41PIECES Sapporo 41PIECES Sapporo 札幌41皮西斯飯店

41PIECES Sapporo is an extended-stay style hotel located in Minami 2-jo Nishi 5-chome in central Sapporo, about a six-minute walk from Exit 1 of Odori Subway Station and just a few minutes on foot from the “Nishi 4-chome” and “Tanukikoji” streetcar stops. Odori Park, the Sapporo TV Tower, the Sapporo Clock Tower, the Tanukikoji Shopping Street, and the Susukino area are all within walking distance, making it an ideal base for combining sightseeing, strolling around town, and enjoying local food.

Opened in August 2021, the hotel’s concept is “an extended-stay hotel six minutes on foot from Odori Station.” All 41 rooms are at least 33㎡ in size, with a focus on creating a space where guests can spend quality time with the people they care about. A variety of in-room rental items are available, encouraging guests not only to go out sightseeing but also to build their trip around relaxing and spending time together in the room.

Rooms are divided into seven types, including studio-style “STUDIO,” loft-bed “LOFT,” and the top-floor “PENTHOUSE.” STUDIO rooms are open-plan spaces of 33㎡ or more, designed for couples or small groups, with beds, a sofa, and a dining area all laid out in a single, spacious room. LOFT rooms feature loft beds or bunk beds, and some can accommodate up to six guests, making them easy to use for families with children or groups of friends traveling together.

The top-floor penthouse suite is a single, approximately 80㎡ unit with two bedrooms, a generous living–dining area, kitchen, and terrace. Guests can gather around the dining table for meals, or enjoy views over the city of Sapporo from the terrace, making it well suited to longer stays for groups. Each bedroom has a double bed, and there are two bathrooms, so even with multiple guests, there is plenty of space and flexibility.

All rooms are equipped with free Wi-Fi, individual air-conditioning, flat-screen TV, electric kettle, refrigerator, and in-room safe. Bathrooms include a washlet toilet, bathtub or shower booth, and washbasin. The TVs support streaming services, allowing guests to log in with their own accounts to watch their favorite content. Bathrooms are equipped with bidet toilets and complimentary bath amenities, and all rooms come with towels and linens.

Amenities include shampoo, conditioner, body wash, facial soap, toothbrush sets, razors, shower caps, hairbrushes, slippers, and pajamas. Room equipment such as humidifiers, hairdryers, and desk lamps (in some rooms) is provided, and irons are available on loan. Selected rooms also offer a mini kitchen and microwave for guests who wish to cook. For families with small children, items such as kids’ slippers, dishes, and baby soap are available to borrow by request at the front desk.

One of the hotel’s major features is its range of in-room rental items designed to enhance time spent in the room. Guests staying in kitchen-equipped rooms can borrow cooking utensils and tableware to prepare simple meals or homemade breakfasts. Board games and children’s items are also available, allowing guests to choose items that suit their preferred style of stay. Rental items are offered on a first-come, first-served basis rather than by advance reservation, and guests simply tell staff what they would like after check-in. In line with the concepts of “shared journeys” and “memorable trips,” the hotel is clearly designed around the idea of spending meaningful time together in the room.

There is no on-site restaurant or dedicated breakfast venue, and the hotel does not provide breakfast or room service. Instead, guests are encouraged to combine use of the in-room kitchen with nearby supermarkets, markets, and restaurants. This setup works well for those who enjoy self-catering or prefer to bring takeout back and eat at a relaxed pace in their room. The front desk provides recommendations for local eateries and supermarkets, making it easy to mix dining out with meals in the room.

On the operational side, check-in is from 4:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., and check-out is at 11:00 a.m. The property uses a contactless key system: instead of a traditional room key, guests enter an ID code on a touch panel to access their room, using the code provided at check-in. Luggage storage is available at the front desk from 8:00 a.m. on the day of check-in, and bags can also be stored until 11:00 p.m. on the day of check-out (excluding valuables and items requiring refrigeration or freezing). Advance delivery of luggage by courier can be accepted under certain conditions with prior notice.

From an environmental perspective, housekeeping is focused on light cleaning and is generally provided on request for stays of three nights or longer. Fresh towels, pajamas, and other linens are stocked near the first-floor elevator, allowing guests to pick up replacements themselves as needed. This system helps maintain comfort while reducing the frequency of staff entering the room. There is no on-site laundry room; for longer stays, guests can ask the front desk for information on nearby coin laundries.

The hotel does not have its own parking lot. Guests arriving by car are expected to use nearby coin-operated parking facilities. The official website’s FAQ section provides links and information on nearby coin parking, and clearly states that there are no discount services or partnerships available. As rates and conditions can change, guests are advised to check the latest information on signs at each parking lot or via the links provided on the official website.

Overall, 41PIECES Sapporo is well suited to travelers who “want to stay near Odori and Tanukikoji, with spacious rooms where they can really enjoy time in the room,” or “prefer to gather in a single room with family or friends to cook, play games, and relax together.” With all rooms at 33㎡ or more, options that sleep up to six guests, kitchen-equipped rooms and rental items, the freedom to choose your own meal style instead of relying on hotel breakfast, and a walkable location from Odori Station, the hotel offers a “stay-focused” experience that feels distinct from a typical business hotel.
