Breakfast was really great. There were various things and they were good taste also. The location was closed to many attractive places in Otaru. We just walked around there to find some restuarants. Really comfortable for my family...

I really liked Otaru, even though it is small and doesn’t have too much to see. It’s really just the main shopping strip and the canal. There are a few museums and some spots in the mountains (there seems to be a ropeway that is poorly advertised but would have been perfect) but that’s about it.
It’s really quite a charming place. The streetscape and history are both fascinating, and the food great - especially ankake yakisoba and kaisendon. I do think it would be an absolutely perfect place to end a trip and unwind for a few days before returning to reality.

A lovely old port town with many original buildings being repurposed for tourism - dining and glass making.
Compact size makes walking around easy but in winter could be snow bound.
Lots of great places to explore old Japanese culture and dining and drinking experiences.
Lots of fresh seafood...many diners around the actual fish market shop with all types of Japanese cuisine... tempura...sakitori...sushi..shashimi...hotpot ...ramen etc..and absolutely amazing bakeries / patisseries and local ice cream and dairy products. Even wineries have opened up.
And even more if you are a winter sports person with ski resorts on the town outskirts...seaon just closed when we were here.
All this a simple train ride from Sapporo Airport -- ok maybe an 2 hour ride...not bad if straight off the plane from Sydney or Seoul or Tokyo into the Sapporo airport.

After coming from the big city of Sapporo we loved the smaller town of Otaru. Planned on just doing a day trip but changed to stay overnight. Wish we had taken a day off Sapporo and added it to Otaru. No lights on the canal as expected but we still loved Otaru. Easy to walk to everything and a lot to enjoy.

We went during winter.
We went during winter. It is a small quiet town and most shops close around 5-6pm. So good to settle dinner early. As a small and quiet town, the place is generally quiet and peaceful after dusk. There is nothing to do after dusk and travelers can take a stroll down the Otaru canal and enjoy the night view.

Give the canal a pass, especially if you have been to Europe. Very underwhelming. Take the local train one stop to Shioya and hike the Shioya Maru-yama. It is about a 6km round trip hike up a local mountain with great views. Take the same train to Yoichi to tour the Nikka Whiskey Distillery and sample great whiskeys in the restaurant after the tour (book reservation for tour ahead of time and remember everything shuts down around 16:00).

The hotel: Great location, staff service facilities and everything you need to support your comfortable stay, a little cosy but expected in the country.
The town is lovely and has now become my most favourite town in Japan, want to be here more, it give me relax, local people are also very nice.
The family room had bunk beds for our kids, which they loved! It was spacious, clean, and comfortable for our family of four. Staff was friendly and helped us with parking and accessing amenities like the baths and breakfast. The baths were convenient and clean; pajamas were included so we could be comfortable walking around the hotel. The breakfast was delicious; my kids enjoyed everything and I appreciated the variety of foods to try. The location was easy walking distance from all major attractions in Otaru.
*The Owner staff was really accommodating and friendly.
*They have a free shuttle service from the time of your check in date. The staff will meet you from the Otaru station.Very convenient for new travelers.
*The staff also gave me a quick tour of the different Tourist Attractions within the area. The staff even gave me recommendations to what places that I should try to visit.
*The Hotel is very near to Mt. Tengu. The location is very accessible for those who want to try the Tengu Ropeway, Ski etc.
NIcely renovated hotel with an english vibe to it. Staff were friendly.
We booked the loft room for family of 4 and it could easily sleep 6. There is apple TV with projector in the room and we could mirror it with our ipad.
Room is comfortable and feels newly renovated. There is a family mart across the street and it is also within walking distance to Otaru canal and Sakaimachi Dori.
This is a very relaxing natural Onsen hotel.
It is a place where you can leave your worries behind and enjoy the quietness and relaxing atmosphere with everything catered for.
Room was large, dinner sumptuous, good selection of buffet spread for breakfast, daily piano recitals in the lobby in the evenings and most of all the relaxing outdoor Onsen.
The room was comfortable, quiet, clean, and large by Japanese standards. The furnishings were like new, with super comfortable beds. The hotel is a 15-minute walk from the train station and within easy walking distance of a lot of Otaru's tourist attractions. Friendly staff make this a hotel worth returning to.
We stayed in a room with twin bed, it was more spacious than I thought. A set of table and chair, bedside lights and amenities- there were everything we need. Also we appreciated the large communal area and free coffee.
We didn't use it but you will get access to Onsen at another hotel nearby.
Usually I dont do a review but was touched that the hotel refund me for my first night since we missed out the flight. We are glad with the arrangement. We love the stay here, everything is self service and auto check in and the place is clean, near to the city but quiet and new. thank you
Hotel Nord Otaru is classic business hotel. Staff was friendly and helpful. Our room seemed a little small at first, we have no problem staying a night without feeling uncomfortable. All necessities were provided in our room. Nonetheless, we love that bathroom and toilet were separated.
The breakfast was excellent. A good variety of food selections. The room was clean and comfortable with an ocean view. The public bath was a great feature. The hotel is close to the canal and Sakaimachi Hondori Street. It's a 10-minute walk from the train station.
Room view - we got the Room with Canal View and the view definitely did not disappoint.
Room size - the rooms were quite spacious as compared to our other hotel bookings in Japan.
Location - located right next to the Otaru Canal
The place is in the centre of Otaru, near canal and 8 min from the station. In the house there all you need to use, kitchen, bath , tv and washing machine. The host is very kind and helpful. Thank you and I will came back .
The place was super spacious - we were a party of 3 but could have easily fit 6+. Everything in the place seemed very new and clean! Check-in was super easy and it was very close to Otaru Station.
Hotel is just outside Otaru train station. Easy to drop your bag and continue your tour without waiting for check in. Onsen and free food at the hotel is great!
The space of the room. It's not easy to find hotel rooms this big in Japan. I was surprised by the size and the beautiful view from the room to the sea.
