Family-friendly Hotels in Toyako

THE BEST AND MEMORABLE STAY IN HOKKAIDO. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL. one night may not be sufficient if you want to get away from the crowd and rejuvenate. Be early for all meal time as you will miss the BEST SEATS which come with the BEST VIEW. Dinner and breakfast spread was superb. The 4th image was taken from our room.

The experience was somewhat satisfactory however the property is a bit old and not so well maintained , furniture is old & dirty and the room is stinks with cigarette smell. The design of the room is bad the location of the toilet right at the entrance door. The beds arrangement was not practical and user friendly to any occupants. Wey inconvenience to access and is small. The beds are too low and pillows are small. Generally staff service is satisfactory and acceptable. The great point of this property is that it has an awesome location and beautiful landscape outside and Great Lake views. Food is normal but the queue line is a bit unorganised and have to look into it though the outlet ambience is good.

From Toya Train Station Bus Stop (immediately visible when you exit the Train Station), you can take a bus/taxi. I chose the cheaper option which costs about Y340. It's about 7 stops to Toyako Onsen Bus Terminal (serving as a transport node at Toyako Onsen) and another 3 stops to Motomachi Bus Stop (2 minutes walk to Hotel Hanabi). Travelling time by bus is about 20-25 min, but subject to waiting time (take note of the bus service timings). Google Maps works well to provide suggested travelling route and timings. I booked a single room for one night that was clean and served it's purpose. It felt a lot like a hostel than a hotel but has an onsen. My booking included a buffet dinner and breakfast which was critical as there weren't many food options around the area. Both buffet had a wide selection to cater to Asian/Western food preferences. There's a 7-Eleven that is about 5-10 min walk away. There's a Tourist Information Centre at the Bus Terminal. The Bus Terminal is also reachable by walking which will take about 15-20 min. Hotel Hanabi is one of many lodging options along Lake Toya, and just walking outside the hotel, I was already able to capture the nice photo of Mount Yotei. During the time I was there (mid-end Apr), there were no bus options so the only way to travel to Usuzan Ropeway was by taxi booking done at the hotel reception. It costed about Y1900 one-way and took about 15-20 min. Once I was done visiting, another taxi booking is done at the Usuzan Ropeway counter to the next destination.

I have to say that this is really a great memory. I went there at the end of 2019. The room I lived in was facing the lake. I got up in the morning and looked out the window and I could enjoy the lake view directly. There were buses outside to reach various attractions. The hot spring environment of the hotel is very good, soaking in the outdoor soup can also enjoy the snow while soaking, this is really a rare experience. It is highly recommended to go to the leisurely accommodation of Lake Toya and the people who soak in the soup.

The room was large and quiet so I was able to spend a comfortable time! The staff were very friendly and I was able to enjoy my trip to Hokkaido without any inconvenience. Is the fireworks display lifted in various places this year? However, the fireworks in Toya here are the best! You can see it from your room, and if you want to experience more powerful fireworks, you can move to the lakeside to see it! (I was satisfied with the fireworks from the room ..) There is a little distance to the city, but I personally didn't particularly care. I definitely want to come next year!

　Go Toキャンペーンが延期となり、札幌近くで静かに年末年始を過ごせるホテルとしてこちらにしました。 　洞爺湖温泉の湖を挟んでほぼ反対側にありますから、本当に静かに寛げました。周辺にはコンビニも一軒だけしかなく、観光客もほとんどいません。 　だからこそ新年の初日の出を部屋風呂から見たいと考えたのも理由の一つでした。 　今年は数十年ぶりの寒波が来ており、札幌も吹雪のようでした。太平洋側に近い洞爺湖で、雲が流れましたが、私は大浴場の露天風呂から初日の出を見ることができました。 　TripAdvisorでのホテルの口コミによると部屋付き露天風呂で、評価が分かれていました。確かに外から見えますが、まず人のいない寒村ということ、湯着が用意してあることで大丈夫かと思います。それよりも寒気の夜に冷たい月を眺めながらの入浴は別格の気分を味わえました。 　海外資本のホテルなので、日本の温泉ホテルとは違うことを予め理解しておくと、リラックスできて素晴らしいです。来年の年越しもここで過ごしたいと考えています。 良い点：①スタッフのホスピタリティー、日本人スタッフが増え、適度な距離感が素晴らしく感じました。私たちは2泊しましたが、スタッフの気持ちの伝わる言葉かけに気持ちが和らぎました。 ②食事はディナー2泊とも和食でした。出汁のきいた味がとても美味しかったです。メインの道産牛は昨年秋にニセコヒルトンでいただいたものと同レベルの美味しさでした。札幌の円山近辺だと10,000円前後のコースに値します。 　朝食バイキングはるほどです。 ③大浴場の大きな窓と湯温のぬるさが、のんびりと洞爺湖の風景を楽しめました。 ④冬だとニセコにもルスツにも近い(冬の中山峠はスリップ事故が恐いので)です。どちらもスキーシーズンに2食付きでこの値段では、泊まれないです。 改善点：①大浴場へ行くには、一度、屋外に出るのと脱衣場が寒かったです。寒波のせいもあるでしょうが、吹雪いた夜に浴衣は厳しいです。 ②北海道の温泉ホテルに多いのが、レストランもスリッパ可という点はいかがでしょうか？浴衣で行きたいという方もいらっしゃるでしょうが、ディナーはせっかくの雰囲気が残念です。 このクラスのシティホテルでは、あり得ないのでしょうから。 ③部屋のレイアウトとして、ベッドの前に洗面台があるのは、日本人は慣れないかもしれません。特に私たちはトリプルベッドでしたので、冬の連泊だとスキーウェアでクローゼットも小さいことから手狭でした。 　それでも総じて、食事、温泉、レストランやバー、スタッフのホスピタリティーと再訪したいリーズナブルなディナーズ・ホテルです。

I made a reservation in a hurry the day before, but it was close to the rental in the corona pass, and it was very cheap and I was able to stay overnight in a good location on the edge of Lake Toya. So there is no problem in the shared toilet. There was also a washlet in a western toilet. There was a washbasin in the room. The window was also open and the room was smoking. The view of Lake Toya was good from the window, and the fireworks that rose every night from May to the end of October looked beautiful. The hot spring is quite hot, but it was comfortable to get used to it. The parking lot was a lot of signboards for different shops, so it was a lot of fun. There are convenience stores and delicious taverns nearby, and there is no inconvenience with breakfast and dinner and no problem.
