Hakodate Hotels with balcony

I absolutely love Hanabishi Hotel — I had the best 2-night stay here. The hotel is quiet with no large tour groups, and I really enjoyed the traditional feel and relaxing vibes. I tried all of their room types, and my favorite is the futon room with a private onsen. The futon is very comfortable, and the room itself is incredibly spacious. The staff are friendly and helpful, even assisting me with arranging taxi service. The location is convenient, only about a 10-minute drive from Hakodate Airport. I also loved both the breakfast buffet and the dinner set — they truly pampered me like I was the queen of the world. The public onsen is beautiful and huge. I will forever choose to stay here whenever I’m in the area.

This was a very clean and nice unit. It's right on the ocean, and within short driving distance of most destinations in Hakodate. We spent 2 nights here but would've loved to stay longer. The house is very clean, well-decorated, and the internet is very very quick. It was my favourite place to stay during our roadtrip throughout Hokkaido. One small annoyance is there is some construction on the lot nearby, but that noise only occurs during work hours.

We arrived at the hotel in the evening after enjoying the scenic coastal drive from Lake Toya. Check-in was straightforward, and the front desk staff were efficient and welcoming. Our bedroom was clean and well-equipped with a microwave, stove and washing machine. We particularly appreciated having a washer in the room, as it saved us the time and inconvenience of having to use the communal laundry facilities. However, one drawback was the absence of cooking utensils and cutlery, which made it difficult to make full use of the kitchen facilities. The bathroom was also clean, with good water pressure. However, we did not use the in-room shower as the hotel provided a public bath, which we preferred. We were pleased with the breakfast selection. The hotel has two restaurants, one serving Japanese cuisine and the other offering Western-style breakfast. We alternated between the two during our two-night stay, giving us some variety. The only downside was that seating was limited, so we had to queue during breakfast hours. The hotel's location was another plus. It is just a short walk from a tram stop, making it convenient for us to explore the city by tram on our second day without the hassle of driving and searching for parking. For those travelling by car, the hotel also provides ample parking spaces, which we made good use of. The JR train station and bus terminal are just two tram stops away, and we found it convenient to take the bus for our visit to Mt. Hakodate to enjoy its famous night view. One aspect that made us slightly uncomfortable was the excessive number of entrances to the hotel, which raised some concerns about security. We stayed for two nights and, overall, had a wonderful and relaxing experience. The convenient location, in-room laundry facilities, breakfast choices and public bath made this a comfortable base for our stay.

Excellent breakfast buffet. Made my own seafood bowl. As good as the morning market, which is a bit of a tourist trap and expensive. Loved our hotel room. It was clean, very modern and spacious. We were in the newer East wing & stayed in the Western room - highly recommended. Most of the front desk staff were cordial and friendly. Service can be a bit improved though to be more welcoming. Excellent location. I think it’s the best hotel in Hakodate.
