"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 Gracery Sapporo

10/10 Excellent

"we ended up doing the exec level, the room was super comfortable and very posh, however, our room had no view . It was facing inward toward other rooms. The suite type was very comfortable and as long as you don't care about whats out the window, the room was nice. The club access was minimal but still nice to have and got coffee . evening had beer and wine ."

Sapporo Grand Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful hotel with courteous and friendly staff. Great location"

Grand Park Otaru

10/10 Excellent

"It is very hard to fault this hotel because they have done almost everything right. The rooms facing the sea have a magnificent view, which puts a smile on your face every morning. Plus it is connected to the AEON shopping centre right next to it so it's very convenient especially if you feel like doing some late night shopping or last minute supply replenishment. That said, there are two things that I am not happy about: 1. There are no power outlets or USB ports at the bedside table to charge your phone. 2. One of the light switches is actually linked to the wall power outlet, to which the floor lamp is plugged in. That means whenever I switch off the lights on that side of the room it would also switch off whatever is plugged into that power outlet e.g. laptop / tablet / camera / power bank etc. If these are no big deal to you, then you should really check it out."

SAPPORO HOTEL by GRANBELL

8/10 Good

"硬件设施很好，其他的还好。"

Hotel Nord Otaru

"The hotel was in a very convenient location and our room had a lovely view of the canal. The bed was comfy and it was quiet at night making it perfect for sleeping. The staff at the front desk were friendly and helpful and gave us a great recommendation for dinner. The apple juice and coffee in the lobby were nice extras."

Premier Hotel Tsubaki Sapporo

"The staff were very friendly, and the hotel was very clean."

Sapporo Prince Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Bed was quite comfortable, but several large pillows. The bathtub was massive, perfect for a long bath after a long travel day. The highlight, though, was the well equipped gym. It is one of the better hotel gyms we’ve ever used."
