OMO5 Otaru by Hoshino Resorts

I booked the triple room for 2A2C and the 3 single beds were adequate for us to sleep plus we had a comfortable sitting area with table to snack. The room had ample space to open up both our large luggage. Location wise, no complaints as we could walk to both Sakaimachi St and the canal.

The OMO5 is in a great position to access the canal, the main tourist shopping precinct, and the many restaurants and bars. It’s also well positioned close to bus stops to get to the ski areas. The dining area in the old part of the building is particularly beautiful. Then there was the food, which was equally well presented. Breakfast was a buffet, with mostly Japanese fare, which was nice to see. Breakfast was very impressive Our dinner was exquisite. It started with Japanese/Spanish fusion tapas, then pork with accompaniments, then paella, then a buffet of various dessert treats which were definitely worth finding the room for. Dinner also included nice wine, champagne and non-alcoholic beverages. Our twin room was quite nice and spacious. The shower was magnificent, and rather than being a bolt-on ugly pre-fab bathr

I booked this hotel just to have a nice place to sleep after long day snowboarding in the nearby ski resorts. The hotel was great. Location is 10 minute walk from the main train station and bus station. This is exactly what I needed. There is a nearby family Mart, we can get a little bit crowded at night when everybody is hoarding the place to snack something at night.

Its position in Otaru, the building mixing old & new, the friendly staff, having the drying room for our snow gear, the dining area, the variety at breakfast.

The location is very convenient close to the heart of Otaru. The hotel rooms were also fairly large and comfortable, and the decor was beautiful, with European-style architecture.
