The bedroom downstairs and the living areas were well designed and comfortable. Loved the decor on the main level which made this place feel cosy and unique. We did not use the upstairs futon sleeping area because not even a child could stand up (we are all 170cm+) Used the shared laundry and found it...

They don't seem to be physically in the area since they sometimes answered a few hours later and they need to ask someone to come on-site. As some previous reviews reported, it's not soundproof but we barely heard others when they were going out of their own room. Good quality of their"

Court Hotel Asahikawa

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent location. Free same-day luggage/bag luggage storage after check out. Some reception staff spoke limited English but eager to help. Very spacious room. Working air-conditioning (visited in August). Clean at first glance but there were ants near kitchen area and bathroom sink. Another consideration for families staying longer is the inconvenience of the toilet and bathroom being together. Despite all this I'd likely stay again for an overnight trip only but please fix your ant problem!"

"Perfect location! Very convenient place to stay as a tourist. The hotel is located on the 5th floor of aeon mall. Right beside the JR station and in front of the bus terminal. Easy to get to places of interest like the must visit zoo. Breakfast is provided. There are also many good food options in the mall. Room is very very big with proper shower and bath tub separately. Love this configuration. For japan standard, this is considered a very good size room. There is a lovely park right in front of the Jr station which we love to take our evening walks. Onsen wise is nice and good size. Just a little crowded when it’s peak hours. Pyjamas and hotel slippers to the onsen is provided . Coin laundry is available too. 3 washer and 3 dryers. This is the most comfortable stay of our 2 weeks in Hokkaido. Felt pampered. Too bad we only stayed for 3 nights and it was at the end of our furano and biei trip… Would love to plan to stay here longer in our next trip, using this hotel as our base to visit furano and biei. Highly recommended."

"Went in the summer and got a family rooms with 4 beds. Sufficent space for 2 adults and 2 young kids. Awesome breakfast. Though the spread was the same throughout our 3 days stay. The marinated diced sashimi rice was my daily fuel. Hotel parking (located next to the hotel) is limited and we had to park in one of the affiliated carparks for one of the nights. So it's good to locate a few of these carparks beforehand if you are driving. Staff was friendly. They were also willing to help accept my online shopping delivery. Do message them for instructions."
