Hotel Mystays di Sapporo

2 small double beds were fine for 2 adults and 2 kids. Great breakfast buffet including wine and ice cream, salmon roe, cod roe and rice porridge for kids! Late checkout incurs a fee of 2000 yen an hour. Right outside exit 9 of JR with complete step-free access from the JR trains. No facilities but at least the lifts are fast. Close to daimaru where there is a Pokémon Heaps of mainland chinese tourists but I would definitely stay again.

within very convenient walking distance to Sapporo station, has an izakaya restaurant on the first floor (though not part of the hotel), plenty of dining options in immediate surroundings, we opted for the deluxe twin and it was very roomy, loved it

My wife and I checked in the hotel from 10-14 July 2024. Upon check-in, we were attended by a female counter staff. After checking both my wife and my passport, she mentioned that the room was booked for 4 nights for only 1 person and that I’ll have to pay ¥1,500 additional for each night that my wife stays with me. That added up to ¥6,000 which I felt was totally unnecessary because there was no additional costs incurred regardless my wife is staying with me in the room or not. I tried to speak rationally to the staff attending to me but due to some Japanese rules, she frowned and insisted that I’ve to pay for the ¥6,000 which I have no choice but to pay up. After paying the ¥6,000 we went up to room 705 and realized that the carpet in the room was so old and dirty with stains all over, especially along the main passageway. The bathtub is the only location we can take our shower in and it creaks whenever we step inside, sounding like it’s gonna break apart anytime. The water temperature was also irregular. Though this hotel is conveniently located just minutes walk away from Takajima-Koen Station, we doubt we’ll ever stay back at the hotel ever again. A negative impression has been created since the moment we checked into the hotel and nothing has changed throughout our stay there.

Superior room was booked. It was disappointed that view is worse than that of standard room my friends chose. And the design of bathtub has problem with water leaking to floor.

MYSTAYS is a chain of express hotels in Japan, similar to the domestic Hanting Hotel. This time we booked the Susukino branch, which is about 2.6 kilometers away from Sapporo Station on foot, and is quite close to Tanukikoji Shopping Street and Susukino Business District. It seems that there is another MYSTAYS nearby, but it is farther away from Sapporo Station (beyond the 3-kilometer range of Sapporo Station. If you sign up for a local one-day tour and hope to be picked up by a car, there is no hope.) Inheriting the small but exquisite characteristics of Japanese hotels, the guest rooms are not large and compact. I have to sigh at the various humanized designs of the Japanese in the interior layout. All the necessary facilities are available, including refrigerators, safes, hair dryers, kettles, and even air purifiers. There is also free WiFi with a good signal. Plug converters are provided, which is very considerate. The hotel provides disposable toiletries and towels and bath towels, which are replaced every day. Slippers are provided but not disposable. The TV can watch some local channels. Smart toilet lid and bathtub. The restaurant is on the first floor of the hotel. Breakfast can be purchased separately for 1540 yen per person. It is self-service and needs to be purchased at the hotel front desk before 24:00 the day before the meal. Domestic payment software is supported. There are not many varieties of breakfast. I personally don’t think it is worth it, but since you are here, you can try it. You can also choose to eat in the hotel for convenience. It is not easy to find a breakfast shop when you go out in the morning. I can only think of convenience stores, or fast food restaurants like Sukiya that are open 24 hours a day. You can also go to Sapporo Station to eat mister Donuts haha. The hotel service is very good, and communication in English is still very smooth. The whole stay experience is not bad, and the cost performance is very high.

I stayed in a twin room, and the room was clean and tidy. There was a slight sewage smell, but it was bearable. The location was also about 15 to 20 minutes walk to Susukino, so it was totally tolerable. However, I would not recommend it to people who don't like walking or don't want to spend money on transportation.
