Hotel Kaiko Sapporo Nakajima Koen

Even in high season, it costs less than 10,000 yen. Location: About 5 minutes walk from the subway, no restaurants nearby. 2 minutes walk to Seico Mart. However, business hours are from 7:00 to 23:00. Parking: Compact cars only. There are few coin parking lots nearby. Breakfast: Go to Kita no Gourmet, which is a 30-minute bus ride away. It will take 1.5 to 2 hours for the round trip and meal time. Recommended for travelers with time to spare! Not recommended for business travelers!

The Beer Festival had every hotel booked or overpriced. Last winter I stayed at MyStays Aspen, but they were completely booked during the days I was vacationing. After looking at a map for a while, I thought this would be a great option to stay at the Annex. It’s pretty much out of the way from everything. The room and bathroom is really small so don't go into this expecting it to be the Hilton. This place is really only for showering and sleeping. There is a shared kitchen and vending machines, but you need to have your own utensils.

We stayed here 1 night as we were en route to Niseko. We were in a room with a double bed. The room was pretty standard for Japanese business hotel - small by Western standards, but could fit our 2 large backpacks and ski bag fine enough. The bedroom and washroom was impeccably clean and everything seemed to be pretty new. The reception spoke with varying levels of English, but enough for us to check in and out. There is a kitchen on the 3rd floor guests can use for free. Wifi was pretty good. No complaints here.
