Shakotan Hotels from S$51

"We stayed at the tatami room with sea view. Staffs were polite. Room was spacious but I hated the tatami mats in the bedroom, it was old and tiny bits of the tatami was everywhere in the room that it got on our clothes and bed. I've stayed in many ryokans around Japan with tatami mats and not once did I experience one that was so poorly maintained. Toilet was old, a little too dark and cold during showering, amenities can be improved. The room was dusty too. Breakfast was moderate but repetitive. Will I stay here again? Probably not."

"Hotel Nord Otaru is located across the street from the canal. It has a good view of the canal, but the ocean view is far away and unimpressive. The rooms are dated. Our shower room smelled like mildew and there was some visible mold on the ceiling. The room size is larger than typical for Japan. The breakfast buffet was mediocre but convenient. The Hokkaido ramen was good. The bar upstairs had a nice ambiance but they were out of several types of alcohol and their signature cocktail. It’s about an 11 minute walk to Otaru Station and about 28 minutes to the Mount Tengu Ropeway. "

"良かった"

"My wife enjoyed the hotsprings and found a nice curry place near by"

"Great location, amazing rooftop onsen with indoor and outdoor pools and sauna. Good breakfast. "

"First time staying in a container hotel. There is a parking lot in front of the room which is convenient."

"The stuff was very friendly. The room was clean, but very small. If you arrive with a small suitcase it is fine. But if you have stuff for skiing you will not find any place or cupboard to store your items. They don’t have a dry room. So you have to leave your Ski equipment in the lobby and the stuff takes care of it."

"The room was great. The staff was supurb. And Jintaro, at the hotel bar, was the best bartender/cocktail artist I've ever had the pleasure of being served by."

"OMO5 is a great base for exploring the city. Just steps from the Otaru Canal and surrounded by shops and restaurants, the location is perfect. Clean, modern rooms and friendly staff made the stay easy and comfortable. Would happily stay again."
