A lovely ring to the hotel”
A lovely European feel to both the lobby and the coffee place especially with a name like SONIA. The room we had was directly facing the Otaru Canal and it was beautiful at night when the lights were on. However the height of the room was a little lower than the hotels I have had stayed in my trips. A 6 footer will find the ceiling of the room rather low. Other than that, everything was great. It was also a short walk to the famous street that led to the Music box

Newly built hotel facing Otaru Canal”
The room is very spacious and clean. We got the room that is facing the famous Otaru Canal so we woke up everyday with a great view! Bathroom was spotless and we loved the bath. There was no parking on site but a paid parking nearby, 1200 yen/night. The only downside was that we were asked to pay extra for the "onsen tax" whether we use the facility or not.

Thank you for using our hotel this time. Also, thank you for writing a review of your valuable time. The room you reserved is a room where you can't see the Otaru Canal, Because the room was empty, I assigned it to the Otaru Canal Room. We are also happy to be satisfied during our stay. A complimentary review is a power to us. The next time you come to the nearest place, please select our hotel. Thank you. Hotel Sonia Otaru Kim

Love”
Perfect location for the otaru snow festival, would recommend getting a taxi to the hotel though if the snow is heavy as can be difficult to navigate the icey streets with luggage. Loved the onsens, especially the outdoor one, my friend and I had several moderately small tattoos and had no issue with staff or locals regarding them although we did try to position them discreetly so as not to be too obvious. Perfect position on the canal, we had a lovely view from our window. However my friend and I both found our sinuses were very bad in the room we were in and my friend even got a headache from them, they were almost immediately relieved upon going outside or into the lobby/ other venues. I'm not sure if a cleaning product set them off or maybe the carpet, we are both sensitive to that kind of thing but had no issue at the other 4 hotels we stayed this trip.

The hotel location is good, staffs are friendly and helpful. Was caught out of suprise for their onsen tax. This is the first hotel we encounter with additional onsen tax on top of the payment we have paid in advance.

Thank you very much for your recent stay, and having left the review. We sincerely apologize for the lack of providing information about onsen bath tax; that is enacted by Otaru City Ordinance, which is common in Japan at accommodations with onsen. If you have chance to visit Otaru next time, please use Hotel Sonia Otaru again. Hotel Sonia Otaru Reception
Near Attraction ”
We stayed in DELUXE FAMILY TRIPLE, good size for 4 persons. There is a bath tax charge when check in per person per day, a very small amount (sorry can't recalled $$). Onsen at Level 7 (free) so if take it as offset the bath tax still worth it. Like the hotel will go back again.

hotel with good location”
hotel is located just opposite the canal, you'll get good view without walking out. hotel do offers parking at Y1200 per night flat fee. hotel will charge Y150 per pax for onsen usage, be it you use it or not. breakfast is good, you get ramen, soup, rice, porridge and good selection of bread and fruits. the only downside is - ceiling is low? which is quite strange. if you're taller than 1.8m, please watch your head when entering the room. toilet's basin is super low for some strange reason as well. I'm standing at 1.65m and basin is just above my knee? its time for some major renovation. Hotel looks old but if you're in for history, you'll love it.
