Jozankei Holidays from AU$3,936

The Stay: The HOTEL LiVEMAX Sapporo can be found a few minutes walk from the Nakajima-Koen Station. You can take the Namboku Line directly from Sapporo Station. The room I was given was on the upper floor, but the view is not that great. The room itself seemed to be a on the older side, but it was kept well and clean. It was decent sized since it was doubled bed (but your mileage may vary depending how much luggage you have). It has most if not all the essential amenities, and it is the typical business setting for people to sleep for the night. The room seem pretty clean at first glance, but I did caught some tiny bugs crawling (could just be environment). Still a decent budget place to stay if you want your own place. The Miscellaneous: The hotel is located at a good location for traveling around. There are also convenient stores located right around the corner if you need anything. The nearby park is also a nice place for walks. The staff were sincere with no issue. Not sure what the room cleaning procedures are, but does not seem like standard hotel where they help clean daily (maybe I am missing something?). But this is still a decent hotel at a decent location if you are looking for something on a budget.

Location is pretty close to shopping, jr station, food, and some historic attractions. not too close where it's noisy and crowded. staff very helpful and understand enough english. tv can show you how crowded the public bath is which i find pretty neat.

One day was enough. The bath was not that clean and the food was the same items served over and over for dinner and breakfast.

Description of accommodation was not same as the actual accommodation. Garbage/trash was not collected by the hotel staff. There was no explanation that I had to put it out. During 6 day stay, there was not once room was cleaned or towels were changed. Was I supposed to request for the service? The location was rather far from subway station and nearest grocery store was rather far. For travelers who do not have a car and have a problem with walking, it was tough. The staff was very helpful when I contacted for some assistance.

The room is clean, spacious, very modern, comfy bed. Only 5-8min walk to the train station, very convenient. Breakfast was one of the best we had in Japan, highly recommend this hotel. Only downside, no gym facilities.
