10 Top-Rated Japanese guest houses in Otaru, Hokkaido
Once the flourishing trade center of colonial Hokkaido, Otaru is characterized by its canal lined with old western-style warehouses. Today, the canal still bustles, but now it’s travelers as opposed to merchants who frequent the waterway; and the stone buildings that once stored goods now harbor museums, stores, and trendy eateries.

A delightful hostel in a residential area of Otaru
Reviewed By Paleo1963A delightful hostel run by students from the local Otaru University of Commerce. I had originally imagined this place to be a shabby student dig but the property, a newly renovated house once lived by the CEO of a local company, was better equipped and maintained than some of the hotels I stayed in the centre of this town. As I felt tad too old for a dormitory experience (I had enough of that at school) I opted to stay in a single room. Even in the coldest of seasons the room was warm and cozy, and the bed was comfortable and clean. If you are safety-minded you could ask for a room key, though I found this totally unnecessary as there was always someone looking after the house. There is a large kitchen you can use to prepare food, and unless you are looking to indulge in heavy cooking the facility is more than adequate, and in the living room there was a low table and a kotatsu, a Japanese table with the under-the-table heater and a blanket. You can’t experience this in a hotel normally but it is a traditional winter fixture in Japanese homes. An added bonus of staying here was the chance to speak to the students about their life in Otaru. It was a welcome change to the bland experience I had gotten used to staying in a hotel, and a priceless experience spending time with the young local entrepreneurs.

ほっこり出来るゲストハウス
Reviewed By melros9ゲストハウスですが、一人部屋や二人部屋もあり、充足するなら個室を取った状況となります。 共用のリビングはそこそこ広く色々な物も置いてあるので楽しく過ごせます。 オーナーさん？のおばあさんも素敵で、いろいろ話しやすくとても楽しい滞在となりました。

散策自駕兩相宜的復古洋房
Reviewed By Teng C整間據說是百年洋房改建，所以有些地方感覺很有歲月的痕跡，幸好衛浴床鋪這些也都有徹底的翻新，住起來還是相當舒適。一樓有充滿復古裝潢與器具的客廳和設備齊全的廚房，不過一樓外側的廁所門是毛玻璃所以燈一開外面就看得很清楚。有會說中英日文的服務人員與停車場，距離南小樽車站比小樽近，附近餐館也很多。

Otaru Guest House "Yarn" a 6-minute walk from Otaru Station. Otaru Canal is also 3 minutes on foot and it is a very convenient accommodation for sightseeing.

A delicious trip is recommended.
Not so happy stay
Reviewed By lel0525The guest house was quite a long walk from JR. Its ok if you dont have a lot of luggages but if you do then you'll feel the strain. Upon arrival to the guest house, I find out Reception is closed until 3pm. So if you dont want to waste your time waiting or carrying around luggages, you just leave the bags at a rack outside the Reception desk (the guest house is completely closed and no one will come at the door even if you ring the bell). Btw, this 10am to 3pm is a rule. Meaning even if you stay there for a couple of nights, you need to get out. No sleeping in bec guest house is closed for cleaning and everyone must go. If you arrive at night - the elevator from the 1st floor will be closed as well. There is no elevator inside the guest house so accesibility might be an issue for PWDs or elderly. Elevator is also old so you need to keep pressing open or the floor you want yo go to in order for it to operate. To go to Otaru Canal and the Sakaimachi St will be another long walk. So if you are in for a hearty exercise, good for you. The guest house also does not provide towel, toothbrush or sleepwear so bring your own. Room is pleasant and bed was decent. Bathroom also smelled nice and was clean. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash were provided.

So heartwarming
Reviewed By m_chaloeThank you so much for the care and smiles you've given us :) It was warm and comfortable. And the hosts were the friendliest! We enjoyed chatting and sharing time with them so much. Everything was clean and many informations were given to us. Even during a snowstorm, it is not far from the center, station, and park. The snow resort Tenguyama is 15-20 minutes walk, or 5 minutes by bus. It is possible to eat nearby; the convenience store and post office are really close.

Fabulous! Especially nice and warm welcome.
Reviewed By PPdiscoverFirst of all, I did not quite high expect for this rate which I pay. But "Ding" the one, might be owner, who welcome me made everything higher than that. Room is resonable usage even too tiny for someone, really clean, have no air-con but not effect me in September, Shower room and toilet are super clean, nice wooden style, and all available for supporting us. I will not ask more from Otaru, Opopo made it PERFECT already. More than thank you.

A small apartment with tiny stairway to room
Reviewed By shirlenep2014The place is about 5min walk from Otaru station. Room is spacious. Gotta climb up a steep and narrow stairway to reach room on third floor. There r two rooms on third floor with shared kitchen, toilet and shower. If you have two families, it will be ideal cos whole floor is yours. In each room, there is a queen size mattress on a platform, and a double deck bed. Total can sleep 4. Toiletries provided r shampoo, conditioner n body soap only. Hair dryer n curler r provided. There is a washing machine but no dryer. Owner is friendly and he will help to carry the luggages up. When checking out, remember to let owner know what time so that he can arrange for the luggage to be carried down.

古民家を改装したゲストハウス
Reviewed By Yukio Aじゃらん経由で予約。ドミトリー、朝食付きで２５００円。宿の位置は小樽駅から徒歩圏内。ただ宿の手前には急な上り坂がある。建物自体はオーナーの説明だと築８０年。セルフリノベーションしたとのこと。オーナーは夜１０時から朝７時まで不在。緊急時の対応の説明はなかった。朝食はトーストに目玉焼き。あまり期待しない方がいい。
