Top Otaru Hotel Reviews

Grand Park Otaru

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."
