This hotel is less than 5 minutes away from the station. You can see the hotel from the station entrance so you cannot miss it and go the wrong way. The reception is on Level 2 which is also the lobby ,there are 2 ways of getting there, either walk up the stairs or take the lift up which is easier especially if you have luggage. The check in process was quick and the staff explained that we had a free voucher for a welcome drink at the restaurant. The staff also advised that there was a small laundry on Level 3 if need to do any washing. We then went to our room and found it to be quite roomy and bigger than the usual rooms which was a surprise. The bathroom was big also so could move around easily. The room was comfortable and also had nice view of the distant mountains. The laundry on Level 3 consisted of two washing machines which could wash and dry. It cost 500 yen for 5kg wash and 400 yen for a 1kg wash and 100 yen to just dry. You had to make sure no one else was using the machines before you wanted to wash yourself. After settling in we went down to the restaurant to have our complimentary drinks. The staff member gave you a menu which told you which drinks were complimentary and then could order them. We chose the cappuccino and it was hot and creamy and it was very enjoyable. There were quite a few restaurants within walking distance from the hotel so we're spoilt for choice and decide what you wanted. There was also a kitanoyatai just 5 minute walk from the hotel. This hotel did not have complimentary breakfast so you need to go out to find a cafe. All staff that I came in contact were friendly and went out of their way to help the best way they could. If I had a chance would return to this hotel and stay longer instead of two days as enjoyed this hotel quite much .

“Perfectly for a short stay”

We started our Sapporo trip from Obihiro, a small city in Hokkaido. We stayed in Richmond Hotel for the first night (06July19). The hotel is perfectly located nearby the train station and surrounded by restaurants which are only one or two blocks away. The hotel is a 10 storey building with only one small restaurant serving fusion Italian and Japanese foods. The room we stayed was spacious and clean, newly renovated and quite a comfortable place to stay. The lobby which located in 2nd floor is small and with self-checkout kiosks which speeding up the process a lot. Service at the front desk was good and efficient. Not many choices of food for breakfast but both the quality and tastes were good.

“Decent hotel for the price”

Came on a business trip and it was perfect for a single traveler. Room was very snug, but perfect for just me. Within walking distance of the bus/train station and plenty of restaurants/grocery stores/mini marts.

“Neat Hotel”

Very tidy hotel in Obihiro, on-site restaurant at night is a must, but avoid the breakfast in the same place, with stale pastries and unfriendly staff. I liked the view of the town from our room, and it was close to nice cafes and restaurants.
