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."

"Good location just outside Sapporo’s covered street. Enjoyed the service. I needed help with another hotel and Antony was kind enough to call for me and sort out my issue. Clean, spacious and good views of the mountain. It has lots of convenience stores around including one in the hotel. Parking is free when you stay there too, very convenient. I will definitely consider coming back if I return to Sapporo. The only downside if there’s one is that you need to pay for the onsen but I did enjoy it."
