The hotel's proximity to the vibrant Tanukikoji Shopping Street and Hokkaido University Botanical Gardens made it incredibly convenient for exploring Sapporo on foot, reinforcing a delightful urban experience.

Unfortunately, the shared showers were not well-maintained, leading to cleanliness issues that detracted from the overall comfort of my stay.

The unique capsule experience was cozy, but the shared showers really needed cleaning.

theatel is right in the heart of the city, close to odori park and just a few minutes walk from the subway and tram. the staff were incredibly polite and even helped me find an english-speaking doctor when I needed one. I really liked the cozy and safe atmosphere, making it a perfect spot to unwind after a long day.

do recommend

I stayed for 4 nights in the Smart Capsule, Female Only, and it exceeded my expectations. The capsule was super comfy, and it was never crowded, so using the bathrooms was a breeze. The location was fantastic for barhopping and local attractions like Odori Park. Plus, the unique capsule experience was surprisingly cozy! 😊

I stayed for 4 nights in the Smart Capsule, Female Only while exploring the Sapporo area. The location is great for barhopping in Susukino and enjoying the local attractions like Odori Park and Tanukikoji Shopping Street. What I liked most was the unique capsule experience, and I was pleasantly surprised by the comfort of the bed. Plus, it was never crowded, which made using the bathrooms a breeze.

Conveniently located near popular shopping spots.

My stay at Theatel Sapporo Hotel was frustrating. The shared showers were not only dirty, but parts were indeed broken. I was also disappointed by the lack of proper light-blocking curtains. the hallway light kept me awake at night, and it made the overall experience uncomfortable.

The Smart Capsule, Male/Female Mixed room exceeded my expectations for a capsule hotel. The bed was the most comfortable I've encountered in Japan, perfect for a solo traveler like me. Despite the limited space typical of capsule hotels, the overall design allowed for easy movement. I appreciated the thoughtful touch from the receptionist, who provided a bathroom access password for the female side, enhancing my comfort. Located smack in the heart of Susukino, I had tons of nearby food options and nightlife. However, the common area had issues. I was disappointed when I found out that it wasn't available for use during my stay because it was reserved for a private event. This limited my ability to socialize or relax outside my capsule. Also, the shared bathrooms could use a bit more attention to cleanliness. Still, the overall experience was pleasant, especially considering the central location and reasonable pricing.

as if that wasn’t enough, i was very disappointed by the cleanliness—dust from the pipes was literally raining down. expect a welcome gift or at least something special for my stay? nope, nothing of the sort. just sad!

It was just a good pick for a brief pause in Sapporo with definitely value for money. The unique capsule experience was surprisingly comfortable, allowing me to rest well after a long day. Make sure to check for laundry services early as the instructions can be a bit unclear.

Can't recommend highly enough for a couple of nights

Safe space, friendly staff. the public area is perfect for relaxing and the clean bathroom provides a comfortable experience.

Nothing I didn't like.

great access to parks and city attractions nearby

The hotel is just a few steps from the vibrant Tanukikoji Shopping Street and less than a 10-minute walk to the beautiful Hokkaido University Botanical Gardens, making it perfect for anyone who loves to explore on foot like me. the cozy atmosphere and friendly staff made my stay even better, as it felt like a welcoming home base after a day of city strolling.
