Overview
Noboribetsu Grand Hotel is a large 241-room hotel in Noboribetsu Onsen, with three types of spring water - sulfur, saline and iron - an authentic dome-shaped Roman-style communal bath, and garden open-air baths looking out on a waterfall. Dinner is a buffet of about 70 Japanese, Western and Chinese dishes, and breakfast is a Japanese and Western buffet, so children can pick what they like. Children's shampoo and baby baths are available to borrow at the communal bath, and a private-hire bath (family bath) can be reserved, making it easy to bathe with young children without worrying about other guests. Cribs are available to borrow, and children's yukata are provided.
Rooms
Several room types suit groups: a 43 sq m Japanese-style tatami room in the Main Building, a 54 sq m large Japanese-style tatami room, a 54 sq m Japanese-Western room, and a 43 sq m Japanese-style tatami room with an open-air bath. All of them have child rates. Twin types include the 24 sq m Standard Twin (for 1-2 guests) and the 27 sq m South Wing Comfort Twin (for 1-2 guests). Every room is non-smoking; smoking is done in the smoking corners on the first and third floors. Cribs are available to borrow for guest rooms, and yukata come in children's sizes of 128-140 cm, 110-120 cm and 92-100 cm. The en-suite bathroom in the Standard Twin has a step of about 18 cm at the entrance, so watch your footing when you have a small child with you. The barrier-free room type (27 sq m) has no steps inside and has handrails and a bench in the bathroom area.
Dining
Dinner is a buffet of Japanese, Western and Chinese dishes at the third-floor restaurant Grand Hall, served from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. with last orders at 7:45 p.m. Breakfast is a Japanese and Western buffet in the same venue, from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. with last orders at 8:30 a.m. Because it is a buffet, children can choose dishes to match their own appetite and tastes. For children ages 2 through those who have not yet started elementary school, meals and futon bedding can each be selected or declined; when both are included, buffet meals and bedding are provided. Even if you choose neither, a facility admission fee still applies. Children from age 0 to under 2 stay free of charge with no meals and no bedding, and there is no need to enter them in the infant field when booking. If a child has a food allergy, let the hotel know by 3 days before the date of your stay and it will adjust the menu as far as it can.
