📍 5 Chome-18-2 Shinko, Otaru

"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."

Hokkaido Zhu Jin Villa Hotels in Otaru

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."

The Stay Yuki Hotels in Otaru

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."

Pension Shadow Classe Hotels in Otaru

"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 Hotels in Otaru

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."

"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."

Grids Premium Hotel Otaru ★★★★
"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. We are a family of 2 adults and 2 children, and the room was perfect for us. The room had 4 beds and windows, which made it spacious, bright, and comfortable. The hotel is in a very good location, making it convenient to get around and visit nearby attractions. The beds were comfortable, and the room was clean and cozy. We especially enjoyed the bathtub. It was a great way to relax after a long day, and our children loved it as well. Overall, we really liked this hotel and had a pleasant stay. We would definitely recommend it to families looking for a comfortable hotel in a good location."

Hotel Torifito Otaru Canal ★★★★
"Great location. Within walking access to the famous canal and shopping street. The hotel had its own onsen and it was really popular. Across the street there was a really good restaurant serving tempura and soba. Hotel staff made us really felt welcome. Paid parking was a bit expensive but it was expected."

Otaru Furukawa Hotel ★★★
"This hotel is excellent in every aspect. The staff are incredibly friendly and, despite limited English, they make a genuine effort to communicate. Three staff members were waiting outside for our check-in, and they escorted us all the way to the door during check-out. The location is super convenient, right next to the Otaru Canal, and it's a quick walk to Otaru Station. The hotel offers a lounge (accessible to all guests) and a smoking area. Outside the public bath, there are complimentary ice cream and Yakult drinks. Our room window opened right onto the canal, and the room was fully equipped with everything we needed. We initially thought our room wouldn't have a bathtub, but to our surprise, it did, and the bathroom window also offered a direct view of the Otaru Canal. Even the bathwater is natural hot spring water! Both breakfast and dinner were outstanding. While it might not suit everyone's palate, the Furukawa staff are very accommodating and try their best to make adjustments. For example, my fiancée doesn't eat raw food, and they were able to substitute those items for us. All in all, if you're looking to stay a night in Otaru, I highly recommend this hotel."

Grand Park Otaru ★★★★
"Pros: Spacious room, friendly restaurant staff, elegant  though dated rooms. Good breakfast buffet. Cons: No pool, gym or onsen - how can this be a 4 star hotel? Front desk staff not very friendly or English speaking. Parking in basement at 1650 yen is more expensive than other parking lots in the city Center downtown. Much better to stay in smaller rooms at city Center to walk around more easily. "

Granbell Hotel Otaru ★★★★
"The hotel is clean but a bit small.  The location is good. Within walking distance, you can reach many restaurants and the JR station. We stay two days and they didn’t even empty the trash box for us unless we asked.  And you need to ask for new towels yourself the other days."
