The facilities and restrooms are relatively old, and during showering, the water temperature suddenly drops. There is also a shortage of parking spaces.

Canal view is essentially a view of a massive loud road with the canal behind it.
Rooms are old, dated and smelly with an entrance door and windows where you need to bend down to enter and see through. Not sure this is even legal!
Pillows that are an insult to beds! Wi-Fi doesn’t work! Don’t get fooled by the nice lobby. Onsen consists of just one basin, so the photos are quite misleading! Everything else is probably one of the worst hotels we have stayed at. Only upside is the nice service! They even smiled when we complained about the room!

Overall I had a nice stay here.
They upgraded me to a room with canal view for free. The room was really comfortable.
Only downside was it’s located quite far from the station. It took 15 minutes to walk to the station, which was quite a hassle with the snow.
The restaurant was quite nice but expensive.

I had a pleasant one night stay at Hotel Sonia. The hotel's location was excellent, situated in front of the Otaru Canal and within walking distance to shopping and dining areas, as well as the train station (though snowy conditions made it a bit tricky). While the hotel lobby looked modern, the room interior felt outdated. Note that late check-out comes with a 2000 JPY per hour fee, so plan accordingly. Overall, it was a decent one-night stay.
