The Room was spotless, and despite it being a busy season, the large public bath was almost like having it to ourselves—I was able to relax and enjoy it both at night and in the morning.
Above all, I was amazed by the incredible variety at breakfast!
I’ve stayed at many places from budget to luxury, and I’d say this ranks among the top five in terms of selection.
With plenty of both Japanese and Western options, I honestly think you should stay at least two nights just to fully enjoy the breakfast. I also loved that the bread selection wasn’t the usual lineup—there was a pretzel-like bread with a light salty flavor that was delicious.
Also, my check-in happened to coincide with a time when a line had formed, but the staff were excellent—efficient and professional without being overwhelmed by impatient guests.
(I didn’t realize my own mistake until right before check-in—thank you for your help.)
You can go back and forth between the large public bath and the breakfast venue in loungewear,
there’s even a coin laundry inside the women’s bath area (!),
and beyond its unbeatable location right in front of Asahikawa Station with a convenience store on the first floor, this Hotel was truly full of charm.
