Birthday and wedding anniversary were celebrated together by staying at this hotel. The room was lovely with a stunning ocean view. The bath in the room also offered a great view. Although not a hot spring, the water here was gentle on the skin. Dinner included: - Flounder and vegetable glass - Hokkaido pufferfish and angel hair - Roast Ezo deer meat and terrine - Two types of white dessert The dessert at the end was delicately delicious. A surprise of a beautiful bouquet and cake was delivered to the table, and the staff also celebrated with us! For breakfast, there was a set menu of Japanese and Western dishes, with a mini buffet that included delicious soup curry. The set menu had tasty meat! After dinner, a surprise cake was delivered to the room, and the staff even brought it to us when we couldn't eat it right away. We had a wonderful time in the room as well!

I stayed here with him for one night and two days during our trip. I have stayed in many hotels before, but this one was truly different - the quality was worth the price. I had a dream-like experience. Dinner was a creative French cuisine, but I am a picky eater and nothing really suited my taste. However, the bread was delicious, so I kept munching on it happily. 😊

I went to Otaru and stayed at Hotel Neuschloss Otaru, a resort hotel located on a cliff overlooking the city. The breakfast at the hotel was a mix of Western and Japanese influences, featuring dishes like oven-baked local chicken, seasonal salad, minced pork with pickled vegetables, and onsen tamago (hot spring egg). The flavors were gentle and comforting, perfect for tired travelers. There were several dessert options to choose from, and I opted for the pudding, which had a nice, gentle sweetness. The room itself was lovely, facing the sea with a private bath offering a view of the ocean. However, there were some noticeable flaws like peeling paint and fraying sofa fabric, possibly due to financial difficulties during the pandemic.

The inside of the restaurant is spacious with tables overlooking the sea, creating a calm and luxurious atmosphere. The lunch menu starts at 1,800 yen, which is considered reasonable for a hotel. I opted for the cheapest 1,800 yen lunch, which includes a choice of three main dishes. I chose the pork cutlet curry and only had water to drink since I had to drive. Before the main dish arrived, there was a buffet of fresh and beautifully presented French-style vegetables. The highlight was the incredibly sweet Royce White corn, which was slightly boiled. The curry was not too spicy, but had plenty of mushrooms and a delicious pork cutlet with some fat. After the main course, I had ice cream and coffee. Considering the main dish, buffet, and service, this lunch was definitely worth it. The staff was professional and even made sure my water glass was always full. I left feeling satisfied after the cheapest lunch option!

I stopped by for a break. It's the perfect situation when the sun is setting at this hotel. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time, but you can go all the way to the edge of the pier, although it's dangerous. I had the hotel's orange juice at the afternoon bar. I don't usually drink juice, but the hotel's taste is different. The atmosphere seems nice at night too. I'd like to stay here sometime. Thank you for the meal.

This is probably the fourth time I've stayed here. Looking back, the first time I stayed in a barrier-free room because there were no regular rooms available (the restroom was very spacious and wheelchair accessible, with handrails. The guest room had a view of the ocean, and there were handrails in the bathroom with a guest room view bath). It was quite ahead of its time for barrier-free accommodations several decades ago. The second time, the rooftop revolving restaurant from the bubble era was renovated and split into two rooms, with a very spacious suite room limited to two rooms. The view from the large windows was an ocean view from any angle. Having French cuisine served in the room added to the special experience. A dedicated staff member brought each dish of the full-course French meal to this room on the top floor. The third time was in a junior suite, and on that day, the view of the starry sky from the guest room view bath was breathtaking. It was around ten years ago. This fourth time, I found a special deal where I could enjoy a creative French meal and accommodation at a very affordable price, so I decided to stay again after a long time. The room was smaller than before, but not as cramped as I thought. The check-in staff suggested an upgrade, but it was an additional charge of 3,240 yen per person, so I politely declined. Quite strict about additional charges, I see. When I arrived, I had dinner at the French restaurant at the final time slot of 8:30 pm. The atmosphere made me feel like I had traveled back in time, but the hotel's service was impeccable. The French cuisine mainly featured local Hokkaido ingredients, including seasonal seafood from the nearby sea. The main meat dish was grilled Ezo deer with a red wine sauce, and you could upgrade to beef for an additional fee. The wine pairing was three wines selected by the sommelier for 2,500 yen, which was quite reasonable. The sparkling wine was from the same vineyard as Chateau Margaux in France, and it had a sweet honey-like aftertaste, making it very easy to drink. The sommelier did a great job. The fish and meat dishes paired very well with the wine. Overall, the French cuisine was delicious and satisfying. The freshly baked bread was crispy and fluffy, and the recipe was supervised by the head chef and outsourced to a specialty store. Finally, organic coffee from a farmer in Nimiki Town was served, but since we already had bread, it felt unnecessary. The post-dinner coffee was served in a demitasse cup and had a rich taste in just the right amount. The clientele included a few Asian guests, middle-aged men, and many very young guests. There was a young couple in their early twenties, and the boy seemed to be making an effort to impress his date, which was quite endearing. The girl looked very happy. For breakfast, you could choose between a Japanese set meal or a Western-style plate. The salad and drinks were buffet-style. The rich and flavorful shrimp soup curry was delicious and highly recommended. You could also enjoy unlimited French sparkling wine in the morning! I might become a bad person, haha. This inn offers a wonderful French dining experience, a guest room view bath, and a beautiful sunset view from the room. It has a luxurious atmosphere and is also close to the aquarium, making it a great option for sightseeing in Otaru. On a side note, since we were in Otaru for the first time in a while, we decided to visit the popular soba restaurant Yabuhan. It was as crowded as ever, but I still don't understand why it's so popular.

The hotel in Otaru this time is unexpectedly nice. It's an old Western-style hotel, but the room comes with a bath and the breakfast is quite good. They even serve champagne in the morning. You can choose between Japanese or Western breakfast, and the salad is buffet style. It was delicious. I've said it many times, but I love hotel and ryokan breakfasts.

I'm happy that it's not a buffet breakfast in the morning. I can enjoy a leisurely meal. The locally sourced fruit juice while overlooking the sea was delicious. The highlight of this hotel is that all rooms have outdoor hot springs, so enjoying a morning bath before breakfast was the best.

The hotel was not only good for dinner with accommodation but also had excellent service. Do you want to go somewhere for a special occasion? Hmm, how about dinner and accommodation together? If we go together, it will be fine! We went there. The dinner details could be changed if there are any dislikes, and the service was excellent, with detailed orders for things like commemorative photos and cake timing. The hotel restaurant with an ocean view gets very dark at night, so it's nice to have dinner early in the summer to enjoy the sunset. The atmosphere is important for meals after all! Overall, the food was delicious. I would like to upgrade and go back for another special occasion. Thank you for the meal!

This time, I used it for lunch, and I was able to enjoy a leisurely and delicious French atmosphere, as well as seasonal ingredients.

For a birthday celebration. It seems they are closed during the winter season. The scenery is excellent. The dishes were made using plenty of local ingredients.

New Year's Day breakfast.

I stayed overnight with my family (husband + 2 kids). The facility was a bit old, but the hotel staff were very kind and the food was delicious. Thank you for a great time.

The hotel room was very nice, but the bath water temperature was a bit high. The main meat dish was a bit tough, so that was a bit disappointing. The Otaru beer was light and easy to drink.
