Parking was taken care of by personnel who reserve a spot on arrival and during our stay there. Breakfast buffet was plentiful and full of choices in a spacious dining hall. Room was value for money. Location was good as access to city was easy. Staff at hotel was very helpful.

Overall, this place was accessible, easy enough to find with a parking garage BEHIND the hotel. Note this if you are driving as otherwise you will need to circle the block to get to parking. The only reason for 1 star off is that we could not get the AC to work in our room despite using translation and thus the room was constantly stuffy.

We loved the location, a tram stop right in front of the hotel and a Family Mart attached. Less than 10 minutes to Goryokaku Tower/park. The laundry onsite was reasonably affordable. The room was relatively large as well as the bathroom, and the pajamas they provided were our most comfortable that we slept in in Japan. However, the lobby reeks of cigarette smoke as we did not know that was their smoking area and often fills into the elevator. Also, we skipped on their breakfast buffet as it seemed high priced for what was available.

Excellent location - easy to get from the airport to the hotel via public transit. Right next to several bus lines and the streetcar so you can easily get around. I saw way more in Hakodate than I anticipated because of the ease of grabbing public transportation. Lots of restaurants in the area too and a family mart attached for easy snacking. Very pleasant stay.

Our bedroom was so huge with tons of space. The bathroom is also spacious and very clean. It has an air conditioner and the room is very clean. The amenities are nice and they also provide amenities for the kids. They have a laundry washer and dryer in one for 600 yen. The breakfast have tons of options and very yummy where kids and adults can enjoy the food. This hotel is also near the shopping and eating area plus near the Hakodate airport. We will definitely come back and stay here again when we visit Hakodate!

The hotel is in a great location, only being about a 10min walk from Goryokaku Park. The staff were very nice and always helpful no matter what time of day. There was construction going on at the time but this was communicated to us after we booked and also upon arrival, and the noise was minimal. The room was a decent size with a good sized bathroom, but the bathroom had hair on the floor and the sheets and quilt covers had stains on them when we checked into our room. There is also a Family Mart attached to the hotel which is very convenient.

There is a convenience shop on the ground floor of the hotel. It is much better to walk to Goryokaku Tower than taking piblic transport from the hotel as the tower is only a short 10-15mins walk from the hotel. Use the back entrance of the hotel which will help you cut down on the walking distance. You can also enjoy walking through the private residential areas and admire the pretty flowers along the road side and houses. We booked 2 rooms and unfortunately one of our room toilet had a terrible stench. We did not raise this as an issue to the hotel staff since we were only there for a night's stay and were quite tired out from being out sight seeing the whole day. Room is very small, which is very typical of a Japanese hotel room within this price range.
