The room doesn't feel very clean.Lack of cleanliness on walls, floors, and ceilingsThe bathroom had old tiles and I didn't feel like going in.There aren't even tissues in the roomThere was a string that turned off the light, but even if I pulled it, I couldn't turn off the light.

It was a truly horrible, trash-like hotel.It was a Western-style room, but the carpet on the floor was full of hair, the bathtub of the unit bath was full of hair, and the shower head was left with a hose that had come off.Is it being used for cleaning? Dishwashing detergent and melamine sponge...it was such a terrible mess that I couldn't believe I was cleaning it at all.A simple air conditioner was attached to the window, but it was so noisy that I couldn't sleep, and the gaps weren't completely filled, so bugs attracted by the lights came in through the gaps at night, and the room was full of bugs. The public bath didn't have an air conditioner or even a fan, so even though I was sweating, I was drenched in sweat right away in the changing room. There were 4 body soaps in the bathroom, all of which were empty. I had no choice but to wash my body with shampoo. When I asked him if he had a toothbrush, he laughed and said, "No, I don't have any." No matter how cheap it is, it's too bad. This is an extremely filthy and outrageous hotel. I felt so sick that I couldn't sleep much at night. Thanks to you, I'm not getting enough sleep. Even if it's cheap, you should definitely avoid this place. That owner is not qualified to work in the service industry.

Well, I ended up staying in a really bad hotel.The room was dusty and gave me a runny nose, the stove didn't work, ants were walking around, the furniture was scratched and tattered, and there were no tissues.Part of the hallway floor is missing.The back of the bathroom sink was slimy and very unsanitary with red mold.Managers are very unmotivated.Well, with this, you can get 3,740 yen for a room without meals.Instead of being angry at his shameless boldness, I was shocked and laughed.It's a running joke that the environment is poor even though it's not that cheap.

- Smells like cigarettes even though it's non-smoking・It can't be helped that it's old, but it's dirty. Leave trash and cigarette butts behind- No sense of cleanliness at all.・An empty body shampoo is left in the bathroom. I can't wash my body・5000 yen including breakfast is too expensive.・Breakfast is not delicious either. The seaweed is pliable.・It was the worst thing ever.

The prices here might be the lowest in the area, but there’s a reason for that—it's worth checking other reviews. It seems that many guests staying here are truck drivers and workers passing through. If you’re visiting for leisure, especially with female companions, it might be wise to spend a bit more for a hotel in the city center.

We had planned to camp in Memanbetsu, but bad weather forced us to cancel.It didn't stop raining the next day, so they kindly accepted our sudden request to stay overnight.Personally, I was able to stay comfortably without any problems.It was 3,850 yen (2024.7.23) for a room without meals.The owner is also kind!A washing machine and refrigerator are also installed.

The hotel had an inexplicable sense of decay. I booked two rooms and was led to one large room without a bathroom and a smaller one with a bathroom. Neither room had shower gel or shampoo, and there was no hair dryer.The entrance area had sofas and tables, but it had become a smoking area, and we were greeted by the smell of smoke as soon as we entered, despite having booked non-smoking rooms.It’s acceptable given the price, but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Next time, I’d prefer to book a hotel at double or even triple the cost to avoid such issues.

This is a business hotel, with an indescribably run-down feel. Is there a general smell of cigarettes, a sour smell, or a sense of cleanliness? The hallways are so dirty that you can wear your shoes on, and even though Wi-Fi is available, it's completely pointless in some rooms. Even though there is a bath, there are only empty shampoo and body soap containers lined up. In the communal toilets, men and women are in the same space, only separated by a wall. I think it's almost impossible for young women.If you are a woman who went on a backpacking trip to Southeast Asia and stayed in a mixed dormitory, it might be okay, but this is just a “might”.

My flight was canceled due to snow, and I ended up staying an unexpectedly extended night, so I searched for and found this hotel in a hurry.You can stay at less than half the price compared to accommodations around Abashiri, which is more than twice as far away from the surrounding area and the airport.I stayed in a room with minimal facilities, probably due to the low price, but there was no draft in the window and it was warm with a stove.Some people say it's a rice cracker futon, but the sheets are clean and just a regular futon and pillow.There are common refrigerators, microwaves, and pots in the hallway, and hot springs in the baths.I appreciate that the room is equipped with an extension cord.The bus from the airport was delayed and I didn't check in until 10pm, but the owner welcomed me warmly and with a smile, which made me feel at ease.The information inside the facility was also very thorough.The surrounding area is very quiet except for the bus route and is rich in nature, so it was very pleasant to take a walk in the early morning.This time I stayed without meals on short notice, but next time I would like to take a leisurely stroll around the area and include a meal as a thank you._ _ _In Hokkaido, things like heating and snow removal are more expensive than in the city center.Moreover, since it is a guesthouse type inn run by a small number of people, I can understand that if the building and facilities were to be like that of a hotel, there would be no way you could stay at such a low price.The facilities are more than adequate considering the price, but if you're concerned about the age of the building or the quality of the mattresses, you can spend the money and go to a nicer hotel group.As with any place, it is very disrespectful to conscientious owners that people who are not used to traveling and don't know what a minshuku is like use it just because of the low price and write a sloppy review.It's wrong to complain to the hostel instead of reflecting on your own lack of planning and ignorance.

