Dormy Inn Premium Otaru Natural Hot Spring(Reopening on August 1, 2026)

The hotel is super close, right across the street from JR Otaru Station. LeTAO is also conveniently located next to the hotel entrance. The hotel breakfast was delicious, offering Hokkaido's unique sashimi and other local specialties. The water in the public bath's hot spring was wonderfully smooth and incredibly relaxing. We arrived in Otaru around noon, took one more JR stop to Minami-Otaru, then walked back, exploring the shopping street and canal before returning to the hotel for a soak. All the day's fatigue just melted away. There was even soba noodles served at 9:30 PM, and the line was quite long; everyone seemed to go for it.

The room was a bit small, and there were hairs on the towels. However, the hot spring was great; it's rare to find one like this in the city center. They also offered complimentary ramen, ice cream, and comics at night. The breakfast was quite luxurious for a business hotel, but we had to wait for a table.

Right outside JR Station, super convenient. We stayed here 9 years ago too. Breakfast was great, and we booked a Japanese-style room. The hotel has an onsen on the upper floors, which was lovely. It's an easy walk to Otaru's city center, and there's a bus stop right across the street for Mt. Tengu.

Considering it's right across from the station, the outdoor hot spring area is surprisingly well-designed to create a sense of tranquility amidst the bustling surroundings – it's a really nice touch. The breakfast, especially with its Hokkaido-style seafood, is exceptional. You can literally have as much salmon roe and salmon as you want! Plus, the nearby supermarket is very budget-friendly and offers incredible value for money. Highly recommend.
