楽Home, hotel in Otaru

楽Home enjoys a location in Otaru, 1.2 miles from Otaru Station and 10 miles from Otarushi Zenibako City Center.

Super clean!!! The hotel is a very new building(Sep 2024 built), so everything runs well. The room is really big, and there is a shared living room at floor one for people cooking, eating, or having some tea or beer. The position is also perfect for us, 5 mins walk from JR south Otaru station, 5 mins walk to city central shop street, 5mins walk to Uniqlo Otaru, then you can keep distance from noisy crowd tourists but still easy to everywhere. Meanwhile, there are several nice cafe and restaurant nearby(No tourist type), even a 24hours Sukiya in walking distance, so nobody will go to bed with empty stomach. At last, the host is also super nice, he turned on the heater in advance before we arrive, maked us really warm after 5 mins walk in snow night the first day.

sakurayuki, hotel in Otaru

Sakurayuki offers accommodations in Otaru, 21 miles from Sapporo Station and 29 miles from Shin-Sapporo Station.

Located in the heart of the town. Almost has all the facilities we needed. Would be great if there’s a laundry dryer or a decent hanging place to dry the clothes.

Cat Cafe & Stay Cultus's Home, hotel in Otaru

Cat Cafe & Stay Cultus's Home enjoys a location in Otaru, a 13-minute walk from Otaru Station and 12 miles from Otarushi Zenibako City Center.

Excellent place to stay if you have a car, and especially if you love cats. The Japanese style bedroom is clean and comfortable. Bathroom and shower facilities are technically shared, but since there seems to be only one guestroom, you are really the only ones using them. Host is super polite, and makes an effort to communicate via Google Translate. This place is in a quiet neighbourhood ~20min walk to the canal. It's also a bit of a walk up a slope. Not really an issue if you have a car. Note that the shower is on the other side of the "cat room", and the cats' bedtime is around 9PM, so the owner requests that the guests return/arrive before then. Just something to be aware of. For us, any minor inconveniences are completely offset by being able to spend some quality time at the end of the day with several friendly cats.

    The hotel had great style. It was also in a great location, right on the canal. We could see the canal and the sea from our room. The hotel staff were all amazingly friendly and helpful, supplied us with amenities such as face creams and razors etc. they were very happy to store our luggage after we checked out. Check in and check out was a very smooth process and the hotel is easy to navigate. We did not use the bar, but I have heard from locals that it is good and has good cocktails.
