Best Western Sapporo Odori Koen

The breakfast was excellent with many Japanese traditional foods (including soup curry) and great service by the staff. The location is nice opposite the park. It is a short walk south for some restaurants or north to the station and stores for shopping.

I expected the room to be much better for the price. It was a Deluxe Double which I booked as the only doubles available were all smoking rooms. The deluxe was not much bigger than other doubles we had stayed at in Japan at far cheaper rates, so the value was very poor. We were also asked at check in if we wanted to pay to check in 20 minutes earlier than the standard 3pm check in as we weren't Best Western members. No we didn't want to pay for the pleasure, so we just sat in the lobby for the 20 mins and then received our door cards. I don't call that helpful or welcoming service when the room was most likely already prepared.

It is conveniently located where guests could enjoy walks and explore the beautiful Odori Park near by. The Tanukikoji Shopping Arcade and Mega Don Quijote (Don Don Donki) Store is also within walking distance.

Does not arrange for airport transfer. Had to walk to another hotel to take the Airport Limousine Bus to the airport.
