Affordable Stay at Sapporo Snow Festival

Experience of the stay
Having come to Hokkaido for the Sapporo Snow Festival, all the hotels in the city were at festival prices (around 60,000 yen per night was standard).
I was able to book this hotel at a discount through Hafh!
It was a 5-minute walk from Susukino Station, which felt a bit far for someone not used to snowy roads, but it became closer once I got accustomed.
The hotel was compactly designed, and while some might find the space cramped, I was satisfied as I was just there to sleep.
The guest room had large windows that, while not offering a great view, made for a bright and pleasant room.
A feature of this hotel is the large public bath on the basement floor! It has a large bathtub and sauna.
The sauna even had a TV, so I could enjoy a relaxing sauna experience.
Experiences during the trip
This hotel, located in Susukino, offered Genghis Khan for dinner at 'Ezo-ya'.
Furthermore, it’s only a 2-minute walk to the Susukino venue (ice sculptures) and just one train stop to the main venue!
(The main venue is about 1km long, so it's close to a station...)
Watching the ice sculptures being destroyed on the last day of the festival is also an interesting experience. How about enjoying the unique aspects of a hotel within walking distance?
Even during periods without the snow festival, I'm satisfied with the location in the city center, which remains unchanged.
