Excellent location, close to attractions. Spacious rooms and delicious breakfast.
Classy hotel with excellently furnished room that is spacious enough for three adults. Room is clean and well maintained. Staff is polite and helpful. The public bath is excellent and offers a great view of the harbourfront.
We stayed in two different rooms. Both had ocean views, but the corner view room was in the tower closer to the bay and had a much better view. They have two restaurant options for breakfast. Very good food, with lots of options. Onsen is on the 13th floor. Large rooms for the price.
Fantastic and friendly bar staff. Front office staff very helpful. Great location. Great buffet breakfast selection. Highly recommended.

The clean room, the friendly staff, the enjoyment of bath on the top floor, and the fantastic breakfast made our stay excellent. This was our second time to stay at your hotel and we were very satisfied with it.

This hotel is in an excellent area, close to the train station, fish market, churches and Christmas tree. The room was great and so was breakfast. They even let me borrow an umbrella for the day. Staff is fantastic! Definitely recommend this hotel for its location, service and affordability.
We really enjoyed the hotel. Breakfast in both the regular buffet and Japanese meal were awesome, but the wait for the buffet was long. The hotel was in a great location for all sightseeing in the area. It would be nice to have recycling boxes in the rooms to collect paper and bottles.
We had a pleasant stay and enjoyed the hotel buffet breakfast (great if you want to build your own seafood rice bowl) and the Japanese style breakfast that was offered. The room’s AC was cold and we also tried out the public onsen. After the onsen, you can enjoy a free popsicle, which was a nice touch. The hotel is ~10 minute walk to the JR station.
The only downside we noticed is the bathroom in the hotel room kept smelling like sewage and was not very pleasant.
This hotel is large and has everything you need in a great location. However, the only downside was that the body wash in the room became watery for some reason on the second day. Although I replaced it with a new one after talking to the front desk, it was still disappointing. Other than that, the hotel's breakfast and hot spring facilities were excellent.
True four star hotel experience in laid back fishing village Hakodate!
Grand lobby, cafe with exclusive tea offerings, several world class restaurants on-site with renowed chefs (that locals would come for special occasions).
Osen is on penthouse of the tallest building and offers free hokkaido fruit and milk popsicles to cool off in the after bath lounge area. But condition of osen is extremely dated. Sad that it doesn't really highlight the great view that the outdoor bath would have (in fact it is wasted). I think renovation for this old building might be prohibitvely expensive.
Rooms can be large and nicely refurbished in very classy style. West wing has some 500 sq ft plus room that features a huge circular window giving panoramic view of mont hakodate, red brick warehouses, and the bay/harbour.
Buffet breakfast is grand, has great food selection, but management appears to be too old school. They just don't seem to "get" modern buffet management. Should take some note from Premier Cabin or JR Inn.
Overall just thankful for sustaining an affordable 4 star experience in the Heart of Hakodate.

Unpleasant Odor in the Room
Hello. I stayed at your hotel from July 9th to 13th. Overall, I was very satisfied with the service and the food — everything was excellent.
However, I did experience some discomfort due to a persistent unpleasant smell in the room, which resembled a sewer or bathroom odor. Additionally, the hallway and walking space in the room, where three people stayed, felt rather narrow. The area around the table and separate chairs also felt quite cramped.
I’m not sure if improvements are possible, but I believe the overall guest experience would be even better if the in-room environment could be enhanced a bit.
Thank you very much.

Room was perfect. We love the Japanese Style Omakase breakfast buffet and the downstairs breakfast buffet. Staff are very friendly. We would stay here again.
The room is very outdated and doesn’t look like their advertised photos at all. The lobby is located in the newer building but the room they put us in was actually in an older building. Everything inside the room was very old with strangely bad smell. There was strong cigarette smell inside the elevators. I wish the hotel could been more honest and done a better job at disclosing their current room conditions so customers know what they get themselves into. Please do your own research before booking this hotel.

I had to rent the room last-minute. The room was cheap despite the hotel being extremely fancy and well-run. The restaurants inside were very high quality and had very expensive options.
