3 km from Otaru Aquarium

"Stair inside the room that can directly goto the other room without door/gate. Feel not safe if stranger live downstair, also not safe if young kids walking around. The toilet without any ventilation fan, make it a bit smelly. Parking area is not big enough for 2 car, maybe is the parking instruction not show clearly how to park the car. The instruction should show how two car parking in the parking area. This house better for those who only need sleep."

Top Otaru Aquarium Hotel Reviews

Hotel Monterey Edelhof Sapporo

10/10 Excellent

"SPA Breakfast"

The Knot Sapporo

10/10 Excellent

"The Knot is a butique hotel located in the very center of Sapporo. I liked the stay a lot. The location is perfect, just next to the main shopping venus in Sapporo but still not that far from main JR station. It's a very wll maintained hotel that givs you vibes of a small, butique, kind of luxury hotel. I also enjoyed beakfasts a lot with a fantatic curry soup, though the choice of meals is the same everyday. Finally, the room was nice, but quite small and not that fancy, though I msut praise the very comfortable bed. Overall a five star stay for me."

Hotel Emion Sapporo

8/10 Good

"The breakfast was good. The hotel is connected to Sapporo station via a covered underground walkway. The hot tub was also very relaxing after a day out."

SAPPORO HOTEL by GRANBELL

10/10 Excellent

"Everything is good"

Tokyu Stay Sapporo

8/10 Good

"We had a fantastic stay and wanted to extend our sincere thanks to the team. The staff is warm, polite, professional, helpful, knowledgeable, kind, and welcoming. The location is great, as it is close to shops and restaurants. I love that we could just sit, unwind, and enjoy the free coffee in the reception area after a tiring day. I also loved all the thoughtful free perks—especially the mini face wash, oil, and other skincare amenities! I highly recommend this place."

Hotel Gracery Sapporo

10/10 Excellent

Onsen Ryokan Yuen Sapporo

10/10 Excellent

"The onsen was amazing and big. Plenty of space for people and they included a cold bath and a dry sauna."

Hotel Torifito Otaru Canal

8/10 Good

"Front desk staff are very helpful! The only issue is about the water machine, which should not be limited to certain hours only, as bottled water is not provided in the room and humans need water around the clock."

Sapporo Grand Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great Location ! Close to all city points of interest. Very helpful staff. Tran at the info desk was so helpful and was able to help us translate when we had a problem with our flight changes. All the correspondence that we received about our flight changes were in Japanese, he helped us translate through the ANA website and the staff at the info desk even helped us print a hard copy of our e-tickets! Thank you for our wonderful stay at the facility. We will stay there again, in the future when we visit for the “ Sapporo Snow Festival “ 😀😊"
