The Base Sapporo Susukino ザ ベイス 札幌すすきの 札幌基地薄野飯店

THE BASE SAPPORO SUSUKINO is a small apartment-style hotel with just nine rooms, located in Minami 6-jo Nishi 8-chome in central Sapporo. Each room can accommodate up to six guests, making it ideal for families and groups. The hotel is about a 6-minute walk from Susukino Station (Namboku Line) and only a few minutes from the “Higashi-Honganji Mae” and “Shiseikan Shogakko Mae” streetcar stops. Situated on the western side of the Susukino district, the area offers a quieter atmosphere while still being within walking distance of Tanukikoji Shopping Street and Odori Park.

The property is designed around the idea of “living like a local.” Every room includes a full kitchen and in-room laundry facilities—complete with detergent, refrigerator, microwave, electric kettle, cookware, and tableware. The bathroom is equipped with a drying function, allowing guests to wash and dry clothes inside the unit, which is especially convenient for long stays or travelers who prefer to pack light.

Rooms follow a simple structure based on a “one-room-for-up-to-six-guests” layout. Most are around 35 square meters and feature two bunk beds, a sofa, a low table, and closet space. The layout provides enough room for groups or families to spread out comfortably. All rooms are non-smoking and offer free Wi-Fi, individual air-conditioning, and, in many cases, a balcony with views of the surrounding city.

The bathrooms include a bathtub, and some rooms feature a separated bath and shower area. Toilets are equipped with bidet functions. Standard amenities include shampoo, conditioner, body soap, hand soap, towels, slippers, and more—similar to what you would expect from a typical business hotel. Each room has its own washing machine with complimentary detergent, eliminating the need to visit a shared laundry space.

Check-in is handled through a self-service kiosk near the entrance, with staff available to assist as needed. Check-in generally begins around 15:00, and check-out is at 10:00. While front desk hours are limited, detailed instructions are provided via email and in-room guides, ensuring even first-time guests can navigate the process easily.

The hotel does not have public baths, restaurants, or large communal spaces, but instead focuses on well-equipped guest rooms. Kitchens are fitted with IH stoves, sinks, refrigerators, microwaves, pans, pots, knives, cutting boards, and full sets of dishes and cutlery—making simple in-room cooking easy. Numerous convenience stores and restaurants are also just a short walk away, giving guests flexibility between cooking and dining out.

This property is particularly suitable for family trips, group travel, sports teams, and university clubs—any situation where multiple people prefer to stay together in one room. Few hotels in central Sapporo offer rooms for up to six guests, which also helps keep per-person costs down. The in-room laundry and drying systems make it convenient for road trips around Hokkaido, long-term stays, and travelers who want to move around with minimal luggage.

In terms of access, the hotel is a short walk from Susukino Station and nearby streetcar stops, with major areas such as Susukino Crossing, Tanukikoji Shopping Street, and Odori Park reachable within minutes. Guests can easily enjoy Susukino’s nightlife in the evening and explore the city or travel farther afield during the day. There is no on-site parking, so guests arriving by car will need to use nearby coin-operated parking lots.

Overall, THE BASE SAPPORO SUSUKINO is a compact apartment hotel offering “live-in comfort” with features such as walkable access to Susukino, rooms for up to six guests, full kitchens, in-room laundry with drying systems, and simple self-check-in. It is an excellent choice for groups, families, or travelers who prioritize independence and convenience over full hotel services during their stay in Sapporo.
