Great location

Great, central location. The sights of Otaru were walkable and there were plenty of shops and restaurants nearby (although be warned yhat Otaru gets very quiet at night and most things close early). The hotel is very traditional (some might say old fashioned) but it was clean enough and comfortable. Fine for a short stay. Our room had a lovely view over the canal and the bed was comfortable. Decor was, again,very traditional. Wifi was decent. Well stocked amenity drawer in the lobby. Check-in was strictly at the designated check-in time and not a monent before (this seemed a common theme during our time in Japan). The check-in experience was slightly off putting as the lobby area stank of stale cigarette smoke. I learnt that this was because the designated smoking lounge was in the lobby. I think this should be reviewed, as it's extremely unpleasant as a non-smoker. The top floor bar was a lovely spot for drinks in the evening (and so well priced). Parking was easy enough and was around £6 per night. We didn't have breakfast as we needed to leave early the next morning.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay - out very spacious and comfortable home away from home. Everything from check in with welcoming attentive reception staff to other staff, the view from the room, the location, the ambiance/ decor - this hotel is recommended. The only negative - no coffee provided in the room or at reception.
