Hotel Pantai di Noboribetsu

Service was awesome, but one star off as a bucket of ice is chargeable. Check in was easy, Awesome onsen, especially the outdoor bath and variety. Downside: the escalators were spoilt and it says due to heavy rain in 5th Oct. You surely can fix your escalators in two months right? Breakfast timing ends too early… Seems like they do want to get everyone to checkout by 9am? Easily the best in Noboribetsu.

I have always wanted to stay in Kyo Takinoya ever since I visited Noboribetsu for the first time in 2015. That’s why we have decided to stay here during our honeymoon. We booked a Japanese style room with private onsen for our stay. We drove for around 2 hours from Niseko. Upon arriving the parking lot, we are greeted by the hotel staff. They guided us to a parking spot and helped us to carry our luggage to the room. Before we can set foot in the hotel lobby, we need to take off our shoes. Once we finished checkin. They took us to the hotel lounge where we were served some tea and Yokan before they took us to our room. Our room was spacious, clean and very traditional. Overall, it was quite well maintained considering the history of this hotel although we do see some wear and tear on the cabinet door. You can decide whether to set up the tatami in the living room or bed room area. A staff came in and set it all up while we were having dinner. Speaking of dinner, it was all served inside our room’s dining area at a selected time. We just need to sit in the dining room and wait for the dinner to come. A female staff politely asked to came in from the dinning area’s backdoor on time. The food was delicate and delicious. We are overall very satisfied and we especially enjoy the sashimi. The living room is only three steps away and we just rest there after dessert. After the table was cleared, they put a pot of iced cold water there for us. It was a great addition and thoughtful after the hot in-room onsen. There were 2 public onsen in the hotel. The onsen on 5/F is quite small but it had a nice mountain view. There were only 2 showers and I had to wait in line for shower when I visited it around 5-6pm. We visited the another Onsen in the morning before we checked out. It is located on B2/F. The onsen area is a lot larger and there are way more showers.

夕食ブュッフェのアジア料理、ステーキなどどれも味付けがよく美味しかったです　お寿司も握り方がとても上手で箸がすすみました 朝食も漁師茶漬けやフレンチトーなどもありバラエティにとんでいました 風呂は種類は少なかったですが、泉質は良くサウナとあわせて入り肩の疲れがとれました 朝の風呂上がりのしそジュースも美味しかったです 料理など子どもむけのサービスも充実しているようでした 従業員の方達もおおむね親切でよかったです ただ、帰る際は最後の挨拶はもうすこししっかりしていただけるとさらに好印象になるのですこし惜しいかもと思いました　全体的にはよいホテルで楽しく過ごさせていただきました コスパがよいので登別の温泉めぐりの拠点に良さそうです

This is the one of the best hotels we stay in. Everything is very good. All staffs of this hotel lobby front dest are very professional. Specifically, Maaya is very nice. Her bilingual technical provide a lot of help for us and most of foreigners.

This is a belated post. I stayed 1 night in this hotel in May 2018 and it was unforgettable. Each room is as big as an apartment, complete with lounge and private onsen in the bathroom. But I must warn that the bathroom windows have no shades and it looks out to the car park and forest (depending on which side of the hotel your room is). Overall, the rooms are big, beds are comfortable and bathrooms are luxurious. The breakfast is also delicious!

We had high expectations based on other reviews but had such a terrible stay that we are in the process of seeking a refund. Booked the largest room to fit the family bt were then told that I had only booked for two. This was my fault as I should have read the fine print but was fine with the extra charge - however this was then quoted as 50,000 yen for each of my two kids. Higher than the charge for the original room per person. They kept us in the lobby for half an hour while seeing if they could find food - the manager in a loud voice on the phone describing how the ”gaijin” had messed up the reservation and could they possibly help...it seems he didn't realise I speak fluent Japanese. Anyway long story short we booked a separate room or my kids at a cheaper rate. The hotel is very dated and not worth the price - the superior rooms have not changed since the 80s bubble period and the cleaning failed to find a very unfortunate item from the previous guest in our bed - which I have never seen in 30 years of staying in top hotels. The food was very nice for dinner and the lady we had as our waitress was lovely. Unfortunately the front manager and the overall experience spoiled what was supposed to be the highlight of our Hokkaido trip. Unmitigated disaster.

