First Cabin Niseko . Pon no Yu

Incredible value and convenience

Reviewed By Travelfoodwrtiter

A brand new hotel in proximity of Niseko ski area. I will give you an overview of my 10 days at First Cabin: first wake up and head to the massive and nutritious breakfast buffet after passing front desk staff that welcome you very morning. Then get in the regular free shuttle to the skis area Grand Hirafu/ Niseko United. Ski all day in the best snow in the world then return to hotel, have a beer from Lawsons in the common are and some incredibly fresh sushi from Max Value while talking with travelers from all over the world. Then take the sore legs into the volcanic hot springs ( Japanese Onsen) and relax before bed or go out to various pubs and restaurants near the hotel in the charming town of Kutchan. You may also get in a hotel shuttle to go night skiing of our in Hirafu for the evening. Stayed in the cabin for $100 Canadian per night, excellent value! The bus drivers were super friendly and front desk became like a welcoming family. I will return.

Spa Safro

Well worth the visit

Reviewed By Phie T

Easy to find location, less than 10 mins walking duration from susukino station. (for easier nagivation, utilization ur google map app) Reserved my 1 night stay via booking.com. The price includes onsen usage, message and other spa services to be paid as accord. Provides good quality toiletries in bathing and grooming area; you do not need to bring any of yours. Just be prepared to spend 2 hours to enjoy the different stations. Enjoyed the steam room with sea salt provided for self skin exfoliation. Nice experience though most instructions and menus are in Japanese. As long as you ask the helpful service staff or watch politely how the others are doing and follow suit, you'll get to experience the Japanese bath

Nikoh Refre

Quirky capsule hotel

Reviewed By greekdan

Nikoh Refre is a men-only capsule hotel, very close to Susukino metro station, so a great location. Sapporo station is two metro stops away, and Odori Park a 10 minute walk. A Lawson, Family Mart, 7-Eleven and Don Quijote are all within a 3 minute walk. Generally there is a lot to see and do around the hotel, and a variety of transport is very easy to come by. The hotel is set over 7 floors, Reception being on the 4th. The facilities are clean and modern and the staff, even though their English is limited, are warm and friendly and will try their best to communicate with you. The capsules are spacious and comfortable. Everything you need is provided by the hotel at no charge - towels, hair combs, toothbrushes, toothpaste, facial wash, shower gel and shampoo, hairdryers, hair products - very nice! The toilets were clean, and there are separate enclosed smoking rooms for the nicotine-lovers amongst us. While the hotel is generally very good, there are some slightly unusual aspects I felt I should point out. First, you cannot pay for more than one night's stay at a time, which made my 4 night stay a little cumbersome. When you arrive and check in, you are given a receipt showing you have paid and the time - you can then remain a guest and use the facilities for 24 hours from the printed time (which was actually convenient as it meant on my final day I didn't need to check out until 5pm). You have to show this receipt to Reception every time you leave and come back to the building, and re-check in every day when the time has "run out." On top of this, entering/leaving the hotel is a drawn-out process. First, you enter and take the lift to Reception on the 4th floor and put your shoes in a locker. You queue, and hand the locker key to Reception, and they exchange this for your main locker key (which incidentally is about 15cm wide - far too thin to hold much besides a couple of garments and a very thin bag). You then take the lift to the floor of your capsule/locker. The locker rooms and the capsules are on opposite sides of the floor, so not exactly convenient. And when you want to leave, you have to repeat this process but reversed... longwinded, especially when you are having to wrap up and then de-wrap up everytime because of the extreme cold Winter temperature in Sapporo. You aren't allowed to bring in outside food and drink as there is a restaurant on site, and there are signs saying you are not allowed to stay if you have tattoos - which isn't mentioned prominently on any of the hotel's booking websites. This is because there are no Western-style shower rooms, just a large open-plan Japanese bathroom where you shower seated facing a wall (on the same floor as Reception, which you have to walk past every time you use it, and it's also open to non-staying members of the public). The room is very nice and has hot tubs and massage as a paid extra, but for those not used to Japanese culture it could be a bit confronting, plus my tattoos are on my wrist, tummy, and inner bicep so easy to hide, allowing me to slide under the radar - if you have larger ones you could find yourself in a slightly awkward situation. As well as this, the capsules have Japanese-style pillows - half the size of Western pillows and filled with beans, not down or feathers. You also have to vacate the capsule rooms between 11am and 3pm so they can all be cleaned and have their linen changed - far too long a gap in my opinion. Finally, on checking out the hotel wouldn't hold my luggage for me - a slight inconvenience. The hotel atmosphere is non-existent, so only stay here out of needing a place to rest and recuperate after sightseeing. The guests, being mainly middle-aged Japanese men, are often quiet and "distant," meaning there is no social vibe whatsoever. All in all I enjoyed my stay here and wouldn't dissuade others from staying, however I only booked it as it was the only affordable hotel left for the Snow Festival, and it wouldn't be my first choice if I returned. A pleasant, if rather quirky, stay.

Spa Hotel Sole Susukino

You get what you pay for

Reviewed By exactlee123

Firstly, no shoes. When you go, you have to take your shoes off, which makes it annoying if you forgot to bring something. Lockers are seperated from your bed, and they are narrow and tall. My luggage was scratched hard from the lockers because I forced it in. Don't recommend doing that. When I first checked in and looked for my bed, I was surprised to see how dark the room was, it was kind of scary and offputting. Definitely not like the photos on their website. Felt like something from a horror movie. At least they let me change beds to be one closer to the door because I wouldn't sleep comfortably at the end of the corridor (my original bed) The onsens were gross. Place smelt like toothpaste and the water has a lot of dirty stuff (like skin flakes) in them for both nights I was there. I couldn't relax thinking how dirty I would be after coming out. Although there is a sheltered outdoor onsen (walled in btw, can't see outside from the bath) and there is a weird underwater massager that pushes pulses through your body. And the sauna was nice. You wont get the best of both worlds if you wanna be cheap and have a great onsen experience.

Capsule Hotel Hakodate

This is new capsule type hotel. The open day is 14 August 2017. New and comfortable! We have Free WIFI available to use whole building. There is outlet for every single room. 2nd floor is for male and 3rd floor is for female. Our hotel is just 2stop away from JR Hakodate station by a tram(10mins) and located just in front of Shinkawa cho tram station, so it's easy to come and visit many places in Hakodate. In front of us, there is Morning market which called "Ziyu ichiba" you can find fresh seafood .

Fantastic budget option

Reviewed By cs_idnam

I chose this capule hotel because it was the most affordable accommodation in the city. It was something I always wanted to experience and seemed cheaper than other capsule hotels in the other big cities in Japan. I had a tram day pass so I found the tram stop right at the front hotel to be very convenient. Check in was friendly and helpful. The hotel was very well stocked with toiletries and the ammentities were clean. (Partly because guests have to leave their shoes at the lobby.) I didn't encounter many other hotel guests because I went during shoulder season. I found the capsule pod comfortable to sleep in however you don't get good sound proofing. You can hear your neighbours and the trams going by early in the morning. Overall, the staff were lovely, it was fine for a short stay and good for single travellers. It is accommodation worth considering not just because of the novelty.

二回目の宿泊

ニセコ近辺はとても高いので、岩内まで移動した。とにかく安いので、ただ宿泊するだけならここで十分と割り切っての宿泊。隣は洗車場。そして向かいはスーパーマーケット。しかし、近くに飲み屋はない。
