Hotel Romantik di Sapporo

This is my second time staying in this hotel. Location is second to none, just grab your bags and head straight to airport from the train station just right next to it. However, one draw back is that my room is facing the train tracks and expect excruciating noises until midnight. The bathroom could have been more cleaner as I found some body hair in the bath tub just right after I get into the room.  A bonus from this hotel: a small fee allowing you to access in door onsen, and then there is a stand serving milk and popsicles until 10:30pm. Coming out hot from the onsen with cold full cream milk, divine relaxation! Tips future traveler : request a room that is away from the tracks

The facilities were quite new and onsen was good. Too bad the tv was not smart tv and so no YouTube or Netflix. Also need to communicate with the staff in Google translate constantly, which misunderstandings might have happened.

We had a wonderful stay at Chalet Ivy Jozankei . The location was perfect after a few days skiing in Niseko and spending a day at the Sapporo Ice Festival . The idyllic location takes advantage of its hillside setting overlooking a river. There is a soothing calm to the staff, architecture and decor. We were welcomed by attentive staff that provided delicious complimentary Japanese snacks and drinks in the lobby. The rooms are spacious, modern, and include an in room onsen. We did not try the Spa. We did indulge in a delicious Omakaze dinner in a private room that included kinki fish, turtle soup, Waygu beef and fantastic wines. What a refreshing treat at the end of journey to Hokkaido.

Our third time in the area but stayed here for the first time as most other hotels were more expensive. Sizeable twin room with charming view. Plenty of room amenities. Very hospitable staff. Some spoke excellent English. Buffet dinner and breakfast were luxuorious. We saw four deers eating vitually feets outside the restaurant window during dinner as well as a big raccoon. The Onsen was maintained in the most respectful manner. Free harp concert in the evening was a grateful bonus. We enjoyed thoroughly.

We stayed at Jozankei Daiichi Hotel Suizantei in early January 2023 for 1 night - our first time here. We took the Kappa Liner Bus from Sapporo station and it was a very pleasant & scenic ride. Our bus ride was at 1215 noon & it took a bit over an hour. We chose this bus line because their bus stop is directly in front of this hotel. We arrived at approx. 1330hrs. There was a lot of snow on the ground and covering much of the front entrance, the trees, parked cars and the hotel itself. The lobby looks inviting and spacious. Check-in was very efficient. Let me say now that we are from Hawaii and we don't speak Japanese, but if there was any communication problem, it was minimal as most of the citizens here can speak a small amount or understand some English. On the frontside of the lobby is a grand room with many padded chairs & tables for relaxing, reading or conversing. On the left side of the lobby, there's a short stairway going down to a very nice & large lounge area on the right; and, a smaller coffee/pastry area on the left. The pastries here are exquisite & only a limited amount is prepared because this smaller section closes very early after lunch. Now the larger lounge area on the rightside is truly worth exploring. As soon as you enter, there is a long bar/counter where an attendant is always preparing sushi or pasty/small desserts. There is room with sofas & chairs, and self-serve coffee & a variety of teas. In the late afternoon, there is a large variety of beer or sake on tap. There are also several small Tatami-like rooms for small gatherings on the side. Now the best part - everything in this room is complimentary! On the 2nd level is a relaxation lounge area with massage chairs, a restaurant and a very nice large gift shop. I think that there is another restaurant, but it may have been under renovation at this time. After checking in, we walked across the street to a small, quaint Ramen shop. There is a counter for about 6-8 & a few small tables. Looked like a husband & wife operation. The menu was limited, but the food was wonderful (especially with the snow & cold air outside). When we first arrived, there were 3 other people - by the time we left, a crowd was waiting, standing around inside this tiny place. We couldn't venture very far in the neighboring area due to hilly & snowy roadway. This Ramen shop was truly a 'rescue joint' for us hungry, cold travelers. We opted for a room with a private Onsen. Our room was on the 6th floor and at the end of the hallway. This room was beautiful - very large - even the entry area was large. The main room was super spacious, had minimal furniture, but we really loved it. There was a small restroom with toilet and sink. At the end of the hall, there was larger room with a larger sink & shower. The onsen area was fabulous - an entry area for changing with towels, a separate section for washdown before entering the onsen. The onsen was spacious & grand with many windows that could slide o

The location is further away from the touristy area of Jozankei proper and you get unobstructed mountain views, natural landscapes, and complete privacy and isolation from the daily hustle bustle and reality. The staff and service are extraordinary and the food was unique, creative, and deliciously blended all of Hokkaido’s best ingredients. I availed of the facial spa treatment in their beauty salon and my stay was made more relaxing and peaceful with the private onsen in my room. Truly unforgettable.

Our Tour Leader has touted that this is the best Hotel throughout our 7-nights stay tour here in Hokkaido! We reached at 6pm and was just in time for dinner. Surprisingly modern and beautiful inside setting compared to the Hotel building front. Quite an impressive dining area that is spacious and offers a generous spread of both Japanese & International cuisine. Everything vying for limited space in out stomach! The 3-star Jozankei Hotel Sapporo provides quick access to Jozankei Hot Spring. This hotel is located in a touristic area of Sapporo. The rooms are equipped with Wi-Fi and while amenities include nice touches include slippers, free toiletries and bath sheets. Only dislike; the TV screen is the smallest we have came across for a while.. It was tatami room and we made our own bed, surprisingly they have a few staff moving around to ask if we need help on setting the bed! More memorable is the Onsen, superb and body relaxing! Had a good session at night… rich minerals to nourish our skin. There was a bonus for us – there is a Jozankei night illumination running these 2 weeks and we got to view it, a 15-mins walk into the town central. Really a visual treat for us all. Fully enjoyed our stay here.

The greatest merit of this place is its location in Jozankei which is one of the onsen capitals in Hokkaido about an hour bus ride from Saporro. My initial online inquiry was not promptly replied to and the reply was uncourteous and inhospitable but I gave it shot anyway given the generally good reviews. This is a ryokan style hotel that caters to bus loads of tourists and families. Don’t expect luxury and personalized service. The Japanese style tatami rooms and the bathrooms feel worn out and old and need serious updates. I used the public onsen bathrooms anyway and did not use the bathroom in my room at all. There was a strange musty odor in the hallway outside my room that smelled like pee. There are mountain views outside the window but the surroundings are all concrete hotel buildings. One day is enough and my only consolation was the onsen experience. The 2nd floor public onsen was a better albeit smaller alternative to the 12th floor public onsen. There is access to the onsen of the Shikanoyu sister hotel which is much larger and has more spa options. The cafeteria food and the staff/service was mediocre at best.

Will stay again. The hotel itself was well maintained. The room was clean and everything functioned properly. Our Japanese-style room had only a toilet, so we had to use the public bath instead. The onsen was very large and well-equipped. Large sauna and outdoor bath with a great view outside. Both dinner and breakfast were buffet style with the good quality considering the price. There were no exotic dishes but most of the menus tasted good and they offered many kinds of soft drinks.

A++++ Ryokan. Our entire experience was amazing. The staff was so courteous and helpful. The level of service was top notch. Check in - they sat us down in the lobby, provided slippers, drinks, snacks, while reviewing the amenities of the hotel. Onsen - public onsen was super clean, nice hot mineral water, cold bath, great showers and top notch products - lotion, creams, soaps, towels, etc. In Room Onsen - filled fast, luxurious, room for two. Nice and private for a couple. Food - had breakfast and dinner. Amazing. Dinner was about $100 USD per person. plated exquisitely. Lounge - cocktails and whiskey (many are included in the stay). Bartender was super friendly. 10/10, will do it again.
