HOTEL MYSTAYS Sapporo Aspen ホテルマイステイズ札幌アスペン MYSTAYS札幌Aspen酒店

Hotel MyStays Sapporo Aspen is a convenient, access-focused hotel located about a 2-minute walk from JR Sapporo Station’s North Exit and within walking distance of Sapporo Subway Station. The address is Kita 8-jo Nishi 4-chome in Sapporo’s Kita Ward, close to the famous poplar avenue on the Hokkaido University campus. Although it is very close to the station, the surrounding area feels relatively calm, and guests can easily walk to the JR Tower, bus terminal, and the many shopping facilities around Sapporo Station, making it a practical base for exploring Hokkaido.

Stepping inside, you are welcomed by a lobby designed around an “Early American” concept, with light brown tones and warm wooden accents. The space has a comfortable ceiling height, feels bright and clean, and strikes a balance between the efficiency of a business hotel and the relaxed atmosphere of a city hotel. It’s a lobby where you can comfortably wait to check in, meet up with friends or colleagues, or take a short break.

The hotel has 305 guest rooms, with a wide range of types including Single, Double, Twin, Triple, Four-bed “Quartet” rooms, and Deluxe categories. From compact rooms designed for solo travelers and business guests to larger rooms with three or four beds for families and groups, the lineup makes it easy to choose a room that matches your party size and travel style. Standard Twin rooms are around 25 m², while some Triple and Quartet rooms are 29 m² or more, offering enough space even when traveling with larger luggage.

All rooms are equipped with free Wi-Fi and wired internet access, along with individual air conditioning, an empty refrigerator, electric kettle, tea set, flat-screen TV, and toilet with bidet function. Humidifiers and air purifiers are installed in all or selected rooms, and items such as trouser presses, irons, and desk lamps are available to borrow. Amenities include shampoo, conditioner, body soap, hand and face soap, toothbrushes, razors, hairbrushes, towels, pajamas, and slippers—covering the essentials for both business and leisure stays.

Breakfast is a highlight of the hotel and is served as a Japanese–Western buffet at the second-floor restaurant “Aspen.” A wide variety of dishes feature ingredients from Hokkaido, such as grilled fish, jingisukan (Hokkaido-style lamb), salmon “chanchan-yaki,” dishes made with local potatoes, and Hokkaido’s signature “ramen salad.” On some days, the seafood corner is particularly well-stocked, offering salmon roe, salmon, sweet shrimp, tuna, and more so you can build your own seafood bowl over rice or rolled in seaweed. Special items like venison curry, egg over rice with local eggs, desserts, and soft-serve ice cream round out a generous spread that is especially appealing to guests who like a hearty breakfast.

In addition to the restaurant, the hotel offers banquet and meeting rooms, a shop, coffee corner, vending machines, and an internet corner. The ground-floor shop sells drinks and snacks as well as Hokkaido-themed souvenirs, making it convenient to pick up small gifts or something to enjoy in your room. For corporate use, the banquet and meeting spaces can host conferences, seminars, and social gatherings, allowing companies to combine accommodation with on-site events.

A coin-operated laundry room on the 5th floor is particularly handy for longer stays or back-to-back trips. It is open 24 hours and equipped with three washing machines and three dryers. Detergent is either automatically dispensed or available for purchase, and payment is typically by coins with some machines also supporting cashless payment. Some floors are fitted with vending machines, ice machines, and microwaves, making it easy to heat up convenience store meals or takeout to enjoy in your room.

The hotel provides around 50 paid parking spaces in a mix of outdoor and indoor lots, available on a first-come, first-served basis. There are height restrictions and set operating hours, and large vehicles such as buses and trucks are not accepted. Because capacity is limited, the parking lot can fill up during peak holiday periods, so guests driving to the hotel are advised to check the latest details and rates on the official website or booking sites in advance.

Service-wise, the hotel offers a 24-hour front desk, luggage storage, laundry and dry cleaning services, in-room massage arrangements, and parcel shipping assistance—covering the typical functions of an urban hotel. There is a barrier-free restroom on the lobby floor, and elevators provide access to all guest floors. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the building, making it easy to work remotely, join online meetings, or search for sightseeing information. Standard check-in is from 3:00 p.m. and check-out is at 11:00 a.m.; combined with luggage storage before and after your stay, this makes Hotel MyStays Sapporo Aspen a convenient base for efficiently planning sightseeing in Sapporo and short trips to surrounding areas.
