The in room open air bath and beautiful sea view. Bed was firm and comfortable but pillows are bad, providing virtually no support at all. It felt like resting your head on the mattress.

It was a really comfortable and cosy stay with my family of 6. The bedrooms were spacious with the 3 queen beds, and the futon beds were also very cosy to sleep with. Heating worked very well too. The space was really clean, like the toilets and the kitchen utensils.

Stayed here for 4 nights at the beginning of our trip around Japan.
We didn't have many interactions with staff other than the housekeeping staff. They were lovely to deal with. The rooms we chose not have cleaned every day. Instead, we would put our dirty towels, etc. In a bag outside our room and we would return in the afternoon to fresh clean towels.
The size of the room was good. We had almost more room that we could use.
Location: It was not on the main street in Otaru, ocer a few instead. That was perfect for us. We realised there was a covered walkway/ shopping street that was very convenient to keep out of the weather.
The shower had really good water pressure!
Having spare blankets within easy access was really good.

I really liked Otaru, even though it is small and doesn’t have too much to see. It’s really just the main shopping strip and the canal. There are a few museums and some spots in the mountains (there seems to be a ropeway that is poorly advertised but would have been perfect) but that’s about it.
It’s really quite a charming place. The streetscape and history are both fascinating, and the food great - especially ankake yakisoba and kaisendon. I do think it would be an absolutely perfect place to end a trip and unwind for a few days before returning to reality.

A lovely old port town with many original buildings being repurposed for tourism - dining and glass making.
Compact size makes walking around easy but in winter could be snow bound.
Lots of great places to explore old Japanese culture and dining and drinking experiences.
Lots of fresh seafood...many diners around the actual fish market shop with all types of Japanese cuisine... tempura...sakitori...sushi..shashimi...hotpot ...ramen etc..and absolutely amazing bakeries / patisseries and local ice cream and dairy products. Even wineries have opened up.
And even more if you are a winter sports person with ski resorts on the town outskirts...seaon just closed when we were here.
All this a simple train ride from Sapporo Airport -- ok maybe an 2 hour ride...not bad if straight off the plane from Sydney or Seoul or Tokyo into the Sapporo airport.

After coming from the big city of Sapporo we loved the smaller town of Otaru. Planned on just doing a day trip but changed to stay overnight. Wish we had taken a day off Sapporo and added it to Otaru. No lights on the canal as expected but we still loved Otaru. Easy to walk to everything and a lot to enjoy.

We went during winter.
We went during winter. It is a small quiet town and most shops close around 5-6pm. So good to settle dinner early. As a small and quiet town, the place is generally quiet and peaceful after dusk. There is nothing to do after dusk and travelers can take a stroll down the Otaru canal and enjoy the night view.

Give the canal a pass, especially if you have been to Europe. Very underwhelming. Take the local train one stop to Shioya and hike the Shioya Maru-yama. It is about a 6km round trip hike up a local mountain with great views. Take the same train to Yoichi to tour the Nikka Whiskey Distillery and sample great whiskeys in the restaurant after the tour (book reservation for tour ahead of time and remember everything shuts down around 16:00).

The hotel: Great location, staff service facilities and everything you need to support your comfortable stay, a little cosy but expected in the country.
The town is lovely and has now become my most favourite town in Japan, want to be here more, it give me relax, local people are also very nice.
The family room had bunk beds for our kids, which they loved! It was spacious, clean, and comfortable for our family of four. Staff was friendly and helped us with parking and accessing amenities like the baths and breakfast. The baths were convenient and clean; pajamas were included so we could be comfortable walking around the hotel. The breakfast was delicious; my kids enjoyed everything and I appreciated the variety of foods to try. The location was easy walking distance from all major attractions in Otaru.
The whole place is bright, spotless clean and comfortable.
It is in a quiet part of town, so the nights were not noisy even with the windows open.
The location is quite good, accessible to Otaru Canal, Otaru Music Box Museum, Otaru Station, if you are willing to go up/down hill a little, roughly 15-25 mins of brisk walking to any of those places.
Owner is helpful too.
Did I mention it is clean? Even the toilets and bathrooms are clean with no signs of grime or moss!
The location was excellent! Walking distance to train station and direct connection to two shopping areas. The hotel is not in the middle of Otaru town so don’t expect to walk out the door and have access to the attractions. Nevertheless, it was not an issue to take a short train ride to Otaru station.
Hotel is on a grand scale with large rooms and a huge dining area. The staff was very helpful with a few English speakers.
NIcely renovated hotel with an english vibe to it. Staff were friendly.
We booked the loft room for family of 4 and it could easily sleep 6. There is apple TV with projector in the room and we could mirror it with our ipad.
Room is comfortable and feels newly renovated. There is a family mart across the street and it is also within walking distance to Otaru canal and Sakaimachi Dori.
The hotel is close to the river, so you can see the river view from the window directly. Also, It is a historical hotel, because it has old but elegant decorations. The staff there are friendly and professional, they could speak English very clearly and easily to communicate with. In addition, we are lucky that we get the room upgrade.
We stayed in a room with twin bed, it was more spacious than I thought. A set of table and chair, bedside lights and amenities- there were everything we need. Also we appreciated the large communal area and free coffee.
We didn't use it but you will get access to Onsen at another hotel nearby.
- Location! This place is the best at the heart of Otaru attraction street.
- The house is spacious with complete facilities. Big bathroom with bath tub. Very convenient and comfortable to stay.
- Parking is convenient.
- We will definitely stay here again every time we come to Otaru.
Hotel Nord Otaru is classic business hotel. Staff was friendly and helpful. Our room seemed a little small at first, we have no problem staying a night without feeling uncomfortable. All necessities were provided in our room. Nonetheless, we love that bathroom and toilet were separated.
The staff was wonderful and they were nice enough to upgrade our room which was a pleasant surprise. Very walkable and near the canal, shops, restaurants. We wished we could’ve stayed longer in Otaru and will certainly be back to Oooooh Home.
Room view - we got the Room with Canal View and the view definitely did not disappoint.
Room size - the rooms were quite spacious as compared to our other hotel bookings in Japan.
Location - located right next to the Otaru Canal
The place is in the centre of Otaru, near canal and 8 min from the station. In the house there all you need to use, kitchen, bath , tv and washing machine. The host is very kind and helpful. Thank you and I will came back .
My 2nd stay here, the price is reasonable and the hotel is accessible and convenience. The only thing i like to add that one of the room lighting is a little dim compare to the other 3 rooms.
Hotel is just outside Otaru train station. Easy to drop your bag and continue your tour without waiting for check in. Onsen and free food at the hotel is great!
