Hotel terbaik di Rausu

The room we were in was huge - 2 big beds and a lounge, a huge bath and wet room. Lots of toiletries provided in the bathroom too. The heating needed to be on to 26 or 27 degrees as there was a cold draft coming from under the door and also from the cold windows. This kept the room about 22 degrees we thought. The food was dreadful and made 100 times worse as I am vegetarian... Tasteless vegetables boiled to death with very little protein offered. Breakfast was even worse and one morning I was left to have cabbage and chips as that was all there was that was vegetarian... No bread of breakfast cereal anywhere in sight. Thankfully there is a supermarket close by. It seems quite common in rural Japan to not cater for vegetarians.... so beware...

It's quite outdated with signs of wear and tear. The tatami room size is modest but clean. It's located 3 minutes of drive from Rausu port and therefore quite convenient. Both dinner and breakfast are Japanese style set meal and have a good variety of hot and cold dishes. Onsen was adequate. There isn't much choice of accommodation in the area. Next to this is Rausu Daiichi Hotel that we stayed 5 years ago, which I reckoned as slightly better than this one.

This old traditional inn inside Shiretoko National Park received a split verdict from my wife and I. I enjoyed the remote location at the end of a backroad, part way up a hillside where a trailhead begins for a popular mountain walk. It’s also a good location for access to the park’s visitor center and the popular 5 lakes area. There are 3 small public outdoor onsen baths located very near by. We both enjoyed the hotel’s indoor public baths. The night we stayed there were only two other rooms occupied. Our room was a Japanese - Western Twin, meaning it had a traditional tatami mat room, but also a separate sleeping area with western beds plus a small wet room bathroom. My wife felt the food was not that good, perhaps it suffered by comparison to some really good food we had at other lodgings. Also, during the ensuing days she discovered when speaking to locals that the hotel owner is not highly regarded. It’s felt he does not invest enough in his properties. A year ago there was a tourist boat accident and some people died, the accident blamed the owner for failures in several areas. As it turns out, the same gent owns Chinohate and the locals fear he’s operating it on the cheap too. Between the average food, relatively high rates, and remote and under-occupied vibe, my wife was not keen. I found the staff welcoming, the food okay, and the remote surroundings attractive. It appears to be a place where hikers might stay before/after their climb, but it would seem they need to be hikers with a healthy budget.

This is a typical ’boom & bust’ hotel, like the thousands of similar hotels you see all over Japan. It’s enormous, with lobbies, restaurands an common areas the size of airport hangars, huge rooms with separate tatami areas and massive onsens. All of which is in various stage of decay. This particular hotel is set back from the harbour, up on the hillside, presumably for tsunami reasons, which means you have to drive everywhere, to the boat tours in the harbour and the really nice little seafood shacks on the waterfront. The hotel offers, like all Japanese hotels, a myriad of ’settu’ options, all very confusing: breakfast, dinner and onsen package. Ditto with unlimited sake. Lunch and onsen and a spa treatment; don’t take any of these. The food is terrible by Japanese standards, and the gigantic restaurant is more like a East German Communist Party Headquarters canteen circa 1953 than a restaurant. You know whst I mean. Our room was huge, but with peeing wallpaper, slightly smelly damp wall-to-wall carpeting and (my pet hate) one of those pre-fab plastic bathrooms which has all the solidity of a bouncy castle. Our friends stayed at the Kitanokobushi Shiretoko Hotel, and I wish we had too. This is actually built this millennium and is right on the water. I highly recommend you stay there instead. As for me, I am thoroughly fed up with these depressing, smelly 1980’s concrete monsters.

