Wakkanai, Hokkaido Prefecture hotel rooms at the Independent

"A well located hotel which is right on the sea front. We had a wonderful view from our room which was spacious and clean. Staff were lovely and friendly and parking was very easy. Breakfast was a buffet and there was plenty of choice. The hotel is also very close to the train station and bus terminal if you don't have a car. We caught the bus to Cape Noshappu and then walked back to the hotel - a lovely walk. It is also easy to walk to the ferry from the hotel (5-10 minutes) if you are heading over to the nearby islands. Well worth the stay."

"Lovely and comfortable stay - breakfast was worth the extra fee, boasting a bountiful buffet of fresh sashimi, delicious side dishes, comforting soups and freshly-cooked rice in addition to other usual fare like bread, yoghurt and fruits. Rooms were on the small side, but perfectly serviceable. The public baths are fantastic, and there are 3 washers + 3 dryers per gender in the public bath area. There’s also free ice cream and yoghurt drinks for after your bath, be it morning/night! Location is just a short walk away from the JR station/bus terminal, and throwing distance from 3 car rental agencies. It’s a 15-minute walk from the ferry terminal, but in the early AM (when the first ferry leaves), it’s a nice walk in summer. Love the Dormy Inn series, would always come back!"

"Good"
