Family-friendly Hotels in Sapporo

Mercure Sapporo is conveniently located between Susukino (Namboku line) and Hosuisusukino (Toho line). The room booked (deluxe double) was spacious (over 40 square meters) and the breakfast selection was decent. My children loved the food! Jump onto the Tozai line at Odori and you can visit Shiroi Koibito park after a short walk. Jump onto the JR line at Sapporo and you can reach to further places like Otaru or Noboribetsu. The service staff are friendly and helpful. Certainly recommended if you’re coming with young kids.

Although the hotel is older, it is very clean and tidy. Please note that water slides require additional charges, and you need to pay attention to the opening hours of the outdoor swimming pool. Since we stayed in June, the weather was not too hot, so although the indoor swimming pool has warm water, it was still a little cold. It is recommended that if you have children, it would be better to wear long-sleeved swimsuits.  On the contrary, the hot spring part is more surprising, with an outdoor independent bathing location. The indoor bathing areas are very spacious. There are also many places to wash up. It is also worth mentioning that it is highly recommended to purchase dinner. The crab legs for dinner will definitely make the hotel worth the price! Because their crab legs have a lot of meat, are very fresh, and don’t taste like ice cream! There’s no need to worry about not refilling, it’s always full!

The stay was overall above average. Suggestions for the hotel are 1. Usb ports or travel adapters in the room 2. Reception should ask for our dietary preferences when we check in. Couldn't eat the beef dish provided during dinner 3. Drinks counter at the audio area can be extended to 12 midnight as there aren't really anything to do after onsen 4. Feeder bus timing from Sapporo station can be earlier so we can have more time to walk around the parks and vicinity prior to check in. We had to rush to the park as it gets dark very early during autumn.
