Hotel Bougainvillea Sapporo ホテルブーゲンビリア札幌 伯根札幌酒店

Hotel Bougainvillea Sapporo is a business hotel located inside the Tanukikoji 7-chome shopping arcade in South 2 West 7, Chuo Ward, Sapporo. It is about a 10-minute walk from both Odori Station (Exit 1) and Susukino Station (Exit 2), and around 7 minutes on foot from the Tanukikoji 4-chome exit of the underground shopping mall Pole Town. The hotel sits between Odori Park and the Susukino entertainment district, making it easy to walk between the two areas. Thanks to its location within the covered arcade, guests can move around with minimal exposure to snow or rain—one of the hotel’s key advantages.

The hotel has a compact scale with 51 guestrooms in total, mainly Single and Twin rooms. Single rooms are approximately 12–13 m² and feature a semi-double bed (122 cm x 195 cm), suitable for one guest and usable for two if needed. Twin rooms are about 17–18 m² and come with two 95 cm-wide single beds, accommodating one to three guests. All rooms are equipped with unit baths and are designed for travelers who simply need a comfortable, practical place to sleep—whether for business trips, solo journeys, or visits with friends.

Standard in-room facilities include a bath with toilet featuring a warm-water bidet, television, empty refrigerator, electric kettle, and tea cups with tea bags. Amenities such as bath towels, face towels, bath mats, shampoo, conditioner, body soap, foam soap, hair dryer, and deodorizing spray are provided. Items like toothbrush sets, razors, hairbrushes, cotton swabs, and gowns are available for guests to pick up as needed from the lobby on the second floor. This “take only what you need” system is part of the hotel’s effort to reduce waste and support eco-friendly operations.

All rooms offer free Wi-Fi. As the network is provided via wireless LAN, there may be peak times when connections are slower, but the hotel indicates that the environment is sufficient for typical use such as business tasks, web browsing, and video streaming. Heating and cooling are managed centrally for the entire building—air conditioning in summer and heating in winter—with guests able to adjust only the fan strength in their rooms. Because individual temperature mode changes are not possible, guests may borrow extra blankets from the front desk, depending on the season, to fine-tune their comfort.

The front desk and lobby are located on the second floor and provide a calm space to welcome guests. Complimentary hot coffee is available in the lobby, which is convenient for a short break after check-in or before heading out. Within the hotel, vending machines are installed on the first, second, and fifth floors. Additional services include laundry (dry cleaning), parcel delivery handling, and complimentary ice. There is no coin-operated laundry on-site, but long-stay and business guests can still arrange cleaning via the front desk.

On the first floor, the popular café tenant “Natural Food Dining LOHAS” serves natural and raw food dishes, offering a handy option for guests seeking healthy meals. Details such as opening hours and menu items are provided on the café’s own official channels, but having a café directly below the hotel is especially reassuring on snowy winter days or in bad weather. Some accommodation plans include a simple breakfast consisting mainly of bread, soup, and juice; guest reviews often describe it as a light meal suited to those who prefer a quick start rather than a large breakfast.

Standard check-in is from 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., and check-out is at 10:00 a.m. Guests expecting to arrive significantly later than their planned check-in time, especially after midnight, are asked to contact the hotel in advance; otherwise, reservations may be treated as cancelled. Payment is made in advance at check-in, and major credit cards such as JCB, VISA, Mastercard, American Express, and Diners Club are accepted. The hotel is able to issue invoices that comply with Japan’s qualified invoice (invoice) system, making it a practical choice for business travelers.

The surrounding area is one of the liveliest sections of the Tanukikoji arcade, with numerous restaurants, variety stores, game centers, and live music venues, and there is foot traffic until late at night. Within walking distance are Odori Park, the Sapporo Clock Tower, the TV Tower, the Susukino intersection, and the Norbesa Ferris wheel—many of the city center’s main attractions are close at hand. Reviews often mention how convenient the location is, especially for guests attending concerts or events at nearby venues.

The hotel does not have its own parking facilities. Instead, guests are directed to nearby paid parking lots, including partner car parks. The official website provides a dedicated page listing nearby options, and guests arriving by car are encouraged to check that information beforehand. Each car park has its own fees, operating hours, and vehicle size restrictions, and these may change over time, so it is advisable to confirm the latest details via on-site notices, map apps, or official information.

Overall, Hotel Bougainvillea Sapporo is a practical, no-frills business hotel well suited to guests who want to stay around Odori, Susukino, and Tanukikoji, prioritize budget, and still have access to essential facilities. Its location inside the covered arcade, free Wi-Fi, welcome coffee, lobby amenity pickup system, and the abundance of restaurants and shops nearby all support a stay focused more on convenience and cost performance than on luxury, making it a solid option for value-conscious travelers.
