In June 2023, I am in Sapporo for a six-day solo trip. I arrived and went out for drinks right away, safely returning. I came back relatively early, so I'm proud of myself haha. The next day, I head to breakfast feeling fine without a hangover. It's included for free (well, if you listen to some people, it's already included in the price, but I'm grateful for that). It's all you can eat, whether it's rice or bread. I wouldn't mind some egg dishes, though. But I can't eat that much anyway, so I just had sausages with bread. Thank you for the meal!

Stayed at Business Inn Nishijima Koen. Had a free breakfast at the hotel in the morning. Wasn't expecting much, so it was okay. The sausage and scrambled eggs tasted comforting. There was also ochazuke besides bread. It was nice that drinks like coffee were free all day.

I stayed in May and repeated my stay in June. I am completely focused on cost performance. I was bothered by the sound of the doors opening and closing around the room, but I was able to sleep soundly as I had quite a bit of alcohol. The staff's customer service is still good and reassuring. The free WiFi without a password may be a concern for some people. I had a light breakfast because I wanted to eat a lot for lunch. The bread is delicious when lightly toasted. Scrambled eggs and fresh vegetables are good. Everything else is tough (lol). I paid 4,000 yen for one person. I received a 4,000 yen coupon, so it was essentially free. It may not be suitable for those who want to take a bath or have specific preferences. Also, for those who want to use the coupon at a restaurant, it may not be suitable for those who don't have time or find it troublesome to research. I had two cups of drip coffee, which was delicious. Thank you very much for taking care of me again this time.

I have stayed at various hotels such as Hokkaido resident discount and Sapporo discount, but this time I stayed at this hotel which I felt had the best cost performance. I could use both the Hokkaido resident discount and Sapporo discount, paying only 3500 yen per person. It also came with a 4000 yen coupon and breakfast included. I can't complain about the room or breakfast (lol). The hotel is located next to Ookamisoup and Hotel Rio. I have been to both places before. The front desk provided good customer service and the room, bath, and toilet were old, but the room size was decent. You can hear the opening and closing of doors from neighboring rooms quite clearly. The bed had cheap springs, but everything was clean and I didn't feel stressed. As for breakfast, the items shown in the photo are all that was served: 2 types of bread, scrambled eggs, sausages, salad (French dressing, sesame), potato salad, tea rice porridge (salmon, plum), and 2 types of pickles. The scrambled eggs were creamy and delicious. The rest was as expected. The dishes were already cold when served. It's free, so I can't complain, but it's nice to have. Thank you for the meal.

All plans come with breakfast and a welcome drink! Looking at past reviews, there used to be a variety of bread types, but now there are three kinds (no complaints since it's free). Instead, there is a rice porridge corner where you can eat rice. The welcome drink options are coffee (blend, American), which I tried and found to be delicious without any acidity, and apple water. There is also hot apple water available, which when combined with tea, makes it taste like apple tea. Additionally, there is green tea, water, and hot water. The breakfast includes bread rolls, croissants, chocolate croissants, scrambled eggs, potato salad, pork sausages, salad, white rice, pickles, and rice porridge. There are also sesame dressing, ketchup, jams (marmalade/strawberry), and margarine. The staff is very polite and regularly replenishes the dishes. The room I stayed in was a single room, which was quite spacious and comfortable. In the ladies' room, there are amenities like aroma diffusers, foot massagers, and face steamers. However, there were no herbal teas as mentioned, and there were no cosmetic amenities. Free Wi-Fi is available, but it can be risky (I used it anyway).

This is a business hotel located a few minutes' walk from Nakajima Koen Station in Sapporo. It is a bit hidden behind Lifort, but it offers high cost performance. The complimentary breakfast service is especially appreciated by those who value cost performance, and I hope they continue to offer it in the future. However, it may not be suitable for those looking for a hearty breakfast with Hokkaido's delicious food. Please choose a restaurant that suits your preferences.

