Recommended for those who want to stay in style at an affordable price.It's right in front of the station, so I think it's very convenient, especially for those who use trains or buses. If you come by car, it will be a 2-3 minute walk from the parking lot, so if you have heavy luggage, it may be best to bring only what you need to the hotel.The staff was very courteous and I would like to use the hotel again.

Although the prices are high for a dormitory-style guesthouse, the prices are similar because it is a remote area and there is little competition nearby.The front desk is very responsive and flexible. The inside of the building was new and well kept. For parking, you will be directed to a nearby roadside station parking lot, but there are also paid parking lots nearby. Motorcycles can be parked under the roof on the premises. There are two types of bathrooms: one with a bathtub and one with a shower booth. There is a Secoma diagonally across the street, so it seems like you can survive to some extent even if you miss meal times.

The location is close to the station and the facility itself is very clean, but even if you stay for multiple nights, there is an additional charge if you want to have a new bath towel replaced.As others have pointed out, the bed is not soundproofed at all, so you will be woken up by snoring or someone coming home in the middle of the night.Also, slippers are provided for outdoor wear to go shopping or to use inside the facility, but some people did not take them off in places where they were required to take them off and instead wore them to their rooms, so I think it would be nice if there was a clearer signage. Masu.I think it's best to just take a nap here.

If you are touring and staying in Wakkanai, we recommend this place. Although we are staying without meals, there are restaurants nearby, and there is a fun map of the city that everyone has drawn up, as well as fully equipped showers, towels, and shampoo. Laundry (charged) is also available. There is also a secure garage for riders and charriders. It's a dormitory type room, so the common space is fully equipped with a refrigerator, kitchen, cutlery, etc. The price is a little higher, but if you look at the facilities, it's worth it! I recommend it.