Those who are complaining about this price should go to a city hotel 🆗The owner's kindness is obvious when you stay there! The Genghis Khan dinner was super delicious! I asked for it as a single item, and they offered it to me at the unbeatable price of 800 yen. kind!I ended up talking to the dinner owner for 3 hours. I'm glad I came! !

There are a lot of introductory comments about the TV broadcast. . There's no way they're going to show the negative side on TV. Also, I don't think it's okay to comment even though you haven't even stayed there.My impressions from my stay in October 2022 are that I doubt the wisdom of this hotel as it charges a fee. I booked a single Western-style room with a bath and toilet, so I booked one smoking room and one non-smoking room on a reservation site, but the two rooms that were prepared were non-smoking, and I was told that I was not allowed to smoke, but if I smoked... It doesn't matter,'' he said. I was told not to use the bath attached to the room because the hot water would not come out well in the large public bath. Also, the toilet seat in the room was broken and held together with duct tape.The owner who was introduced on TV was the one who had registered on the reservation site that the house would have a bath and toilet, and the one who accepted the reservation even though this was not actually realized.There was nothing wrong with the management of the room. It was an accommodation that I cannot recommend at all.According to the latest information, this inn costs about 5,490 yen? It's also a good thing that they went overboard on the TV broadcast.

If you think of it as a training camp and stay overnight, you can tolerate it.In the long term, the inconvenience becomes noticeable.There are many overnight guests.

I made a reservation on short notice for a business trip.First impression was the worst. Guests' shoes were scattered at the entrance (^^; Slippers were also frayed and left in such a state that it was difficult to tell who was wearing them (^o^;)I don't know if the renovated room is clean or not, but it was an old room in the back. The lighting in the tatami room was old and there was only one light bulb, so it was dim (crying).The heating device lit up at first, but then went out, and the futon had no mattress, so there was no rice cracker futon, and there was no futon that looked like a comforter, so I had to use a blanket. I slept curled up in two sheets (crying) There was a bath and toilet, but there was no washlet (crying) In the morning, when I washed my face, water leaked down to my feet and my socks got wet (crying) The room next door was Although it was empty in the morning, it was still pretty clean. I wonder why I was shown to the worst room?I guess the room owned by the contractor who was staying there had been renovated and was clean.There was a separate shared toilet and bath, this one had a washlet, and the bath always had hot water. However, at this time of year, the lukewarm water didn't warm my body at all.Although hot water came out of the faucet, the bathtub was quite spacious, so it didn't warm me up while I was in it. Dinner started at 7pm and the Genghis Khan was thick but soft and delicious⭐⭐⭐⭐It's a shame because the food is delicious...The rice cracker futon was an added bonus when I was tired. It was so cold that I couldn't sleep (^^;)))

A quiet hotel with a Showa feel? I guess it's like a guesthouse! I like the freedom. I like the master's personality.

Cheap, that's it. Although it is a private room, it has an atmosphere like an old youth hostel. There is no fan or air conditioner. Meals are very simple, but as long as you can eat something warm, it's enough. Even on weekdays in September, the place is fully booked with young people. You can use the communal refrigerator. There seems to be no distinction between smoking and non-smoking. People who are concerned about hygiene should avoid it.

It's best to stop it altogether. One of the worst guesthouses ever. It was dusty, the previous guest's hair was on the futon, etc., etc.

I think there are many people who are confused after reading the reviews.However, I think it would be fun to stay overnight there. If you're not looking for cleanliness, I think you'll get a pass for the owner's friendly personality, price, and facilities. This is not suitable for people who complain that dust accumulates in the bowl and that the teacups and cups are unsanitary, but you can wash them yourself.Next to Lake Abashiri, it is in a good location for sightseeing near Lake Saroma, Lake Mashu, Kaminokoike, and downtown Abashiri.It has all the functions as an inn.There is a spacious bathroom, laundry, refrigerator, TV, toilet, bed, dining room, and bicycle parking area.Since it is billed as a business hotel, all rooms have locked doors. The hallway is as wide as the rooms.However, although it is in front of the station, there is nothing nearby, and a convenience store is about 5 km away, so we recommend doing any necessary shopping before staying. The dishes vary depending on the day.The number of Showa-style inns has also decreased dramatically. I hope you can survive after this. Roughly 60% of business hotel chains are more than Ryder Houses and less than B&Bs.If you were to ask me if I would recommend it, I'd probably say stay away, especially if you're accompanied by your wife. In terms of the fun and taste of the trip, I think there is no reason not to stay here.Many of the guests seemed to have unique personalities, and we had lively conversations in the dining room. At one point, the owner held a one-man show, which was also quite entertaining.If I have a chance, I will use it again.

The dilapidated guest rooms mentioned in the reviews were renovated as part of a project for a TV program, and are now clean and comfortable for guests to rest in.The hotel's second-generation owner is praised for his personality that makes people around him smile, and for his aspirational efforts to provide better service.The hotel is located about a 7-minute walk from Yobito Station, making it a convenient location not only for use as a business hotel but also for travel.
