Dormy Inn Wakkanai

Great hotel with a lovely onsen on the rooftop (hot baths, both indoors and outdoors in the fresh air, are available). The hotel staff were extremely friendly. Easy to park your car directly outside the hotel for YEN400 per night). Our room was small but spacious enough for two people. A mini-fridge, kettle, slippers, dressing gowns, shower products etc. are available in the room. Good tasting coffee-machine is available free of charge in the lobby, so we were able to have coffee whenever we wanted. A good number of Japanese restaurants (for dinner) are within 2-4 minutes walking distance from the hotel. Japanese style breakfast only. We will definitely stay there again.

We were a bit concerned about staying here as we normally pay a bit more than the Dormy Inn charges. But actually I was quite impressed by the whole stay, especially considering the price. The room was quite large for a Japanese hotel. The bathroom was a little small but totally workable, especially because the basin was outside the bathroom/ toilet room so they are less cramped. The onsen is a nice touch, on the top floor with an indoor and outdoor bath and views of the city. If you stay here I recommend you try it. They also handled parking our car with no language problems. In fact the staff were more helpful than many more expensive hotels I’ve stayed in. There are some very Japanese touches, like vending machines on each floor, and free cup ramen. But there are plenty of food options right outside the door. I would highly recommend this place if you’re staying in Wakkanai

“Windy Wakkanai!”

The tail end of a typhoon was passing over as we arrived, but I suspect the peninsula is always windy. The hotel was cosy and the room was comfortable. We had twin beds, which made the room feel very spacious. The onsen on the top floor was hot, but pleasant. My friend, a long resident of Japan, in… lisää

The tail end of a typhoon was passing over as we arrived, but I suspect the peninsula is always windy. The hotel was cosy and the room was comfortable. We had twin beds, which made the room feel very spacious. The onsen on the top floor was hot, but pleasant. My friend, a long resident of Japan, introduced me to the art of bathing. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor onsen, with its flotilla of ducks bearing happy messages. As we did not eat in the hotel, I cannot comment on the food. Altogether a good night’s stay there.

“A short 2-block, leisurely walk from the Wakkanai train station”

Very convenitnet hotel. Easy to get to the train station, there is a Seico convenience store at the station, Wakkanai Park is a short hike up the slopes near the hotel. The hotel serves free soba 9:30-11 p.m. or so.
