Hotel Torifito Otaru Canal

Hotel Torifito Otaru Canal

📍 5-7, Ironai 1-chome, Otaru
★★★★ 9.0 (1,371 reviews)

"It was pretty good. There's a public bath on the first floor, separated for men and women. It's conveniently located between the canal and the station, less than a 10-minute walk away. The room was a bit small, and it would have been better if the humidifier wasn't there as it took up space."

Granbell Hotel Otaru

Granbell Hotel Otaru

📍 1-1 Sakaimachi, Otaru
★★★★ 9.0 (261 reviews)

"The hotel was just beside the start point of Sakaimachi Street. It was convenient and close to the many attractions of Otaru."

Nishikien inn

Nishikien inn

📍 22-15 Nishikimachi, Otaru
★★★ 8.6 (138 reviews)

"This guesthouse seems to be run by Chinese owners, which is nice. My room was right by the entrance. After checking in at the front desk, I couldn't find it until I turned around... it felt a bit like sleeping in a guardhouse. The soundproofing isn't great either. Because of its peculiar location, it gets very noisy in the mornings. And the room next door seems to be a staff office, which also generates a lot of noise. However, the room was warm and clean, perfect for a night's sleep, and the price was excellent. The only downside is that it didn't have a private bathroom. The common areas were clean and there was even coffee available, which was a pleasant touch."

Grids Premium Hotel Otaru

Grids Premium Hotel Otaru

📍 1-3-13 Inaho, Otaru
★★★★ 9.0 (1,361 reviews)

"Room is very decent. Small size but enough for two of us. The only downside of the room is the lack of luggage rack. Not sure if it’s a temporary problem during our stay, the shower in public bath is not hot enough. You can also hear a loud noise from the water pipes/ pump."

Hotel Nord Otaru

Hotel Nord Otaru

📍 1 Chome-4-16 Ironai, Otaru
★★★★ 9.1 (482 reviews)

"Worst parking experience for overnight which charge me JPY 16200. Hotel car park is full and ask me park outside, but unfortunately I park at Family mart car park which is no maximum charge. As a tourist, I don’t understand the words there for weekend and I call to call centre don’t know English. After that I asked hotel to help call, but nothing can change and I forced to pay the MOST expensive parking in my life"

Grand Park Otaru

Grand Park Otaru

📍 Chikko 11-3, Otaru
★★★★ 8.8 (1,087 reviews)

"Before our trip, I emailed several hotels regarding our honeymoon, and only Sapporo Odori and Grand Park Otaru replied. Hotels in Toya, Hakodate, and Noboribetsu, all costing over 3K, didn't respond. Grand Park Otaru was by far the most proactive, even arranging a complimentary cake for us. Highly recommend! Although it's a bit far from the popular spots, getting a taxi is very convenient."

📍 1 Chome-8-25 Ironai, Otaru

Hotel Torifito Otaru Canal ★★★★
"Spotlessly clean, quiet, and the pillows were super comfy. The hot spring bath was pristine, and the laundry service was really convenient. The front desk staff, especially the guy who checked me in, was incredibly warm and helpful. Five stars! The location is fantastic too, just a few minutes' walk to the Otaru Canal. Highly recommend!"

"The room is small but cozy, perfectly fine for one person. The location is also great, right at the end of the canal. It's not noisy around here, and a 7-Eleven is just a three-minute walk away."

Hotel Nord Otaru ★★★★
"The hotel front desk are friendly and easy to communicate with English. The room is spaces and my room's window view is Otaru Canal. Very beautiful winter view. The hotel located about 15 minutes walking distance to The Otaru Steam Clock location and about or less than 10 minutes from the JR station. The check in time is 3pm but we reached before that the hotel also let us check in earlier. Overall I am happy with this hotel."
