The hotel feels quite old and could use some updates. Be aware that the staff does not assist with luggage, which might be inconvenient for some travelers. Additionally, the humidifier in the room had mold, and overall cleanliness could be improved.

Spacious Room
Nice large room and good amount of space as we were recommended this hotel by friends. Fixtures are dated but functional. Great view of the canal from our room! My only complaint is the layout of the bathroom with the toilet in front of the doorway I tripped and fell on the hard tile floor. Consider reversing the door swing so that the toilet is not immediately in front of the opening.

Si Qi, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice location on canal and good amenities.
Enjoyed the location and paying for the breakfast was worth it. Our room was fairly dingy however—could really use updates including a paint job and new furniture—the bed was comfortable but the rest of the room was lackluster. The Onsen was lovely and service was great when we needed them.

There's an Onsen within the hotel and Otaru canal can be viewed through the window. Location however is a bit far from JR Otaru station but walkable. It's a hassle though if you have luggages.
