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 whole place is bright, spotless clean and comfortable.
It is in a quiet part of town, so the nights were not noisy even with the windows open.
The location is quite good, accessible to Otaru Canal, Otaru Music Box Museum, Otaru Station, if you are willing to go up/down hill a little, roughly 15-25 mins of brisk walking to any of those places.
Owner is helpful too.
Did I mention it is clean? Even the toilets and bathrooms are clean with no signs of grime or moss!
The location was excellent! Walking distance to train station and direct connection to two shopping areas. The hotel is not in the middle of Otaru town so don’t expect to walk out the door and have access to the attractions. Nevertheless, it was not an issue to take a short train ride to Otaru station.
Hotel is on a grand scale with large rooms and a huge dining area. The staff was very helpful with a few English speakers.
The rooms are spacious, equipped with jaccuzis and every single item one needs for a comfortable stay is there. The hotel has great ocean views from the rooms and beautiful mountain views from the corridor hall. Every staff I encountered were very polite and professions (thank you to all of them). Everything was clean and the breakfast was very delicious & served directly to your room. I hope to stay here again sometime.
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.
Outstanding service; classic hotel with lovely lobby and large rooms (ours had lovely view of ocean and Otaru canal area). Great location with parking next door and step out of lobby into walking mall, yet only a few blocks to 'sushi street' and Otaru canal area. Breakfast was expensive, but very good with a vast selection. Highly recommended.
The Hotel Nord, I adored. The staff were so polite, it was such a pleasant delight. And when my pass-card failed, immediately the staff availed! Breakfast choice was vast, and the food really first class. The wooden traditional decor is also to be adored. I'm sure I'll stay there once more thanks to the staff, the food, the comfort and decor!
Our host was quite welcoming and friendly. He even picked us up at the train station in Otaru when we arrived. Breakfast was fantastic. There were two radiators in our room to ensure that the room was warm. The beds were comfortable and the scenery beautiful. You can reach Otaru by bus. there is a stop nearby. We can recommend this place.
The hotel is close to the river, so you can see the river view from the window directly. Also, It is a historical hotel, because it has old but elegant decorations. The staff there are friendly and professional, they could speak English very clearly and easily to communicate with. In addition, we are lucky that we get the room upgrade.
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.
The staff were friendly and nice. I had the pleasure to chat with some of them during my stay. The floor was kept really clean by the staff despite it being winter (lots of snow) when I stayed. I had a very comfortable stay at this hostel. I would definitely stay here again when I'm in Otaru!
- Location! This place is the best at the heart of Otaru attraction street.
- The house is spacious with complete facilities. Big bathroom with bath tub. Very convenient and comfortable to stay.
- Parking is convenient.
- We will definitely stay here again every time we come to Otaru.
The staff was wonderful and they were nice enough to upgrade our room which was a pleasant surprise. Very walkable and near the canal, shops, restaurants. We wished we could’ve stayed longer in Otaru and will certainly be back to Oooooh Home.
My 2nd stay here, the price is reasonable and the hotel is accessible and convenience. The only thing i like to add that one of the room lighting is a little dim compare to the other 3 rooms.
The staff is a lovely and friendly Japan lady who can use English and Chiness very well.
The Hostel is a lovely history building just located on Otaru city, close to everything.
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!
