Hotel berhampiran SL展示場, Abashiri

The name should give it away, a French auberge fused with a traditional Japanese ryokan that provides the warm hospitality of the north. Located part way up a hillside behind Abashiri with nice view over a farm and lake. Steep uphill walk to museums for sea ice and northern peoples’ museums, downhill to the prison museum (aka the Alcatraz of Japan). The inn is eclectically decorated with art and historic international cultural references. It has multiple public onsen baths. The food is fantastic! Multi course French style dinners all sourced from local ingredients, served while seated in a room with a view. Breakfasts was Japanese style, delicious. Our room (oichimonji) was spacious western style and included wet room with big tub and view.

他の東横インと部屋は変わらないと思います。朝食が付いて6000円程度なら納得の価格です。部屋着やアメニティはロビーから必要な物を持って行く必要があるので気をつけましょう。朝食の品数は豊富ではありませんが，基本の弁当＋他の食材（味海苔，ソーセージ，焼きそば等）を持って部屋食ができます。食堂で食べることもできますが，集中するので。エレベータは1台しかありませんので結構待たされます。

古くて入口はガムテープで留めていたりとビックリしましたが、掃除されてるので不潔感はあまりありませんでした。 トイレはウォシュレットで大浴場の温泉は広々、露天風呂もサウナもありました。 休憩フロアのマッサージチェアが無料なのもよかったですが、脱衣所のマッサージチェアの変色はちょっと気持ち悪いかな。 貸出のシャンプー＆リンス、女性だけにプレゼントのアメニティやヘアアイロンの貸出も良かったです。 朝食は後付けでも１１００円と安くイクラ乗せ放題も良かったです。 晴れたら景色最高。 なので、なるべく上階出来れば最上階がお勧めです。 朝食会場も緑が綺麗でした。 網走湖が近いので散歩するのもお勧め。

I just finished two nights at the Hotel Hokkai in Abashiri. The hotel is fairly dated, yet very, very typical of what you find outside Hokkaido's main cities. It is very easy to find, along HWY 39 that runs between Asahikawa and Abashiri. The room size, decor, and tiny unit bath are all typical, something I've seen too many times to count. So, in that sense, I knew what I was getting, and am ok with that. One particular thing bothered me though, and completely changed my view of this hotel. I was running late on Friday night, having driven the 350 km from Sapporo. When I made the reservation I guessed my time of arrival would be at 11 pm. I arrived at 11:55. This is how the conversation went. ”Hotel: X-san. We were wondering what happened to you. We called your house.” ”Me: You called my house? Why?” ”Hotel: Because you were late.” ”Me: What time did you call?” ”Hotel: At 11:15” ”Me: So, you called my house when I was only 15 minutes late?” ”Yes. The last train to Abashiri has already arrived and you weren't here.” ”Me. Why did you think I would take the train?” (NB: I have a Japanese driver's license and drive everywhere. Clearly they think non-Japanese don't drive here.) ”Hotel: didn't answer my question...” ”Me: You shouldn't call my house late at night because I'm running late.” ”Hotel: No one answered at your house.” ”Me: That's because most people are asleep then. It's 11 pm!” After that, he handed me my key and I went up to my room, not happy. Honestly, I lost all respect for the hotel at that point. I've been to 80+ countries and thousands of hotels and never has one called my house when I was late, let alone 15 minutes late. As a result, I won't be staying at this hotel again. I'd rather sleep in my car.

I booked for 1 night to see the drift ice the next day. Pier is walking distance from hotel. Reception was polite and helpful. There is a convenient store just opposite the hotel.

設施：酒店比較有年代了 應該是昭和年代的建築 但是屋內設施維護良好 設備齊全 衞生：衞生很好 環境：環境不錯 就是網走受老齡化少子化年輕人外流影響 確實略顯蕭條 最多的羣體可能就是冬季來看流冰的遊客了 距離網走JR站1km左右 位置上離商店街較近 車站略遠 服務：服務很好 用日語溝通交流都很順暢

체크인 시간보다 한참 앞선 시간, 얼굴에 철판을 깔고 염치없게 벨을 눌렀으나 숙소의 주인분께서 생각보다 관대하게 맞이해주셨고, 상냥하게 숙소의 소개를 받을 수 있었다. 꽤 긴시간을 체류했지만 내가 워낙 게으른 인간이고, 사람과의 관계에 밝지않아 숙소의 주인분과 친해지는 과정이 그리 순조롭진 않았으나 그럼에도 불구하고 따뜻하게 나의 속도에 맞춰주듯이 천천히 이야기를 이어나갈 수 있었다. 숙소를 떠나는 날에는 나도 제법 마음이 가벼워져 이런저런 이야기를 나누었는데 그 짧은 시간이 너무나도 아쉽게 느껴질 정도로 장소와 사람에게 정이 들어있음을 느낄 수 있었다. 온정이 느껴지는 숙소의 외관, 세련된 내관, 아름다운 바깥의 풍경을 느끼고 싶지만 접근성때문에 망설여진다면 아바시리의 대부분을 500~700엔으로 이동할 수 있는 도코버스를 이용하면 되기 때문에 너무 큰 걱정을 할 필요는 없을 것 같다.

傳統的日式酒店，非常好。

The service was a bit terrible. We stayed 3 nights asked for 3 towels as 1 for each day but they didn’t provide and asked to use 1 for 3 days. It was terrible. Other than that everything was good.

建物はよくある公共施設ぽいですが、リニューアルされ明るく清潔感があります。スタッフも皆さん、素朴な感じですが、丁寧な対応でで気持ちいいです。 A館ツインに宿泊しましたが、部屋は広くベッドもゆったり。B館は分かりませんが、A館をお勧めします。食事は価格相応ですが、アルコール類は比較的リーズナブルです。 ここをベースに斜里岳登山や知床、摩周などを観光するのに重宝すると思います。
