Grids Premium Hotel Otaru
9.0 (1,373 reviews)

Grids Premium Hotel Otaru ★★★★

📍 1-3-13 Inaho, Otaru

"The hotel is in a great location, just a short walk from the Otaru Canal and the shopping street. There is also a convenience store right downstairs, which is very convenient. However, parking is quite limited, so it may be difficult if you’re traveling by car. The biggest downside is the bathroom. The toilet and shower are combined into a very small unit, making it feel cramped. The hairdryer is also quite weak and takes a long time to dry your hair. I also wasn’t impressed with the provided shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, so I’d recommend bringing your own toiletries if possible. Overall, the location is excellent, but the room amenities could be improved."

Hotel Torifito Otaru Canal
9.0 (1,406 reviews)

Hotel Torifito Otaru Canal ★★★★

📍 5-7, Ironai 1-chome, Otaru

"It was pretty good. There's a public bath on the first floor, separated for men and women. It's conveniently located between the canal and the station, less than a 10-minute walk away. The room was a bit small, and it would have been better if the humidifier wasn't there as it took up space."

Grand Park Otaru

Grand Park Otaru ★★★★

📍 Chikko 11-3, Otaru

"Nice view and nice room"

The Stay Yuki

The Stay Yuki ★★★

📍 4-chōme-1-10 Inaho, Otaru, Otaru

"We were very surprised by how good this hotel was for the price. It is no frills, has no front desk staff, and seems more like an air bnb than a hotel. The room was massive and had everything we needed for a one night stay; I’d recommend this hotel for a large group staying in Otaru"

Dormy Inn Premium Otaru Natural Hot Spring(Reopening on August 1, 2026)
9.2 (1,124 reviews)

Dormy Inn Premium Otaru Natural Hot Spring(Reopening on August 1, 2026) ★★★★

📍 3 Chome-9-1 Inaho, Otaru

"The room was a bit small, and there were hairs on the towels. However, the hot spring was great; it's rare to find one like this in the city center. They also offered complimentary ramen, ice cream, and comics at night. The breakfast was quite luxurious for a business hotel, but we had to wait for a table."

Hotel Nord Otaru
9.1 (499 reviews)

Hotel Nord Otaru ★★★★

📍 1 Chome-4-16 Ironai, Otaru

"Hotel is in an excellent location with views of the canal and the sea. Rooms are moderately big. Mechanised carpark is also very convenient. Highly recommended!"

Granbell Hotel Otaru
9.0 (285 reviews)

Granbell Hotel Otaru ★★★★

📍 1-1 Sakaimachi, Otaru

"The room is small but cozy, perfectly fine for one person. The location is also great, right at the end of the canal. It's not noisy around here, and a 7-Eleven is just a three-minute walk away."

Otaru Kourakuen
9.7 (230 reviews)

Otaru Kourakuen ★★★★

📍 5 Chome-18-2 Shinko, Otaru

"An absolutely worthwhile night! The private onsen was high quality and the hotel offered great privacy. Both meals we had were delicious, and the service was excellent. The scenery was breathtaking. It was one of those places you never want to check out of. They even offered complimentary snacks upon departure, and the bar had a wide selection of food in the evening. Strolling in the snow after dinner was also beautiful."

Guesthouse Otaru Wanokaze Hotels in Otaru

Guesthouse Otaru Wanokaze

"The price is not low, but it is basically the most backward and ordinary hotel I have ever stayed in. Because the room is very crowded, it can only fit two single beds, and the toilet is shared and at the door, which is very inconvenient. The bathing is also shared, in the corridor, separated by men and women. There are no bath towels, you need to go to the front desk to buy them. The price of the hotel is basically no other living services except sleeping, all of which are charged. The boss is an old lady who is not very mobile, so it is quite troublesome to check in and check out, which is quite time-consuming. It is recommended that young people who like efficiency avoid pits. The only advantage is the retro style"

Otaru Asarigawa Onsen Hotel Musashitei Hotels in Otaru

Otaru Asarigawa Onsen Hotel Musashitei

"Overall good. The breakfast is rich and recommended. Remember to book the hotel free bus in advance. It runs once a day at 9:30 in the morning to Otaru JR Station, which is very convenient. But I suggest that the first floor hot spring ♨️ would be more perfect if it provided facial cleanser, moisturizing water and body lotion."

Winkel Village Hotels in Otaru

Winkel Village

"I booked the most expensive room, which cost over JPY80,500 per night. It had an open-air bath, but the bathtub was too small and the water was not hot, so I didn’t know how to use it. The entire house has two floors of usable space, and it is claimed to accommodate up to 7 people, but in fact the house is very small, with a total practical space of less than 50 square meters on the two floors, and there are only two toilets and one bathroom. There were 6 adults in total, and it was completely insufficient. We had to drive to a nearby large bathhouse to take a bath. In addition, the attitude of the waiters in this hotel is extremely bad. They always communicate via email in Japanese. When I reply to them in English, I only receive responses in Japanese. It feels like they are just trying to make money and have always made things difficult for customers with their service, which affected my holiday mood during my precious trip."

Grids Premium Hotel Otaru ★★★★
"This is my 2nd time I stay in this hotel. I stay here 2 years ago. This time I booked the twin the twin need and the bed is arranged close to each h other without walking path in between. I found out that the facility is a bit run down such as the public bath area. There’s a loud noise not sure is it the sound from the pump. The sauna and outdoor pool is not open at night. The instant coffee provided dues not taste good. The location is ok except not much eating choice near to hotel especially at night."

OMO5 Otaru by Hoshino Resorts ★★★★
"Really enjoyed my stay at OMO5! It's my 2nd time in Otaru, and I stayed at Grids premium before - while the room size is similar, the amenities here are definitely better (very new, smart toilet, the bed is comfortable too!) there's a family mart right opposite & you can also walk to the shopping street + music box museum (it's a straight line so no GPS needed literally). Good location! Really love how chill this little town is & I will definitely come back to OMO5 the next time I am back"

Hotel Torifito Otaru Canal ★★★★
"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."

Grand Park Otaru ★★★★
"Connected to the hotel is a big shopping mall, which makes it easy to get food or go for shopping. Hotel is a bit aged, with the late 90’s type of decor. Parking is convenient, so for those who do self driving, this is one of the better locations."

The Stay Yuki ★★★
"Pros: The location was great, very close to Otaru market, within walking distance. Having a dining table was convenient for meals. Cons: In the room, the shower drain was a bit concerning. The area around the shared microwave outside the room was messy. However, considering the price, I think I can overlook these issues."

Dormy Inn Premium Otaru Natural Hot Spring(Reopening on August 1, 2026) ★★★★
"Right outside JR Station, super convenient. We stayed here 9 years ago too. Breakfast was great, and we booked a Japanese-style room. The hotel has an onsen on the upper floors, which was lovely. It's an easy walk to Otaru's city center, and there's a bus stop right across the street for Mt. Tengu."

Otaru Kourakuen ★★★★
"The entire stay was a dream. I can only recommend going here. It was very pricey for us but well worth it. The staff is exceptional, the facility beautiful, the food fresh and local and the atmosphere pure relaxation. If I had to pick something that could be improved, it's that the bonfire could run a little longer in the summer to enjoy it after dark."
