Nothing feels better after a long journey ending in a midnight arrival than the fact that your accommodation is just right across the street.

“Wonderful”
Fantastic location, 1 minute walk from the bus terminal, 4 minute walk from the station. We got a room for 7 people; it was sufficiently spacious. There's a spacious common area that can be used for dining. 1 minute walk from the closest convenience store. Very gracious staff, accommodating for our somewhat late check in past 9pm caused by factors outside our control.

Excellent location just diagonally opposite Wakkanai Train Station. As both of us wanted to have ensuite bathroom so we booked the biggest unit meant for 9 pax. It has a genkan, 2 rooms, a separate bathroom (with a tub) and toilet. An electric hanger bar for laundry (though no washing machine). The kitchen is well equipped with stove, fridge, appliances and utensils. The room is clean. No onsite parking but free parking is just a short walking distance away in front of Surfeel Hotel Wakkanai. Complimentary coffee / tea / miso soup at the public area. Check in / out were easy.

The place looks beautiful, fresh, good vibe. The staff is very helpful even though English it's not the spoken language. The rooms are very pleasant and the kitchen well equipped. One of the best hostels I have been. Ahhh, and do not forget the location. Near the bus station, ferry station and all the rent a car shops. Perfect!!!

“Horrible sleep (noisy)”
It's pretty, well located and they give free coffee but that's pretty much it. The beds are ok.

I liked the common area with self-serve coffee and tea. The location was also perfect - directly across the road from JR Wakkanai Station, and a short walk away from the ferry terminal to Rishiri & Rebun. A bunch of restaurants in the area too, as well as a Seicomart close by. Very friendly and helpful staff too.

“Ma "cabane" à Wakkanai”
I enjoyed my "cabane" in Wakkanai... Lower space of a 4 bed mix-dorm, good light, desk, small box for valables with a key, curtain privacy. The commun lounge, dining room and kitchen were a nice spot to discussion with other travellers vans staff members. Osaki did his upmost to assist me and other travellers while I why there and saved literally another traveller trip. I definiteoy be back someday... ☺️
