Breakfast was really great. There were various things and they were good taste also. The location was closed to many attractive places in Otaru. We just walked around there to find some restuarants. Really comfortable for my family...

I really liked Otaru, even though it is small and doesn’t have too much to see. It’s really just the main shopping strip and the canal. There are a few museums and some spots in the mountains (there seems to be a ropeway that is poorly advertised but would have been perfect) but that’s about it.
It’s really quite a charming place. The streetscape and history are both fascinating, and the food great - especially ankake yakisoba and kaisendon. I do think it would be an absolutely perfect place to end a trip and unwind for a few days before returning to reality.

A lovely old port town with many original buildings being repurposed for tourism - dining and glass making.
Compact size makes walking around easy but in winter could be snow bound.
Lots of great places to explore old Japanese culture and dining and drinking experiences.
Lots of fresh seafood...many diners around the actual fish market shop with all types of Japanese cuisine... tempura...sakitori...sushi..shashimi...hotpot ...ramen etc..and absolutely amazing bakeries / patisseries and local ice cream and dairy products. Even wineries have opened up.
And even more if you are a winter sports person with ski resorts on the town outskirts...seaon just closed when we were here.
All this a simple train ride from Sapporo Airport -- ok maybe an 2 hour ride...not bad if straight off the plane from Sydney or Seoul or Tokyo into the Sapporo airport.

After coming from the big city of Sapporo we loved the smaller town of Otaru. Planned on just doing a day trip but changed to stay overnight. Wish we had taken a day off Sapporo and added it to Otaru. No lights on the canal as expected but we still loved Otaru. Easy to walk to everything and a lot to enjoy.

We went during winter.
We went during winter. It is a small quiet town and most shops close around 5-6pm. So good to settle dinner early. As a small and quiet town, the place is generally quiet and peaceful after dusk. There is nothing to do after dusk and travelers can take a stroll down the Otaru canal and enjoy the night view.

Give the canal a pass, especially if you have been to Europe. Very underwhelming. Take the local train one stop to Shioya and hike the Shioya Maru-yama. It is about a 6km round trip hike up a local mountain with great views. Take the same train to Yoichi to tour the Nikka Whiskey Distillery and sample great whiskeys in the restaurant after the tour (book reservation for tour ahead of time and remember everything shuts down around 16:00).

The hotel: Great location, staff service facilities and everything you need to support your comfortable stay, a little cosy but expected in the country.
The town is lovely and has now become my most favourite town in Japan, want to be here more, it give me relax, local people are also very nice.
The whole place is bright, spotless clean and comfortable.
It is in a quiet part of town, so the nights were not noisy even with the windows open.
The location is quite good, accessible to Otaru Canal, Otaru Music Box Museum, Otaru Station, if you are willing to go up/down hill a little, roughly 15-25 mins of brisk walking to any of those places.
Owner is helpful too.
Did I mention it is clean? Even the toilets and bathrooms are clean with no signs of grime or moss!
A very cool room, designed in a Japanese style!
The room is clean and tidy, with a comfortable chair to sit in after walks around Otaru.
In the morning, we were treated to a buffet breakfast.
The breakfast is very rich and diverse for such a price.
The owner is very polite and willingly answered questions about the city and accommodation.
The hotel itself has a smoking room, an onsen bath (and a shower in the room).
The hotel is well located next to the canal. The train line was not operating due to snow on the day of our arrival. This required us to take a taxi from Sapporo. The return trip by train was very easy. The town, if a little touristy, has a lot of local history and fine seafood. We enjoyed the outlook from the bar at the top of the hotel.
Fantastic location, Short walk to Otaru Sakaimachi-dori for sightseeing, shopping and food. Situated above the hill and tucked away in a quiet locale, the residence is surrounded by ample natural greenery, fresh air and tranquility. Ample Free parking onsite. Apartment was also well equipped, rooms were sufficiently sized and clean.
Great location within walking distance to Otaru Canal. Very helpful staff, impressed with their willingness to go beyond their duty. They were polite and sincere. We had breakfast and dinner at the hotel which really exceeded our expectations. Meals were superb and you can really see the effort they put to serve a good meal.
We enjoyed our stay in Otaru, it was nice to be able to relax on the couch in the evening. Well equipped apartment. Friendly and quick responsive hosts, we appreciate it. Good heating system in the living/sleeping room, electric kettle and some tea/coffee. There was a fridge too. Parking in front of the building.
The hotel is only several hundred metres from the train station and comfortably within walking distance of the canal, so the location was excellent.
It was spotlessly clean and comfortable.
We would recommend it to all visitors to Otaru.
Breakfast was really great. There were various things and they were good taste also. The location was closed to many attractive places in Otaru. We just walked around there to find some restuarants. Really comfortable for my family...
The location is amazing! Not only is it close to the canal area of Otaru, the building itself is really interesting and beautiful. I loved the high ceilings and old wooden details.
Well located hotel with Lawson right at the door step! Walking distance to Otaru Canal and restaurants, onsite parking is convenient. Room is very clean though design is dated.
Onsen was great facility to enjoy, and also the coffees from the Sonia cafe downstairs was excellent, hotel is facing the canal so that's the picture spot for you
