We had a great stay at Toya Sun Palace. The resort provided a bus service that picked us up from Sapporo for free, saving some money, though unfortunately it took over an hour longer than scheduled. The resort is impressive with the glass-walled lobby overlooking the lake, though the onsen areas were a bit smaller than expected. The Japanese style room was basic but comfortable, and housekeeping makes up the tatami sleeping mats at night. The room has its own small bathroom and a view of the lake, though the view is better elsewhere on the resort. Breakfast and dinner were included. The buffet had a very good range of food in our opinion, for both dinner and breakfast, and the quality was good by typical buffet standards. The separate male and female onsens had a range of baths, including an outdoor one overlooking the lake. It could be very crowded in peak season. The water is 38-40 degrees, which feels very hot but you adjust to it. There is a very faint smell of chlorine (much less than a normal swimming pool), but no sulphur or other smells. There is a nightly fireworks show on the lake which was nice, Tahitian entertainment performances everyday, and wearing the yukata around the resort was also enjoyable. We made the mistake of only staying one night, which was too short and didn't leave time to see the water fun park or go to Nakajima Island on the lake. We would definitely consider staying at Toya Sun Palace again, though maybe not during crowded peak season.

The worst hotel experience ever!
It's a really nightmare for us. The room was full of unpleasant smell, no AC inside the room and the ceiling wall was full of stain. We tried to exchange to another room but the hotel manager told us the hotel was full. However, we checked here and it's obviously not full! Many tours stay here, the dinner buffet was fine but the place was burning, cant really stay there for more than 30mins. Will never come back to this hotel again!

Although the resort is rather old, the surrounding view is still amazing. We had a great time having dinner while watching sunset. The pool wave is another plus point for the kids.

Air-conditioning system needs a major overhaul!
The lobby was very posh and welcoming but I am afraid the rooms and air-conditioning system needs sprucing up. It was warm and stuffy in the rooms although we turned up the air-conditioning to the max - you wouldn't be able to feel it at all. The food was ok. We stayed at this hotel on our 2nd night at Lake Toya and could easily compare this hotel with the other resort we stayed at on our 1st night. The other resort was excellent in all aspects but unfortunately they did not have rooms for the second night and we opted for this one instead and we were disappointed. Service wise, there was nothing to complain about - they were polite and attended to queries well and they do have good amenities such as a big video arcade for the children and even a big table-tennis room for booking. They also have a big indoor swimming pool with slides. Pity that the rooms and air-conditioning failed them.

Beautiful lounge & onsen
The common areas are beautiful. The lounge was stunning and so was the view from the onset. The view from the room was great but the rooms are extremely dated. I took the western room, which was on a smoking floor. My clothes and hair reeked of smoke when I woke up. Meal times end really early and it felt like a huge cafeteria.

Splendid lake view, lack of human touch
This hotel has a splendid lake view from its hotel lobby and from its outdoor onsen. Scrumptious breakfast and dinner buffet with good variety of foods. The receptionist staff and the onsen cleaner lady are not that friendly. Its dining place is very particular on their breakfast and dinner hours, make sure you do not go enter the dining hall late, or you have to find your own way to get your food in the winter time. Their staff is too focus on standard operating procedure and lack of human touch. Avoid peak season if you do not want to queue for your food. The room is clean but it looks old now(I can imagine its grandeur in the past though.) Overall, I enjoy its lobby and outdoor onsen most.

We stayed one night in Jan. We are lucky being allocated the new renovated room. Thought the room is not big but comfortable and clean. This hotel is not closed to the train station or center, so they have a store at ground. One thing we are appreciated was they provided free shuttle bus from/to Sapporo and the hotel. Super convenient especially in winter season. Spa also very nice especially outdoor spa. But don’t expect too much on dinner buffet. Overall we are happy and enjoy to stay.

Lakeside View
Fantastic lobby and infinity ofuro (public bath) view of Lake Toya! Otherwise a typical large hotel catering to tour groups (enormous dining hall--food not bad for a buffet--and modest rooms--reserve the VIP room for unobstructed view of firework show from the balcony). Although there is a free shuttle bus leaving Sapporo in the morning (contact hotel to reserve a seat), alternative transport will need a little planning (and cost).
