We love the complimentary ramen at night. But we were disappointed that the staff do not seem to know the area and touristic information well. They gave us advise for 2022-2023 ski bus information and ended we nearly missed the only ski bus of the day to ski resort.

8/10 Very Good! (240 reviews)
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.

We spent one night, travelling between Sapporo and Niseko, to see the Light festival along the canal. We wish we had spent two nights! Otaru is a hidden gem, with lots to see. The lights along the canal are beautiful. The glass shops are lovely!
