Hotels with WiFi in Abashiri City

Best stay ever. Imagine a place that can accommodate all 9 friends while the facilities are new and great.

This family hotel opened in 1981. Almost everyone in the city knows that the taxi from Jr station has been less than 100 yuan. The male owner's character is rare in the Japanese group. He drinks with the guests. He used to raise horses and sheep. He was old and sold a little bit. The leftovers were scattered on the hillside for a few squats, and they were ready to close for two or three years. Although the business was very good, the guests were endless and often full. I added breakfast, a bit rough, but isn't this what the countryside should look like? There are also many Chinese who come to live. It is quite good to live in a clean farmhouse in Hokkaido.

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.

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.
