Smile Hotel Sapporo Susukino Minami

I've stayed in hotels in Japan before, and this one is by far the BEST. Room was large considering the price, didn't expect such a large room. The shower in room was amazing, easy to control with such powerful out put. Never had a shower like it!!!. Cleanest was top draw, no complaints what's forever. I opted for for Breakfast included, which was buffet Japanese/Western style served from 0630 -0930hrs. Last admittance at 0915hrs. The food was excellent like everything about the hotel. The location was ideal for me, It was within walking distance (6-9 minutes) from Susukino famous as a nightlife district (but far enough away for no noise), but it is also a gourmet spot regardless of daytime or night time hours. There are many favorite restaurants serving seafood such as sea urchin and salmon roe, which are typical Hokkaido delicacies and miso ramen and Jingisukan barbecue. There is vending machines in hotel and a Lawson convenience store right opposite open 24hrs. Front desk is 24hrs and the staff speak English and are very friendly and helpful. I barrowed an Iron from them no extra charge, not like other hotels. Check out time at hotel is 1100hrs on final day.

Room was very spacious compared to many other hotels around Japan, price was very good, there is a washer/dryer, the dryer takes only 300 yen to almost fully dry my clothes, staff could speak some English, hotel was able to keep my luggage on my check-out day for me to explore the city before my flight, staff were very meticulous about requests such as for more towels and gave me plenty of towels.

The room was exactly as advertised. It was very comfortable. Certain things like irons needed to be rented, but the overall value was great, and the location was very convenient for exploring downtown Sapporo. There was free coffee available in the lobby between certain hours.

Great location, just off Susukino. Easy access to downtown, especially with a car, but without the crowd and noise. The bed was large and comfortable. The blackout curtain/shade was the best I've ever had in my life, literally no sunlight through even on midday.

We liked the room. It was very clean and big enough for two people. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was spacious. We liked especially the shower and the long table to place our things on. Also, you could get as many toiletries as you want as they had free service in front of the elevator.
