About Blue Hotel Supreme

Blue Hotel is part of a chain of love hotels located in Japan. A love hotel is a hotel that people rent for a set time rather than per day/night for sex. In Japan it used to be common for people to meet someone and bring them here rather than going to either of their respective houses. This kept sex and someone’s private spheres separate.

Nowadays the popularity of love hotels is waning, so love hotels are slowly rebranding themselves as normal hotels. This is the case of Blue Hotel Supreme, which is located in Susukino, Sapporo. While still following the principles of a love hotel (discretion above all else, only available to adults, etc.), you can now find these hotels on hotel booking websites such as Booking.com, which is where I found this one.

Location

Susukino is the entertainment district of Sapporo and the largest one in Hokkaido. Defined by its many restaurants, bars, nightclubs and other, similar establishments, Susukino is the place to go for nightlife and good food in Sapporo.

Blue Hotel is located one street to the east of the main thoroughfare in Susukino. It sits one street south and one street west of the Hosui-Susukino underground station, which is on the Toho (Blue) line. Susukino station is three streets north and one street west of the Blue Hotel. You can find Sapporo’s tram line as well as the Nanboku (Green) underground line here.

About the room

Being a love hotel, the rooms at Blue Hotel are meant for 2 adults to have an intimate, fun time while staying there; the room reflects this. In addition to standard amenities (towels, soap, shampoo, etc), there are many additions and extras, such as face masks, beauty products, other hair products, a hot tub/jacuzzi, large flatscreen televisions (also one in the bath!), several adjustable lights and masturbatory wand.

Additionally breakfast is supplied by the hotel. You can choose between 1) a hot ham, cheese and tomato sandwich with orange juice, 2) a Japanese breakfast curry or 3) a Japanese breakfast of miso soup and friend onigiri. Because there is no dining room or restaurant, this is brought to your room. You have to request the breakfast choice and time served (between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m.) every day before 4 a.m.

The good

The discrete nature, the friendliness of the staff, and the quality of the room are also large plus points for Blue Hotel. The experience and decoration of the hotel (low-level blue lighting in the lobby and all floors, including in the lifts), will be unlike any other hotel you have stayed at.

If you have also ever wanted to experience room service, you will get it here for breakfast every day included in the cost of your stay. Anything extra will need to be paid for separately.

For those who are privacy-minded, the staff here are used to seeing all situations and not asking questions or putting guests on the spot and making them potentially uncomfortable. While this sounds standard for Japan, I had the feeling that the staff here were especially trained additionally in this area as the majority of their customers are coming here for sex (and not all of them may be comfortable in talking about that as they are booking a room).

The bad

It is not necessarily bad but the front desk can be hard to find initially. Rather than the large doors at the front of the building (which are closed and locked with a sign), you need to enter through the side door where cars enter the parking garage. There are signs in Japanese that say “フロント” that you should follow.

It is also standard practice to turn in your key whenever you leave the property. You will be given a laminated card, which has your room number on it. You will give this back to the receptionist to get your key back when you return.

My review on Booking

Blue Hotel Supreme is a love hotel in the Susukino area of Sapporo. It is very well-located and close to two subway Nanboku and Tozai) lines. The hotel is very discrete (you enter through the parking garage, not the main doors). There are no common facilities (this is normal in a hotel) so things like breakfast (which come with the room) are brought to your room. You can choose 1 of the following: 1) hot cheese, ham and tomato sandwich, 2) Japanese breakfast, which is a yakionigiri and miso soup, or 3) a breakfast curry. The room was very spacious and comfortable with many amenities. You can buy things from the vending machine (both sexy things and food/drinks), there is a Google Chromecast connected to the TV, and I definitely loved the hot tub/jacuzzi in the room!

Being a love hotel, the staff are very discrete and it is unlikely that you are going to see any other guests while you stay here. I would happily stay here again when I come back to Sapporo if I want to stay downtown.

There was nothing not to like. I speak Japanese so I did not test the language skills of the staff. It may be possible that they do not deal with foreigners very often, so their English skills may be basic (or non-existent).

There has been no response from the owners yet.

What I did while there

There are a lot of things to do in Sapporo. Here are some activities that I did:

Verdict

I would definitely stay at the Blue Hotel Supreme again if I wanted to stay in downtown Sapporo. The price is similar to other hotels of similar quality and it is well-located between the two underground lines that serve this area. I was happy with my stay, so I would seriously consider staying here again.
