Hotel Nord Otaru

Det var ett hotell över förväntan, med väldigt fina rum rum . Hotellet kändes väldigt nytt och fräsct, personalen pratade bra engelska vilket underlättade för oss, de låg endadt nåra minuters väg från tågststionen och hafeben fin utsikt över hamnen och havet.

The worst and most uncomfortable hotel I have ever stayed at in Japan. The carpets and curtains were extremely dirty, with visible mould on both the curtains and in the shower room. Considering the price of hotels in Japan, this hotel was not particularly cheap either, especially as breakfast was not included. I had the worst two nights of sleep during my stay here.

小樽駅から徒歩圏内。運河フロント。ロビー広くステンドグラスが素敵。Pあり。部屋は広いとは言えず、レトロ感あり。ペントハウスにバーありステキで眺望良好、満席になりやすく閉店も早いので注意。

部屋が広い

We were surprised to not find a closet in the room but instead a coat rack with hangers. The hotel did not have a luggage rack and expected us to open our suitcases on the floor. After some discussion, they brought in a table for our cases. There was only one pillow per person on the bed which is unusual these days. The room decor felt dated and in need of a major furniture overhaul, in spite of the grandiose impression of the exterior. These were the negatives but the positives were the bright breakfast room with its hard working staff. Also, a thank you to Kamul for translating for us from English to Japanese to the other hotel staff and for his restaurant recommendations.
