HOTEL ABEST SAPPORO

The rooms are a bit dated, but the breakfast is simply fantastic. While the seafood like salmon roe and tuna tend to grab your eye, the variety of other dishes is also impressive. The juicy fried chicken, hearty miso soup, and fluffy, freshly baked French toast are all carefully prepared and seasoned, leaving a great impression. It's better value than the nearby hotel with the traditional arabesque pattern, and I highly recommend it. The attentive service from the front desk and staff is also a big plus. P.S.) The bed is quite spongy, so those prone to back pain from soft beds should be aware. Unless this is improved, I'm afraid I won't be able to return. 😓

I chose this hotel specifically for the tuna tasting and crab tower at dinner. The dinner had fewer dishes than I expected, and perhaps because there weren't many other guests, the dishes were all presented compactly. It was a bit of a surprise, as I had imagined it would be more like the photos of the hotel's food. However, the crab and sashimi, which were my main objectives, were exactly as pictured and tasted great; I was very satisfied. One thing that bothered me about dinner was that there were no plates or anything near the fruit, dessert, and prosciutto; I had to go to the center to get them. It would be helpful if the layout were a little more thoughtful. Breakfast, however, was satisfactory in terms of both layout and variety. The hotel was a bit old, but it was very clean, and all the staff were very helpful, so I would like to stay there again if I have the opportunity.

The hotel is run-down, but the breakfast is well worth it. The fruit is delicious, and there are so many options besides seafood that I can't eat it all. What's even better is that they give you a paper cup to take away when the food is served. It's a thoughtful touch to be able to fill it with coffee and head out into town. I'll go with my family next time.

I had a single room. The facilities felt a bit dated, but it was very clean, which was nice. I was worried because the air conditioner didn't have temperature control, but the temperature was just right on the day I stayed, so it didn't bother me. One of the reasons I chose this hotel was because it had a dinner buffet, and it's rare to find a hotel with a dinner buffet in the city center, so I chose this hotel. It's close to Susukino, so I'm sure there are many delicious izakayas nearby, but the dinner buffet was just as good. One of the reasons it was so good was the crab tower. It was wonderful to be able to eat all of Hokkaido's representative crabs: hairy crab, snow crab, king crab legs, and Hanasaki crab. I didn't have high expectations because there were fewer than 10 people eating at the dinner buffet, so I thought that if the crab ran out, it wouldn't be replenished for a long time, but it was replenished as soon as it ran low, and it was always kept in the state shown in the picture, which I thought was wonderful. There was also sashimi, including fatty tuna and otoro, the soup curry was flavorful, and the miso ramen was the type you make yourself, which was fun. The soft-serve ice cream was also delicious. However, when we were shown to our seats at the dinner buffet, there were only a few people eating and plenty of empty tables, yet we were seated next to a couple eating, which was awkward. Perhaps there were designated single seats and the single seat next to the couple's table was empty, which is why we were seated there, but it felt awkward having to be considerate of the people next to us. I wish they had been more thoughtful, especially since there were plenty of empty seats. It was disappointing. On the other hand, the breakfast was also great; we made our own salmon roe and seafood bowls, the milk was delicious, and we drank Katsugen (a type of yogurt drink), which was very satisfying. We were completely full after both dinner and breakfast. The dinner buffet had both meat and fish, and I felt we could enjoy ourselves without having to go to an izakaya (Japanese pub). I would definitely like to stay there again if I have the opportunity.

This was my first time staying at Hotel Avast. The service was excellent, as expected! ☺️ I was so happy to receive a beer as a welcome drink and some chocolates! ♥️ The room was very nice. Come to think of it, I remember having a buffet there with friends quite a while ago and it was delicious! 😍 I'll definitely stay here again! 💕 Thank you so much!
