Hotel Neu Schloss Otaru

If you drive by yourself, the location is okay, it's on the mountain but not far from the city. The surrounding scenery is very good, and there is a viewing platform nearby. The breakfast set is quite unique.

The hotel is located next to the cliff on Otaru Mountain. It looks like a smoke, but the environment is first-class and the view of the Japanese sea is unparalleled. The room is large and has a hot spring. Breakfast and dinner were exquisite Western style, very satisfying. It takes about 10 minutes to drive to Otaru Canal.

It was a very good experience. The room was large and clean. There was a private soup in the room. The breakfast was a set meal and semi-buffet with good quality. I will stay at his house again next time.

The hotel has a great view and is located on a hillside, but public transportation is inconvenient. Locals all drive here by themselves. The hotel has a pick-up service. In the morning, it only sends guests to Otaru JR, and in the afternoon, it only picks up guests from Otaru JR to the hotel. I went to the hotel in the morning, so I chose to take a taxi. It cost less than 3,000 yen from Otaru Station to the hotel. The aquarium is located at the foot of the hillside of the hotel. If you don’t want to climb the hill, you can take a taxi for 700 yen. I booked a sea view room, where you can see the aquarium Ferris wheel. The room is spacious and you can take a soft water bath. It’s worth it! The only drawback is eating. The restaurant has limited seats, and breakfast and dinner must be reserved! Otherwise, you can only be like me, hungry until 8:30 pm before you can order food at the BAR. Although the staff’s English is not very fluent, their service attitude is very good.

The scenery around the hotel is amazing, the dinner is also very good, and the extra white wine recommended by the hotel is a pleasant surprise. The downside is that the room type arranged by the hotel is average, with only one window, which is half blocked by the wall. The hotel facilities are also a bit old. It is a pity that the terrace outside the restaurant cannot be walked out to watch the sunset.

The location is a bit remote, but it is quiet in a busy city. The scenery is super beautiful. You can see the lighthouse and the sea from the room. You can walk to the aquarium. The breakfast and dinner are very delicious. You can stay here just for the food. The picture is breakfast, not dinner.
