The hotel is near Lawson. The staff is friendly and helpful. They would help to carry the luggage when you arrive or leave. Only one thing, the bathroom is not bright enough. The other things are okay.
Very good hotel. Service was great. Check out the bakery for some nice Japanese style breads in the morning. Major Otaru attractions are a short walk away. Elevators could be very busy during high traffic times.
A great place to stay if you are flying late into or have an early flight out of CTS. Hotel is dated, but very clean. Very convenient to shopping and dining at CTS depending on the time of day you are there. Restaurants and shops closes by 9p.
The front desk agent, Ms Umeda helped me a lot when I had a trouble. She helped me and save my Japan trip!
Thank you so much!!
This is our second time to stay at Authent Hotel, convenient location and loved the Polo Star top lounge. Nice view and so relaxing after long walking sightseeing.
The hotel looks and feels dated. Bathroom could have been brighter.

Otaru top stay
The STAFF are amazing they were the BEST, helped all the time. We only stayed one night but would stay again. Having the breakfast food option was great too.
Convenient location. Just 2 min walk to the scenic Otaru canal, and lots of nice restaurants. Hotel staff is nice, speaks good English, and has arranged Japanese style room with tatami as requested. Great fun for a family!
