Average room size and facilities with a few dining options in hotel, but very close to great shopping district. Overall worth the budget for staying in a leisure trip. Friendly staff and surprisingly good high tea style breakfast!

A quiet and peaceful hotel that has modern vibes. There is a free wine hour at the bar that I was able to get. It was really nice to hang out and have a glass of wine to wind down after venturing around and exploring. I also received a free drink ticket. The drinks were limited but I still appreciated getting this "VIP" experience. I loved the vibes of the hotel and my room was very nice.

The hotel is situated in a very convenient location, just a few minutes walk from the canal and the famous shopping street. Though it’s small, it’s very cozy and clean. I definitely will stay here again if I go to Otaru in the future.

Nice friendly staff.
My stay in unwind was very nice and amazed. Not only the room but the staff was really friendly and helpful. I forgot my stuffs in my previous hotel and Akita San from Unwind had provided me lots of help checking with previous hotels for the language barrier. I really appreciated it.

Fantastic location. We had to park our rental car in a pay lot across the street, but no big deal (no in-out allowed, but we were walking distance to everything we came to see). I had problems with the washer in the laundry room, but I think I might have overloaded the machine. The breakfast was delicious! Overall, I highly recommend it!

Charming and wonderful hotel!
Charming and wonderful hotel. We stayed in a loft room, which was clean and had a great view. The parking was adjacent, and it was only a few minutes on foot to the canal and tourist attractions, which made my 80-year-old mother, who has mobility issues, very happy. The breakfast for my daughter with multiple allergies was also adjusted to her needs, which was a big help. The bar right as you enter had a great atmosphere, and we enjoyed local whiskies such as Yoichi, which can only be found there. The only issues were that the wall-projection TV was a bit confusing to use and the changing room was slightly cramped. We will definitely stay here again next time. Thank you for your hospitality.

The room was small, but the high ceiling made it feel airy and pleasant. The fact that the toilet and bath were separate was excellent. Expedia states that Gold members may receive an upgrade if there's a room available, but the hotel claims they do not offer upgrades to Expedia gold members. I felt embarrassed asking for an upgrade.