Noboribetsu, Hokkaido Prefecture. Filled with the mists of the North Pacific Ocean deep in the forrest valley lies the home of the thermal volcanic “hell valley”, all-natural hot springs, lakes, and the cuddly Bear Mountain Park. This is a tourist’s escape from whatever burdens them in the city, into the natural wonderland of mountains, hot spring streams, and warm local hospitality. The Noboribetsu Grand Hotel was opened in 1938. What was the Noboribetsu Guest House now revolutionized and expanded into a 300 plus room hotel with a finished off with a hot spring spa. Now a popular holiday getaway for the tourists both from Japan and abroad, this hotel packs itself to the brim both during the hot summers and the freezing winters. As part of our adventures down and around Hokkaido, we experienced this hotel and here’s our honest review of the Noboribetsu Grand Hotel: Our stay occurred from July 22nd to 23rd, this was our first night in Hokkaido after a long flight from Shanghai. A long hour drive from the highly trafficked New Chitose Airport would lead you to the Grand Hotel. Upon driving up, you would see how old the hotel is with its grey tiled walls and white drive up area. Greeting us at the hotel were the bellmen bowing as they would in the Japanese-style etiquette as you enter the lobby filled with one of Noboribetsu’s gift shop, monster figures, and marbled front desk area. None of the staff members spoke much English, so our lovely tour guide helped us in translation. Our check-in agent guided us through the specific details of the hotel facilities, breakfast facilities, and tatami installation times. We were given a 4-person Japanese-style “VIP” room, which consists of an at most 30 SQM space with a tatami floored living/bedroom space combination, a sitting room, a toilet room, a sink area, and a compact bathroom with separate shower & bathtub facilities. During the daytimes, living room acts a place for dining and seating with tatami chairs and a table. The TV stands at a corner. At around 7PM, the room attendants would turnover the tatami beds by moving the tables and chairs into the closet space and setting up the tatami beds. The tatami beds were rather inconvenient for us because of the size of the pillows that made of the tatami rather hard to sleep on. Don’t get us wrong, tatami beds are an efficient sleeping beds for families, but a single small sized pillow per bed makes the difference between authentic Japanese comfort and discomfort. Much of the challenge during the sleeping process was making sure your body stayed on the mattress when getting used to the firm yet small bean-filled pillow. I would recommend rooms that they provide that caters to a more westernized style with full beds. The tatami issue is a situation the hotel needs to revamp on. If they can start providing extra pillows in the closet or thicker sized pillows, it would be a great turnaround. The Japanese Hot Spring SPA concept is quite bizarre. Unlike mos

トラピックスのツアーで宿泊しました。登別温泉には同じ系列のホテルが数軒あるようで、その中ではお手軽なランクのホテルのようです。温泉街からは少し離れていますが、「地獄谷」まで歩いて15分くらいでした。温泉は地下1階からさらに階段を下った下にありますが、5つの湯舟には違った泉質の湯が張られ、さすが登別温泉の源泉の上に建つホテルだと思いました。この温泉は最高に良かったです。レストランではツアー客は部屋ごとにテーブルがあてがわれていたので、時間に行けば混雑することも無く食事が出来ました。窓の外には雪が降って風情もありました。夕食はバイキングでしたが、カニが食べ放題が売りのようでしたが、エビの方がお美味しかったです。イカそうめんやエビの天麩羅なども美味しかったです。朝食も北海道の料理が多く、朝からイカ刺しだけでご飯が1杯いただけそうです。デザートのマンゴと杏仁豆腐は高級中華料理店並みだと思いました。部屋は和室と洋間が一緒になった広さがあってよかったのですが、空気清浄機で加湿しても乾燥しているので冬場は注意が必要です。

Chose this place due to its proximity to Hell Valley and main shopping street. Twin room is a good size with a small bathroom. Flask of boiled water and chilled water jug is a nice touch. After exploring trails of Hell Valley, feels great after soaking in 7 different types of onsen in sister hotel Daiichi. Recommended stay.

The staff was friendly and attentive at this family-friendly hotel. We stayed in a Japanese style room, which was small but comfortable enough for our family of four. Skip the uncomfortably small shower and use the hot springs onsen, which was spacious and had many options. Breakfast was mediocre, and did not change much the second day. Overall, the hotel exceeded my expectations, but it wasn’t perfect. As is, I would still recommend it!
