Guesthouse Otaru Wanokaze Reviews

All of the staff were so friendly and kind.love everything there. definitely go again for my next trip in Otaru.

Its good for solo traveller. Although there are no baggage lockers but the room is clean and the bed is big.

Friendly owner and good location Hot springs near the building(paid use)

place has very homey vibes

I booked two nights, the price is less than 200 per night, and the Otaru Hotel during the Snow Festival is more than 800+, so I chose a warm youth hostel. The person in charge is an old lady. You will find her humor and enthusiasm when you communicate with her. If there is no one at the front desk, you can ring the bell. You need to leave the key at the front desk when you check out. The second floor can be connected to the bathhouse on the first floor (I didn’t go because it seems to be an independent business bathhouse, and my roommate likes to go there); If you are assigned to a double room as shown in the picture, you are lucky because you will live very comfortably. My roommate is of the same country and the same sex, and we chatted like friends; If you are assigned to a quadruple room, then you will experience a rich youth hostel life. The roommates are men and women from all over the world. It is easy to communicate in a narrow environment. Everyone is very quiet and you don’t have to worry about your sleep problem. But there is indeed a smell that is not like 🦶 air for two days. I can’t tell the difference. There is a burning thing in the room (it seems to be an air purifier) ​​that can solve this smell. The interesting thing about this youth hostel is that it is like a blind box. You don’t know what you will encounter.

The environment is very warm, making me want to stay a few more days🥹

Highly recommended! It's like home, with complete facilities and a clean and tidy environment. It's a Japanese-style hotel. The owner and the front desk lady are really very attentive! It's close to Minami Otaru Station. You can take a bath, heat food, and wash clothes...

The room was clean but old. Good value for money, 300 yen for a bath in the bath downstairs, the facilities were relatively simple.

Although the facilities are old, I like the full Showa era feeling! The owner is still as friendly as before, and the hot spring on the first floor is clean and comfortable; the only thing is that there seem to be many European and American skiers staying here. There are people coming back very late at night around 1-2:00, and the old stairs are banging and the wooden sliding door is a bit noisy. Everything else is good

It was snowing heavily that day, and because it was some distance from the station So it's very difficult to walk. There is a hot spring downstairs that you can use for a fee. It feels like returning to grandma's house. I recommend it.

This Japanese-style B&B is my favorite stop in Hokkaido. My mother-in-law is kind and cute. I will stay here again next time. I hope my mother-in-law will be healthy and live a long and happy life.

Clean and sanitary, it would be perfect if the bath didn't cost 300 yen

Convenient transportation, with a station at the door. The room is clean and tidy. The old lady at the front desk is very hospitable.

- Old but cozy interior - Friendly owner, grandmother - Neat and clean but somewhat stuffy room - affordable price - Ambiguous location - The circular stairs leading to the bathroom are somewhat dangerous. - Paid use of spacious public bath available (300 yen in cash) - Hard mattress
