Cheap Hotels in Abashiri City

"The location is convenient, quite close to the train station. One thing to note is that you need to be careful which room type you book — only the Western-style rooms come with a private bath and toilet. Luckily, after reading reviews from other travelers, we were able to change our room at check-in. One downside was a misunderstanding about the check-out time. We thought it was 12pm, but when we returned the staff had already opened our room door as check-out was earlier. That was a first for us, and luckily nothing was taken — but something to be mindful of when staying here."

"The architectural design and the decoration of the hotel building is stylish and artistic. It is spacious. The staff are very polite and attentive to your needs. They will give you a guided tour introducing the facilities of the hotel after you completed the check in process. There is a hut with a pool in the garden offering free footbath which is fun. They provide many room choices, including one with in room private onsen and villas where you have more privacy."

"Recently, I stayed at the Abashiri Royal Hotel for one night during my trip to Eastern Hokkaido. When choosing a hotel in Abashiri City, I placed importance on access from the station and the abundance of hot spring facilities, so I decided to make a reservation at the Royal Hotel, which met my criteria perfectly. As a result, I was very satisfied with the location from the station and the hot spring facilities, but there were some disappointing aspects in terms of the facilities in the rooms, so I would like to share my honest impressions. First, about access. It is very close to JR Abashiri Station, about a 5-minute walk, and is a very convenient location for sightseeing and transportation. You can see the hotel just a short walk from the station, so even travelers who are unfamiliar with the area should be able to get there without getting lost. There are also restaurants and convenience stores scattered around, so you won't have any trouble shopping or eating. In particular, there are several small izakayas around the hotel that serve local Abashiri cuisine, making it the perfect environment for enjoying a night on your trip. When you enter the building, you will be greeted by a classic lobby that retains an old-fashioned atmosphere. The staff at the front desk were very polite and answered all my questions about sightseeing with kindness. The check-in process was smooth, and I headed straight to my room after receiving the key. The room was a standard size for a business hotel, well-cleaned, and the bed was carefully made. However, the only disappointment of this stay was the malfunction of the air conditioner in the room. When I checked in, the room felt a little muggy, and although I turned on the air conditioner, it didn't cool down easily, and even when I changed the temperature setting, the air volume was weak and it seemed like almost no cold air was coming out. At night, I managed to avoid the heat by opening the window a little, but the noise from outside was a bit bothersome, and to be honest, I didn't get a good night's sleep. I thought about contacting the front desk, but since I arrived late, I decided to hold off this time. On the other hand, I was very satisfied with the hot spring facilities. The large public bath on the top floor of the hotel was not that large, but it was clean, and it was said to use local natural hot springs, so my skin felt smooth. The temperature of the water was just right, and it was a great place to relieve the fatigue of a long journey. There is also a sauna, so you can sweat at high temperatures. The flow of traffic between the bath and the water bath is well thought out, and I was glad that there were several chairs prepared. A morning bath was also available, so I was able to leave the next morning feeling refreshed. As for breakfast, I did not use it this time because I stayed with a plan without meals, but according to reviews from other guests, it was a Japanese and Western buffet style using ingredients from Hokkaido, so I would definitely like to stay with breakfast included next time. Overall, I felt that the Abashiri Royal Hotel was close to the station, had a good bathing facility, and was a convenient hotel as a base for sightseeing and business. However, I think there is room for improvement in the facilities in the guest rooms, especially in terms of air conditioning. Depending on the season, this may not be a big problem, but I felt that it would be better if the maintenance was a little more thorough in the summer and hot and humid seasons to make a comfortable stay. The town of Abashiri itself is very attractive, and there are many things to see, such as drift ice sightseeing, the prison museum, and Cape Notoro, so I would definitely use it when I visit again. I hope the air conditioning works properly next time and I look forward to a more comfortable stay."

"Hotel is just opposite across Abashiri Station. We arrived at 12:25pm in the afternoon, there was a senior staff already waited for us at the ground floor of the Hotel entrance. She was so helpful and brought us to level 1 the hotel reception to care off our luggages. We indeed very grateful as we need to rush off to catch our bus to the Icebreaker cruise. We booked the room with breakfast but unfortunately we did not have time to take our breakfast as we need to rush to catch our train back to Sapporo. It was a pleasant stay in the hotel although the furniture and toilet is old. We have to make cash payment for the room reserved instead of credit card via Trip.com"

"1. The hotel is about a 10-minute walk from Abashiri Station, but considering the nearby restaurants, supermarket, and ice floe boats, it's a great location. 2. The bathroom was clean and nice. They even provided bath salts. 3. The interior was also clean and nice. 4. I understand that tatami mats are difficult to clean, but there's quite a bit of dust between the mats. It would be helpful if you could use a vacuum cleaner with a narrow opening and pay close attention to that area. I was worried that bugs might creep in if I was not careful. 5. It felt like I was experiencing a Japanese-style room, which was nice. Thanks to the great hotel, I had a wonderful trip to Abashiri."

"Good Stay with Convenient Amenities, but Parking is Limited Great Location & Convenience The location is very good. It is highly convenient as it is situated near a grocery store and a convenience store, making it easy to grab anything you need. Decent Stay & Facilities Both the service and the facilities are perfectly okay. Everything went smoothly during the stay. Note on Parking The only downside is that the parking is very limited. If the parking spaces closest to the hotel are full, you will need to park a bit further away, which is something to keep in mind if you are driving."

"The hotel's location is excellent, right across the street from JR Abashiri Station. However, there are no convenience stores nearby, though there is a Sukiya restaurant directly opposite. The triple room was quite spacious and clean, with plenty of room to open three suitcases comfortably. We had a view of the Abashiri River from the window. The bathroom was very small, and there was a major drawback: the triple room was right next to the elevator. The vibrations and noise from the elevator were very noticeable, especially during peak times in the morning for breakfast and check-out, which was constant and quite disturbing. Although the hotel had informed us beforehand that the triple room was next to the elevator, I didn't expect the elevator noise to be so loud."

"The service is 5 stars! I had to send a luggage to another city and Kado san helped to send me to Yamato luggage delivery in his car for the drop off even though I do not speak Japanese. This hotel is located directly opposite the bus stop where the airport bus stops and is about 3 minutes walk to train station and 5 minutes walk to bus terminal. Very convenient. The hotel may be older but its clean. There's laundry facilities if needed. There's also amenities in the hotel lobby, providing coffee, tea and some other very nice tea in powder form that many other hotels do not have."

"We now call this ‘The Shining’ hotel. It is very dated and sound insulation is not up to modern standards. The windows had mold stained sealant and the hot water initially came out of the taps a rust colour. We stayed 3 nights and used it as a base to explore this region of Hokkaido, which was great. We stayed in a Japanese room, which was a good size and as we were a couple, we didn’t have to put away the futons everyday. Would I stay there again, probably not."
