"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!"

"Enjoyed an overnight stay in this clean, modern hotel in a comfortable superior double room with queen bed. It is well located within walking distance to the principal city tourist attractions such as Otaru Canal, the steam clock and the Sakaimachi shopping street. Attractive and clean public bath on the upper floor with outdoor area. Recommended."

"March 20, 2026 The hotel is about a 22-minute walk from Otaru Bus Station. The furthest I walked was to the vicinity of the Music Box Museum, which took about half an hour. I walked everywhere to save on transportation costs, and I felt it was a pretty ideal distance. On my first day, after checking out from my previous hotel in Sapporo, I arrived around 1:30 PM local time. The day before, the Trip.com app concierge contacted the Chinese owner, who said I could check in early for free. So, upon arrival, I just entered the main door password, went inside, and used the iPad on the table to scan my passport photo for check-in. It was incredibly smooth. I was so tired that I slept until dark. The property is a detached house (a 'one-family build' villa) with two floors. Each room accommodates independent guests. Only my room (104) and another room on the first floor do not have private toilets or bathrooms; all other rooms have en-suite facilities. So, I only needed to coordinate my bathroom and shower times with one other guest. There are two public showers and one public toilet. During my stay, the other guest and I were very considerate when using the facilities, and it didn't affect our usage at all, which was great. Room 104 is the first room upon entering, which was very convenient for my oversized luggage. The private room itself was also very spacious. On the table were bath towels, hand towels, and a one-piece pajama. I slept very well. The value for money is super high, and I'm extremely satisfied."

Hotel Torifito Otaru Canal ★★★★
"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 ★★★★
"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."

Grids Premium Hotel Otaru ★★★★
"The hotel is so lovely. There is a Lawson just literally 1 min walk away and the surroundings have eateries to fill your tummies if you don't feel like venturing out. The location allows you to walk towards the Otaru Canal in less than 10 min. Very good location I would say. The room we got is of a decent size for two, is clean and we even have a nice City/ Seaview. Parking lot is just beside the hotel hence great for those who drives to Otaru."

Hotel Nord Otaru ★★★★
"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"

Hotel Sonia Otaru ★★★★
"I had an enjoyable stay at Hotel Sonia Otaru. The front desk staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the room was clean and comfortable. One of the highlights of the hotel is the onsen on the top floor. The hot spring offers a beautiful view overlooking the canal and the sea, making it a very relaxing experience. I also appreciated the complimentary massage chairs, which were especially enjoyable after soaking in the hot spring. The only inconvenience was the lack of some basic guest amenities. Among the four hotels I stayed at during my seven-day trip in Hokkaido, this was the only one that did not provide complimentary bottled water upon arrival. There was also no self-service guest lounge offering free coffee, ice, or a microwave oven for guests’ convenience. Overall, it was still a pleasant stay thanks to the friendly service, clean rooms, and excellent onsen facilities."

Grand Park Otaru ★★★★
"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."
