JR Tower Hotel Nikko Sapporo

Unbeatable location, and well appointed rooms. Not expansive, but this is to be expected in the heart of a major city and right at the station. Amazing view of the train tracks from my room. The standout was the level of service from the front desk, lobby, and lounge staff. Some of the best I have ever experienced! The buffet breakfast was also excellent, with a wide variety. Highlights were the Hokkaido cheeses and honey, as well as the salmon roe (ikura) The onsen was also a nice experience, especially in the morning when only hotel guests are allowed

The check-in service was impeccable. Staff were ready to bring our luggage to our rooms (without a tip. This is Japan), staff at every corner were ready to greet you or hold the door for you. The daily cleaning was perfect too. I would like to point out the Japanese attention to details which never fail to amaze me. The room cleaning team actually tidied up my charging cables with a clip. The view and location are amazing too. In cold weather, we can actually avoid the cold when going for dinner.

Excellent hotel centrally located in Sapporo and right next door to a giant mall with various food options as well as JR Sapporo station. The rooms are uniquely Japanese with a 80s vibe - perfectly clean and comfortable. The one improvement that would be a huge plus is more vegetarian options in the restaurants. Sapporo is still a little behind the times compared to Tokyo or Kyoto in this regard. The staff is friendly and super helpful.
