Best Hotels in Otaru
Explore Otaru with 145 hotels near iconic landmarks, popular shopping streets, and top dining spots.
Grids Premium Hotel Otaru ★★★★
"The hotel is in a great location, just a short walk from the Otaru Canal and the shopping street. There is also a convenience store right downstairs, which is very convenient. However, parking is quite limited, so it may be difficult if you’re traveling by car. The biggest downside is the bathroom. The toilet and shower are combined into a very small unit, making it feel cramped. The hairdryer is also quite weak and takes a long time to dry your hair. I also wasn’t impressed with the provided shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, so I’d recommend bringing your own toiletries if possible. Overall, the location is excellent, but the room amenities could be improved."
Otaru Kourakuen ★★★★
"The entire stay was a dream. I can only recommend going here. It was very pricey for us but well worth it. The staff is exceptional, the facility beautiful, the food fresh and local and the atmosphere pure relaxation. If I had to pick something that could be improved, it's that the bonfire could run a little longer in the summer to enjoy it after dark."
Granbell Hotel Otaru ★★★★
"Very convenient! The hotel is right by the Otaru Canal, which is great. Parking is also cheap and it's easy to find food. The room is spacious and comfortable, and the bed is large and so soft it just swallows you up! I'll definitely stay here again."
Hotel Sonia Otaru ★★★★
"Strategic location, overall satisfied with the cleanliness. Room size is acceptable. Value for money I guess."
Hotel Torifito Otaru Canal ★★★★
"Not too far from Otaru Station. Staff was helpful and friendly. I like it!"
Nishikien inn ★★★
"The landlady was very enthusiastic, and the room was clean. It's only a 2-minute walk from the bus stop, which is great. I'll definitely stay here again."
OMO5 Otaru by Hoshino Resorts ★★★★
"Really enjoyed my stay at OMO5! It's my 2nd time in Otaru, and I stayed at Grids premium before - while the room size is similar, the amenities here are definitely better (very new, smart toilet, the bed is comfortable too!) there's a family mart right opposite & you can also walk to the shopping street + music box museum (it's a straight line so no GPS needed literally). Good location! Really love how chill this little town is & I will definitely come back to OMO5 the next time I am back"
Dormy Inn Premium Otaru Natural Hot Spring(Reopening on August 1, 2026) ★★★★
"Right outside JR Station, super convenient. We stayed here 9 years ago too. Breakfast was great, and we booked a Japanese-style room. The hotel has an onsen on the upper floors, which was lovely. It's an easy walk to Otaru's city center, and there's a bus stop right across the street for Mt. Tengu."
Otaru Furukawa Hotel ★★★
"This is my second time here, and I'm completely satisfied with everything. The hospitality, in particular, is exceptional, making it my number one hotel to stay at again!"

Guesthouse Otaru Wanokaze
"This hotel is fantastic. It's very close to the Otaru Canal and the pedestrian street, and there's an onsen (hot spring) downstairs. The single room was ideal, and I would definitely stay here again if I have the chance."
Otaru Asari Classe Hotel
"Very nice hotel with good view and good facilities. The meals included are also very nice."
Hotel Neu Schloss Otaru
"Hotel with a great view but slightly further away from town. Slightly dated."
Tabist Kaihourou Otaru
"Google Maps took us to a different, impassable route. There were no staff to assist with luggage when getting in and out of the car during heavy snowfall. Having large suitcases would be quite difficult. The hotel entrance was only slightly cleared of snow, making it hard to drag luggage. However, the room was large and spacious with a great view."
Tabist the Green Otaru
"Good location. 10-15min walk between station and tourist attractions."
Asarigawa Onsen Hotel
"The air in the hotel smells bad."
Blue Hotel Nagi-Adult Only
"it was good."
Home Yasuda
"The homey atmosphere was soothing and I was able to relax overnight. The next day, at breakfast, I was told about a restaurant (Prince Shotoku) that is popular among Otaru locals, and I was able to have a meaningful lunch."
The Stay Yuki
"The spacious family room was very clean, and I slept soundly until morning. It comfortably fit 6 adults, including junior high school students and older. However, I was told there would be space for 3 cars in the parking lot, but there were already 3 sedans parked there, so it wasn't possible. Even if it were empty, the extremely steep slope and narrow space would require considerable skill to park (TT). We ended up parking in a lot about a 5-6 minute walk away, which cost 600 yen for a maximum of 12 hours. The bathroom is located straight ahead from the entrance, and there's no changing area, so it would have been reassuring to have a partition or space for towels. Also, there are no curtains on the kitchen window immediately above, which required some care."
Hokkaido Zhu Jin Villa
"I contacted the store manager Richard by email when I booked the room. We arrived in Otaru after 4:30 pm. With Richard's remote guidance, we adjusted our itinerary, gained time, visited Tengu Mountain efficiently and satisfactorily, and took the last bus to the B&B. At that time, I had already had a good impression of Shukujin Villa before I checked in. After arriving, the room was clean and tidy, the tatami mattress was soft and comfortable, and the living room was bright and spacious, which allowed us to have a comfortable space to chat and drink tea. This made me fully realize how good it is to travel with multiple people and rent a villa! Moreover, each bedroom is equipped with an independent bathroom, which is very rare and an important consideration for me to compare prices when booking a room. It is especially important for our family with children. If I go to Otaru again, this will be the only choice for me and my friends."
Otaru Geihinkan
"I really liked the private and peaceful atmosphere. I'd definitely come back if I have the chance."
Alphabed Inn Otaru Ekimae
"Good!"
Otaru Retreat Kuramure by Onko Chishin
"Great hotel and great staff"
Pension Shadow Classe
"only smoking rooms, old furniture, no lift, only twin beds, lots of insects, good value for budget travellers, spacious, easy to access ski resorts"
Winkel Village
"I stayed at a condominium with an open-air bath for two nights. The facilities in the room, the hot spring, the fireplace, etc. were very good and comfortable. It was a 30-minute train ride from Sapporo and about 2,000 yen by taxi from Otaru Chikko, so the accommodation fee was reasonable and you could enjoy the beautiful scenery and natural hot springs very easily. However, perhaps because most guests came by car, or perhaps because they were not used to guests without cars, the walk from the reception desk to the condominium was a long way uphill, and I had to walk my large and heavy suitcase along the icy road, which was very difficult. (It even felt dangerous.) I bought some extra-large firewood (very heavy), but they told me to bring it myself, and although I asked them to bring it, I would say it would be five stars if they were a little more considerate to guests without cars. It's also typical of Hokkaido that the condominium does not have the minimum condiments or plastic wraps (charges apply). Also, I had to smile bitterly at the fact that there were many signs saying XX was prohibited, probably because some guests had bad manners, and I thought it was a bit of a waste considering the woody and nice atmosphere of the rooms."
Ginrinsou
"My 3-year-old child and I are from Hong Kong. This is our first time staying here, and we were pleasantly surprised by how friendly all the staff are. The restaurant dishes are very fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. The private hot spring in the room is incredibly comfortable. We had a wonderful night with our child."
