Ascent Inn Sapporo

No smoking free areas, Everywhere there was a cigarette smell, even in the non-smoking rooms. Old and sleazy hotel, Breakfast not included (luckily), super small rooms and parking availabale only if you have a low car (ex. Coupè), we had a minivan and the ceiling was extremely low

Pros 1. Near Higashi Sapporo MRT Station 2. Near AEON Plaza 3. Staffs are very helpful Cons 1.Very small double bed 2.Small room 3.2 stations away from interesting places 4. Place is very quiet and not much places to visit nearby

It is located just beside Higashi-sapporo subway station (Tozai line) which is only 3 stops away from Odori station where the Sapporo Winter festival held. The location is slight away from downtown which is less crowded, less touristic and allowed us to have a good rest. The hotel is located along Tozai line where you can easily switch to metro line (Toho) to reach Sapporo Beer musuem. Or taking along Tozai line to reach Ishya Chocolate factory. AEON mall was just located beside the hotel which you can do some shopping. The staff very polite, spoke little English but is good enough for communication. Amenities are well equipped, room is not big or new but still ok as you won't spend too much time in the room. They are most willing to lend you the wifi router for the room as long as you request during check in.
