Great hotel and location. Canal boat tour just across the street with the Otaru Beer Brewery adjacent. There are many patrons frequenting the Sonia Hotel from many different countries, some of which don't know Japanese culture. Be patient and plan to have breakfast, if included with your stay, early morning 6am or later at 9am. These times are less crowded. If you plan to enter the onsen bath, go at the earliest offered time. Enjoy!

Sadly this hotel was a sheer disappointment. The rooms were in such an inacceptable state, we left after 1 night. Everything was old, dirty, dusty and mouldy.
Our bedding was stained upon arrival and had to reuest they be changed. All the walls were marked and stained, it was dusty and tuere was mould in the shower.
Completely unacceptable for the conditoon of the rooms. They did not reflect the rating or the advertised photos.

Very convenient location between the rain station and the main attraction street.
Very cozy cute hotel.
The bathroom was super small though.
Breakfast buffet was pretty good and well organised, online waiting room really helped.
Per my understanding parking is limited, but we did not have a car. View of the canal was nice.
Onsen was pretty small, but at least not that crowded. No sauna and both baths were pretty hot.
Other than that, I would stay there again.

Spacious Room

Nice large room and good amount of space as we were recommended this hotel by friends. Fixtures are dated but functional. Great view of the canal from our room! My only complaint is the layout of the bathroom with the toilet in front of the doorway I tripped and fell on the hard tile floor. Consider reversing the door swing so that the toilet is not immediately in front of the opening.

I was rather disappointed with this hotel. The lobby was very nice and open, upon check in, the service was excellent.

However, the rooms are quite old, especially the bath room. There were hair and small dirt marks ok the bed sheets, and for some strange reason, the pillow are small and in a square shape (like a small European pillow).

The hotel is made up of 3 wings, but only has one small restaurant, so in the morning the line is crazy and the food area is overcrowded. The food choice was very limited as well.

The location of the hotel is great, right next to the Otaru Canal, easy walking distant to most of the tourist attraction.

Average Japanese hotel, complicated parking.

The hotel is not new but reasonably maintained. Mattresses are a a bit squeaky. Overall a clean place. We didn’t use the onsen. We came with a small baby. It was a rainy day. We appreciate it was an hour early for check in, and no problem with us. But showing the reception staff that there are no cars at all in the parking lots they still asked us to go away, park in a public car park, and come back to park at the time of check in. Rules may be rules, but really…? Eventually we parked, but when we drove out in the rain on our rerun found there was no longer parking for us, as we hadn’t reserved our spot, only paid. We found parking in the end, but why so complicated? Anyway, we do not recommend this hotel for guests with a car. Parking in Japan is relatively inexpensive and not complicated, except here.
The breakfast we also rate below average for both Asian and European standards, but not a deal breaker. Lots of other breakfast places nearby.
I seldom write such reviews. Otaru is a charming town and worth visiting.

Not up to expectations

Had a unpleasant stay.
1. No complimentary mineral water in room
2. Front desk does not help to arrange yamato delivery to other hotels (all other hotels does help and no issue)
3. Taxi service - you have to call yourself using their taxi phone (all other hotels help you to call and arrange taxi)
4. Rooms very dated and not refurbished. Walls are stained. Furniture full of scratches and missing handles. Toilet have musted smell and very budget feel.
5. Air humidifier is bad condition and made noises/sound during 1st night stay. Keep making us and kids wake up.

Please improve on your guest experience and service offering.

2 big, 1 medium luggages and 1 stroller.
Booked 3 nights, I stayed one night and booked another neigbour hotel for the other 2 night stay which was fantastic!
Only saving grace is the good breakfast and service at the restaurant. That is why it is 2 star.

Not as good as my first visit. Wouldn’t use again

I stayed here a couple of years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. This time however was a different experience. In my opinion, their standards have dropped. I discovered that half the hotel consisted of older rooms. We were on the north side, try to avoid it. A bit shabby to say the least. They charge the same price for them though. Seems to be luck of the draw which one you get. They boast free parking too, but so few spaces it seems impossible to get one, as people in the know seem to be able to pre-book them with cones. So factor in 1000 to 2000 yen to park your car in an offsite pay car park.
Public bath is far to small for the size of the hotel. Practically impossible to get a locker or a washing place at both times I attempted to go. I gave up.
Plus side is that I enjoyed breakfast, nice selection, though the restaurant is quite small for the hotel size so very busy at times.
Better to go earlier I think.
I think there are better options in the area, to be honest.

My wife and I stayed two nights in a room in the south building, seventh floor. The room was small but comfortable and had a view of the canal. The room, especially the bathroom, needs updating. Check in was quick, and we parked our rental car in the hotel’s small lot behind the hotel (parking fee was 1,200 yen per day). We enjoyed most the onsen on the seventh floor of the main building. We didn’t eat at the hotel, so I cannot comment on the hotel’s restaurants and the food and service. Instead, there are numerous restaurants nearby; we liked best the Otaru Brewery.

Fairly new facility and amenities. Location was great. Very close to the canal and the main street with variety food choice. Water quality makes the onsite bath great. Breakfast was great as well. We hope the hotel provides shuttles to the Otaru station. Even with limited English speaking staff, we would come back next time. Thanks for the making good memories in Otaru.

Good to stay

Needs 10-15 minutes walking from train station. Room's space is ok for two people and big luggages. Hot spring at 7 floor is good for traveller who needs relax bathing.

Perfect location: right in front of the canal. There are lots of restaurants and shops within walkable distance. Staffs were nice. The room was clean, comfortable, and roomy.

小樽運河が丸見えるビューはとても良かったです。大浴場は若干狭いけど天然温泉が凄く良かったです。
でも全体的古過ぎます。昔から一度は泊まって見たいなぁと憧れがありましたがとにかく部屋は古くて不便でした。
特に浴室は段差があり、危ないし、洗面台は太もも位の高さで子供の高さに合う程でした。
スタッフ対応はとても親切な感じはありませんでした。朝食はまあまあです。
値段が安い方でコスパは良いと思いますがまた泊まりたい気持ちはありません。

房間好清潔,面對運河景不錯,遊覽方便。泊車先到先得 不預留,不過附近亦有停車場選擇。

唯一缺點,廁所太細太窄,坐著時膝蓋貼着牆壁。
