. It's perfect for night owls to quietly explore the hotel at any time! The lounge always has replenished snacks and drinks, and public spaces are always tidied up. Of course, this assumes everyone helps maintain a quiet atmosphere. The room layout was smooth, quiet, and conducive to good sleep. The air conditioning and all other facilities were noise-free. The flowing private hot spring was the best white noise for falling asleep. The room lighting was also perfectly designed! I really slept well, so checking out at 11 am was a bit difficult. It would be perfect if check-out could be at 12 pm! Even in summer, it's not boring at all. Although the Summer Lantern Festival isn't a huge event, it's still interesting! At least it's great for photos! I'd honestly love to come back in winter to experience the incredible snowy scenery! There are two young men who speak Chinese, and they are both very nice, so language communication isn't much of a worry. Friends who have stayed here also said Ivy was a pleasant surprise, a place that feels like home during their travels. However, to be honest, the dining was neither particularly good nor bad; nothing surprising there. My review might be subjective, but I genuinely love Ivy.

The room was quite spacious, but the bathroom counter was too low. At 185cm, I had to bend over significantly just to wash my face. You can tell it's an older, established hotel, and the facilities are still quite convenient. The front desk wasn't particularly warm, and the service was just average. Also, they didn't provide any extra bottled water, which I found really unacceptable.

When we checking the motel, they offer a welcome drink. And we bought a melon and the reception had helped us to cut the whole melon. One of the little surprise that the recotionist can speak Chinese and it was a plus to us. Overall hotel design is top notch. Overall service are excellent. Amenities are adequate. I like that they have offer a smoking lounge and meeting room in this hotel. I gave this hotel the highest point.

Excellent hotel. It's located in the international zone of the airport, not the domestic one. They also offer a very interesting service where you can upgrade from the standard buffet to a Japanese lunch for a small additional fee, and it's absolutely delicious.

Exceptional Private Onsen & Hokkaido Flavors. Overall Impression: A perfect blend of convenience and cozy. Despite the bustling atmosphere and classic, dark decor, the private onsen and dining experience make this a standout choice in the area. Hightlights: The room: Spacious with beautiful wooden floors and a private outdoor onsen. Soaking in the heat while snow falls is pure magic. Features like the ”His&Her” sinks and an in-room massage chair make our stay more comfortable. All complimentary in the room adds a thoughful touch. Dining: The buffet offers and impressive variety of local dishes alongside beautifully plated mains. Even when busy, the staff sustematically managed the seating, ensuring we enjoyed the stunning winter views comfortably. The Hokkaido cheese pizza and dessert are absolute must-tries. Location and Service: Perfectly situated in the heart of the sightseeing district, with famous sweet shop right nearby. The complimentary valet parking and polight, perfessional staff made our stay seamless. Observations: Atmosphere: The common areas can feel a bit crowded due to its popularity. Design: The room interiors are a bit outdated and lean toward very dark tones, and notably, Netflix is not available on the in-room TV. Note: Windows are fixed; ventilation is managed via the onsen balcony door. Verdict: Highly recommended for foodies and onsen lovers who want to be the center of the action.

This hotel in Sapporo, newly opened last year, is located near Tanukikoji, offering a vibrant yet peaceful environment. The family room is spacious. As part of the Holiday Inn group, its quality is guaranteed.

The public areas are exceptionally well-designed, beautifully blending Park Hyatt's signature luxury with a Japanese onsen resort vibe. The overall atmosphere feels both sophisticated and relaxing. The breakfast and the selection of restaurants are much more extensive than at the neighboring Higashiyama Niseko Village, and the food itself tasted noticeably better. Service is also a major plus here. The welcome fruit wasn't just generic apples, pears, or bananas; they offered a plate of strawberries, which felt very thoughtful. Whether it was the Japanese staff, foreign staff, or the Chinese-speaking employees, everyone was consistently warm and natural. I was particularly impressed by a young woman in the restaurant department, who seemed to be from Henan, China. She was incredibly welcoming and friendly, making conversations very pleasant. Communicating with other foreign staff members in Japanese was also seamless; there was no need to force English, nor did we have to resort to translation apps like we did at Higashiyama Niseko Village. Finally, upon departure, since the hotel doesn't have a shuttle bus and we couldn't immediately find a taxi, the hotel thoughtfully arranged a complimentary business car to take us to the station, which was a huge bonus to the overall experience. The basic room type in the hotel building is a large suite with a double bathroom design, offering a high level of comfort. There are some drawbacks, however. As a hotel opened in 2020, there are already visible signs of wear and tear on some of the leather and fabric in the rooms, so the maintenance isn't perfectly pristine. The views are also significantly less impressive compared to Higashiyama Niseko Village, where you can see Mount Yotei directly from the lobby, rooms, and even the onsen. Additionally, this hotel has more rooms and also accommodates quite a few group tours, so even during the non-snow season, it's quite popular, making it less quiet overall than Higashiyama Niseko Village.

Perfect 😍 This Hakodate stay was absolutely top-notch! The hotel is brand new, with stylish and refreshing facilities. The hot spring was incredibly comfortable, as were the bedding and the pajamas – both 10/10 for comfort. Plus, the hotel's free shuttle bus to attractions was fantastic. Overall satisfaction is through the roof!

I absolutely love Hanabishi Hotel — I had the best 2-night stay here. The hotel is quiet with no large tour groups, and I really enjoyed the traditional feel and relaxing vibes. I tried all of their room types, and my favorite is the futon room with a private onsen. The futon is very comfortable, and the room itself is incredibly spacious. The staff are friendly and helpful, even assisting me with arranging taxi service. The location is convenient, only about a 10-minute drive from Hakodate Airport. I also loved both the breakfast buffet and the dinner set — they truly pampered me like I was the queen of the world. The public onsen is beautiful and huge. I will forever choose to stay here whenever I’m in the area.

The hotel is ideally located, just around 4 blocks from Tanukikoji, on the adjacent street. It's a quick 3-5 minute walk to Susukino Station, passing through Tanukikoji, Parco, and Mitsukoshi. Odori Park is also less than a 10-minute walk away. The location is unbeatable. The dining is quite good, though the breakfast menu hardly changes daily. During peak hours (7-8 AM), there's usually a queue for breakfast, so if you're staying more than two nights, you might want to consider other options. That said, Sapporo has plenty of cafes, so finding breakfast early isn't an issue, and you don't necessarily need to book with breakfast included. The hotel is very new with a simple yet practical design. I recommend booking a 23 sqm room if possible. I specifically booked a 23 sqm Deluxe King Room, but there wasn't enough space to fully open two 26-inch suitcases simultaneously. The basic 18 sqm rooms must be even smaller. If you're lucky, like I was, your room window might face the Ferris wheel, which is a nice touch. The public onsen (hot spring bath) is a definite selling point, quite spacious for a city center location. However, when I went between 8-9 PM, it was usually quite crowded, especially with Korean guests. You'd often see a father with 2-4 children, making the bathhouse noisy and packed. I'm not sure why, but during the National Day holiday, when you'd expect more Chinese guests, the majority of hotel occupants were Korean, often families of 3-5. The large number of Korean guests suggests the hotel is generally good, but hearing Korean spoken constantly at breakfast and seeing so many families with children made the hotel feel crowded and noisy. (By the way, isn't South Korea supposed to have the world's lowest birth rate? How come there are so many couples with 2-3 kids?)