I booked a plan with breakfast included! This time I stayed in a single room for a little over 3000 yen. It was quite affordable. I was a bit worried for a moment because the hotel next door seemed like a love hotel, but I think I made the right reservation (laughs). At check-in, I picked up roomwear, a razor, and cotton swabs. In the restaurant, there was a welcome drink service with self-service tea and coffee that you could bring back to your room (limited time). The room only had amenities like a toothbrush. Even though it was a single room, the bed felt like a semi-double size. There was only one pillow. The overall decor was old but clean. The bath was a unit bath, so it only had a shower. They also offered delivery and room service at reasonable prices (like udon for 440 yen). They deliver until 10 pm, so you won't have trouble finding food. There's also a popular ramen shop nearby. The lighting in the room was dim with indirect lighting. There was no humidifier, but there was a refrigerator. WiFi was available and worked well. However, it was a free WiFi, so it's a bit risky (laughs). Breakfast was buffet style with croissants and basic bread. The dressing options were Caesar and sesame. The croissants were surprisingly tasty. There was jam and margarine, and coffee and tea were available. Overall, it was a fresh experience and I enjoyed it. It's always fun to try new things and have new experiences. Thank you for the meal!

Business Innorte Sapporo, I'm alone, I came from Asahikawa and it's been a while since I drove on local roads. Unfortunately, I didn't find anything worth mentioning on the way, but on the way back, I found a place I wanted to stop by. This time, I chose a hotel based on good reviews and affordability. I've stayed here before, but I haven't written about it, I wonder why? Maybe the other person was bad? Anyway, now that it's done, some time has passed. The room is not very spacious but clean. The Wi-Fi doesn't require a password, but it's slow and doesn't work smoothly, so I had to use a wired connection for my PC. As for smartphones, it's a bit of a challenge. The hotel is located on Minami 11-jo, and although I arrived late and went out into the city, I didn't feel like exploring too far. For breakfast, there was bread, but I didn't need it, so I just had the side dishes. The sausages had an excessively thick skin, the scrambled eggs didn't have that unpleasant margarine smell, the salad was slightly bitter, and the potato salad had a hint of sweetness. Well, if it's free, it's not a problem, right? It's all about taking precautions. In Asahikawa's hotel, the buffet was temporarily suspended, and you had to choose from three options. However, some items were still available in buffet style, with staff wearing gloves and supervising, although not strictly. It's pretty much self-regulated here. It happened in August, by the way.

I finished work early and went to a yakitori restaurant that I had been looking forward to. I had a great time drinking there in a relaxed atmosphere. I ended up staying for almost 4 hours. I took a taxi back to my accommodation. The next morning, I had breakfast included in my plan, which was decent but nothing special. The hotel had a parking garage directly connected to the basement, which was convenient. Despite feeling sleepy, I drove to work safely.

I searched on my usual "Jalan Net" and chose a business hotel based on the timing and the fact that it has a private parking lot. The hotel is located near Nakajima Park, diagonally across from the Park Hotel. It's a bit of a walk, but it's convenient for dining in Susukino and the Hiragishi area. The hotel's private parking lot, directly connected to the basement, accommodates vehicles up to 2.2 meters high and offers a great deal of 1000 yen per night. I booked a single non-smoking room with breakfast included for 4000 yen, and with a 400 yen discount using Jalan points, I was able to stay for 3600 yen (including parking fee of 4600 yen). The check-out time at 11:00 is great for someone like me who often stays for drinking parties, as I can sleep in comfortably. The facilities and rooms are a bit old, but cleanliness is well maintained, and the room is clean and spacious enough. The bed has outlets, so you can charge your smartphone conveniently. The breakfast mainly consists of bread, with side dishes like eggs, sausages, and vegetables. It's a simple meal, but it's sufficient. Note that next to the hotel is a large love hotel, so make sure to confirm the surroundings if you're not a guest there.

On the first night of returning to Hokkaido, I stayed at a hotel in Nakajima Park... It's snow festival season, so just finding a hotel with vacancies is a relief... The price was not really worth it though. I checked in in the evening on the first day and went to Susukino... I came back around 4:30 in the morning the next day... Checked out around 10 am... So I stayed for about 5 and a half hours~ I woke up late the next day, around 8:30. I decided to try the complimentary breakfast, even though I was still full from the day before. The breakfast buffet was really just light snacks... Even if you take everything, it's as shown in the photo... No rice, the main dish was just sausages... I'm not a fan of bread so... Well, it was good to be able to stay at all, but it's high season so it can't be helped~ I'll consider it as half price, around 6,000 to 7,000 yen. There are often hotels in this price range that offer complimentary breakfast. People say, "It's free? It can't be helped because it's free..." I think the hotel side is also doing business, so the cost of this breakfast is definitely included in the hotel fee, right? This means that even people who don't want to eat breakfast are being forced to have breakfast. Is this to prevent complaints from guests by making it seem like it's free? I suddenly thought about that (laughs). I wish they had rice, natto, and raw eggs~ I had a comfortable stay. Thank you very much~ (*´∀`)♪ [Tabelog] ☆3.01 [Tanuki Rating (Breakfast)] ★Overall... 26 points ★Atmosphere... 6 points ★Food... 5 points ★Signature Menu... 5 points ★Cost performance... 5 points ★Likelihood to revisit... 5 points

