Royal Hotel Odate

I stayed here on a solo trip.The front desk staff were very gentle and easy to talk to.Maybe I just missed it, but I would have liked instant coffee.Guests can enjoy free late-night ramen, so I had it for dinner.It wasn’t greasy at all and went down smoothly—it was very delicious.The Onsen on the 5th floor has shampoo, conditioner, and body soap.Soaking in the bath while enjoying panoramic views of Odate city and the mountains feels luxurious and lets you forget about everyday life.The Room is more than spacious enough for one person.There is also a refrigerator.It’s a Hotel that made me want to come back.

I stayed here again after a motorcycle tour around the Hakkoda and Lake Towada area, because my first stay was so good.While some parts of the Facility feel a bit dated, everything is well maintained, and the bathrooms are very clean. The large Onsen bath was especially relaxing and helped me recover from the trip. Breakfast had a strong local character while also offering plenty of standard items, and everything was delicious. The late-night ramen service is great too—I really appreciate that they will even serve a half portion. For anything I still wanted after that, I picked up snacks and drinks at a convenience store and enjoyed them while relaxing in my Room.The staff were just as kind as before. In the morning, while drinking coffee in my Room and looking outside, I saw a male staff member cleaning the parking lot. There probably wasn’t much litter to pick up, but it still gave me a good impression—places that do things like this just feel right. There was also an evacuation drill notice posted in the elevator; I think it’s reassuring when guests can see what’s being done for safety. There may be limits to how much you can offset an older building, but there’s always room to improve on service—and in that sense, I think this is an excellent Accommodation.
