Wakkanai Grand Hotel — Hotel in Wakkanai

The hotel is approximately a 10 - 15 minute walk from the train station. Definitely recommend that you ask for directions and a map to make it easier before leaving the station. As for the area around the station, there is very little, no shopping except for a drug store, and a few restaurants and bars near the hotel. This hotel is great for use as a base to explore other areas near and around the region. As you head further north to the end of the train line, hotel prices increase dramatically.||The included breakfast is very different from what Westerners would expect, as the dishes are very typical Japanese. If you are open to different culinary experiences, for breakfast you have come to the right place, all made right on the premises by the locals.||The hotel has available for guests a hot spa, one for men and another for women, and free internet is available in the rooms. As for the rooms, they are quite reasonably sized, and no one should get claustrophobic. ||||Would I recommend staying here: Yes||Would we...

Would not reccommend.

The rooms are fine, it was just a shock how rude all of the staff were. We arrived at 5am knowing that we would have to check out 5hr later and we paid full price €450 for two rooms - that’s fine, we were happy to pay.

All of the gentleman working behind the front desk treated us as if our stay was a ‘burden’ for them. Picking his nose as he looked down upon us.

The breakfast ladies were also rude on many different accounts. While we enjoyed the last sip of coffee as they were set to start cleaning up - 9am… they told us we had to move on immediately, no warning, nothing. I could pick out another 5 inflexible things, but if youve read this far, you know what to expect.

Over priced, clean basic rooms, but staff that obviously don’t realize that their reputation lives on in customer reviews like these. Would certainly not stay again or recommend to...

This reasonable priced hotel is located directly in the heart of the city's surprisingly good nightlife. You can find really good restaurants and cocktail bars just a few seconds walk away from the hotel. Also, the train station can be reached within a 15 minute walk.|Make sure to get a room in the main tower and not in the "new tower" since those in the "new" annex are quite outdated whereas those in the main tower are very modern and nice. Equipped with a large bathtub, a massage chair, moveable beds and nice lighting. However all rooms are spacious and clean.|The breakfast is really good Japanese home cooking featuring some rare ingredients like mountain vegetables only found in the area. Free internet and onsen hot spring baths are provided as well. Definitely recommended for a stay...
