Monbetsu Prince Hotel
7,9/10 Very Good - Based on 412 reviews
Offering an atmosphere that invites serenity, this ryokan in Mombetsu stands out for its elegant simplicity and wellness-focused amenities. The hot spring baths, framed by natural stones, provide a moment of absolute relaxation, while the sauna and massage services complete this sensory experience. The space is designed to offer a true relaxation break, and little touches like the souvenir shop and vending machines add appreciated convenience to this haven of peace.
Comfortably furnished, the rooms are available in Japanese styles with tatami floors and traditional futons, or Western styles with cozy beds and soft carpeting. Each accommodation, carefully equipped with air conditioning, a television, and a mini-refrigerator, combines subtle modernity with local charm. The private bathrooms ensure optimal comfort, and the family rooms provide all the space needed for a stay with several people. The diversity of accommodations harmoniously meets all needs.
The culinary delights of the on-site restaurant will delight lovers of Japanese gastronomy, with carefully crafted specialties, including crab dishes, a true local treasure. The buffet breakfast offers a generous array of Japanese and Western dishes, allowing you to start the day with an explosion of flavors. By exploring the surroundings, other gastronomic establishments allow you to continue this culinary immersion, making each meal a discovery of Mombetsu’s flavors.
Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
4/10 A modern establishment is noticeable with some Japanese touches, without full immersion in tradition. The cuisine is well presented but lacks high authenticity. The baths are decent but without a stunning view. The well-maintained rooms offer dominant modern elements, distancing the experience from the traditional ryokan.