In late August 2018, I stayed at Business Inn Nolte near Nakajima Park for three nights. Breakfast was included, and the buffet had a decent variety. However, the cost of over 10,000 yen per night didn't feel very cost-effective. This time, my main purpose was to participate in the Hokkaido Marathon 2018. After the registration closed, I booked the cheapest accommodation, which was Business Inn Nolte. It was located two subway stops away from Odori Park, where the marathon took place, and was within walking distance. I stayed there for three nights. The Couples Hotel and Nolte are on different floors but share the same building, with only the entrance being separate. The room at Nolte was typical of a business hotel, and I had breakfast there on the second day. I noticed that many guests were from overseas. The breakfast included a selection of bread, coffee or tea, and a salad that was not very appealing. I didn't use the breakfast on the marathon day but had bread and juice on the last day. It seems that the prices of hotels in Sapporo are being raised by inbound tourists. Despite this, I was satisfied with the cheapest option. Hopefully, next year will be even more relaxing. Thank you.

60th birthday and retirement commemorative full moon trip Part 2: Sapporo, in no particular order. On December 27th, after visiting the Asahiyama Zoo, we had Asahikawa ramen at Tsuruya in Asahikawa. Then we took the JR Limited Express to Sapporo. From Sapporo Station, we took the Nanboku Line subway to Nakajima Koen, the third stop, and walked a few minutes to the hotel we had reserved. Upon check-in, we were welcomed with complimentary coffee at the restaurant on the first floor. The hotel was slightly older compared to the one we stayed at in Asahikawa, but it was clean and the room, although small, was comfortable. The twin room cost 6,600 yen including tax for one night, making it even more affordable. Breakfast was not included but there was a complimentary light breakfast service. The restaurant space on the first floor was quite small, but they offered a variety of 10 types of bread and a vegetable salad buffet. Hot coffee, orange juice, and apple juice were available for drinks. It was a self-service system, so after eating, we had to separate our trash and return the dishes and trays to the designated area. While some might complain if it was advertised as a breakfast included, calling it a free breakfast service for room-only guests made us feel like we got a good deal. The hotel was within walking distance to Susukino and only three subway stops away from Sapporo Station, making it very convenient. The twin room for two people at 6,600 yen including tax, with all-you-can-eat bread for breakfast, was a steal. Thank you for the meal.

Category: Favorite Izakaya (Hokkaido / Tohoku) Today I watched the national bartender skills competition. I stayed overnight in Sapporo and enjoyed a solo trip to izakayas. I started at "Daisan Mokkiri Center." Since it was my first time at the hotel and I was unsure of the location, I took a taxi to check-in. It's close to Nakajima Park. At night, I visited about three bars to greet them and then walked back. It's no problem to walk from Susukino. Now, onto the free breakfast. I went to the breakfast venue a bit late, but there was still food left. First, I took my medication, and then I had breakfast. I filled my plate with salad and topped it with sesame dressing. I carefully selected one type of bread for my plate. For drinks, I had orange juice. It's simple, but it's enough for breakfast. Thank you for the meal. Let's walk to the hotel across the main street for some exercise. Thank you for your hospitality! "Business Inn Norte (Norte)" Sapporo, Hokkaido, Chuo-ku, Minami 11-jo Nishi 1-chome 1-35

I used it for sightseeing a while ago. It was an early check-in just after 3 pm. The staff explained how to use the hotel in a friendly and detailed manner. I was able to use the welcome coffee (1st floor restaurant), so I left my luggage in the room and had a cup before going out. It was a slightly strong coffee made by a machine. The room was of a standard design, nothing special. It was helpful to have WIFI available. Breakfast included free bread (all-you-can-eat), coffee, and juice. There were surprisingly many types of bread available. The sweet bread was popular. Grapefruit and orange juice were also popular (from a machine). *It seems that the grapefruit juice ran out halfway through.

