Hokkai Hotel

A simple, no frills hotel. Location is great, as near to convenience store and bus stop to attractions

The location is convenient, halfway between the main train station and most of the eateries and bus stops, which are in the main town area. As for the hotel, it’s true Japanese style with no private showers, instead a Japanese-style public bath is on offer. My room was tatami-floored and had the futon prepared for me. The room was just a space with 4 walls, window, TV, small fridge and table. There’s no private toilet, you have to walk out to the hallway to use it, so you have to lock your room door and bring the key with you. Something worth noting is that there are only two power outlets in the room. It’s fine for a one night stay and if you’re looking off a more Japanese experience, this is an alright option.

Location was not great and quite a distance from JR station. Staff at counter can't understand English and not that helpful until the next day we meet a staff that can speak Mandarin. My wife doesn't like the toilet lighting as it was very dim. We had dinner at the hotel and surprisingly it was great as it was cooked by 2 elderly lady.
