JR Inn Sapporo

Simple hotel, with everything you need for a proper stay. The room is small along with the bathroom, but achieves its task, very attentive staff, fair breakfast and necessary to then eat later. In general they are a plus to be able to choose the pillows and silence and that is next to a train station. I recommend it as a place for travelers who are not looking for a luxury hotel but to tour and know Sapporo and its surroundings.

The place was incredibly near the station about a five minute walk to Sapporo station, Daimaru, Stellar Place and underground that get you to odori park. I think all rooms are facing the railway which is cool specially when its snowing. Staff were really nice and greets you all the time (really love the Japanese culture). I felt that our room is somehow bigger. There is a big desk to pu things. Medium luggage can fit under the desk. Bathroom is small, thats fine its just for relaxing your feet after a long day walking. If we were to come back this is one place we would look at always.

This was our third stay at JR Inn Sapporo and the sixth hotel on our journey. Its location remains one of its greatest strengths—just a short walk from Sapporo Station, making it a convenient base for exploring the city. During our visit, there was some ongoing construction nearby, but it didn’t noticeably impact our comfort. One feature we’ve always appreciated is the ability to choose our preferred pillows from the lobby—a small but thoughtful touch that adds to the overall experience. Our room was comfortably sized, with a standard double bed and enough space to open our luggage without feeling cramped. It also came with a proper desk and chair, which was handy for daily planning or catching up on light work. The TV only had basic Japanese channels, but we didn’t mind, as we spent most of our time outside. The complimentary breakfast was another welcome perk—simple, but a nice way to start the day. All in all, JR Inn Sapporo remains a reliable and pleasant choice for us: clean, comfortable, and conveniently located with thoughtful amenities.
