Spacious Room
Nice large room and good amount of space as we were recommended this hotel by friends. Fixtures are dated but functional. Great view of the canal from our room! My only complaint is the layout of the bathroom with the toilet in front of the doorway I tripped and fell on the hard tile floor. Consider reversing the door swing so that the toilet is not immediately in front of the opening.

6/10 Good

I was rather disappointed with this hotel. The lobby was very nice and open, upon check in, the service was excellent. However, the rooms are quite old, especially the bath room. There were hair and small dirt marks ok the bed sheets, and for some strange reason, the pillow are small and in a square shape (like a small European pillow). The hotel is made up of 3 wings, but only has one small restaurant, so in the morning the line is crazy and the food area is overcrowded. The food choice was very limited as well. The location of the hotel is great, right next to the Otaru Canal, easy walking distant to most of the tourist attraction.

4/10 Fair

Average Japanese hotel, complicated parking.
The hotel is not new but reasonably maintained. Mattresses are a a bit squeaky. Overall a clean place. We didn’t use the onsen. We came with a small baby. It was a rainy day. We appreciate it was an hour early for check in, and no problem with us. But showing the reception staff that there are no cars at all in the parking lots they still asked us to go away, park in a public car park, and come back to park at the time of check in. Rules may be rules, but really…? Eventually we parked, but when we drove out in the rain on our rerun found there was no longer parking for us, as we hadn’t reserved our spot, only paid. We found parking in the end, but why so complicated? Anyway, we do not recommend this hotel for guests with a car. Parking in Japan is relatively inexpensive and not complicated, except here. The breakfast we also rate below average for both Asian and European standards, but not a deal breaker. Lots of other breakfast places nearby. I seldom write such reviews. Otaru is a charming town and worth visiting.

Nice location on canal and good amenities.
Enjoyed the location and paying for the breakfast was worth it. Our room was fairly dingy however—could really use updates including a paint job and new furniture—the bed was comfortable but the rest of the room was lackluster. The Onsen was lovely and service was great when we needed them.

There's an Onsen within the hotel and Otaru canal can be viewed through the window. Location however is a bit far from JR Otaru station but walkable. It's a hassle though if you have luggages.
