"Stair inside the room that can directly goto the other room without door/gate. Feel not safe if stranger live downstair, also not safe if young kids walking around. The toilet without any ventilation fan, make it a bit smelly. Parking area is not big enough for 2 car, maybe is the parking instruction not show clearly how to park the car. The instruction should show how two car parking in the parking area. This house better for those who only need sleep."

"Great location, beautiful view, the beds were very comfortable. We loved the bathroom/bathing setup. The only thing we were a little disappointed in was the kitchen lacked sufficient equipment for home cooking. Its location is ideal, being a short walk from the train station, the canal, and plenty of shopping options. We loved exploring the alleys of Otaru and having a sanctuary to return home to at night!"

"Hotel is pretty new. Very clean. Room is a little small. Booked superior twin room. Was allocated room on 9th floor which had a beautiful view of the sea. Difficult to hve 2 luggages opened. Very good location about 7 mins walk from Otaru station. When we arrived Otaru it was raining hard, so took taxi to hotel which costs 700 yen. Hotel is also within walking distance (10mins) to Sakaimachi street Otaru canal. Lots of eateries near hotel. Behind hotel is Sushi dori (sushi street).. lots o sushi restaurants. Staff are pretty helpful. Maria is wonderful. She speaks good English n assisted me several occasions to do restaurant reservations."
"I think the overall experience staying at Grand Otaru was pleasant and enjoyable. However, the room we stayed in had a slight odor, and while the ocean view was nice, an old wall partially obstructed the full scenery. The daily buffet could also be improved, especially when compared to the outstanding experience at Tsuruga Forest Akan Resort. Nevertheless, I still gave the hotel 5 stars, as Otaru itself left an unforgettable impression with its magical city vibe."
"It was great experience with Unwind. I like the design of the hotel. Room is clean and well designed whereby I found everything I need. The hotel also offers free wine tasting everyday so please don't miss it if staying with the hotel. "
"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. "
