Hotels in Hakodate

"The hotel looks a little far at first (about 10–15 min walk from the station), but with the cool windy weather, it felt like an easy walk. Maybe in mid-summer or snow winter it could be tougher, but during our stay it was very comfortable short walk for us. The room was spacious and spotless. The sofa was already prepared with bed sheets and pillows, making it easy for a 3rd or even 4th guest to sleep (just make sure to put the correct number of guests, including children, when booking). The onsen was excellent – clean, large, and with real spring water. There’s also a washing machine (bring your own detergent), and a kitchenette in the room, though you need to borrow cooking utensils from the front desk, guest need to clean them after use. (No condiments are provided) Breakfast was very good, but the only downside is the 40-minute time limit. Most of the staff were polite and friendly, though one female staff at reception and a male staff at the breakfast area seemed less welcoming. Overall, I’d recommend this place to families who want a spacious room with a small kitchen and a proper onsen. Definitely choose the breakfast plan if you book."

"The location is absolutely fantastic. Hakodate Station has only one exit, and the hotel is the tall building immediately to the left, with the Hakodate Morning Market right across to the right. Immediately after checking in, we took a taxi to the Kanemori Red Brick Warehouses, with Hachiman-zaka Slope just a short walk away. Only upon returning to the hotel did we realize that Hakodate Station is right by the sea, and a leisurely stroll along the waterfront also leads directly to the Red Brick Warehouses. With buses and taxis available right outside the station entrance, getting around is incredibly convenient. The hotel lobby is spacious and bright, offering plenty of comfortable sofas for guests to relax. The hotel features a public bath and sauna, and after a relaxing soak, complimentary popsicles in various flavors are a delightful treat. Breakfast offers a wide variety of dishes, including all-you-can-eat sashimi! All the food was delicious, and we were constantly delighted by the offerings. Overall, a truly wonderful experience. Highly recommended! Although we didn't go up Mount Hakodate for the famous night view, our hotel window offered a stunning vista of the sea. As night fell, the coastline and the illuminated buildings sparkled, creating an equally breathtaking nocturnal panorama. Absolutely magnificent!"

"The room was very clean and cozy. The staff were friendly and helpful. The location is perfect. There is nothing to complain about! I had a really good time during my stay. I would love to try their breakfast buffet next time."

"Although the room was a bit small, it was spotlessly clean, well-equipped, and efficiently designed. Everything was thoughtfully laid out and easy to use, and it even came with a washing machine and a microwave. After admiring the night view from Mount Hakodate in the evening, by 9 PM the streets were deserted and all the shops were closed for the night. So, we simply bought some delicious food from a convenience store, warmed it up back at the hotel, and enjoyed a truly comfortable and satisfying meal. The hotel is conveniently located just a few minutes' walk from the JR station. Popular attractions like Hachiman-zaka Slope, the Red Brick Warehouses, and the Mount Hakodate Ropeway are all within easy walking distance, which was incredibly convenient."

"Hands down the best hotel I've stayed in Hakodate! The location is unbeatable, right outside JR Hakodate Station. Plus, the Mashumaru ferry museum is just around the corner and definitely worth a visit. The hotel was spotlessly clean, and the breakfast was absolutely superb."

"La Vista Hakodate Bay exceeded my expectations. The location is perfect — within walking distance to major spots like the red brick warehouse and Mt. Hakodate ropeway. The room was clean, spacious, and had a lovely nostalgic Japanese feel. The rooftop onsen was absolutely amazing, especially with the open-air bath overlooking the night view of Hakodate. The free late-night ramen was a nice surprise! Most of all, I want to thank a female staff member who gave us the best service I’ve experienced in Japan. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and thoughtful. I didn’t catch her name, but she truly made my stay unforgettable. Highly recommended!"

"The hotel is conveniently located within a 10-minute walk from Hakodate JR Station. The absolute highlight was the incredibly extensive breakfast, offering a wide variety of dishes including ramen and sashimi. Another major plus was the rooftop hot spring (onsen), which boasted fantastic views and was perfect for unwinding. On the same floor as the onsen, there's a snack bar open until 11 PM, where you can conveniently charge items like ramen, takoyaki, and ice cream directly to your room card. Overall, it was a very comfortable and pleasant stay."

"I've stayed in many hotels, and this one definitely ranks among the best in terms of service. I arrived quite late, but the front desk staff still greeted me warmly and helped with my luggage. The room was cozy, and they even provided welcome fruit and snacks—a truly thoughtful touch. The next day, I was in a rush and didn't have time for breakfast, but the hotel unexpectedly prepared a packed breakfast for me to enjoy on the road. This level of thoughtful service truly touched me and I absolutely must give it a thumbs-up!"

"I had a pleasant short stay at HOTEL MYSTAYS Hakodate Ekimae. The location was excellent right next to Hakodate Station, making it very convenient for public transport and exploring the city. There were plenty of food options nearby, and it was easy to walk to popular attractions. The hotel was comfortable and well-kept, perfect for a short stay."

"All in all, the authentic Japanese hot spring facilities and atmosphere were great !! BUT BUT BUT —Who would guess that we bumped into a tsunami warning !! During 15 minutes, I was on the third floor, not knowing what to do or where to go!! The front desk didn’t answer my calls and the broadcast was only in Japanese!!! God punished me for not studying Japanese hard !! It was lucky that nothing happened! Otherwise, I think other foreign guests would have been so lost and anxious !!!! The hotel should really put foreign guests into consideration too!! The staff at front desk didn’t really speak English, so it was hard to communicate…."
