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.

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 Authent Hotel is a lovely hotel. I had a room on the top corner overlooking the street and it was spacious and nice. Very comfortable bed. Breakfast is traditional Japanese style, with a couple of options to choose from. I had a beautiful sashimi bowl, with miso soup and another dish I’m not familiar with.
