APA Hotel Sapporo Hosui Susukino Ekimae アパホテル〈札幌豊水すすきの駅前〉 札幌豐水薄野車站前 APA 飯店

APA Hotel Sapporo Hosui-Susukino-Ekimae is a compact 54-room business hotel located in Minami 6-jo Nishi 1-chome in central Sapporo. The hotel is fully non-smoking and sits just a one-minute walk from Exit 6 of Hosui-Susukino Station on the Toho Subway Line, with Susukino Station on the Namboku Line also within easy walking distance. The heart of the Susukino entertainment district is about five minutes away on foot, and the hotel’s position along a main road makes it easy to find even at night.

Guestrooms are designed primarily for one to two guests, with singles, semi-doubles, and doubles forming the core lineup. While compact—typical for business hotels in Sapporo—the rooms maximize comfort by featuring larger beds, functional lighting, well-placed outlets, and streamlined layouts. Each room includes APA’s original mattress and pillow, along with high-quality blackout curtains, creating a sleep-focused environment despite the limited floor space.

Most rooms are equipped with unit bathrooms, though a limited number feature a separate bath and toilet. Bathrooms include shampoo, conditioner, body soap, and other essentials. There is no large public bath on-site, so bathing is done inside the guestroom. Basic amenities such as towels, nightwear, and toothbrush sets are provided, and additional items can be borrowed from the front desk as needed.

Facilities include a breakfast room, coin laundry, vending machines, and a microwave for simple reheating. These practical amenities make the hotel suitable for longer stays or business trips that require day-to-day convenience. A self-service check-in kiosk is installed in the lobby, allowing for smooth, contactless check-in and check-out. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property, supporting laptop use and online meetings for business travelers.

Check-in begins at 3:00 p.m. and check-out is at 10:00 a.m. The hotel is about a 10-minute drive from JR Sapporo Station, or a quick ride on the Toho Line from Sapporo Station to Hosui-Susukino Station. From New Chitose Airport, travelers typically take the Rapid Airport train to Sapporo Station and transfer to the subway, though airport buses also serve the Susukino area. During the Sapporo Snow Festival, both the Odori and Susukino venues are accessible on foot or within one subway stop, making the hotel convenient for event-focused trips.

The neighborhood offers excellent convenience, with numerous convenience stores, restaurants, and drugstores close by. Major attractions—Odori Park, the Sapporo TV Tower, Nijo Market, and Nakajima Park—are all within walking distance or a short subway ride. Guests can enjoy Susukino’s nightlife and return to the hotel on foot, while still benefiting from the safer and quieter environment of a main-road location.

The hotel does not have its own parking facilities, nor does it partner with nearby lots. Guests arriving by car must use time-based coin parking in the area. As parking can become crowded on weekends or during major events, it is advisable to check nearby options in advance using a map app. Fees and operating hours vary by lot, so the latest information should be confirmed on-site or through official guidance.

APA Hotel Sapporo Hosui-Susukino-Ekimae is a simple, function-driven business hotel that emphasizes proximity to the station and essential in-room amenities. While room size and the building’s age receive mixed reviews, many guests appreciate the excellent location, helpful staff, and overall value for money. It is best suited for travelers who prioritize easy mobility—whether for business trips or short, practical stays near Susukino—and who prefer a clean, efficient base with all the necessities.
