Hotel berhampiran Biara Trappistine, Hakodate

I really enjoyed my stay here. The location is perfect, being conveniently situated right within the JR station. The room was spacious and offered a great view, and the public bath was a lovely way to relax. I also appreciated the unique ”pillow corner” where you can choose your preferred pillow for a better night's sleep. One helpful tip for future guests: if you have any requests or queries, it is much easier to go to the front desk in person. The staff are wonderful, but most do not speak English, which can make it difficult to communicate effectively over the hotel phone.

Hotel presiden kabin utama terletak hanya 200m dari stesen JR Hakodate. Hotel standard dan terkenal yang mengadakan acara (bilik jamuan dll…) Namun begitu bagi peringkat hotel ini terdapat kekurangan kemudahan seperti kemudahan gim atau mata air panas. Keseluruhan penginapan yang baik pada harga yang sederhana/tinggi.

I booked the hotel a few months ago so I could get a very good price for staying with OMO5. Very comfortable and energetic hotel, especially the common area was a place for relaxing and chill. They have a different set up during the day and at night. The highlight of this hotel is the free shuttle bus services, going around the city, and the paid shuttle service to go up the hill to see the sunset. You would be knowing how chaotic it could be up there so it’s good to have a shuttle bus bringing you up and down back to the hotel door. Also, the hotel offer free tours and I joined the free market walking tour and a bus tour to Onuma National Park. By staying one night, I could use the services before the check in and after the check out, so basically it covered 2 days activities when I was in Hakodate. it’s a super value offer, and I really feel this hotel group has thoughts from traveler’s perspective and try their best to give the best experience and to help reducing hassles for us. Definitely I will book with hotels under Hoshino Resort Group again. Thank you very much.

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.

Check in/out is easy & auto. Storage room is big & convenient to do by yourself. Room is standard small size. Air-con is centralize system, cannot change the mode cool/heat, but you can open the window a bit.

Stayed here last week during heavy snowfall, and choosing this ryokan turned out to be the perfect decision. Check-in was detailed and thoughtful. The butler, who I believe was named Junko, spent about 30 minutes explaining the room, amenities, and house rules, using picture cards and translation tools due to limited English, which made the process clear and smooth. The room was cosy with a beautiful ocean view. The furnishings are not modern, but that is part of the charm, as it feels like stepping back into the 80s or 90s while still being well maintained and fully functional. Heating was sufficient even in temperatures of -5 to -10 degrees. The room was clean, and the bedding was prepared during dinner and folded again at breakfast, which made us feel very well taken care of. We pre-ordered dinner and breakfast via Trip.com and requested a beef and crab set in advance, which was accommodated. The portions were very generous, and while the food may not be top-tier, it was better than many ryokans I have stayed at. There is a private onsen available free for the first use for 45 minutes, with additional charges for subsequent sessions. The onsen closes daily at 10am for cleaning. The ryokan is located in Yunokawa Onsen, about 30 minutes from town. I recommend dining in, as going out requires a walk and staying in allows you to fully enjoy the experience. Overall, a very pampering stay. Highly recommended for those looking for a five-star level ryokan experience.

We had a wonderful stay at Hakodate Kokusai Hotel. The location is excellent, just a short walk from the train station, making it very convenient for exploring Hakodate. The breakfast was one of the highlights of our stay. There was a great selection, including fresh seafood, beef, and other meat dishes, offering something for everyone. The quality and variety made each morning a real treat. We also thoroughly enjoyed the onsen experience. It was clean, relaxing, and the perfect way to unwind after a day of sightseeing. Overall, Hakodate Kokusai Hotel offers a great combination of convenience, excellent dining, and relaxing facilities. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Hakodate.

Kudos to this hotel. My stay there was amazing. The hotel is close to streetcar station, but during winter it still pretty challenging to pull your luggage. That is expected situation for any hotel in Hokkaido 😆. The receptionist was really helpful. She help to call taxi for me when I don’t know how to do so.

One of the best things about our stay was how spacious and comfortable the room was. There was plenty of space to move around, unpack luggage, and relax after a full day of sightseeing, which made a big difference during our trip. We also really appreciated having a bathtub in the room. It was perfect for soaking and unwinding at the end of the day. Another feature that stood out was the in-room washing machine, which was incredibly convenient during our travels. Being able to do laundry without having to search for a laundromat made our stay much more comfortable and stress-free. Overall, the hotel provided great value for money with practical amenities that made it feel like a home away from home. We would definitely consider staying here again when visiting Hakodate.

Good location to visit goryokaku tower. The room is good and comfort.
