Cari Hotel 3-Star di Hakodate

Located just 5 minutes walk from the train station, and next to the seafood market. Excellent breakfast buffet, wish I had more time to enjoy the variety of foods. The elevator acted a bit strange, kept skipping the second floor going down. We ended up taking the stairs.

It’s just next to JR Hakodate station, bus terminus is just in front of the hotel and the city tram stop is within 5 mins walking distance. The morning fish market is just nearby across the road from JR Hakodate station. The buffet breakfast is good with a wide variety including frozen grapes, frozen berries etc. Also, the Hakodate Tourist Information Center is located within JR Hakodate Station. I made full use of my 2D 1N stay in Hakodate by purchasing the “Hakodate Special Ticket 2025”(はこだてスペシャルチケット2025) from the Tourist Information Center. The ticket includes ”Transportation Ticket” City Tram 1-Day Pass + ”12-Points Ticket” (1 point = ¥250) and covers admission fees to Goryokaku Tower, Old Public Hall of Hakodate Ward and Mt. Hakodate Ropeway (two-way).

The lovely old gentleman serving as at night was one of the best front desk staff I’ve ever met. We originally planned to arrive at the property in the afternoon. However, our flight was cancelled and we had to seek alternative, delaying our arrival time until 23:00. When we arrive, we thought we will be self-checking in. But as we step inside the property from a heavy snow, we saw this kind gentleman waiting for us right at the door. He greeted us, helped us check in, and explained everything clearly. He offered us free flow free drinks and free ice cream (which was also very tasty) When we wanted to have some late night snacks bought from a convenient store, he also helped us reheat the food. 誠にありがとうございます！ Everything else was great as well! The room was comfortable, the breakfast was yummy, and it’s so nice to have a hot spring after out in the cold for the entire day.

Not the closest from JR station, but just a straight walk for 10m around. So you get closer to local eatong area of 大門橫町! There are supermarkets, convince stores and tram station in a street walk. There is breakfast, many options of choices; self-service bar for soft, hot and cold drinks and snacks and even alcoholic items too; complimentary noodles at night time Washing machine, comic books, hot-spring spa, bike rental are all available. Also capsule or standard rooms as of your budgets. The staffs are kind and helpful, please keep your works, especially showing extra helps (foods and energy drinks) for runners on marathon race just same day.Thanks a lot🙏

By Japanese hotel standards, the room was surprisingly spacious. We were able to open two large suitcases at the same time and still have enough room to move around comfortably. The location is also very convenient. The nearest tram station is about a 5–10 minute walk away, while the airport bus stop is only around 3 minutes from the hotel. The hotel does not offer breakfast, but I would especially recommend trying The Hakodate Morning Market for a great start to the day and one of the local ramen shops for lunch.

The hotel is conveniently located, literally about 5 minutes from the station, which is great if you are travelling with luggage. The room had the basic essentials, and the area is surrounded by many restaurants. However, for the price, I expected more. The room for two people was extremely small: basically just a bed, a very narrow table with almost no usable space, one chair, and a fridge. The space under the bed for suitcases is a smart idea, but it does not really solve the problem, as there is simply nowhere comfortable to sit or spend time in the room. Another thing I found strange was that there was a Bible and The Book of Mormon in the room. At first, I thought previous guests had left them behind, so I went downstairs to ask, and was told that this was official hotel literature. I found this confusing and unnecessary. A charger was also provided, but it was not clearly marked as a hotel item, so at first I thought it had been left behind by another guest and that the room had not been cleaned properly. The hotel provides various disposable amenities, but surprisingly there were no toothbrushes. Overall, the experience was not great. The location is convenient, but the room size, check-in experience, and some strange details made the stay disappointing.

Clean, quite spacious for Japanese standards. Close to the station (3 minutes walk) and walkable distance to the main sights - around 20 minutes by feet to the old town and harbor. For the price it's a bargain.

Cool little hotel hidden away in a corner of Hakodate. It's still walking distance from the station and other sights, the price is extremely affordable and they have snacks machines in the lobby. I got a very ”chilly” vibe from the lobby - the staff are just standing around in silence, no music, seems kind of dreary? They could do something to make the lobby area seem more pleasant and fun, but overall I was happy to get such a great deal, and I would stay there again.

Walking distance to all the attractions. Accessible by bus right from Hakodate station. Stayed in the annex building but had enough amenities for guests. Free self-laundry. Simple and tasty, nutritious breakfast. Would go back there again.

The location is quite far outside. For a normal tourist in Hakodate, this is probably not the most ideal spot. I previously stayed at another guest house on the other side of town, next to the old Motomachi, and I'm here for another two days. I preferred the other guest house, but that's partly because my right ear is inflamed, so I can't use the onsen, which is probably the main reason to come here. The capsule hotel itself is totally fine and does what it's meant to do.
