Asahikawa Hotels with Free Breakfast

Due to high demand, our second night was in a smoking room, and it definitely had a strong odor. However, there was a spray bottle on the wall, and after using it, the air quality improved significantly. The hygiene was very good, and the room had amenities like a kettle and a fridge. Plus, it's very close to Asahikawa Station, which was great.

It is said that it is a hotel that has been in business for more than 80 years. The interior design of the store is very exquisite, especially the hot spring area, which has an ancient but beautiful feeling. The bathrobe prepared in the room is folded with corners after ironing. It is very ritual to wear to the hot spring. The staff's service attitude is also very good and I feel the intention.

Hotel Route Inn Grand is a decent hotel that meets basic expectations. The 'Grand' version, being a step up from the regular Route Inn, fulfilled my minimum requirements for accommodation. I've stayed in at least four of them across Hokkaido, and they're consistently neither surprising nor disappointing. That day, I visited Shikisai no Oka in Biei, which was absolutely beautiful.

Everything was great. Proximity to the Asahikawa station was very useful and helpful, especially with all the snow. The amenities were nice. I especially liked the apple tea. Breakfast was an affordable nice buffet with plenty of options to choose from. Seating was easy to get.

A good option for solo skiing in Asahikawa. After breakfast, head to the bus station. I personally think walking to the OMO7 bus stop (about 10 minutes) is better, as you can board directly. If that's closer, you can go to the station bus stop (7 minutes), but you'll have to wait for the bus. The advantage is you can leave later, but the disadvantage is that it might be full and you'll have to wait for an extra bus or sit in the aisle. Free chicken curry rice is available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 7 PM. New towels and toothbrushes are provided daily. Lotion can be picked up in the lobby on the first floor. Delivery packages (ski equipment, etc.) can be collected. The room is spacious for one person, and economical for two.

It's an older business hotel, but the location is quite convenient. They also offer paid parking at 800 JPY per day with unlimited in/out privileges. Most staff were friendly and welcoming, except for one manager-like figure (in a black suit, rarely at the front desk) who seemed rather unwelcoming and didn't smile. The buffet breakfast wasn't overly extensive but was perfectly adequate. During the evening Happy Hour from 6 PM to 8 PM, they offered all-you-can-eat curry rice and one complimentary drink, including alcoholic options.

The room was really small and the hotel itself was quite old. There's a hot spring bathhouse on the basement level, which is convenient for showering, and toiletries can be picked up for free in the lobby, which is well-stocked. There's a self-service laundry room on the ground floor; washing and drying are separate, and the dryer isn't very efficient, so plan your laundry time accordingly. The restaurant is on the top floor with a beautiful view, and the breakfast is very rich with daily rotating dishes – they put a lot of effort into it. The location is great, not far from Asahikawa Station, and dining is very convenient with many restaurants to choose from.

It was alright. Since it was peak snow festival season and we were staying for a long time, this was the only hotel that had rooms available for consecutive nights. We initially booked for a week, then extended for three more days. Note that if you extend your stay, even if it's the same room type, you'll be reassigned to a different room and have to check out before checking back in, which is very inconvenient. This was something I'd never experienced before staying at a hotel in Japan, so this aspect of the experience wasn't great. The location wasn't very convenient either; the distance from the station was awkward—not far, but not close either. Walking around to Aeon Mall in the snow was quite tiring. Aside from that, everything was pretty good. The service was excellent, and the breakfast was quite plentiful. The roasted baby potatoes were delicious; I ate several every day.

This is a traditional, family-run inn that truly excels in hospitality and personal charm. I booked a room with a private bath; it was exceptionally spacious at nearly 40 square meters, and we had the entire floor to ourselves. Our private bath was conveniently located directly on the rooftop, situated at the highest point of the small hill, offering an amazing soaking experience. The family operates their own restaurant, and both breakfast and dinner were delightful. This was our children's favorite hotel of the entire trip, providing fantastic value for money. They even have a nostalgic 90s-era arcade! It's definitely a top choice for travelers on a self-drive trip. The owner and staff were incredibly warm, enthusiastic, and kind. A huge thank you once again for their wonderful hospitality!

You need a car for this location. But, the hotel is awesome especially for kids. They have many play spaces, board games, and breakfast can be taken up in the hallway or brought to the room. Very nice home cooked warm meal, and very friendly kitchen lady. And a very huge room and bath.Love my stay and will recommend this hotel.
