GGuest UserSpecial thanks to Richard and Ms. Zhou for their hospitality.
From the beginning, Mr. Li was renovating his own courtyard on the second floor. When he saw me, he asked me ”hello, is that you?”.
My luck started.
He also picked flowers for me, borrowed a charging cable, and prepared breakfast.
This morning, Ms. Zhou invited me into the house for coffee☕️. I drank more than one cup. It felt like home.
I felt very lucky.
Soon after I checked in yesterday afternoon, they drove by.
Took me to Otaru. I saved the time waiting for the bus. So I had plenty of time to visit Tengu👺 Mountain.
Mr. Li and Ms. Zhou kept introducing me to scenic spots and transportation precautions ⚠️
Thanks again.
Next time is when winter comes.
Now I have boarded the ship from Tomakomai to Oarai🛥️
SSongrentoudehaopengyouสงกรานต์Because of the soaring housing prices during the Sapporo Snow Festival, I chose to stay in Otaru at a similar price😀
At first, I didn't consider the distance between the canal and Otaru Station. I was really annoyed to drag my suitcase on the skating snow road in Otaru for about 20 minutes. I learned my lesson when I checked out and asked the front desk to help me call a taxi, starting at 700 yen😆
The front desk layout of this hotel is very much like the hot spring hotel in old movies in the 1950s. The souvenirs sold are of good quality but a little expensive. Although hot spring hotels have a hot spring tax of 150 yen per day, they have small gifts such as snacks, which feel like they are worth it😘
The service staff are very enthusiastic. The general decline in the level of the service industry in Japan does not seem to exist in their home, just like the old five-star hotels😁
The breakfast quality is good. Can you believe it? There are fruits and strawberries🍓. On the morning of check-out, they also sent a fried fish. Although I am not used to it, I am still very grateful😂
AAnonymous UserFacilities: There are microwaves and refrigerators in the public area, but please note that the refrigerator is small and cannot hold large items.
Hygiene: Clean and tidy.
Environment: The small window in the room is surprising, and it feels like an oil painting when you look out.
The location is far from Otaru Station/Otaru Canal/Otaru South Station, etc. You need to take a bus to get there. There is a bus stop less than 1 minute away from the hotel. It is relatively close to Tengu Mountain and can be reached on foot. The hotel host provides pick-up and drop-off services to the above-mentioned places during the time period of 16:00-22:00.
SSmile0330The guy at the counter at night was very friendly and, to my surprise, spoke excellent Chinese. This greatly reduced the fear of traveling alone and not being able to speak the language. The tatami room was very comfortable and easily slept six people. There was a large floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the Japanese-style garden. It was a truly immersive experience. I'd definitely visit again if I had the chance.
KKAIHUNGKobe Hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of Minami-Otaru Station and major attractions. The environment is warm and the beds are comfortable, suitable for backpackers and independent travelers. The public space feels like home and allows you to communicate with travelers from all over the world. Although the facilities are a bit old, it is overall clean and tidy, and the CP value is good. It is a good choice for affordable accommodation in Otaru!
SSheila WZJThis hotel was amazing. Super clean and cozy. The room was so big and spacious. Can sleep up to 5 people. Just that the hotel has no elevator, only 2 floors. But still never disappoints me. Highly recommended!!!!!
GGuest UserA perfect experience, the car is at the door of the room, very convenient, not far from the city center, and the service is friendly. The room feels very spacious compared to other hotels. Overall very satisfied
SStripedPumpkinHotel facilities were dated but mostly well-maintained. After spending 2 nights in Sapporo's small hotel room, it was good to have more space to spread out.
Outdoor hot spring was fantastic and the onsen is open till late night - giving guests enough time to enjoy it even after a full day out.
If you've a rental car, the location poses no problem. There is a large, 24-hour market nearby and it's only a quick 15-min drive to Otaru.
The staff were kind and provided ready assistance whenever we needed it.
Only issue I had was noise from the room above us. For some reason, the guests were running around in the room and it was very noisy.
Overall, it's a quaint, old-fashioned hotel with good ambience.
AAnonymous UserThe accessibility and distance from Otaru Station are also excellent.
The Otaru Canal is within walking distance, which is nice.
The bedding was very clean, and the facilities were well-equipped, with a sink, refrigerator, microwave, and everything else perfect for families.
I'd love to stay here again next time I visit.
However, the elevator wasn't working when I was there, so I had a hard time getting to the third floor.
I hope it gets fixed soon, right?
Haha
Anyway, other than that, it was a wonderful stay.
EEng YeowThis apartment offers a practical and comfortable stay, especially for those looking to explore Otaru on foot. We appreciated the basic utensils and cutlery provided, making it easy to prepare simple meals. The thoughtful inclusion of toothbrushes and toothpaste was a nice touch, and the microwave was handy for quick reheats.
Comfort is well-addressed with one air-conditioner and a heater, ensuring a pleasant temperature regardless of the weather. The washing machine was a huge convenience, and we had options for drying clothes either on the hanger stand inside the room or on the balcony.
The location is a major highlight, being within easy walking distance to both Otaru Canal and Sakaimachi Street. We also found it convenient to have a Lawson and various eateries nearby, though it's a good idea to check their opening hours as they can vary.
Important Considerations for Your Stay
While the location is excellent, it's important to note that the road leading to the building is steep. This could be particularly challenging if you're driving, and we would not advise driving during winter due to the road conditions.
For those with a car, there are two parking areas available. The closer one has three slots, while a slightly further option offers approximately 12 slots. Keep this in mind, especially if you prioritize a closer parking spot.
