If you have a rental car, the location is great. They also don't charge for parking! The accommodation is clean, has a balcony, and there's a convenience store nearby. We had both breakfast and dinner, and the food was nicely prepared and presented. About 95% of the guests were Japanese. The bedding was good, and everything was great, but what stood out the most was the onsen water. I've been to many places in Japan, but I think the seawater onsen here is the best; it makes your skin so smooth!

The hotel's location is convenient. While there's no particular view, there's a small balcony. The room is also quite spacious. For this price, it includes a dinner buffet and a breakfast buffet, both of which are excellent quality with a good variety of choices. This offers extremely high value for money.

The room was spotless and very comfortable. I really enjoyed the different hot springs since the baths were rotated morning and evening. The hairdryer wasn't very powerful, which was a minor drawback, but they also had a facial steamer. The food, both dinner and breakfast, was delicious and there was a great variety. All the staff members were polite and friendly. It was a wonderful trip!

The meals at this unexpected stay in Hakodate were outstanding, and I was truly moved by the receptionist’s fluent English – a rare experience in Japan. Thanks to their helpful guidance, I had a comfortable and relaxing time.

I hv requested a king size bed when I booked 6weeks in advanced my stay but they didnt give me a king size bed. The room is tiny with a corridor and separated shower area and toilet. I feel the room design is not efficient and uses up many space which doesnt allow guests to open the luggage. Onsen was good. Their water makes the skin soft and smooth. Because of its hotel capacity there are many guests and onsen area is quite crowded. Breakfast was excellent but they close shape at 9am. You are requested to hv breakfast at either 7am or 8am. That is too early for me. In general nice stay but could hv been better.
Response from Property: Thank you for sharing your feedback about your recent stay. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced regarding your bed request. We will take your feedback regarding the room design into consideration. We appreciate your valuable comments.We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the hot spring baths and breakfast.

It was the best. The public bath was really nice. I also recommend the breakfast. But the location is a bit questionable. I think Goryugaku or Hakodate Station would be better.

The food is good, it's clean, and there's an open-air bath. In fact, everything is good except for the location.

It was a Western-style room with a balcony, a view of the ocean in the distance, and a pleasant breeze from outside.
I chose the two-meal plan, and the variety, presentation, and quality of both dinner and breakfast were so good that I wanted to try a little bit of everything. I'd definitely like to return.
The large public bath was smaller than I expected, and the steam sauna I was looking forward to was out of order, so I couldn't use it, but they did provide ice cream and haskap water for after my bath, which were delicious.
There were only two elevators, so it was sometimes difficult to use them during check-in and check-out.
However, the elevators were on separate routes to the front desk, restaurant, and bath, so it was easy to get around.
In the evening, I enjoyed playing table tennis (1,100 yen per hour).
