HOTEL MYSTAYS Sapporo Station

Stayed at Mystays Sapporo Station for 3 nights from 4-6 May 2025. There’s another Mystays nearby called Mystays Sapporo Aspen just across a small road. Don’t make the mistake of going to that more ‘posh’ bigger hotel! Note that the hotel is under the ECO plan so there’s no housekeeping. If you have rubbish, pack in a plastic bag and put outside the room. However towels, disposable toothbrushbrushes and tea sachets will be hung in a bag on the hotel door handle. Room was adequately equipped with the usual though it was small. Not sure how but they managed to squeeze a bathtub in the toilet! And there’s a bidet on the toilet bowl and the seat is warm. Need to switch it though. Air-con had hot and cold function. It can get pretty cold in spring, especially in the early morning, so grateful for the heater. Hot water shower was good and consistent. Hot water flow easily. However the wash basin was very low in height, typical of Japanese wash basins. One great thing about this hotel: they have memory foam pillows in the room. Hence I really sleep soundly each night. I’ve not seen memory foam pillows in any of the hotels I have stayed so far, even in Europe! Eateries however are sparsely located around the hotel. Got go to walking and hunting and some restaurants closed early. Sapporo (train) station is 5mins away. There are many eateries there. Daimaru is underground and beneath the train station. But it’s a maze of shops underground and navigating around underground, even for eateries, can be difficult. Unless you are not particular about what you eat. Communication is still a problem here. Many still can’t speak English well and some can managed sparing English speaking. Google Translate can be helpful and u used it a couple of times. Finding a rubbish bin is also another problem. It is extremely difficult to find one, even in the toilets. Sometimes they have one outside the toilets. Mostly they are absent got to use those that are to put recycled waste.

We stayed in the Superior Twin Room and it was rather small for a family of four with four suitcases. Fortunately, we managed to push and combine both beds into one large bed and made room for putting suitcases. From Sapporo JR Station, take the North Exit (for Hokkaido University) and walk 5mins to Hotel MyStays Sapporo Station. There was also an underground tunnel near the hotel that connects to the station and malls nearby. We only requested for room cleaning once throughout our one week stay but we were given fresh new towels and toiletries everyday (neatly placed in a bag outside our room), great service from the hotel staff! We had a microwave on our floor, making it convenient to heat up take away meals. There were also a currency exchange machine at the lobby, 3 washing machines and 3 dryers on the second floor. Bottled water was not provided in the hotel but we took free ice from the ice machine and boiled them to get water.
