4-Star Hotels in Hakodate

I stayed in a D-Fourth Non smoking room on the 8th floor. The room has a nice view of Mount Hakodate from the balcony and a view of the port from the bedroom window. Room was clean and there is daily cleaning if you ask for it. Cooking utensils are available though no condiments provided. The bath system is electronic and took a while to figure out how to use it. Room was spacious and adequate for 4 of us. What we loved is that while the dryer did not really dry our clothes (separate washer and dryer), the heater in the room was strong enough to dry them and we could borrow a rack from the hotel to hang them out to dry. Only improvement we would like to suggest - we arrived when it was snowing heavily, and as we moved our luggage into the room the floor became wet and dirtied, we had to clean with tissue as there is no floor cleaner available.would be nice to provide self cleaning tools especially since there is a kitchen and things might spill. And also the balcony did not have any ‘balcony’ shoes so it was just too cold to step outside to enjoy the scenary. Nonetheless, we enjoyed our stay in the hotel. Would choose it again if we go Hakodate.

This was our first time staying in a ryokan and it was beyond our expectations by a large margin. The service was incredible, and the attentiveness and kindness of the staff was greatly appreciated. The breakfast in the room was a treat in and of itself! The location is about 45 or so mins by tram from the city centre or 12 mins by taxi. It is in the onsen part of the city with two foot bath onsens within 5 mins walking distance. The tropical nature park with the 'hot tub monkeys' are a 7 min walk away and the views are wonderful. This was really a pleasure for us both to stay here and a real highlight for our whole trip to Hokkaido. Highly reccomend!

We stayed for one night; it was clean, though the room was a bit cold and had a slight odor. We turned on the air conditioning, and everything normalized. In the evening, you can enjoy complimentary drinks. Overall, we liked the hotel and would recommend it. The room was spacious, 21 sq.m., compared to others.

The staff doesn't try to hide the unequal service offered to foreign guests compared to that of the locals. No staff member offered to help us with our luggage. The rooms have poor sound isolation and you can hear your neighbours and the room above very clearly, particularly foot steps, which make sleeping difficult.

The hotels in the Yunokawa Onsen area are generally quite average, and Umi to Akari, which is a Four Points by Marriott, is no exception. However, its price is double what you'd expect. Perhaps I booked too last minute. To be honest, for this price, I'd choose other, higher-end options, and even taking a taxi there to enjoy the hot springs would be more cost-effective. This hotel does offer day-use hot spring access. Here's my experience from a few perspectives: 1. **Hygiene:** You generally don't need to worry about hygiene in Japanese hotels, and this place is no different. 2. **Dining:** I opted for the one-night, two-meal plan, and after checking in, I realized it was the worst decision. The food quality was truly average. Although there was a lot of seafood and unlimited crab legs, it was just… mediocre. I ate one meal and never went back. I'd rather walk across the street to ”Ichimonji” for Hokkaido ramen 🍜. Coincidentally, it was a Japanese holiday, and the breakfast queue was unbelievably long 🤪. 3. **Clientele:** This hotel primarily caters to tour groups. Buses kept pulling up, dropping off loads of tourists, if you catch my drift. 4. **Accommodation:** The bed and pillows were really uncomfortable. I'll spare you the details... 5. **Hot Springs:** Clean, and the quality of the hot spring water was good. It was slightly salty, and my skin felt silky smooth after bathing. There weren't many Chinese guests, and everyone was very particular about hot spring etiquette, maintaining personal space. This was a definite plus (especially with so many tour groups staying there).

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, making the stay very comfortable from check-in to check-out. The location is excellent, only about a 3-minute walk from the tram station, which makes getting around very easy. There are also many restaurants nearby, so finding food is never a problem. The room was clean and well maintained, and the onsen was very nice and relaxing after a long day. Overall, a great stay and I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Perfect for big families to stay in, and for those driving a car. Premise is surprisingly equipped with many modern tech features. Bed is clean and comfortable enough for good night rest. Self check-in could be a huge hassle for those who are not tech savvy, as no staff is present on-site and the process is mainly done through digital communication means.

Very helpful friendly staff eager to accommodate our needs. We arrived on an early flight and left on a late flight the following day. The hotel was able to accommodate our bags both directions. We had a great room overlooking the ocean - and had the top floor with a private tub on the balcony so had one of the best rooms in the place I suspect and it totally met our expectations. The first room we were assigned smelled of smoke so we were quickly moved to a nicer room which is testament for checking in early. Our booking included breakfast which was OK but nothing to write home about. Check the times though as breakfast finishes early and there may be better choices earlier.

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 facilities are quite new. Dazheng Heping has two styles of hot springs. This time I lived in a Dazheng style room. I hope I can live in Pingcheng style next time. The sea view from the window is OK, after all, there is still a short distance from the beach. The only dissatisfaction is that the air conditioner in the room cannot be adjusted. If the window is not opened in the room, it is very stuffy. I even have to take off my clothes to sleep. If it is cold outside, I should also give the right to adjust the indoor temperature to the guests. Everyone has a different sense of temperature.
