Overview
Royal Hotel Odate is a business hotel a 4-minute walk from JR Odate Station, with natural onsen communal baths for men and women on the fifth floor. Children under elementary school age stay free of charge when co-sleeping, while a co-sleeping child of elementary school age or older who has breakfast pays an additional 1,200 yen per person. Children under junior high school age cannot stay on their own and must share a room with a guardian. Every room has a humidifier with an air-purifying function, which is worth keeping in mind when choosing a room for a stay with a baby or toddler.
Rooms
There are four room types: Standard Single (11.3 sq m or 13.3 sq m, with a single bed 120 cm wide), Deluxe Single (14.5 sq m, with a single bed 140 cm wide), Twin (two single beds 110 cm wide), and Studio Twin, where the beds are arranged in an L shape (single beds 110 cm and 120 cm wide). Every room has a humidifier with an air-purifying function, so families sharing a room with a baby or toddler can look after the air quality.
Dining
Breakfast is served as a buffet with a daily-changing menu built around local ingredients and homemade dishes. The specialties are dashi chazuke, rice served with a broth made from Hinai-jidori chicken, and a tsumire soup of minced dumplings in Hinai-jidori broth, and the rice is Akitakomachi grown in Akita Prefecture. Breakfast costs 1,200 yen per person, including tax, and is served in the first-floor restaurant Villa Royal from 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. on weekdays and from 6:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. on weekends and public holidays. Staying guests can also enjoy free yonaki ramen, a half portion of light soy-sauce ramen, from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at Shogetsu on the first floor. Children under elementary school age stay free of charge when co-sleeping, while a co-sleeping child of elementary school age or older who has breakfast pays an additional 1,200 yen per person.
Baths and Onsen
The fifth floor has the natural onsen communal baths Ikoi no Yu, separated for men and women, where guests can soak in sodium-calcium sulfate-chloride spring water.
