Hotel berhampiran Goryokaku Tower, Hakodate

The best thing about this hotel is its location as it is very close to the train station and to the restaurants and pubs of Hakodate. The twin room we booked was very basic, with enough space for two big luggages to be opened fully. Unfortunately, there is no free parking space as you are asked to pay for parking fee even in their designated parking spaces.

Hotel location is prime, nearby there are restaurants and convenient stores. To the famous fish market, it is less than 10 mins walking distance. Hotel room is new and clean. There is onsen located in hotel as well, small but with all necessary pools.

The room is big and comfortably host 3 adults. We are pleasantly surprised to find a washing machine and other kitchen equipment in the room. Not to mention the walk in closet. It’s a full service apartment than a hotel room. The location is a bit far from public transport and attractions. However, the balcony with a fantastic sea view is to well worth the effort spent getting to the hotel. The hotel is also reasonably priced, considering that it was a peak season (summer vacation period).

Location was superb and facilities were adequate for the price. Outdoor onsen with great guest lounge on the 12F. Walking distance to all the major attractions ie. Morning Market, Red Brick House. Only drawback was pillow options runs out quickly, first come first serve & pillow served in the room is too soft. Maybe it’s a Japanese thing. Small issue & will definitely recommend!

Nice location next to the Hakodate market. Walking distance to most of the attractions around Hakodate city. Hotel is also pretty new and car park is provided at 1000 yen a day

I have booked 2 different rooms for 3 nights. I was told to check out on the 2nd day at 11am and come back to check in again for the new room but the check in time was unsure. On the day, when I checked out at 11am, the staff gave me the new room Key already - so the new room was already ready. It would Be much better if I was being informed in advance so that I didn’t need to carry my luggage’s to the lobby and go back up to the same floor when the new room was actually next to my Old one………

This was the perfect location to stay overnight on our trip between Asahikawa and Tokyo. We had travelled by train from Sapporo and were switching to the Shinkansen at Shin Hakodate Hokuto. We had booked a room with two beds which turned out to be either double or queen. We also hadn't realised that the hotel has an onsen, so this was a particularly nice surprise. The beds were good, and the Japanese style pillows were okay, too - sometimes they can be a bit hard, or too fat. The hotel is clean and modern with nice toiletries and yukata supplied. The only slight disappointment was that the restaurant was closed on the night we stayed (a Friday), but there is a Ramen restaurant downstairs in an adjacent shopping area, and this was fine.

This was a relaxing and beautiful trip to Onuma, Hakodate and visited with our Japanese sister in law and her husband. Lovely, peaceful accommodations and room amenities, including resort ware/slippers. Some amenities included spa/sauna, complimentary room items, and wifi. We noticed that a bit of the resort maintenance can be looked into such as exterior painting near dock walkway, exterior paneling and outdoor deck flooring near our room spa. Also filling juice containers in train themed bar room could be attended to. Otherwise, staff/service was professional and hospitable. Surrounding garden and walkways were well maintained with seasonal flowers. We enjoyed a French themed dinner, which can include a requested sommelier. The on site bakery was a plus, but note that some days they are closed. After enjoying our stay, we actually requested an extra day to explore nearby restaurants and parks/lake. We were thoroughly relaxed and look forward to a future visit.

This hotel is located pretty deep in the woods, it's a bit scary to drive there after dark, but once you reach the main building, there's a large parking lot close by. (There are a few buses go to the hotel as well, but beware nothing is within the walking distance) The hotel is quite big but somehow has a cozy feeling I can't really tell why, probably due to a combination of lighting, texture and smells. This is most obvious in the guest rooms. My room wasn't very big. It didn't look fancy, it didn't even have a view (just trees outside). But I still felt comfortable just to be there and I enjoyed my stay. The hotel was also a lot quieter than I expected, with fewer tourist groups than other major hotels I stayed in Hokkaido recently. They do have a laundry room for guests, which is very rare for a hotel at this level. The one thing that disappointed me was the dinner. Yes the restaurant had a good view to the lighted swamp outside, but the portion was ridiculously small and the taste wasn't good enough for the price tag. Because there's nothing within walking distance, I had to drive out to the nearest convenience store to get more food. The breakfast buffet was great though, with a huge selection of items and good taste. The hot spring bath was pretty small, but had a unique setting that feels like it's connected to the lighted swamp outside. When someone enters the pool, water will spill out into the swamp below (I believe). The bathing experience was natural and tranquil. You can also walk into the woods around the hotel to experience more of the local nature (though there are a lots of bugs). Overall I think this hotel feels pleasant and is surprisingly cost effective if you skip the dinner.
