APA Hotel Sapporo Susukino Ekimae

Luggage storage service! Saving your time going around looking for coin lockers. Also, the hotel is so close to the train station. Literally there's an entrance right in front of the hotel main entrance to Hosui-Susukino Station (Exit 3). But beware, this is a small exit with mostly stairs so it's not really friendly to travelers with big luggage. From the hotel it's about a 5 minute walk to Susukino Station, the entrance in front of Cocono Susukino Mall has an elevator. It's easier to use this entrance to be honest, also the walk from Sapporo Station to Susukino Station (Namboku Line) is shorter, unlike the insanely long walk just to hop on the train to Hosui-Susukino Station (Toho Line). The hotel breakfast buffet is nice, they have a decent variety of food choices and they have really fresh sashimi as well. You can get a voucher from the receptionist, it's a little cheaper if you purchase before the actual day.

This hotel has everything you need! Free snacks on checkin, had a laundry on site and there's a Lawson’s next door. The bathroom had a separate toilet and sink with a more spacious bath area which was nice and more old Japanese bath style. It was a close walk to Susukino and Tanukikoji shopping street and it had a comfy bed. The little Japanese crane in the room is a cute addition. Our room looked out to a pretty Japanese style garden which you could also view from the reception area. APA never disappoints.

Nice rooms and soft bed. Very good location, just besides hosui susukino station. Area is not noisy and many convinience store and eating places nearby. Breakfast is a feast. So many foods to choose from every morning. Front desk Ms. Kobayashi was very helpful in monitoring the arrival date of my mail containing the ring of my brother which was accidentaly left in Hakodate. She gave me updates and personally gave it to me when it arrived. She also speaks good english

The hotel was in a great location. Being centrally located made it easy to get around to the winter events without needing to take public transportation. Everything we needed was within walking distance (3 min - 15 min). There are two convenience stores within a short distance (Lawson connected to the hotel, 7-11 across the street) as well as many restaurants around the area. They offer many services within the hotel, including breakfast; however I didn't try it. Room was spacious enough and had what we needed for a comfortable stay. The water pressure was amazing!

Location was excellent, walking distance from most restaurants and bars. The room was clean and surprisingly big, but the bathroom was small. Staff was extremely helpful and kind. Beware, this hotel has only 2 washing machines and 2 dryers, so it might be best to do your laundry early in the morning or late at night to avoid the long queues.
