"Had an amazing stay! Loved our relaxing time there and the city was beautiful. Went on a lovely hike. Hug and Momo were so sweet and such a great treat! The hosts were so welcoming and also had great recommendations for our trip going forward! Would love to stay again! "
"The room, large and spotless was perfect but the downside is the fact that it is a 30.min walk from the station. OK if you travel light with a rucksack."
"The location was interesting and I enjoyed the night walks at the canal. It is admittedly a bit far, hard to walk especially in the snow, but just take note of the bus timings!"
"Room was nice. The issue is the location of the apartment. It was located at the top of the hill. From the map, it seems close to the train station and local attraction. But climb up the hill is an issue."
"Stayed in the western style room with open air hot tub. The room was quite spacious, especially compared to other hotels in Japan. The room came with a massage chair which we enjoyed. The hot tub was on the small side but was able to accommodate two adults, and the temperature was perfect! The dinner and breakfast at the hotel were both excellent. We only stayed one night but would have loved to stay longer"
"For my first stay in Otaru, I wanted a place where I can feel the Japanese vibe in ny accommodation, and this place was perfect for that.
It was expactly what I would expect if I would visit a friend's house in Japan.
The dadami was interesting and once I enter the premise, I was immediately immersed in local Japanese vibe.
The place was very clean and cozy and very close to the main attractions in Otaru.
Everything was within walking distances.
Highly recommended if you want a special...

Top Blue Grotto Hotel Reviews
Sapporo Prince Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Yey, Ofuro (communo bath)! Great high end hotel service and was low price during my stay in July. $150 USD for 3 people 3 beds. They carried our luggages, restaurants were amazing!, with lots of amenities like communo bath, fitness! NOW BE AWARE these issues: additional fee for Ofuro 1000 yen Fitness center 2000 yen. Also NO LIGHT weight for women to work out, only heavy weights available. Now, the building is round (tube like design) so perhaps issues with space, but our room had 3 beds and NOT enough space to walking around with 3 small carry-on luggages to be in the room. No storage or hang space much so you couldn't even get stuff out and close one luggage to create walking space. So if you are coming in with larger than carry on luggage, forget it. No way you ll fit. I think its a deal breaker.Also NO WATER provided in the room so bring your own. "
"This is my best 2 nights stay in Sapporo, I got upgraded with higher levels and the room is clean and spacious (btw this hotel is the only one I noticed they have changed bed sheets and pillows cover for my 7 days family trip) and I was able to store my luggage 2 days before I checked in. Front desk is professional and friendly, btw I was able to do late check out cause wife wants to do some shopping thanks to IHG memberships. "
"The traditional Japanese style room was great and we had a beautiful thirteenth floor view of the green lush mountains. Paddleboarding nearby was also great. Nice town and wonderful people. "
"The staff kindly held our luggage until check-in time, which was a nice convenience on a busy morning. The building is a little dated, but the room and bed was quite comfy. The location, in the heart of the Odori area and close to the subway and streetcar was perfect."
