  Nice View, Average Service

  The hotel has a spacious lobby with European decor and furniture including a fake fire place, but the room is very dated (we probably got the room in the old wing) with a very old chest of drawers cupboard. The pillows are also very small and hard, not comfortable at all to sleep on. The saving grace is we have booked a canal view room which overlooks the beautiful canal in snowy winter. The heating in the room is also a welcome refuge from the harsh cold winter air outside. This hotel has an in-house onsen and charges 150 yen per adult regardless whether you use the onsen or not. The price is very reasonable and it's really a pleasure soaking in the heated large onsen pool after a day's out in the freezing cold winter. Even though the hotel is walking distance to the Otaru JR station, it's still a good 15-20 minutes walk and it is not easy having to lug luggage on the slippery icy floor. But the famous Otaru Canal and some nearby eateries are a stone's throw away. Also be prepared that the hotel staff can't really converse well in English so was hard to communicate our needs. They also go by the book and do not allow us to check in earlier even though we arrived early in the morning from the airport and were having jet lag.

  Nice clean hotel

  Room is small ( common for Japanese standard) , comfortable,clean and has a little European vibe. We had lunch at their restaurant which serves mostly Japanese food. It was really good and price is very affordable. Otaru canal is just 1 minute walk from the hotel! It has a public bath area but too bad we didnt manage to use it. Will be back for sure!!!

  Central Location

  The hotel was across the street from the canal...you could see the lighted candles in and along the canal for the winter light festival from the hotel. It was also a short walk to Sacaimachi shopping street and to the Otaru train station. The room was large, unusual for Japan. The door to the room was short...had to be careful not to bump my head going in. The bathroom was a bit off. It was clean but the sink and mirror were set low...not optimal for taller western guests. The price is reasonable and I would definitely stay there again.

  Good location in Otaru

  Great location - 10 min walk from JR station and opposite the canal. Room was small but clean and comfortable with canal view. Restaurant was good but needed to order by 9pm. Decent onsen also has view of canal.

  Best view and very specious room

  Were here for two nights to explore Otaru! We got the view of Otaru canal - it was very beautiful view ever. Location was great! Convenience store : only 1 min walking distance / around the hotel so many restaurants Restaurant of the hotel itself was very nice both Breakfast buffet and also very fine dinner. Reception was very helpful and very fast action while during the night we heard sth strange! The receptionist came to the room very quickly. Cant wait for the covid19 to be gone ... then we could go back again
