HOTEL MYSTAYS Sapporo Nakajima Park

It felt warm and welcoming. The staff did everything possible to make our stay comfortable. The meals especially were wonderful - lots of local specialties and so much food! I think there were not many guests staying at the time, so we had the onsen to ourselves for the whole stay! I was concerned that I wouldn’t be allowed to use the onsen because of a tattoo, but the manager said it was not a problem. The room was wonderfully warm despite the snowy weather, and the futons were very comfortable. The location was perfect for us - a tiny little town/village nestled between national parks, a short walk from the spectacular Ioyama and a beautiful nature trail.

The hotel is in a great location facing Nakajimakoen Park, especially in spring with Sakura blossoms, and of course, excellent service. Subway Horohira Bashi Station is only in a few minutes walk which connects you to prime areas like Odori and Sapporo Station only at a few stops away. It is a low rise hotel, so, quite peaceful. The rooms come in generous size, much bigger that other hotels at this price, and very cozy with a small sofa to sit back to enjoy the park view, mountains and sunset. The lobby is also spacious. Staff are attentive, cheerful and very helpful. My eighth nights stay only has compliments, no complaints at all. I would highly recommend this hotel, especially for travelers who prefer a restful place rather than shopping hotel as the location worth traveling a few more stop from shopping areas and most importantly great value for money.

Everything was very simple and easy. Check-in was smooth and painless and they even had some front desk people who could speak English if needed. Most of the instructions and directions were given in both Japanese and English to make it easier for foreign travelers. The rooms were comfortable overall and they even gave you pajamas to wear. Overall, it was a phenomenal experience. It's a small thing, but the way they have the elevators set up made it so that when the elevators weren't in use, one of them went to the 4th floor (7 floors total) and one stayed on the first in order to make the wait as short as possible. Very smart! The location is also very pretty, being directly across the street from Nakajima Park.

I asked for microwave in the room which they did not have, but instead, we were placed on the second floor which has a service area with microwave, ice dispenser, washing machines (paid 500yen for one load, wash and dry) and vendo for drinks! So happy with this arrangement. We stayed at rooms 205 and 208, thank me later. :-).

Hotel is super close to the nearest train station (5 mins walking), room is large with good facilities. My family is very happy staying here. Our view is the opposite park, which is extremely pretty with sakura season
