"Cozy Inn is superb, can easily be reached by bus or by car. Plenty of parking spaces. Room is big and clean. Close to Aeon and Daiso. Walkable to the canal if you are not driving. Check in uses machine and strictly only after 3pm, so do not come early. Overall, I highly recommend!"

Resident parking lot も unreasonable で, equipment も good く peace of mind して berth まれました.

"Private room was good, bathrooms outside the room and shower rooms on 2/F. My neighbors were noisy slamming the doors every time they went in and out; talking loud so I didn’t sleep well. Ok if you’re used to sharing space otherwise regular hotel may be better."

"The Japanese-style one-family house is located in a very remote location. The room I stayed in was Japanese-style. I was initially told that there was a male in the same dormitory, which I was not satisfied with. As a result, that person didn't come, so I stayed in a room by myself, which was fine. But the sound insulation is very poor, the old man in the next room can hear it. It was very noisy at night when the waiters were cleaning or decorating the house outside, in the middle of the night. The environment of the house is pretty good, you can cook and there is a refrigerator"

Amazing
GGuest UserWe absolutely loved this ryokan experience! Stayed for 2d1n as a couple and absolutely loved the place! We booked the room with the private onsen and it was a lovely small space on the 2nd floor we could enjoy privately. The onsen is not too big, maybe 1.5 x 1.5 meters, but it was spacious for the two of us. We also found out that you can book a 45 minute slot for a separate private onsen for about ¥2200, which we may have done instead, had we known about it before booking. The japanese-style room was comfortable and had the usual amenities provided, alongside other nice additions like lotions and creams. The staff helped us to set up our futon (japanese-style bed) after dinner, and it was overall a very comfortable experience. The staff are super friendly and service was incredible.
We got the dinner and breakfast package and the food was excellent. We had to choose both the dinner slot in advance, and it is first-come-first-serve. Dinner was served to us in the room over 1.5h and was a really amazing 12-course meal with instructions on the eating order. Breakfast was more standard, but still nice, we took it in the dining hall.
The lounge is open till 10pm and we could take drinks and refreshment freely, including some small snacks and soft drinks. But they stop serving beer at 9pm. The onsens also have mini-fridges with free popsicles. There is also an outside area you can access from 3pm - 9pm that serves hot coffee and wine, with free marshmallows you can roast on the outside firepit. It was really nice.
The garden is by far the nicest part of the hotel, it is really big and well decorated, with many nice places for photos and to enjoy a hot drink from the lounge. The space is quite large and might take about 20 minutes to fully explore.
The only downside I can think of is that the location is quite hard to access. We chose to get to and from the ryokan by taxi, but there is also a shuttle bus service, from what I understand. When we arrived, the reception told us that there would be a shuttle bus leaving at 10:45 to Otaruchikko station. We still ended up requesting a taxi from the front desk though, which they were happy to help us book (I couldn't get any taxis by cab in the location).
Overall a really amazing stay that we would absolutely recommend. The price tag might seem high for a ”3 star” hotel, but the ranking is deceptive, we absolutely had a 5 star experience. Cheers!
disclaimer: information is accurate as of 31 may, will try to provide info in as much detail as possible :)
MMikey KayEverything spot on. Onsen, evening ramen, free ice-cream and yokult were a nice touch. Very friendly atmosphere and professional staff providing help when needed. Automatic multistorey parking on site for the peace of mind will set you back for 1400 yen. Unless you wanna drive around to find something 200 yen cheaper. Room perfect and the memory pillows gave a good night sleep. Mind you that some could find it a tad hard though. Otherwise no complaints
CChee MunExcellent minimalist hotel that looks modern. It is conveniently located along the shopping street of Otaru and a stone’s throw to the famous Otaru canal, a short but scenic view of the town.
AAlexism07We stayed a night and chosen grid as a base as it's well situated in the middle of Otaru.
- We checked in in the evening after a long day out. I was trying to get my family to offload the bags and check in first, hotel staff saw us and approached us at the parking lot, we thought it's impressive for staff to have noticed us and came forward to help and direct us but we were quick to jump to conclusion. Instead of assisting us, the staff ask us to put the bag back on the car so he could direct us to a parking lot which requires payment. It's okay that assumption failed, but when we are at the parking lot, the staff direct me to park in the initiate lot, but subsequently changed his mind and directed me to park at the lot beside despite the fact I have turned off the engine and gotten off the car, and there's easily another 20 lots around.
That being said, I am fine with moving, the final straw for the poor rating came when they saw my wife struggling to wheel the big bags for the family across the snow to the hotel but offered no help. I think it's ungentlemanly and unspoken off of japanese service culture.
- Rooms and onsen is impressive though, we stayed in the top level which only has three family rooms I guess and the view in the morning is good. Amenities are self serviced at level one across the check in counter. Top notch face mist and hairdryer in the room was a plus. Cleanliness was top notch as well.
- location was central to Otaru Canal and JR Otaru station.
GGuest UserAlthough it is a old hotel, you can tell by the age of the building and facilities. My husband and I feel really comfortable during our stay.
The staff was nice and helpful
The room is very clean, old but very clean, which need a lot of effort put in.
(unlike some other hotel looks new cause they renovated but they don’t clean and you can see dust everywhere and you know they haven’t change the item if they are not used.)
KKazuya TatsuI booked this for my trip to Otaru. It's quite a walk up a hill from Otaru Station and Minami Otaru Station, but it's about a 20-minute walk from Tenguyama, so it was a good location for me who wanted to see the night view.
There were many toilets and showers compared to the number of rooms, and it was generally clean and nice. I thought it was great that there was a microwave and refrigerator, and that the washing machine and dryer were free of charge.
However, there are no amenities such as razors or toothbrushes, so you need to prepare them.
There are supermarkets and convenience stores nearby, so it's a good idea to do your shopping in advance.
Although it was at the last minute, they arranged for me to be picked up and dropped me off, which was very helpful.
GGlobetrotter & HikerI had a pleasant one night stay at Hotel Sonia. The hotel's location was excellent, situated in front of the Otaru Canal and within walking distance to shopping and dining areas, as well as the train station (though snowy conditions made it a bit tricky). While the hotel lobby looked modern, the room interior felt outdated. Note that late check-out comes with a 2000 JPY per hour fee, so plan accordingly. Overall, it was a decent one-night stay.
LluxbabyYou can stay cheaply during the peak season in Hokkaido.
Parking is free, which is especially good for those traveling by rental car.
You can think of the interior as a caravan without a kitchen.
It's a bit cold on winter nights.
However, if you keep the heater on, it's fine.
SStripedPumpkinHotel facilities were dated but mostly well-maintained. After spending 2 nights in Sapporo's small hotel room, it was good to have more space to spread out.
Outdoor hot spring was fantastic and the onsen is open till late night - giving guests enough time to enjoy it even after a full day out.
If you've a rental car, the location poses no problem. There is a large, 24-hour market nearby and it's only a quick 15-min drive to Otaru.
The staff were kind and provided ready assistance whenever we needed it.
Only issue I had was noise from the room above us. For some reason, the guests were running around in the room and it was very noisy.
Overall, it's a quaint, old-fashioned hotel with good ambience.
GGuest UserI stayed with five friends. The room was not particularly large, but it had a kitchen and a washing machine, so it felt like we were sharing a room. I thought it was a strange arrangement to have the toilet in the bathroom. There is a large torii gate in front of the hotel, so you have to go around it to get to the parking lot. The signs may be a little hard to understand. Check-in is unmanned and you can check in by yourself using a tablet, but if you have trouble finding your way, they will help you by calling.
