We did not get the breakfast option, or use the parking. This was a 1 night stay. We had a single bed. Toilet was in its own room. Shower room was nice and big. We could shower and then use the bath. The bed was rock hard, but all Japanese beds are. This was about a 5 min walk from the main train station. You could see the bay from our room. They have a bar on the roof, with a good view of sunsets or sunrises. The drinks are good and not too over priced, food options are slim. There is a small seafood market a short walk away. A small group of izakaya's a couple of blocks down the canal. Train ride from sapporo has some good views. Views are on the right side of the train. The hotel was probably great during its hayday. Now it is starting to feel dated. Not run down or used, just dated. Staff was friendly, the place was clean. Would we stay here again if we come back through Otaru? Probably. Just wish the beds were softer.

Staff were so helpful from the minute we checked in. We were early but they had the room ready for us and it was a huge wonderful room with spacious bathrooms and a quiet place. The decor and interior are rather dated and unremarkable, but it is kept very clean and neat. It's as if you've stepped into a time machine back to the 60's. But, that's not necessarily the worst thing. Everything seems to slow down and people take time to do their jobs with care and oride. We loved it!! The breakfast was fresh, delicious, and amazing variety of japanese and western breakfast items. Everything was so fresh and so well prepared with plenty of Hokkaido specialty items. Just skip the oddly dry roast pumpkin and overcooked sticky corn (fresh corn only needs 3 mins in boiling water). The location is excellent and it's a small town so easy to walk to see sights. This place is well worth going to! Everyone had a positive and caring manner to them. It was truly a refreshing experience!!

Great location

Great, central location. The sights of Otaru were walkable and there were plenty of shops and restaurants nearby (although be warned yhat Otaru gets very quiet at night and most things close early). The hotel is very traditional (some might say old fashioned) but it was clean enough and comfortable. Fine for a short stay. Our room had a lovely view over the canal and the bed was comfortable. Decor was, again,very traditional. Wifi was decent. Well stocked amenity drawer in the lobby. Check-in was strictly at the designated check-in time and not a monent before (this seemed a common theme during our time in Japan). The check-in experience was slightly off putting as the lobby area stank of stale cigarette smoke. I learnt that this was because the designated smoking lounge was in the lobby. I think this should be reviewed, as it's extremely unpleasant as a non-smoker. The top floor bar was a lovely spot for drinks in the evening (and so well priced). Parking was easy enough and was around £6 per night. We didn't have breakfast as we needed to leave early the next morning.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay - out very spacious and comfortable home away from home. Everything from check in with welcoming attentive reception staff to other staff, the view from the room, the location, the ambiance/ decor - this hotel is recommended. The only negative - no coffee provided in the room or at reception.
