Otaru Hotels with Free Breakfast

Best hotel of my trip. The service was impeccable and the staff were so friendly and helpful. Everything is so thoughtful. The food was excellent and the room is huge. The onsen was awesome and looks beautiful

March 21, 2026 This is a stunning little seaside hotel. It's about a 20-minute train ride from Otaru Station to Shioya Coast. There are really no restaurants nearby, so when I contacted the hotel in advance, they highly recommended I book their special Japanese-French dinner. The basic price was 8,800 yen per person. Since I was already there, I decided to go all out and ordered the premium set with two extra appetizers for 14,300 yen. I also added two glasses of wine, one Hokkaido-produced and one American, for a little over 2,000 yen. The restaurant, with its breathtaking ocean views, truly delivered an amazing emotional experience. The wind and waves were incredibly strong and it was super cold that evening; the weather was a bit overcast. Our room had a small balcony where we could open the door and sit to watch the sea. The room itself was quite spacious, with a sofa. The pillow was half soft and half buckwheat, so I ended up only using the firm buckwheat side. The mattress was just right, not too soft and not too hard, which was great for my back. Since it was my birthday month, after contacting them in advance, they gave me a beautifully handwritten birthday card. It was a truly touching experience.

Thumbs up! ! ! Superb environment and service! ! We arrived at the hotel later and the driver couldn't find the door and helped us find it, but after a while, a staff member ran down and asked if we had booked a room, really running! ! Then the driver parked the car, then helped us pick up our luggage, and ran up again! ! ! The service was so good that our whole family was stunned! ! Entering the hotel, the air conditioning is very good, because the outside is -10 degrees, but the interior is very warm, and not baked, so very comfortable, the room is not big, but with all the traditional Japanese room things, the furnishings are very beautiful, However, if the luggage is larger and more, it becomes very crowded, but actually feels like home. Because one night two meals, so there is a full dinner breakfast, are exquisite kaiseki cuisine, each meal also have staff to the room in advance to lead us to the restaurant, their own room, no one disturbed. The hot spring area has indoor and outdoor, not big, but enough, we soaked twice and did not bump into anyone, chartered, great! ! After check out, the staff bowed to not see our car! ! There is a traditional Japanese etiquette! ! ! We will definitely come back to experience this one! ! !

1. Hotel is 8mins walk from Otaru train stn/ bus stn. 2. Surrounded with many restaurants and walking distance to Sankaku market, Otaru canal as well as Sakaimachi Hondori street. 3. Room size was just nice, and bed were comfortable 4. Free coffee and biscuits provided from 7am-6pm. 5. For the breakfast you can choose between Japanese or Western breakfast. 6. No self service laundry facility on-site. Overall we had a pleasant stay.

Otaru is definitely worth a one-night stay. There are three shopping streets, not just the single few-hundred-meter canal often mentioned in travel guides. The Sankaku Seafood Market to the left of the station looks much more appetizing than many other places. Heavy snowfall actually makes it less ideal for exploring all of Otaru. The hotel offers a candlelight performance at night, which sets a romantic mood. Paying an extra 200 for that isn't unreasonable. Hotel downside: The room has a lot of motion-sensor lights. If you get up half-asleep at night, they suddenly all switch on, making it as bright as day. You can't turn them off; you just have to wait for them to go out on their own.

This is a comfortable boutique hotel in Otaru. The room is cozy with the barrel the most interesting feature that doubles up as a table and a fridge. The buckwheat pillow is comfortable for a good night rest. What impressed me the most is the breakfast. There is a wide array of food including seafood and fresh milk. Onsen is comfortable too. Overall I will strongly recommend this hotel in Otaru as it’s still new and tip top service and amenities.

Facilities: The hotel is quite old, and while the facilities are in good condition, they aren't exactly modern. Surprisingly, there's a vintage audio system that plays music with a great ambiance from a bygone era. The sound quality also has that classic feel, which I loved. It's definitely worth experiencing this unique charm that other hotels don't offer. Service: Standard hotel service, but they upgraded my room without me even asking, which was a nice touch! Transportation: Even though the hotel is on a mountaintop, they offer a shuttle service to the nearest JR station, which is a huge plus. The Otaru Aquarium is just a few steps away, and the dolphin show is fantastic, plus the penguins are adorable. Scenery: This hotel probably boasts the most unique coastal cliff views in Otaru. It's truly postcard-worthy, and the best part is being able to enjoy it while soaking in the hot spring during the day. The scenery is beautiful and enjoyable. At night, however, you can't see anything. Hygiene: Standard hotel cleanliness. Food: I only stayed overnight and didn't try the food.

Facilities: Ski gear doesn't include ski suits. The overall experience was just okay, probably because it was my first time skiing. Environment: But it was really beautiful. Service: There were a lot of rules, as pictured. I checked in late and couldn't shower in my room. The staff were accommodating and let me use a shower for ten minutes. Hot Springs: The hot springs were fantastic with floor-to-ceiling windows offering snow views. There were also outdoor hot springs, and the sauna temperature was just right. I just didn't like seeing young boys brought into the area.

The hotel is 6 minutes drive from Sapporo international ski resort. It offers onsen, rich breakfast and great services.

I booked for RM150, and this is my best hotel I stayed in Sapporo. The location is near the tourist area but its within neighborhood area, and its uphill. So for anyone with luggage might be struggling a bit if u dont have car. But, the view is amazing, and they gave me a room with snow view as i requested. The room are spotless, comfortable and have personal heater inside. The staff also very friendly and accomodating esp when I asked to borrow a charger. The public bath also big and u might have it all to yourself honestly (not that many guest during my stay). I would love to come back!
