Top Otaru Hotel Reviews

Quintessa Hotel Sapporo Susukino

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, walkable to many restaurants and shopping. Hotel parking was convenient as it provided in/out privileges. Would stay again if visiting Sapporo in the future"

Tokyu Stay Sapporo

10/10 Excellent

"This was one of the best hotels we stayed at during our trip. Our room was spotless, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. As an added bonus, we had a wonderful view of the Sapporo TV Tower, which was such a pleasant surprise. What truly made our stay exceptional was the staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly, kind, and genuinely welcoming. They went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. When we arrived, the hotel's parking lot was full, and we weren't sure where to park. Shota (I hope I'm remembering his name correctly) took the time to help us, brought us a map, and patiently explained the nearby parking options. His kindness and willingness to assist made a stressful situation much easier. We also had the pleasure of meeting Minori, who was incredibly warm and sweet. We really enjoyed chatting with them and the rest of the staff. They asked about our travels, where we were visiting from, and even shared wonderful recommendations for places to explore in Hokkaido. Those personal conversations made us feel truly welcome. The free beverage was also a nice touch! We only stayed one night, but we wish we had stayed longer. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Sapporo. The outstanding hospitality alone makes it a place worth returning to."

Hotel Torifito Otaru Canal

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely love this hotel. It is walkable to Otaru Canal and Sankaku Market. We do not have a parking lot on 1st day but it is not an issue as there are plently of options nearby. Family Mart is few steps away. The breakfast was good quality. We enjoyed it very much every morning and picked a 9am slot for non peak timing. The public bath was small and decent."

SAPPORO HOTEL by GRANBELL

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing stay at the Sheraton Grand Hiroshima and would definitely stay here again on our next visit to Hiroshima. Everything was flawless from check-in to check-out. The room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable. It had every amenity we could possibly need, including purified drinking water in the room. We also appreciated that they even provided a luggage scale, which was incredibly helpful before the next flight if anyone needs it. The location is excellent—just a 3-minute walk from Hiroshima Station, making it easy to get around the city and beyond. The front desk staff were exceptionally friendly and were able to arrange luggage forwarding to our next hotel, which made our trip so much more convenient. If you’re looking for a clean, comfortable, and well-located hotel with outstanding service, I highly recommend the Sheraton Grand Hiroshima. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay!"
