3 km from Otaru Aquarium

"Stair inside the room that can directly goto the other room without door/gate. Feel not safe if stranger live downstair, also not safe if young kids walking around. The toilet without any ventilation fan, make it a bit smelly. Parking area is not big enough for 2 car, maybe is the parking instruction not show clearly how to park the car. The instruction should show how two car parking in the parking area. This house better for those who only need sleep."

Top Otaru Aquarium Hotel Reviews

Sapporo Prince Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Good location just outside Sapporo’s covered street. Enjoyed the service. I needed help with another hotel and Antony was kind enough to call for me and sort out my issue. Clean, spacious and good views of the mountain. It has lots of convenience stores around including one in the hotel. Parking is free when you stay there too, very convenient. I will definitely consider coming back if I return to Sapporo. The only downside if there’s one is that you need to pay for the onsen but I did enjoy it."

Sapporo Grand Hotel

8/10 Good

"Overall good, kind staff, decent breakfast buffet."

Hotel Emion Sapporo

10/10 Excellent

The Knot Sapporo

8/10 Good

"Excellent central location in the heart of susukino, connected to the Sapporo underground walkways. Friendly staff and nice lounge bar. Breakfast was reasonable. If you get a good deal book one of the corner rooms - they have a great view and good value / size for Japan."

Granbell Hotel Otaru

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel is modern & new. Rooms are tight but adequate. Bed is super comfortable. Breakfast is good. Staff are welcoming & accommodating. Parking is the only turn off with very limited lots. Partner parking is inconvenient & expensive. Driving there is Not Recommended."

Onsen Ryokan Yuen Sapporo

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay, the staff were friendly and helpful. However we didn’t add on breakfast during our stay. The real highlight of the hotel was the onsen, it was clean, calm and well designed. It had a dry which very hot. It was great to finish with a cold plunge. There was an indoor and open air sauna, and a shower with a strong stream of water for shoulders and back. Afterward you could use the hairdryers and other products to get ready. The rooms were clean and we liked the nice big windows. As well at the little sitting place. It was the perfect spot to have a coffee or tea in the morning. However there wasn’t much space to hang or store clothing."

Grand Park Otaru

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful hotel, clean,well maintained, great breakfast"

Hotel Monterey Edelhof Sapporo

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful and clean hotel with old-world charm. The location was convenient to Odori Park, Nijo Market, the tour bus pickup point and it was located in a quiet neighborhood. The only confusion was the pick-up location at the hotel. What we thought was the front of the hotel was actually the side of the hotel so a photo sent by our driver helped."

Hotel Torifito Otaru Canal

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast buffet had an amazing variety of fresh Japanese and Western dishes and beverages. Outstanding! The public bathing area was beautiful and well-equipped. The hotel itself is clean and conveniently located to the shopping district and the train/bus station."
