"The hotel of choice for Sapporo visitors who want stellar city views and easy access to shopping and food, the Hotel Nikko Sapporo is located on floors 23-34 of the JR Tower, the tallest building on the island of Hokkaido. The Tower tops the main train station, and includes a shopping center, an observation deck, a branch of department store Daimaru, and a dedicated ramen restaurant complex. The hotel itself offers French fine dining, a casual European-style cafe and bakery, a buffet restaurant with live jazz music, and traditional Japanese cuisine. The full-floor spa pipes water into its thermal pools from 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) and can be visited for just bathing or for beauty and body treatments. The guest rooms’ main attraction are the views, but don’t lack for comfort or style."

Wonderful Stay at JR Tower Hotel Nikko Sapporo 🌸 Our last three days in Japan were spent in Sapporo, Hokkaido, and we stayed at the JR Tower Hotel Nikko Sapporo — what an amazing experience! The hotel is beautiful, with a stunning view of the city and surrounding mountains. Everything was spotless and elegant. The Onsen was fabulous — there were three different temperature baths and a sauna, plus a relaxing lounge with breathtaking views. It was the perfect way to unwind after exploring Sapporo. The staff were truly wonderful — they greeted us with such kindness and made us feel genuinely welcome. We would especially like to thank Ms. Nishiwaki for her exceptional help in finding an exercise gym outside the hotel. She went above and beyond, even printing out a map and directions for us. Her thoughtfulness and professionalism made our stay extra special. We will definitely return and highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Sapporo!

I really like this hotel. It's just a cut above other hotels in every way (service, amenities, decor, location). I hope they keep up the wonderful experience for guests. I recommend staying on a higher floor and paying for bath access. The bathroom with the classic style shower and soaker tub is way nicer than a more western style bathroom, though easier for me than a tall person to fit.

Hotel is conveniently located right at Sapporo Station. Rooms are great, clean and unblocked from the windows for the room we got. There are plenty of shopping around the area. Head down to B1, it connects almost anywhere in the vicinity. No need to walk in the cold streets. Plenty of food choices around as well. If you are planning to stay in Sapporo for travels, this can be an excellent place to stay.

First the good part. Great location, attentive staff and concierge and good breakfast. The western style breakfast is much better with a lot more choices than the Japanese style breakfast. It includes plenty of Japanese food anyway. Now the bad part. The room is ridiculously small for standard room unless you pick a corner room. You have no place to put two check in suitcases unless you place one on the writing table. The furniture and fixtures are cheap fiberboard type like IKEA stuff and it actually will be an insult to IKEA to be compared with it. The room runs north of $400 in summer and I assume it will be higher in ski season. For this price range, certain standards need to be met. Forbes magazine travel review puts it as the hotel to stay in Sapporo. For that alone I should cancel my Forbes magazine subscription

This has so far been my lowest setting for a Japanese hotel. Service, tidyness and location are top notch BUT the rooms are showing their age albeit the excellent upkeep. I've stayed in other JR hotels, just as compact, but this didn't even have space to spread out my luggage. But what brought down my rating was the old smokey pungent of my supposed non-smoking room. The ionizer or the spray didn't help much. I could tell it wasn't just my room as the entryway that had the same carpet also had the same odor. Not recommended for those with sensitive noses like mine

Excellent hotel centrally located in Sapporo and right next door to a giant mall with various food options as well as JR Sapporo station. The rooms are uniquely Japanese with a 80s vibe - perfectly clean and comfortable. The one improvement that would be a huge plus is more vegetarian options in the restaurants. Sapporo is still a little behind the times compared to Tokyo or Kyoto in this regard. The staff is friendly and super helpful.

This is our second time staying in the JR Tower Hotel. It's a landmark building, and all rooms are above the 23rd floor. We chose the corner room on the 32nd floor with towering window views of the city. We enjoyed the calmness and elegance in the hotel. The staff are nice and bright, ready to serve their guests. For breakfast, we dined at the Japanese restaurant TANCHO and it amazed us the same as SKY J (western buffet) that we chose last time. There are various options for cuisine: French restaurant, bar, lobby lounge and banquet hall. This hotel also features great location with direct access to Sapporo, so easy to recognize it from anywhere in the area. We registered for its One Harmony Membership and were offered special room rates.

On the second leg of our japan trip we stayed at this hotel as our base for a few days as we explored other parts of hokkaido. Located directly next to the train station, this hotel is centrally located to the train and subway station. In addition, there is a Daimaru shopping center nearby with a basement food hall and plenty of other shopping options. You honestly cant beat the location if your a tourist. Because of the location the hotel does cater to tourists, and there are plenty of folks who speak english, and/or chinese. The staff here is also very helpful and accomodating and were able to store our luggage in between our stays as we ventured out for other day trips to other areas. Overall we felt that the room was clean and on par with other japanese style hotels. I know others have indicated that the room is somewhat small but having stayed at multiple hotels throughout japan, i would say that is very comparable. Overall a great location for any traveler.

Anyway, this hotel's location was quite super. This hotel was connected directly to the JR Sapporo station. That's quite convenient. This JR tower contained the Daimaru department store and the Stella place shopping mole. It had many shops and restaurants and cafes. That's also much convenient. Hotel itself was normal. Each room's breadth was very ordinary. Clean and cozy.Some amenity needs to request to have. This hotel's superiority was it's great breakfast buffet. Buffet restaurant was located at the top of the tower.The view was great.Variety and volume of buffet was quite super. It was occupied in Hokkaido specialties.You may reference my images. Enjoy you stay at Sapporo here!

I like that this hotel is located close to the JR line (which is downstairs) and has many stores, shops and restaurants closeby. The room is a bit small, but it was ok for 4 girls. The shower could have been a bit smaller to give more room to the sink area, but I really liked that they gave haribrushes, toothbrushes, and razors in the room haha. Recommend when staying in Hokkaido!
