The location of this hotel can't be faulted, right in front of JR Hakodate station. Very easy for first time visitors. And it's close to everything you need. I found the staff warm, friendly and helpful. The bed was also quite comfortable. However my room was located next to the lift and a bit noisy. I would normally give my... More

The room is unbelievably stinks of cigarette . I couldn't breathe. Can't turn around in the bathroom. Stinks everywhere. No air. Claustrophobic in the bathroom. No character, not even good enough to crush in for a night. Been here two hours can't wait to check out. Staff was friendly. Walls are paper thin. Can't even suggest it if you are... More

Located just across JR Hakodate Station, it makes a good location for amateur travellers. The walk to Hakodate Morning Market is incredibly short and you can eat lots of fresh seafood. The hotel is located in the central and within walking distrance to all the surrounding tourist spots. I left a mobile phone charger in the previous hotel and requested... More

Booked 2 nites in twin room, we were given a bigger room with 3 beds, really make good use of the spare bed for our packing/unpacking. Hotel is easy to spot, just across the Hakodate JR Station, with a big smiley face. However, it was raining and windy, not easy to cross the parking & roads to get to hotel,... More

We paid 4800yen for 1 night at this hotel. The room was slightly larger than expected since we were already expecting an extremely small room after our nights at other hotels in the nights prior to this. It is located just opposite the train station and is also near a tram station.

We arrived early evening and were delighted to see the building as soon as we exited the train station. A twin room with a capsule style bathroom. Some people would find these claustrophobic but it was perfectly adequate for us. A deep soaking bathtub with a hand held shower, a sink and a toilet with the bidet seats Japan is... More

The hotel is western style. It's a basic hotel but if you are in transit it's a perfect choice. Just in front of JR station. Hotel has a laundry and personnel is very kind. The price compared to quality is very good.

First impression from sight at JR station - it looks like a small factory. Booked 2 rooms - double and triple share for 2 nights. Good location, near the JR station. Experience at checkin counter was not good. Staff lacks sincerity and does not bother to even put on a smile. This is totally different from all other hotels we've... More
