Paramushir Tur

Top choice in Esso


The only real hotel in town, the Paramushir Tur has spotlessly clean, comfortable rooms, helpful staff and is set in rather cutesy grounds at the base of Pioneer Hill. There's a great pool, sauna and barbecue area popular with weekenders, and the poolside cabins sleep three people. Pricey wi-fi is available.
