My husband and I stayed here in Feb 2009 for the Snow Festival in Sapporo. Hotels in Sapporo for the Snow Festival were ridiculously overpriced. This hotel is located near the Otaruchikko station, about 25 min away from Sapporo and 7 min from Otaru. Otaruchikko is also a stop on the limited express to/from Sapporo airport, so it was very... more

I went to Hokkaido to see the Yuki Matsuri (Snow Festival). As the hotels in Sapporo were overpriced and they were not as good as the Hilton Otaru, I chose this one and I was really satisfied. In fact, the hotel is located between Sapporo's and Otaru's central stations. That's why it's perfect to see the winter festivals in both... more

My husband, one year old son and myself stayed at the Hilton Otaru for three nights in early February during the Sapporo Snow festival. We decided to stay here rather than in Sapporo, since you can save a lot of money plus get a bit larger hotel room. The hotel is quite nice and well maintained. We had a king... more

This is our second stay at Otaru Hilton. The location brings us back again. The hotel is attached to a local mall, outlet mall (at the grouind level) supermarket, and many restaurants. For those who enjoy shopping in Japan, stay at Otaru Hilton, esp , in winter time, you will love it. If you arrive before 8pm via JR at... more

The Hilton Otaru is conveniently located in the shopping center adjacent to the Otaru-chikko train station. During shopping hours, you can walk between the two without even going outdoors. The hotel is modern, comfortable, service-oriented, and has an excellent restaurant. The views from the ocean-side rooms are worth the additional charge. The rooms are larger than those found in most... more

It was a great find and for the price we paid, it was worth every cent. Though the hotel is not in the main canal area, there is very good connection thro' train and bus. The view from the room was fantastic. Highly recommended. more

The hotel is only 1 hour by train from Shin-Chitose airport. 20 minutes from Sapporo station and 5 from Otaru station. Ideal location to visit both cities, or to enjoy the ski resorts in the area. The rooms are bigs with a great view of the Japan sea on one side. There is a huge mall next door for shopping... more

Although the hotel is not in downtown Otaru, the downtown is easily accessible by bus. The location of the hotel is very good which is next to a huge shopping mall. It also commands excellent sea views. The room is big with good amenities. The food and service are excellent. The price is also reasonable. It is probably the best... more
