    Corner room was a bit small if you have bigger suitcases

    Beautiful building, location right near the canal. Free Wine at the bar during happy hour had a nice ambience, would be nice to have some tasting notes in English.

    The location is quite near to the Otaru canal, but around 10-15 mins walks from Otaru station. The free wine session.

    TV size in the room was too small even though they had apple TV.

    You can walk to Otaru Canal and music box museum easily. The atmosphere of the hotel was unexpectedly cool.

    Limited car park lots. Room is not practical as central light switches are at bed front. Also there were no hooks to hang clothes or towels. Breakfast served on the high tea-tray is a novelty. However, the foods layout were mostly cold.

    Hotel has the nice vintage ambience. Rooms are modern and clean. Welcome wine is a nice gesture by the hotel.

    My family room (for 6 persons) was a bit small.

    The location is great. I can walk to Otaru cannel and walking street. Hotel offered free wine in special hour, and the staffs took care of this in well-manner. I love the interior design. And breakfast was fantastic. It served with good care and meaningful.

    A little walk from the station

    Interesting link to Otaru's history being the original hotel during the commercial peak of the town. Very sophisticated ambiance, and lots of great perks like the free Hokkaido wine each day. Good central location near the canal

    Like all Japanese hotels - make sure you book with meals when you book, or it will cost you extra!

    The hotel fitout and aesthetic is great, the staff are friendly and speak really good English, the food is great, and the hotel bar is a good place to relax for a whiskey or two. The hotel is close to everything you want to see in Otaru - the canal and the main shopping strip.

    room was a bit dark, should have asked shared more about breakfast details as I had to request for change in food as we don’t eat ham and breakfast service had dishes with ham. No TV - used projection.

    Beautiful art nouveau decor and housed in an old building, a short walk to the shopping street, breakfast, wine hour.

    Love the old english vibe of the hotel.

    Space constraint means little space for our luggages for our family of 4. Otaru is a quiet town and most shops are close after 5-6pm. So there is no dinner options around the hotel. There is a restaurant in the hotel but we did not try it. We settled our dinner early at other places before heading back.

    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.