I used it for a solo trip to Hokkaido. It was located three stations away from Sapporo Station, so I was a bit lost, but I was attracted by the price for one night and the included breakfast. It is a 5-minute walk from Nakajima Koen Station on the subway. The front desk staff were all very kind. It was a single room, but it was spacious enough to spread out a large suitcase with plenty of room to spare. Breakfast included several types of bread, juice, and coffee. There was also a coffee service in the evening to night at the same place. The coffee made by the machine one cup at a time was very delicious. The room service menu in the room was well-stocked with ramen, pizza, set meals, etc., and the prices were reasonable, similar to eating out. I chose it based on price because I was only staying overnight, but it turned out to be a very comfortable stay.

--11.02.05-14 First Visit--Sapporo Photo Exhibition Stay Diary Part 19 Choosing a hotel for my stay in Sapporo this time was quite a challenge. As a freelancer taking a week off to stay, the first condition was to cut travel expenses as much as possible! However, the timing coincided with the Sapporo Snow Festival period, meaning it was the peak season, resulting in the highest prices for both accommodation and flights! (sweat) While you can find cheap package tours for stays of 2-3 nights, for a week-long stay... Furthermore, during this busy period, you have to secure flight tickets early... I first booked a budget flight ticket and then searched for accommodation. I chose this business hotel from among the options. As initially hoped, it was very cheap. Despite the small semi-double room, staying for 9 nights with two people cost only 43,360 yen! That's less than 5,000 yen per night! Not for one person, but for two people! My wife found this hotel, and I am truly grateful. The location is a 5-minute walk from Nakajima Koen Station on the Namboku Line from Sapporo, which is the third stop. It's about a 15-minute walk from Susukino, so it has good access to the city center and is in a quiet area, making it almost the best for us. The room was frankly small! Well, that's to be expected at this price. The bed was a semi-double, but it was cramped for two people. However, it was clean and not too shabby, so we could spend our time comfortably. Breakfast was complimentary. It's nice not to have to search for a good restaurant in the morning, so this was a welcome service. However, it was a bit lonely as it only consisted of bread. But there was a variety of bread, ranging from sweet pastries to savory bread, and they were replenished as they ran out, so you could enjoy different types of bread each day, which was a relief for long-term guests. From my experience of staying for over a week, I found that there were more savory bread options in the morning if you went early. Additionally, there are paid services such as Japanese set meals available, so if you're not satisfied with just bread, you could give them a try. By the way, I bought simple deli items and yogurt from a nearby convenience store and stored them in the room's refrigerator, so I could manage to get by. For drinks, orange juice, grapefruit juice, tea bags for black tea, and coffee from an espresso machine were complimentary. The espresso machine coffee was also available as a welcome drink, not just during breakfast hours, until 11 p.m., so we often ate cake and chocolate in the dining area. For dinner, you could also have simple meals for a fee. On our first day, as we checked in after 10 p.m., we didn't have the energy to go out for a meal, so we ate here. I had "Gomoku Chahan" (500 yen) and "Carbonara" (580 yen). I underestimated it, thinking it would just be reheated frozen food or microwave meals at this kind of business hotel and at this price, but to my surprise, cooked dishes were served. It wasn't enough to say whether it was delicious or not, but it was far better than frozen food or convenience store bento, which made me happy. Overall, it was a comfortable accommodation at a very affordable price. And all the staff were kind and conscientious... For example, when I bought a cake from a nearby bakery called "Bon Vivant" and asked if I could eat it in the dining area, they not only allowed me to use the space but also lent me plates, forks, and knives. It was not the typical business-like service you might expect at a budget hotel, but rather polite and attentive. I remember that you could earn points based on the number of nights stayed, and there were days when accommodation fees were halved, and they even assigned the most expensive nights to those discounted days. If I have to stay for a long period for work, I would consider using this hotel again. With this, the Sapporo Photo Exhibition Stay Diary finally comes to an end.

The hotel offers freshly brewed coffee for 500 yen with unlimited refills and allows customers to bring their own cakes from nearby Bon Vivant. Guests staying at the hotel can enjoy a complimentary breakfast buffet with Kyoto Bakery bread, vegetable salad, coffee, barley tea, and juice. The staff pays close attention to the display, ensuring a variety of delicious bread options. The hotel is conveniently located near the station and Nakajima Park, with cake shops, ramen restaurants, fish cake shops, and convenience stores nearby. Overall, it was a comfortable and clean stay in my first visit to Sapporo, Hokkaido. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the dining area, so here is a photo of the cute entrance of Business Inn Nolte. It reminded me of the office from the old drama "Playgirl."
