This is an excellent hotel, slightly off the tourist beaten path, with a quiet and elegant vibe. The rooftop bar has a view of Sapporo that is exquisite. The staff is attentive and helpful. Free shuttle bus to new Chitose airport. Excellent breakfast options. Walking distance to Odori Park and Subway and street cars, this is an excellent choice if you want to stay out of tourist mayhem.

The room was spacious and clean with a nice layout, and the staff were professional and helpful when I needed to use their luggage courier service. The club lounge had a great view and decent complimentary food and drinks. However, the room has no external sound proofing. On the 26th floor you can hear outside traffic, sirens, and even the crosswalk signal beeping. The area is not super walkable in winter snow, though I'm sure it's much easier in warmer weather. Most restaurants or attractions are about a 15-20 minute walk away and feels twice as far in inclement weather.

The Sapporo Prince was a wonderful base for exploring Sapporo. The free shuttle to and from the station was a bonus and gave an immediate sense of the quality of service and accommodation that was awaiting us. Our room was relatively spacious compared to others on our trip and gave us views across the city. Our stay included breakfast in the buffet restaurant and it was fantastic with a huge selection of options. On our last night we went to the cocktail lounge on the 28th floor and, though not a budget friendly experience, the ambiance, views and service made it worthwhile.

Exceptional buffet breakfast at a reasonable price. And proximity to Odori Koen was convenient however, the added fee for the onsen use along with the unexpectedly small room size left the 3 of us dissatisfied with the overall experience.
We stayed at Sapporo Mitsui Garden West on 07/10/25 and felt the overall experience was better. Certain amenities at Prince stand out as 5 star (restaurant food quality, elevator quality and condition, front lobby efficiency and language proficiency), but the small room size was the factor that was a unanimous turnoff.

I checked in on 23 December and arrived at the hotel at around 4:00 p.m. As there was no staff guiding guests at the main entrance upon arrival, I took a luggage trolley myself and loaded our bags. The check-in process went smoothly, and the front desk kindly arranged for a well-dressed gentleman in a suit to assist us with the trolley, for which I was very appreciative.
What followed, however, was rather unexpected. We were using the Club Lounge elevator, and after I swiped my card to open the door, I worried the luggage was heavy. Wanting to be helpful, I smiled and held the automatic door open to make it easier for him to pass through. To my surprise, he responded with a look of clear displeasure and waved me away. I was momentarily confused and began wondering if I had done something wrong—when he suddenly shouted, “Go!”
I was genuinely startled. I turned around and hurried away out of fear. Even now, I still cannot understand what I did to provoke such a reaction. Over the following days, I encountered this gentleman again, and to be honest, I felt quite intimidated. I barely dared to look up when passing him, and it was obvious that he had no desire to see me either.
I truly have no idea how I managed to offend him so deeply. It was a strange and unsettling experience.
I rarely write such detailed reviews, but this time I felt compelled to share this unusual experience. I did not even have the courage to note down his name, fearing he might shout at me again.
