Onsen

Breakfast

The sea view room with private onsen on the balcony is wonderful. The room is spacious and nicely designed and the view of the ocean is beautiful. The buffet dinner is very good but a little expensive.

Hotel was a little bit strange. We never had a worst first impression of a hotel. We arrived early at noon and the hotel seemed to be abandoned. The entrance outside is not very nice (no to say horrible) for what we were expecting and at the lobby, there was an impressive emptiness. We made the check in and at first we were harschly told that the check in time was at 3 PM, despite we never ask for entering the room before that time! We were also disappointed, that there was no cafe or bar we could enter to wait for the check in time! In the evening we saw a coffee mashine at the lobby (self service), but nobody told us about this "service". The room in contast was very nice! Renovated with a private Onsen with ocean view. The only negative point of the room was the fact that there was no Minibar (there is a fridge but empty) or coffee mashine (only instant coffee). We could find some cups for tea but no teaspoon!!!! The breakfast was ok but I was shocked to see that the guests didn´t used gloves for the buffet, which in times of Covid-19 is very risky! We liked the room with the private onsen, but the rest of the hotel is not very welcoming (specially not for this price!). Before leaving the hotel, we couldn´t find the second keycard, for what the person at the lobby wanted us to pay USD 10.- and this after paying a little bit more than USD 500.- for one night! Fortunately we found the card, because I didn´t want to leave one more cent in this hotel!

Very far away from any tourist attraction of Hakodate! For the rest see above.

A beautiful traditional hotel with wonderful staff, delicious buffet, beautiful views and a private hot spring. Very romantic. What an experience!
