The hotel is located very centrally - only one block away from the Otaru canal. The immediate area featured tons of dining options. The room was small but very clean and functional. My only very minor complaint is that there is no coffee maker in the room. Everything else was great and I would definitely stay there again.

The room we stayed in had a very strong odour that couldn't be ventilated. Unfortunately by having the window open for ventilation it created a constant high pitch noise affecting our sleep. The hotel location is amazing, however the cleanliness of the room is a big let down.
