Cheap Hotels in Obihiro

"I've always yearned to visit Eastern Hokkaido, so I made a special trip from Sapporo by JR train to Obihiro. The two-and-a-half-hour journey took me through the mountains of central Hokkaido, finally arriving in this central city of the Tokachi Plain on the afternoon of March 13, 2026. Coincidentally, my room number was 313. When I opened the curtains, the JR train station was to my immediate right, and the Obihiro bus terminal to my immediate left. While Obihiro Station is almost encircled by hotels, the Richmond's location is absolutely superb. After getting off the train, I turned right (West Exit) from the ticket gate, walked about 30-40 meters to the end, faced a small shopping mall, and then turned right again (north side). I spotted the hotel immediately, even before exiting the building – no navigation needed! The room was spotless and incredibly comfortable. After checking in, I quickly went downstairs and explored the area around the hotel. The city was impeccably clean and remarkably quiet. I've never fallen in love with a city at first sight like this before. It's no longer just about whether the hotel is good; now I'm seriously considering moving to Obihiro. The next morning, I started my bus tour early and didn't return until after 9 PM. On the morning of the 15th, I had breakfast at the hotel's buffet restaurant. The restaurant is called 'Ye Guang Bei' (Night-glowing Cup), but it's perfectly fine for breakfast. You can get 'tipsy' even without alcohol here! I love this hotel, and I love this city."

"This hotel's central location in Obihiro was perfect for enjoying the local nightlife. We traveled by rental car, and finding parking was hassle-free with multiple options available (600 yen/day). We opted for breakfast, which was outstanding in both taste and quality. While there's a sauna, it can get quite busy and a bit cramped. If you prefer a more private experience, showering in your room is perfectly adequate. The water quality is excellent. The staff were proficient in English, so communication was smooth and effortless."

"This hotel offers incredible value for money. For breakfast, you get to choose one of three set meals; the Japanese option was quite good. The service attitude was also excellent. Our room featured a private Japanese garden view, which was very unique and picturesque – definitely worth booking this room type for photos."

"Helpful front desk staffs in making reservations of restaurants. Lack of designated seating area for friends to get together to chat. The response of the staffs are rather impolite in rushing us two couples away from the lobby corner."

"I always try to stay at Dormy Inn when in Japan as I rarely have any bad surprises and usually are well maintained & clean. Onsen and late night ramen are nice"

"I stayed overnight in Obihiro on my way back from a trip to Shihoro. There's a moor hot spring, and I warmed up in it twice. The breakfast buffet had a great view and was delicious! I'm glad I stayed here. The hotel arranged for my suitcase to be sent by courier, and I took the morning bus back to New Chitose Airport. The bus stop is right in front of the hotel."

"It was very clean and comfortable. It's a bit of a walk from the station, so it might be a bit difficult to get to if you have large luggage. The amenities were adequate, and although the facilities were a bit old, I had no complaints. Breakfast was free and very delicious."

"The welcome drink included alcohol and soft drinks that you could customize, which was nice. There was a wide variety of amenities. If you check in late, you can't choose your pillow, but you can choose the height and hardness. The location is good, but there is no convenience store nearby. The automatic check-out is easy and convenient. The elevator is narrow, so it can be cramped if there are many people in the elevator."

"First of all, the hotel is quite small and includes the lobby, the restaurant and the room itself. But more importantly, many things do not make sense. There is only one elevator in use (there is another one in the corner which is not in use), as a result, causing chaos in the rush hour. The public bath is so-called a natural hot springs but that is quite common in that area, it is open to the public so many local people use it. Upon the small restaurant, they also put a lot of unnecessary stuff to make the situation worse, e.g. they put an old engine (those you see in the museum), and the dinner table is just right next to it. In terms of service, the front desk people have very limited English ability but I notice that one of the female staff in the restaurant can speak fluently (she remind me to take out a cup of coffee in English). Honestly, it doesn't make sense....."

"I stayed for three days starting April 28, 2026. It is in a very good location in Obihiro. It is close to Obihiro Station and not far from the city center. Despite this, you can stay at a very reasonable price. Additionally, Comfort Hotel provides free breakfast to all guests. I didn't have high expectations, but they offer a more substantial breakfast than I thought. I think the service is excellent for this price. However, as it is a business hotel, the room sizes are very small. Also, there are no designated smoking areas inside or outside. If you want to smoke, you have to go to the smoking area at Obihiro Station. Since it is a business hotel, I wish they would create a separate smoking area, even if it is in a secluded location. This could be an advantage for non-smokers, though. Although it is a paid service, it is equipped with a convenient above-ground parking lot, making it convenient to use by car."