知床は冬期間そうそう訪れられる場所ではないため、北海道外からの観光客が半端ない。そのため、宿のクオリティとサービス内容は札幌のビジネスホテルクラスなのに、料金は割高。私は一人旅だったので、一泊夕食無し、朝食有りで18000円のツイルルームを、残り４部屋のところを楽天トラベルで予約。館内は清潔で掃除が行き届いていて気持ちがいい。風呂は露天があり、泉質は源泉かけ流しなだけに高温、景色はほぼ見えないが、星空がちらほら。露天（女性）は狭いエリアが源泉エリアのため高温だから、広めのエリアに入るように、との表示あり。と言っても夜はこの表示が見えなかったせいで普通に高温風呂に浸かってしまった。客室数は多く、立地は観光遊覧船乗り場からも道の駅からも車で５分程度の場所なので、便利。

知床のウトロにある宿；世界自然遺産の宿 しれとこ村 つくだ荘を2021年7月に利用しました。 2021年の知床は、宿の予約が非常に取りにくい年でした。 コロナ禍ということもあり多くの民宿が休業し、営業しているのは比較的大規模の旅館やホテルで、大手のホテルでも6月に入ってから休業が決定するところもあり、私たちも旅の1か月前に急遽、宿を探す羽目にもなりました。 そんな中で、しれとこ村つくだ荘は、比較的リーズナブルな宿泊代金で利用できる宿で、食事も美味しく（特にメンメの煮つけが美味しい）、更に温泉付き。 夕食に毛ガニを一人1杯つけて、一泊二食で37400円/二人と知床にしては比較的リーズナブルな利用料金です。 温泉 “熊の湯”のお湯は赤みがかった濁り湯で美人の湯とも呼ばれ、少しトロミのある気持ちの良いお湯でした。 難点があるとすれば、客室にエアコンがなく、日中の気温が30度を超える日が多い2021年のウトロでは、夜が少し寝づらかったです。 また周囲の自然が豊かで、夜になるとどこから出てくるのか、様々な昆虫たちが部屋に乱入してきて大騒ぎ。 部屋には殺虫剤と虫捕獲用のガムテープがありますが、なかなか女性には難しい…かもしれません。

This was the most amazing stay of our 2-week Hokkaido trip. The design of the hotel was very nice, it is hard for a large hotel to feel homely and comfortable, but it did - walking around the lobby and dining areas was such a pleasant feeling, there is also a TV section where everyone enjoyed the documentaries on Shiretoko comfortably. The staff at the hotel were incredible, they were all very friendly and helpful, and seemed genuinely happy with their jobs - from the man at the front of the hotel welcoming us into the hotel and directing the cars to the carpark, to the front desk, and the servers and chefs at the restaurant - everyone was so friendly and nice. The breakfast and dinner buffet was amazingly good - usually I do not enjoy buffets as much, as the food is usually just average, but here, the food variety was amazing, and quality was so good! I had the freshest sashimi, very good desserts, good grilled beef and pork, ramen was amazing, and the fried food counter was so good. The rooms and onsen were comfortable and luxurious as well. The price we paid for the hotel was very well worth it! Thank you very much - we really enjoyed ourselves! Every day when we got back to the hotel after a long day out, it felt like returning home.

１日目は巨大温泉ホテルだったので、２日目は自分でカニを買って食べたくてここにしました。口コミは低い評価(リノベーション前？)が多かったので到着まで不安でしたが、施設はリノベーションされてて綺麗だし景色は部屋や露天風呂からウトロ漁港が眼下に見渡せ最高でした。〇温泉ホテルの食事はたいして美味しくないし全部食べ切れない。飲み物も超高い。⇒自分の食べたいものを選んで思いっきり飲みたい。って人にはお勧めだと思います。共用キッチンも整備されてて、調理道具、食器とも不便はありませんでした。ただし、ごみの分別等守るべき事が細かく記載されています。キッチンを使われない方も多いようです。

This resort has an outdoor foot spa which is amazing in the winter! Loved the sunset view indoor onsen too. Food is fantastic and they make the most delectable croissants and other pastries. Must have. Beds and rooms and comfortable, clean and luxurious. The only complaint I have is that we accidentally went to a wrong floor of the hotel and it opened up to a nearly completely dark long walkway along an unused area of the hotel. This could be dangerous. Other than that, everything is good. The staff could be friendlier to non-Japanese speaking guests.
