    Room windows didn’t open which I’m not a fan of as I like access to fresh air. Not a ton of other facilities. They have parking but you have to pay.

    This is a newer property so things felt clean and new. Room size was large for Japanese standards. Rooms are non smoking with a smoking room off the lobby. The breakfast buffet was good. Location is great, you can walk everywhere you need to.

    Not many eateries or places of interest around hotel. Walk 20-25 mins to Canal and old town. But walk was pretty pleasant. Not really a `didn't like'. Just nothing around hotel.

    Location was quite central and 10-15mins walk from the train/bus station. Simple no frills hotel. Convenience store next to hotel.

    Only 1 thing I like to suggest - Do offer an option to turn off the vanity light behind the mirror, it was simply too bright.

    New boutique hotel with one of the most delightful and good spread Japanese breakfasts I have had. Every dish is tasty, carefully prepared and displayed. The bread and pastry basket were unforgetable. We had the Otaru Port view and on a clear day, we could see as far as the windmill power farm and sunrise. Beddings are clean and comfy. Walking distance to Otaru Canal and shopping street. Next to Lawson and 2 covered shopping street. I am grateful to the room service and front desk teams for retrieving and keeping my items in the safe as I forgot to remove them when I checkout. Their email reminder truly saved the day. I stayed in the Superior Twin Room.

    Car parking could have been provided for hotel guests for free or at a subsidised rate. Overall no complaints or issues, was a great stay.

    A nice hotel in Otaru central location within walking distance of all the main touristy sights & spots (5mins to the canal and all the shopping / food spots in town). Stay was super comfortable, staff were friendly / helpful and the room itself was very nice with a good view facing the sea / canal side (could not see the canals though as we were in a lower floor). Great location, and good amenities for 1-2 nights stay in Otaru. Parking too was available at JPY1500 per day at the hotel itself, slightly more expensive than the commercial car parks but convenient (would have been nice if guests had free parking but again this is not the norm in city/town hotels in Japan).

    The layout was awkward, as the sink for washing your hands/face is in the corridor area when you first walk into the room, with the toilet and the bath/shower in separate little rooms. There is a sliding door which closes this area off from the beds/TV area, but not always practical.

    Very conveniently located, with on-site parking available upon request, although there is an extra charge. Walking distance to the famous Sakaimachi shopping street and the canal, among other places of interest. Room was clean and not too squashy. The buffet breakfast was very nice. Although not the biggest variety, there was still more than enough to eat and of a good quality.

    The room for three is quite small. Small table and chairs have to put aside at the end of the beds. Parking space is not enough and clients have to park at the otber parking space.

    It seems like a modern hotel with simple and smart design in every details. It locates at good place which is next to a convinence shop.
