Not bad considering the fee per night.

Cozy and clean budget hotel

Initially I wanted to go for a trip by car but I was too late to get both the air ticket and the rental car reservation as I wanted. So I went for a city trip to Hakodate on foot and by public transport. This is very well possible by the famous tramway and buses too.

Easily to reach from the JR Station by taxi - cost was Y790 going Y630 returning to the station early Sunday morning. Had sea view which may have been nice but we were there during a typhoon so saw large waves. At ledge at the end of the hallway the inside window ledge was wet and just about perished but our room clean warm and dry. A 7-Eleven shop was about 250 metres from the hotel and very convenient. The men at the reception seemed helpful with limited English. The lift door was super fast so we had to be quick to get in and out.

Slightly away from central area , within 15 minutes of walking distance. However , free parking is great for visitors with own transport. Reception was lukewarm , with hardly any knowledge of spoken English . Non-accommodating when a twin room was requested. Breakfast was set Japanese style , good but inadequate.

Staff was poor in communication and hardly speak any English. Rather rigid and unaccomodating when we requeat for a twin room instead of double. Location not too far from town center but it's better to drive to Mount Hakodate or places further away. Sea view rooms were not worth paying for as what we saw was rocky beach and grey sky. Only good thing was free parking . Breakfast was set Japanese food , rather good but inadequate. Like most Japanese hotels , check in is very late and checkout time too early.

The wifi connection is good and parking space is close to the main entrance.

The location was OK. The seaside effect was refreshing but the room has very strong stale smoke smell. Rather old hotel that needs upgrading.

Basic stay with reasonable room size (bigger than semi-double rooms size generally in Japan). A dated hotel, but provide free parking fee. A distant from city center, good for self-drive tourists. Weak Wi-Fi.

The hotel is right on the beach - good for walks but about 8 mins walk from the tram stop and 15 minutes from the railway station - all flat walking. Taxi to station cost Y710. Older style but perfectly adequate - I would definitely stay there again. Ask for a room overlooking the sea.. Staff most helpful.
