8/10 Very good

It has a very good hotel breakfast. The lobby, cafe are very beautiful. But the room is seriously dated and in need of a renovation. I love the area as it is right beside the Otaru canal where I can take walk in the early morning before the tourists come.

The scenery was nice, but the sound of cars driving along the canal in the morning was quite loud. It was a shame that we could hear a lot of machinery noise. The bath was very nice, as it offered a great view. The breakfast was also quite good.
YASUYUKI, 1-night trip

Overall a great hotel that we keep using . The coffee at breakfast is not good. There is a nice coffee shop attached to the hotel but does not open until 10:00

yuchun, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel is old and feels with less maintenance. Parking area not shovelled and only allow guests to park over 12pm on departure day. Staff communicate smooth and friendly; we felt paid more than how it deserves. Surrounding area is ok, walkable to all attractions and hotel room facing the canal. overall is an old and average hotel for us.
Gail, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Very nice hotel, however property was surprisingly dirty on close inspection. Mold in bathroom for example, damaged furniture. While staying here i became very ill, however staff were very accomodating and area around hotel is very ideal. Lots of tourist areas and very walkable. Main issue was cleanliness of the room.
