Aonobi Yuyu

Aonobi Yuyu

10/10 Excellent
"Exellent dinner buffet! Free shuttles (reserved) from Asahikawa and to Biei were very convenient. 3 mins walk to the famous Shirogane Bridge for great views. We didn't go to the Blue Pond due to transport logistics and lots of flying insects. Free water bottles and japanese sweets in room. Rooms were nice and clean. The only problem was our 2 rooms didn't have airconditioning, or rather, the central airconditioning is not effective at all. It was too hot to sleep for our 1 night stay in August but we would gladly stay again when it is not that hot."

10/10 Excellent
"Friendly and helpful staff, ability to speak English was a great bonus. The lobby and guest communal area was spacious and very well maintained. I think the no-shoes policy helps. Guests are provided with slippers to wear before entering the hostel. We stayed in the twin room with private bathroom and it was clean and well maintained. Mattresses and pillows are rather soft but still comfortable for a good night sleep. But space inside the room is quite small so people with large suitcases may not be able to open them at the same time. The tattoo-friendly onsen was great amenity to have onsite!"

"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."
