Khách sạn Granbell Tanuki, Sapporo

Staff are great! Front desk and everyone I had contact with were just top notch!!!

スパは本当にステキなデザインの建物でした。ただ温泉ではないので、長く湯船に浸かる目的だと温泉のあるホテルが良いと思います。露天風呂もあるのでチラつく雪が気持ちよかったです。特に15時からは貸切かな？と思うぐらい誰もいなくて、22時ごろから混み始めました。5人家族なので、全員が乗れるタクシーを1台お願いする場合は前日までにお願いすると確実ではないけれど当日よりはお願いできることもあるようでした。すすきのからは15分ぐらいでした。札幌駅からは歩いて25分かかりましたが、地下鉄に乗らなくても地下を歩けるので雪が降っていても傘はいりませんでした。

Excellent property - very close to Tanukikoji Street and shopping area. Tons of restaurants and shops nearby . Also close to Love Neko (Cat Cafe) and Sapporo Tower/Odori Park. The hot baths upstairs were wonderful -- the food was delicious -- the customer service was superb -- very helpful staff -- the money exchange machine in the lobby was so convenient. The front desk staff helped me get a taxi when needed. I enjoyed everything about this hotel. Awesome room -- fantastic bed -- nice area - great food - very quiet room. I stayed here for a week and LOVED every minute. Just a few downfalls: No dinner at the hotel -- but lots of dinner places nearby -- I recommend Mel's Diner right across the street. I ate there twice in one week. The taco/fried shrimp and cucumber salad were amazing. (if you want something outside of the typical Japanese food menu). When I caught the bus to the airport -- there was a line -- and I had to wait for the second bus. Make sure you get to the airport bus stop near the hotel SUPER EARLY -- so that you don't miss your plane. :)
