HOTEL AMANEK Asahikawa

The Amanek Asahikawa hotel is a gem. It is located just like a traffic light away from the train station. Hotel is new and room has a calming Japanese feel. Onsen is comfortable, especially the small outdoor tub onsen is a must try. Breakfast have many options. Overall a good stay that is value for money too.

Great location. Rooms are relatively smaller and not easy to place your luggages especially for senior citizens.

Shower had hairs left on the wall and conditioner bottle by previous occupiers when I first checked in. Curtains were a dusty which caused my partner's sinus to flare up. Did not provide much amenities, unlike other hotels in Japan that provide skincare for our stay. No bottled water provided and when asked, counter staffs directed us to the vending machine on level 17 where they charge a small bottle of water for 150 yen. Ended up having to head to 7 11 opposite the hotel to buy water ourselves. Washer and dryer were a nightmare - washer said that detergent would be automatically added but there was no fragrance. Dryer took me a total of 3 hours to dry my clothes and the dryer felt warm (not hot), and the laundry costed me more than 1000 yen in total and a lot of energy. One of the dryer had a sour smell too. Very limited number of washers and dryers and other customers would leave their clothes in there even though the washing/drying was done, resulting in a long queue forming out of the room. Even though staff saw the long queue, she just breeze past until we had to repeatedly ask her to clear the clothes. Some initiative would be nice. Bed was uncomfortable, as the bed will sink after lying on it for awhile, resulting in us arching our backs and causing bodyaches that woke us up multiple times at night from the pain. Only saving grace is the location of the hotel. It is directly connected to a duty free drug store and located a stone throw away from a 7 11.

The location is excellent, only two min walking distance fm Asahikawa station. The room is typical size in Japan, the bed is comfy and I like it.

Great location with convenient public transport and food. There’s a common area beside the reception that serves tea coffee juice and water from 3-10pm

Excellent location surrounded with good restaurants in a waking distance to JR Asahikawa. We love the garden at the back of the station. Though the room itself is a bit small we did not have problems opening two luggages. The hotel has its own parking with easy access to the third floor’s reception. Breakfast is decent with enough choices of food.

The hotel location is great. Onsen is ok but not as fantastic as other onsen hotels. Overall is ok.

Very strategic location right beside Asahikawa train station. And behind the train station there is a very beautiful park where people are jogging and cycling. I had a very relaxing and enjoyable morning walk when I was staying there. It is supposed right next to the AEON mall where you can get the dinner and lunch there. There is a French toast and bakery shop inside the train station. They serve very delicious breads.
