Location-wise, it is near the shopping street/market and can be reached by walking which helps when you want to stroll around when you check-in in the hotel. The hotel staff is very accommodating since you can go there early before your check-in time and they will allow you to leave your luggages so you can explore the nearby places and just come back in your check-in time - same goes for check-out. Room-wise, it is your typical room for 2 which has a nice bed and a private restroom. You can get your amenities in the reception area (e.g. toothbrush/toothpaste, razor, bags, etc.). There's also a breakfast buffet worth 800 yen for guest (as of 11-Feb) with delicious food. The best part of Hotel Raffinato in my opinion is the hotel receptionists especially those who are in the afternoon shift because they were very helpful to us because when we arrived (at 11-Feb around 02:00PM JST), my boyfriend was not feeling well (vomiting and fever) and the receptionists especially the woman around her 40s (sorry as we were not able to get her name!), went above and beyond to help us immediately to connect to the nearest and open (because it was a Sunday) clinic/hospitals so we can do a check-up with a doctor.

None.

There's this hotel hidden away at the back of Tanuki Koji in Sapporo. It's an older hotel but it's really well-kept and clean. It's within walking distance from Odori Subway Station and Susukino Subway Station, making its location super reasonable for the price. I'd definitely recommend it.

The bathtub's a bit on the small side, but if you're just taking a shower, it should be fine. It's a bummer that there aren't any power outlets near the bed. Having an extension cord about 2 meters long would be pretty handy.

The hotel met my requirements. The location was very good, you can quickly walk to Odori Park and the main train station is not far away. My Japanese is not perfect, but the staff was very friendly and there were no problems. The highlight was definitely the breakfast; there was a large selection of different food. There was rice, miso soup, fried noodles, scrambled eggs, toast (and toaster), croissants, milk rolls, jam, pickled vegetables, meatballs, fish and so on. There were also many fruit juices and other drinks. The room was cleaned every day. A good hotel, fair value for money.

The breakfast is buffet style and really delicious. The staff is very friendly. Since the bed was a normal-sized bed (not queen size), there was enough space in the room for my large suitcase and I still could walk in the room.

This hotel is an amazing choice. It is close to many fun places like Odori Park, Sapporo Tower, Maruyama Zoo, Ski Resorts and more. It is also close to many amazing restaurants and convenience stores. it was the perfect choice for me and my husband. We enjoyed our stay in a comfortable and clean room and were even able to do laundry which was a plus.

Although the hotel is dated, the room condition was not bad. The hotel was very quiet and clean.

Twin room was very small. The bathroom was so tiny. There was no USB port and the power point was located at the end of beds as the hotel was designed long time ago.

The bed was great, location is very convenient and the breakfast is economical y good. Specially, the assistance and reception personal were amazing. We had some special requests because it was our final destination of a bicycle trip, so we needed to pack the bicycles and get them picked up by a delivery company from the hotel and they were very flexible, helpful and friendly in giving us a place to do that. They even lent me some tools.

The location was great and the staff very helpful and friendly. The hotel is a bit old but very well kept, they have a welcome drink, and the laundry room has a vending machine for soap, which I highly appreciate cause I keep forgetting to get one

The staff were excellent and so accommodating. Kept our bags and even took them up to the room while we were out

Even though we stayed on a non smoking floor there was a very strong smell of smoke from the hallway room was great thoug. Bed was a little hard.

It was a very good hotel to stay at — the location is great walking distance to several local areas for parks, shopping, food, etc. I've stayed at quite a few hotels and inns in Japan, and this bed was probably the most comfortable of all the other places. The staff were very nice as well. I had accidentally booked a "smoking" room but didn't notice until the day of check-in. I contacted them to inquire about any possible room changes (though I could understand if this wasn't possible) and they changed the room for me. I really appreciated it. If you stay for a few days, the cleaning staff will also provide fresh towels and complimentary tea in a bag outside your room if you don't want your room cleaned. It was nice and convenient.
