What is the Hollywood Twin Room like?

IMG_0323(19) copy

The room was retro and stylish, but the furniture seemed a little old. Compared to the beautiful design of the outside and the lobby, the room was a downgrade. However, it was cleaned very well.

IMG_0323(14) copy

As it was a Hollywood twin room, two 110 cm wide beds were put together.

IMG_3398 copy

The bed and pillows were fluffy and comfortable to sleep on, but there was only one pillow prepared on each bed which was a little inconvenient.

There was also a desk next to the TV with a smart phone that you can use freely during your stay.

Above the sofa was a window.

My room was a corner room, so there were two windows.

Hotel Surroundings

Sapporo Station and convenience stores were nearby, so it was very convenient. It was nice to be able to walk to Odori Park, Clock Tower and Sapporo TV Tower. The hotel is within walking distance to all the sightseeing spots in Sapporo. It’s one meter away by taxi to get to Susukino to go out to eat. However, I thought that it was more convenient to use a subway than a taxi because there was heavy traffic around Susukino. It felt very safe around the station.

Staff and Guests

The staff were very kind and helpful. They called taxis for me and helped me to the sofa because I was pregnant. They even made an effort to check me in as soon as possible.

フロント全体 copy

There were many Chinese people staying at this hotel. The hotel seemed more suitable for couples or wealthy tourists.

Summary

The best part about staying at this hotel was how close it was to Sapporo Station. It was also nice that it was within walking distance to the clock tower and Odori Park. The hotel was lovely with an English retro style. The breakfast buffet used ingredients from Hokkaido and there were plenty of dishes to pick from. The staff were all very helpful as well. Some issues were the small bathroom and only one pillow being prepared on the bed. Also, it would have been nice if parking was free.
