Best Three Star Hotels in Kushiro

The room is quite satisfactory, but very clean, and the service is excellent. This is just a preliminary evaluation. What's better is: first, the transportation is convenient, the hotel is right next to the Biwu Bridge, and the bronze statues of the four beauties in spring, summer, autumn and winter on the Biwu Bridge are known as the third in the world. One of the great sunset viewing spots is the Kushiro Geimai Bridge, which adds a sense of age. Of course, if you stay in a hotel with a view room facing the sea, then watching the sunset in the room is the best choice. Across the river from the hotel is the MOO market and bus station. It is the starting point for traveling to surrounding cities and Kushiro Airport, so travel is absolutely convenient. MOO Market is very large. There are stalls of various seafood products on the ground floor. There are izakayas, bars and various restaurants on the first and second floors. The hotel is only about 10 minutes away from the JR train station and the largest seafood market and shopping mall. To travel to Lake Akan, Lake Kushari, Lake Mashu, the Red-crowned Crane International Center to see red-crowned cranes, and Mount Sulfur, you can buy tickets at the bus terminal counter next to JR station. There is a bus stop about 100 meters to the right of the hotel, where you can take the bus to Shiyuan Observation Deck. The second is the hotel's service. The front desk service is very friendly. The hotel has 13 floors. The 13th floor is the hotel's hot spring. You can soak in the hot spring at any time from 3pm to 10am the next morning. Various cold drinks are provided for free in the evening, lactic acid bacteria are provided for free in the morning, and free coffee is provided 24 hours a day on the first floor. In particular, when you soak in the hot spring on the 13th floor, you can enjoy the panoramic view of Kushiro's beautiful sunset. You can sit on the massage chair with ice cream in your mouth and enjoy the view while having a massage.

I booked a room at this hotel through Bookings.com, where rooms at their so-called 'Crystal Wing' were the only ones offered. The room cost me 28,000 yen a night but I decided to fork out the exorbitant price for a nice resort by the lake. However, as it turned out, the 'Crystal Wing' is actually an annex. It is originally a different hotel called the Crystal Hotel, which was acquired by the Hotel New Akan next door. The lobby and restaurant of this 'annex' were closed, so we assumed that only the rooms were used to accommodate guests. I don't have problems with annex rooms in other hotels, but for this one, I do. The Crystal Wing is so shabby and run down. The hallways are musty and smelly. It has its own small elevator with buttons so dirty that you don't want to put your finger on. The room looks like it does in the website picture. It looks clean. What is unseen though is the stale musty air! It was so awful to be breathing in the room. The windows cannot be opened, so you are forced to inhale the stale air from the old central AC. It’s really ironic because the fresh mountain air is just outside. What's worse is that the room smells of cigarettes even when it is supposed to be a non-smoking room. Also, the door does not close properly and has to be slammed to shut. The bed is reasonably comfortable, but the sheets do not have the scent of freshly laundered linen, and neither were the yukatas. This gives the impression that the room has not been used in a long time. The yukatas are so worn out, I did not feel like putting them on. The toilet, though very clean, faintly smelt of the sewer. We never saw any other guests on the same floor as us in the annex building. When we looked at the building from the outside during an evening stroll, our room was the only one lighted up. Coupled with the dark, uninhabited lower floors and the sealed-off lobby of this 'Crystal Wing', we felt like we booked a room at a ghost hotel! I complained to the hotel, but all they offered was a different room in the SAME annex building. I wrote a negative review on Bookings thinking it would help other unknowing guests. However, only positive reviews are being featured on the site. Bookings is still selling these Crystal Wing rooms on their website! (No rooms in the main building are available, so this misleads guests to think that the Crystal rooms are NOT the shabbier, older rooms in a different building) Selling these old run-down rooms in the dilapidated building next door for exorbitant prices is simply unscrupulous. Avoid these Crystal rooms at all costs if you want a good night sleep and no creepy, eerie feelings as a holiday memory!

I stayed to travel to Kushiro for two days and one night from my stay in Sapporo. When I left the station and looked to the left side, there was a large display at the top of the hotel, and I immediately knew the location. The hotel was clean and the room had everything I needed. He lent me a bicycle at the hotel, so I was able to easily go to Starbucks, the easternmost part of Japan, a few kilometers away. In addition, the hotel staff was very friendly and taught me the recommended izakaya in Kushiro. The sun manma I ate at the izakaya was delicious. The free breakfast was delicious and I wanted to use this hotel when I stayed in Kushiro.

