Cosmo st Inn, Noboribetsu
After Sapporo this is our second holiday stop, 3 days 5 nights, a more traditional kinda style Inn, so to speak, a semi D type house nestled between other home owners on a fairly quiet side street in Noboribetsu.
You can hear the highway noise, from not too far, even the sea at night.
A two storied house, with enough beds to sleep a family of 10, a tatami room for those inclined to sleep more the Japanese way (the nicest room of the lot, rest all super cramped!
The first impression was that of a really strong musty smell when entering the house, something we highlighted to the operators, but ok for a three day stay! Still…….
Wifi is wonky, need to find & reset the router! My goodness! Be careful with roaming charges!
Living room spacious, plenty of seats and chairs, medium sized TV by today’s standards, an outdoor terrace style wooden deck with cover and a BBQ for those inclined to use! (I actually sat out there whenever we were in)
The bath a challenge with separate sink area, washer etc. kinda weird set up, but worked out ok! Shower was excellent!
Toilet, you better be slim, super tight and no fan! Sigh…. Looked really old!
The kitchen large but only 2 gas burners, yet all other gadgets available, (found 3 more portable ones hidden on top of shelf) microwave. Toaster, boiler, etc etc! Tons of chinaware, glasses and so on, but hardly any teaspoons! Fridge decent size, basic pantry items available, but most jars haven’t been cleaned on ages!
We decided to sleep on the ground floor double bed bedroom, beds comfy, aircon somewhat noisy! Also to note, only a single overly bright light on the ceiling, NO bedside lamps! 😢
Over all the place was ok, but really aged, full with all kinds of little nick knacks, giving it, despite spacious a cluttered kind of feel.
Would we come back? To the city for sure, the place to stay? Probably search a bit more! Price fairly high, but if a family of 10 would travel definitely worth!
