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.

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.

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.
Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025

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.
Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024

8/10

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.

I was rather disappointed with this hotel. The lobby was very nice and open, upon check in, the service was excellent. However, the rooms are quite old, especially the bath room. There were hair and small dirt marks ok the bed sheets, and for some strange reason, the pillow are small and in a square shape (like a small European pillow). The hotel is made up of 3 wings, but only has one small restaurant, so in the morning the line is crazy and the food area is overcrowded. The food choice was very limited as well. The location of the hotel is great, right next to the Otaru Canal, easy walking distant to most of the tourist attraction.