Located in front of the Kushiro River, it was a convenient location with many restaurants around, 5 minutes walk from Kushiro Fisherman's Wharf Moo where the connecting bus to the airport stops. Because it was a business hotel, check-in in the evening was crowded with salaried men, but check-in in the morning was relatively smooth. There were many breakfast buffets and local ingredients, and the view from the window was wonderful. The open-air bath in the large communal bath was the best, coupled with the cold winter. The sauna was large, but I feel a little low temperature. The room was just the size of the room, and the air purifier was always available and comfortable, but I felt that the electric load on the hotel side seemed to be large because the electric control by the card key was not possible. It is located in front of the Kushiro River, a 5-minute walk from Kushiro Fisherman's Wharf Moo, where the shuttle bus to the airport stops, and there are many restaurants nearby. Since it is a business hotel, check-in in the evening was crowded with office workers, but check-in in the morning was relatively smooth. The breakfast buffet had a lot of local ingredients, and the view from the window was wonderful. The open-air bath in the large public bath was the best, combined with the coldness of winter. The sauna was large, but I felt that the temperature was a little low. The size of the room was just right, and the air purifier was always available, so it was comfortable.

I booked from an old business hotel, Agoda, smoking room selection is possible, near the station in front of the bus center, and the large communal bath has also been restored to 2023.10. The large communal bath is not large, but it was better to have it, and it was clean and healed by boiling water. You can use laundry and detergent freely, and you can use the dryer for 100 yen for 30 minutes. The room was cold and hot without heating, so he lent me a blanket. There is a vending machine including train range pot ice machine alcohol. I didn't use it, but there seems to be a cartoon corner, free coffee and 22:00 〜 24:00 Ochazuke service. I stayed for a long time, but if I only exchanged towels without cleaning, it was mineral water １ This service was. It was old but the staff were all nice.

Very close to the Lulu City Railway Station, also close to the Helu Market, but a little far from the Binwu Bridge and Lulu is a lively area. The room is small but at least clean and soundproof is not bad. The breakfast options are relatively small but there are basic choices. The large bath is located in the basement and there are self-service washing machines and dryers; You have to go to the counter to buy laundry detergent. If you want to spend one night, it is already full enough.

Toyoko Inn clears 70 points wherever you stay. More plus alpha is due to the inn. Is there no plus alpha here unfortunately? The facilities are old (e.g., the shower is difficult to adjust the temperature), and the parking lot is three-dimensional when used in the car, so it is troublesome to enter and exit. But here is no room for improvement. What I want to improve is drying in winter room. The room is dry because there is only air conditioner. When I woke up in the morning, my throat was scratchy. Then the clock sound. And it may be only corona, but it is a breakfast lunch. It is better to bake and put croissants in a basket and distribute them with coffee if it is about 300 yen cold lunch.

The location was very convenient near the station. I think the service and the size of the room are reasonable from the price, but one point! The cough, the sound of the TV next door, and the conversation are too loud. The wall is too thin, and the balcony is a board and the next door is round. I stayed for 4 nights, so this came a little.

I made a reservation with the room plan, so I wonder if I can see Lake Akan from the room on the day 〜? When I asked half of my expectations, I was surprised at the size of the room the moment I checked in and entered the room! And it was a room on the lake side, and I was impressed with ”Wow 〜, amazing 〜!” Since it was a corner room, the room was large and I was able to spend a luxurious time. A pleasure boat was also anchored in Lake Akan, and the next day I boarded the pleasure boat. I was happy that he prepared cold ice water. Lake Akan is dotted with large and small hot spring hotels, and Lake Akan is also an old-fashioned hot spring hotel. The lobby is large and you can enjoy welcome soft serve ice cream, coffee and tea. The soft serve ice cream was delicious. The large communal bath on the 5th floor was large because it was a hot spring with different temperatures. I wanted to go in the open-air bath on the 2nd floor after dinner. The dinner dish was in two steps and I was looking forward to opening it. There were so many items that I couldn't eat it. All were delicious, but especially the wakasagi and asparagus tempura were delicious. The staff at the serving seemed to be busy. The bread and beef stew were delicious in the morning with a buffet. It was a pity that orange juice was not juice 100 ％. I received a souvenir of melon bread at check-out. It was convenient because the pleasure boat stop of Lake Akan was very close.

There is a cafeteria downstairs, which tastes good and has a lot of popularity.
