I stayed in this hotel for 1 week in the middle of October 2012. The hotel is very basic, and ok for a short visit but it is far from 4 or 5 stars. There are few facilities, it does have a small gym and a small bar and restaurant but this is all fairly dated, as is the rest... More

The first thing you notice arrived to this hotel its a bit old, but first impresion is not true. Its stylish old fashined and pretty good enought to spend here night or two. Its a great historical place to start explore the city. Brilliant location, delicious food, friendly and smiling staff. The price is really really good. Just 20min drive... More

The hotel looks quite run down from the outside and the interior looks tired (not surprising as it is of the Soviet era). My room was a reasonable size and reasonably furnished. Noise insulation was poor and I was kept awake by road noise plus a lot of commotion (doors slamming, footsteps, plumbing systems) in the hotel every night. Earplugs... More

We would stay at the sapporo either on route back to OPF (Lunskoy) 2008 or a short stop over before flying home. I always found the staff to be extremely helpful. The front desk staff always had a smile and always willing to help. If you know a few russian phrases it helps break the ice. I cannot say a... More

I found very little wrong with this hotel. Having read previous reviews I was not expecting the quality and service that I received. The monolithic exterior of Sakhalin Sapporo hides a well decorated and well maintained interior. My room was large, nicely furnished and with a good, clean bathroom. Several English language TV channels were available. Internet access is available... More

Plus - Very close to commercial town centre, railway station, civic amenities, restaurants & banks. Negative - Bit old style, Still in soviet mind state, People know little english, no much food choice (vegetarian) at its restaurant, Very old electric system (frequent power cuts, no proper heating).

I first stayed in this place back in 2004, when I made a mental note to avoid staying here again. So it was with reluctance that I found myself returning four years later after my usual hotel (the Mega Palace (not currently listed in TripAdvisor)) was fully booked up. I have to say though that my latest stay was not... More

It was a bit shocking to see the building as I arrived at the place but it was alright as I walked in. Staff dont speak English. Luckily the receptionists speak a bit of 'Russian English'. Staff were not friendly and not very helpful with finding my way around. The restaurant is good, breakfast menu changes everyday. Good selection on... More
