Hotel berhampiran Shirataki, Hakodate

What a wonderful experience! We were amazed at the selection of fresh seafood for breakfast and dinner. This is by far the best hotel seafood buffet for sure! The facilities are clean, rooms are spacious and tidy, overall ambience is great! Onsen is nice and relaxing. It is a bit far away from JR Hakodate station and does require you to either take taxi or bus. The hotel was offering a small hotel shuttle at the time which was nice however must reserve with the hotel before hand. The lady driving the shuttle bus was very nice and even gave us some traveling tips for the local area! Thank you! Special thanks to Mr. Yoshida-san at the front reception. He had noticed that one of the shuttle times we had reserved was not available that day, so he took extra effort to make sure we made it to the earlier shuttle time to make it back to the hotel. Thank you Yoshida-san! I really would like to come back and stay at Umi to Akari soon. It was a wonderful experience! Wish the best of success to this hotel!

函館駅から市電に乗って五稜郭公園前駅に行くと、ほとんど目の前にあるホテルです。空港に行く「とびっこ」バスのバス停もすぐそばです。室内の広さや、アメニティの種類も十分でした。個人的にはパジャマのあるのが便利でした。PCやスマートフォンの充電器やケーブルまで部屋にあったので、うっかり忘れたときにも助かりますね。 一つだけ、シャワーカーテンを広げるとよくない臭いがしたので、「清潔感」の項目は１つ減らします。

The front desk staff did not provide clear explanations during check-in and only gave guests a single English introduction to read on their own. This will cause confusion and inconvenience. This hotel is convenient for self-driving travelers, as it has partnered with nearby parking lots to ensure ample parking space. Apartment-style hotel providing fully equipped facilities as there is no need to go outside to find a laundry store(remember to buy laundry detergent). The hotel hot spring is great, guests can watch TV while enjoying hot springs. The rooms are spacious, and some even offer sea views from the windows. Without a doubt, I highly recommend this hotel for a truly delightful stay.

The hotel location is opp the station and is mins away to the supermarket for all u need. The room at 11 floor was great for 3 pax. Breakfast was simple with drinks station. U can relax in morning for a simple breakfast before exploring the small quiet town.

We appreciate the location of the hotel next to the JR Hakodate station. There is a 7-11 and some sort of supermarket on level 1 of the station, next to hotel. Lawson mini-mart is a stone’s throw away. The hotel room that we booked were located on 8th floor. There are only 2 lifts which are pretty small. Probably enough for 5-6 pax with 4-5 pieces of luggage’s will fill up a lift. If you stay on the lower levels, and during peak hour of checking out, good luck to you then! The lifts will be filled with guests from the upper storeys and their luggages. This hotel is not suitable for large groups of travellers as the waiting time for lifts is frustrating. Bathroom amenities are located on lobby level, so make sure you collect them before going up after checking in. There is also a pillow section which displays different sizes and types of hardness, with beads or cotton within. So take your pick of the pillow, and remember your pillow casings! On level 12 is a lounge where you can get your morning coffee daily from a coffee machine, FOC. Books there are all in Japanese language so we didn’t get to read as we are not literate in the language. The bathroom has good water pressure, albeit small for bigger sized Caucasians, and may create a claustrophobic feeling within a small confinement for the toilet and bathroom. The bed mattress is firm and we are ok with it. The location of the hotel is a little far from ABC-Mart, and also Uniqlo, Muji and other big stores. The hotel is next to a bus interchange where you can take different buses to various places of attraction, but buses arrive at different time intervals.

just opposite the jr station which is super convenient. The morning market is located at the next street only while tram is just few steps away. the amenities are free flow before 10pm at the lobby, including facial care and even facial mask. however, the room is a bit hot even though the temperature outside was -1 because the window gap was so small. Tried to switch off the aircon but it was still hot. Overall quite worth it.

The location was excellent - 3mins walk from the station, right next to the morning market and a Lawson. Washer/dryer in the room was a huge plus, though the pre-set drying was not enough. The onsen was relatively small but the infinity onsen made up for it.

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.

とてもきれいなホテル！ベットは、硬さも寝心地もとても良かったぁ私好みでした。各部屋にWi-Fiも付いていてめっちゃ良い！スタッフの方たちの対応も親切でとても良かったです。夜にサービスでのカレーライスもとても美味しかった。無料の朝のご飯もとても美味しかったです。コチラへ来る機会があれば、再度宿泊したいな！価格も安い！ただ、周辺には、徒歩で行けるような飲食店など無かったので今後に期待ですね！ おすすめです！
