In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
We open the Sapporo list with a hotel that solves the single biggest headache of travelling in Japan — the tiny room — and Randor Hotel Sapporo Suites is the answer, because the word Suites in the name means rooms that are genuinely large. The best thing about them is the sense of space: a proper sitting corner, room to leave your bags open, and no squeezing past each other the way you do in a standard Japanese hotel. That makes it a strong pick for families with kids, or anyone planning several nights here as a Hokkaido base. The rooms are clean and well kept too, which is exactly why this place scores a standout 9.1 for rooms and 9.2 for room size. The decor is straightforward and comfort-first rather than luxurious — you're here to stretch out, not to admire the furnishings.
Food and amenities
This runs more like an apartment-hotel than a full-service hotel, so the amenities are practical rather than indulgent: free Wi-Fi, a washing machine that earns its keep on a longer stay, luggage storage, a drink vending machine, and non-smoking rooms. Don't come expecting a concierge desk or a big breakfast spread — but with Susukino's eating district a short walk away, you won't be short of dinner options.
Location and getting there
The hotel sits in central Sapporo, an easy walk from both Odori Park (about 600m) and the Susukino district with its shops and famous ramen alley. Susukino Station is roughly 700m away — about a 9-minute walk — and Sapporo JR Station is 1.6km (around 20 minutes) for onward trains. In the evening you can head out for something hot to eat and stroll straight back to your room, and the rest of the city's sights are simple to reach.
Things to know before booking
A few honest caveats. The design is comfort-and-function over style, so it won't wow you on looks. Service is apartment-hotel style rather than full-service, which means fewer front-of-house extras. And the building itself is plain — nothing flashy from the street. None of that is a dealbreaker if what you're after is space and a central location.
Our take
Randor Hotel Sapporo Suites is at its best for families and couples who put a premium on space and comfort on a Hokkaido trip. We recommend it without hesitation — if you've ever checked into a Japanese hotel and felt the room was squeezing in on you, this is the place that fixes that feeling.
