    The hotel had great style. It was also in a great location, right on the canal. We could see the canal and the sea from our room. The hotel staff were all amazingly friendly and helpful, supplied us with amenities such as face creams and razors etc. they were very happy to store our luggage after we checked out. Check in and check out was a very smooth process and the hotel is easy to navigate. We did not use the bar, but I have heard from locals that it is good and has good cocktails.

    The very warm welcome and the location. It was very close to the canal and all the shops there. Despite that, the homestay was still on a quiet street. The cats were super cute too. The beds were super comfortable and there is a fridge and water dispenser right outside the room.

    A historic building with great character. The owner of the homestay has a restaurant on the first floor and can provide timely assistance. There is a double room and a 6-person room on the 2nd floor. The living room and kitchen are on the third floor. The rooms are comfortable and the stairs are steep, recommended for younger groups.

    Really hospitable owner who is also knowledgeable about Otaru. I was recommended to lots of good restaurants and touring places in the area so my dinner choice was easy. Extremely clean and tidy room with beautiful views especially when it’s snowing outside. Had to catch 7am train but the futon was so comfy that I almost had to delay lol. The best home stay experience I’ve had so far and would definitely would recommend to family and friends. 10/10 for the stay and 12/10 for the lovely interactions.
