2-Starhotels in Otaru

"I wasn’t exactly thrilled with the idea of a shared bathroom but the description of the facilities and furnishings intrigued me. When I checked in at Little Barrel I was immediately enthralled by the uniqueness of the decorations. It was indeed a pleasure to stay here and the numerous photos I took of the place can attest to that. And the shared bathrooms that I was so concerned about? It didn’t turn out to be a problem at all. The common bathrooms are maintained at a very high level of cleanliness and equipped with the latest toilet features. So if like me, you are interested in staying in esoteric places you can give Little Barrel a try!"

"Stayed at Sho Inn for 1 night in Otaru. It’s a little out of the way from the Otaru station if you do not drive, but they offer shuttle service to the Otaru Canal and Otaru station when you check out! The host Hideshi was incredibly kind, even going the extra mile to bring my neck pillow, which I had accidentally left in the accommodation after check out, to the Otaru station at my preferred time that evening. It was a gesture testament of the great hospitality of the Japanese. Would definitely recommend this place especially if you’re a solo traveller / prefer your own private space instead of going to those hostels with double deckered beds and curtains!"

"建議定下鋪 上鋪沒有隔板 上面是牆 前台有個小哥很帥 讓我犯花痴 床很好睡 室內有點冷 因為衹有一處暖風口 空調好像沒有運轉 wifi幾乎沒有信號。。一樓是酒吧 可以免費點酒但我沒試過 一樓可以看到外面的景色 這條街絕美 很幸運來到了這裏 雖然離南小樽很遠我要拖着行李箱走將近一公里 還是上坡路 但是價格很好 我愛小樽"

"Het ligt heel dicht bij station Otaru en is een goede uitvalsbasis om het kanaal, Tenguyama, etc. te bezoeken. Er zijn winkelstraten en vismarkten in de buurt, met veel heerlijk eten."

"Location: Around +/-30 mins walk from JR Otaru station and bus interchange. Very steep uphill slope covered in thick snow and slippery icy pavements. Fortunately, kept luggage in the locker in JR Otaru station before heading to accommodation. Every room is housed in an individual container. Ideal place to stay during spring, summer and autumn. Attraction: Great if one is driving as most attractions are quite far from this accommodation. Unless you know which bus stop the sightseeing bus or bus to Mt Tengu Ropeway will stop at, best is to take these buses from the bus interchange at JR Otaru station which is around +/- 30 mins walk from the accommodation."

"This apartment offers a practical and comfortable stay, especially for those looking to explore Otaru on foot. We appreciated the basic utensils and cutlery provided, making it easy to prepare simple meals. The thoughtful inclusion of toothbrushes and toothpaste was a nice touch, and the microwave was handy for quick reheats. Comfort is well-addressed with one air-conditioner and a heater, ensuring a pleasant temperature regardless of the weather. The washing machine was a huge convenience, and we had options for drying clothes either on the hanger stand inside the room or on the balcony. The location is a major highlight, being within easy walking distance to both Otaru Canal and Sakaimachi Street. We also found it convenient to have a Lawson and various eateries nearby, though it's a good idea to check their opening hours as they can vary. Important Considerations for Your Stay While the location is excellent, it's important to note that the road leading to the building is steep. This could be particularly challenging if you're driving, and we would not advise driving during winter due to the road conditions. For those with a car, there are two parking areas available. The closer one has three slots, while a slightly further option offers approximately 12 slots. Keep this in mind, especially if you prioritize a closer parking spot."

"Ga Otaru Station uit, ga rechtdoor naar rechts en als je een tuinachtige weg ziet, ga je de helling naar rechts op en je komt aan. Maar de weg voor het station is niet gemakkelijk te lopen, het is hobbelig! Zeer Japans hotel. De eigenaresse heeft een goede instelling. Geschat wordt dat de belangrijkste gasten Japans zijn. Kan geen Japans spreken, het zal vervelend zijn! De kamers zijn erg basic. Relatief arm. Ik heb hetzelfde gezien in andere kamers."

"Looking for parking lot is difficult in winter season! Need to more information for public parking lot. Some of parking lot is not available."
