Toyoko Inn Hokkaido Sapporo Susukino Kosaten is a budget business hotel at the heart of Susukino, Sapporo's entertainment district. The rooms are simple and clean, with free in-room WiFi, air conditioning and heating, a mini fridge, an electric kettle and a bidet toilet. A free breakfast buffet is included, which stretches the budget further, and the 24-hour front desk handles late arrivals. Susukino Station is a one-minute walk, and the Tanukikoji arcade is two minutes away, so you can reach restaurants, ramen shops and bars without a long walk. It is a practical base for travellers who want to spend their money on food and sightseeing rather than on the room.
Location and getting around
Susukino Station is about a one-minute walk, and the Tanukikoji shopping street is two minutes away. Nijo Market and Odori Park are each about six minutes on foot, the TV Tower about eight, and Nakajima Park about eleven. Sapporo Station is about a 14-minute walk or a short subway ride. Ramen Alley is a short walk away, which makes this a favourite among noodle lovers. After dark the district is lively, so ask for a higher floor if you prefer quieter nights.
Rooms and facilities
Rooms are compact and functional, with a flat-screen TV, a mini fridge, a kettle and a bidet toilet. The beds are comfortable, and the rooms are heated in winter. Facilities include laundry, dry cleaning, luggage storage, a vending machine and a water dispenser, plus a lift. The free breakfast buffet is the highlight for the price, though it can get busy at peak times, so go early. Self-parking is available for a nightly fee, but with limited spaces. The building is smoke-free.
Who it suits and what to know: solo travellers, couples and groups of friends on a budget will find it excellent value. Families may find the rooms small, and there are no spa facilities, so if you want a hot spring, consider the Dormy Inn instead. Check-in runs from 3 PM to 10 PM, so tell the hotel if you will arrive late, and check-out is at 10 AM, earlier than at many hotels.
Only service animals are allowed. During the Snow Festival, rooms sell out months ahead, so book early. For a clean, central, low-cost stay, this hotel does the job.
