Sapporo Grand Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"I liked this hotel - good location but about a 10 minute walk from the station (not realising at first that you can do the whole journey on foot all underground - much easier with suitcases). I did have an Executive room though and I really enjoyed the club lounge."
