Lovely rooms; courteous, willing and friendly staff; free internet on lobby computers; free shuttle bus between hotel and railway station; handy to shopping and restaurants (Lawson Station convenience store next door, Mr Donut a block away!)... and one of the best buffet breakfasts we've ever had anywhere. Stayed three nights, would be first choice when returning to Sapporo.
great for those who wants to stay beside Susukino Ramen lane & the shopping district , it's also a 15mins walk to Odori Park. The room has nice decor, size is very comfortable consider the price is much lower compare to nearby big hotels so its worth the value but i do hope they change the body shampoo etc to permanent big bottles rather than disposable small tubes for environment reasons. Overall, a great city hotel with reasonable price, much recommended for Sapporo stay
I stayed there from July 22 - 27 and it was the perfect choice! Very good location, if you take the Tohu subway line, the hotel is just 3 doors away.
Hotel staff spoke very good English. They gave fantastic advice on local tours and also helped to book the tours. They also gave great advice and provided time schedules for bus transport to the airport. The bus stop is only across the road, less than 5 mins walk so it was a blessing not having to drag my big luggage down to the subway station.
In room wifi didn't work and I had to go back to the reception twice to get the router. However, the staff was really polite and kept apologizing for this. The wifi worked perfectly after installing the router.
Air condition inside the room worked perfectly and the size of the room was also quite decent.
Only complaint was the pillows.. I was given 4 pillows but they were either too soft or too hard.
I would definitely go back to this hotel again.. All in all, great locations, plenty of good restaurants and shopping.
We stayed in the Mercure for 5 nights on our recent Sapporo trip. It is about 20 minutes walk from the JR station, but this can be done completely underground following subways and shopping concorses.
We paid about $US130 per night for our room on average, which was a bargain. Our room was sizeable by Japanese standards and was delightfully fitted out, including the impressive bathroom. The staff were very helpful and friendly and spoke generally excellent English. There was free room internet (both cable and wifi), with each room apparently having it's own dedicated wi-fi.
All in all a great stay, an excellent hotel. There are a wealth of dining options nearby, and I would highly recommend Kuro Shima, which is on B1 of the M-Square building next door. See my seperate review of Kuro Shima for more details.
We spent only 1 night at mercure Sapporo but were very happy that we chose this hotel. It's centrally located in the shopping and entertainment district, next to the stations of two different underground lines. The hotel also runs a free shuttle to the Sapporo JR station during the day. The room was small, but I suppose this was the norm in Japan. Good decor and amenities. Front desk staff were all very friendly. We did not have breakfast at the hotel but there are many options nearby.
