This is a really nice place. The building itself is architecturally wonderful.n As soon as you walk in there a calm vibe and the staff are really helpful and so nice. And that calmness permeates into their rooms. The room was clean, nice bed and the shower tub was a decent size. I highly recommend this place if you're in Otaru.

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!

Nice breakfast high tea style. Staff were very helpful. Stayed in the loft room for a family of 5. The loft was half height which was fun for the kids. Overall the room space was a bit tight but sufficient. Washing machine and dryers were pay per use.

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.

This was a lovely stay in Otaru. Pleasant staff and our room was unexpectedly ready early (rare in Hokkaido). The free wine in the lounge is a lovely perk. Rooms are small but functional with hot water showers. Could use a bit more storage in the bathroom, but we made it work. Staff are all friendly and the breakfasts were massive and delicious. Thanks for the great stay!

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.

8/10 Very good

I was a little turned off Unwind when I first arrived but the place grew on me. When we walked into the lobby we were hit with a strong smell of air freshener. Our room had dark curtains drawn and the A/C made a high-pitched noise. Once we opened the curtains and the windows and turned off the air conditioning, we felt a little better and the annoying noise eventually went away. The large staff was very nice and helpful throughout our stay. I had a cold and they gave me honey and lemon at breakfast and at the bar. One night the bartender went to great trouble to fix a cup of hot honey-sweetened lemonade for me. It was very soothing for my sore throat. Breakfast was in a large, pleasant room with stained glass windows and lots of light. the meal came on a three-tiered platter and included a mix of Western and local specialties, including mini scones and omelets, potatoes, soup and vegetables. They accommodated my dairy-free diet. In all, we felt pampered and taken care of and were truly able to unwind. The location was convenient, a 10-minute walk from the train station and just a few minutes from the canals, art museums and restaurants.
