Hotels Near JR Otaru Station in Otaru

I walked into the hotel disappointed as the parking B1 floor was dimly lit, not very welcoming. The lobby is fine, and the room is also fine. What really surprised me was how homey this hotel feels. They give out freshly cooked ramen and ice cream every night next to the onsen, in addition to Yakult-like probiotic drink every morning. The buffet breakfast is the best one I’ve had in this whole Hokkaido trip. Good selection of food, and they don’t serve anything they are not good at serving. They include grilled scallops, 2 types of soup, typical Hokkaido seafood bowl, etc. The natural onsen is a bit small but sufficient. Out of 4 hotels I’ve stayed in Hokkaido this trip, I miss this one the most although it is quite old. First impression is meh, but the stay experience was fantastic.

I almost always take care of Mr. Ocent when I go to Otaru. I usually book a twin room, but this time I used travel support, so I rushed to make it a deluxe twin. It was nice and awesome, but it's a little disappointing that a new hotel was built nearby and the view on the sea side was blocked. The staff at the front desk and lounge were also very polite. The cleaning staff passing each other through the corridor 々 and greetings are very pleasant (the same every time I stay) It is convenient to go anywhere for meals and sightseeing. You can go through the arcade to Otaru Station, so it's very helpful when the weather is bad. The food in the hotel is very delicious and it's a really recommended hotel.

　Amenity is a simple hotel that saves the waste to take next to the front desk, so I think it is not enough to ask for a 5-star or 4-star hotel. It's just a new and clean hotel that is much more calm than a normal business hotel. Some pack prices with breakfast are very reasonable depending on the site. The location is very quiet because it is located in line with the former Bank of Japan building, not along the canal. It is close to the mall shopping street, so it is close to the sushi shop, the cake house in Hanazono town and the shinkuraya. There is also Lawson next door. The parking lot can be deposited from 13:00 before check-in, so it is ideal for sightseeing such as the canal, the must-see Otaru Art Village, and the Otaru City Literature Museum. As soon as you leave the canal, you will see a local-priced shop that is not a tourist price, and I think the location is wonderful. In addition, the view from the hotel room overlooking the harbor was wonderful. We were in a smaller condition, extra bed, in a not large room, but we were very comfortable. I think it's also because the door is thick or I can't hear the sound of other rooms at all. However, the bath in the room is small. Instead, the large communal bath on the top floor is not a hot spring, but the view is good and clean. It is also a good impression that the lockers that can be used were restricted so that they would not be crowded, probably because of corona measures. Breakfast buffet does not include fish * or crabs that tourists to Hokkaido are looking for. Still, it is delicious with local vegetables and Alice Farm jams. The menu is more Western than Japanese, but there are many warm foods and it warms up even in snowy Otaru. Thickly sliced bacon and steamed vegetables were very delicious. Also, the staff was young and I liked it very much even though it was crispy. The front desk staff guided me in the snow when I entered the parking lot. It was also active at the breakfast venue, so it seems that it will help where human hands are needed. It is also advanced as a business hotel that can calm down with a lot of new indirect lighting. We recommend that the husband of the corner-style liquor store, which is located at the edge of the arcade after dinner, is the most friendly and friendly if you drink a glass of sake. You can interact with people I will. We used travel support. Payment is １ Each person 3,300 yen with a coupon of 3,000 yen, so it is actually 300 yen. It was a sorry cost. I still want to use it.

Hotel location is good, walking distance to the Canal and Shopping street. Hotel room is a good size for family of 4, clean and new. The laundry room has two washing machines, unfortunately, the day we use, one washing machine out of service, and we need to queue to use another one.

Fantastic location overlooking the canals in Otaru. Best thing about the hotel was having a separate bathroom and a separate toilet… Especially useful when travelling with families! Gorgeous stained glass window and you can see the amazing sunset from the top floor as well  Reception was large and the front desk folk were very friendly and helpful. Overall would highly recommend this hotel  

Hotel is old but able to see the effort of refurbishment. However, there are dirt mark in the toilet and sink. Possibly older design of toilet with a big step from living area to toilet, will be hard for elderly to mobilise in the room. In terms of public area, they are generally clean and neat. The top floor public bath is relatively small with the number of guests in hotel. If the window shade could be removed, it will be a great view from the bath to the river canal.

It is mainly self-check-in and unmanned, but they will help you if you have trouble. I didn't know this, but there is a washing machine in the room, which is useful for long-term stays.

Nice hotel but a bit old and not updated, connected with shopping mall but the mall cannot be used before 10AM, so you will have to walk outside if you have a 9AM train, and expose to weather. Very nice view of the harbor and large rooms. Good service from quality staff. Breakfast is OK and no surprise.

I stayed in Oceanfront Royal Suite Room 805. The circular floor on the top floor, the view of the coast and quay from the living room were wonderfully impressed like a painting. The building that rises on the coast seemed old, but the room was cleanly maintained and comfortable to stay. The view from the living room and bathroom was wonderful and seemed worth staying just to enjoy this view. The furnishings were antique and it was good to match the atmosphere of the resort. The big bathroom is not a hot spring, but it was always good to enter at any time with hot water. I opened the bathroom window and enjoyed the magnificent view of the Sea of Japan while listening to the sound of the waves of the Sea of Japan. It was good that there were enough towels. For dinner, I had a special suite course ”Presil” at the restaurant. There were many items and volumes, so I was able to enjoy it deliciously. The wine was also cheap and good. I was able to get it with a chopsticks, and the female staff were friendly and I had a fun dinner. I asked for white asparagus dishes for additional dishes, but it was very delicious and satisfying. Breakfast was also served at the restaurant with ”creative breakfast”. While enjoying the scenery, I enjoyed a relaxing breakfast at my seat. It was good to be able to get sparkling for free from the morning. As an aside, the unique hairstyle of the male staff was good. I was very satisfied this time. I would like to stay if I had another chance.

I was totally blown away by the evening session at the onsen located at the lower level.
