Hotels in Hakodate

"Excellent hotel. The rooftop infinity pool, hot spring, terrace bath, sea breeze, and Hakodate night view were incredibly relaxing. I used the baths both in the evening and in the morning. There's a scenic bar lounge that offers coffee. The room had a private washer/dryer and a microwave. The breakfast offered was great value, allowing you to choose a restaurant at the adjacent seafood market. However, I didn't opt for it because I wanted to try catching squid and grilling it, and also having crab shabu-shabu – this morning market is truly the best for seafood. Disposable slippers were provided, which many Japanese hotels don't offer."

"JR Inn Hakodate is conveniently located right behind Hakodate Station. From the JR Hakodate exit, turn right and walk straight, you'll see the JR Inn sign, and the hotel is just 20 meters away. The rooms are a bit small; the 1.4-meter double room felt a little cramped for two people, and we had to open our luggage on the bed. It has a private bathroom and shower. There's a large public bath on the 12th floor, which is better than nothing. After a bath, free coffee and tea are available, and there's also a lounge area where you can enjoy views of Mount Hakodate and the Hakodate Morning Market below. You can catch a bus to the Mount Hakodate observation deck directly in front of JR Hakodate Station. It can get crowded, so expect to queue. A one-way ticket costs 700 JPY. The Red Brick Warehouses and Hachiman-zaka Slope are within walking distance."

"The location is excellent. From Hakodate Airport, it's only four bus stops to the JR station, and the hotel is right across the street. It's super convenient to take the JR from here to all the attractions. I booked two nights and the high-floor room offered fantastic views, allowing us to watch the fireworks every night at 6 PM during Christmas. Downstairs, there's a Daikoku drug store where you get 20% off if you spend over 10,000 yen, which felt like a good deal. For breakfast, you can head to the morning market across the street; the seafood is incredibly fresh, and the cantaloupe is absolutely delicious! If I ever come back to Hakodate, this would still be my top choice for accommodation."

"My mom and I recently stayed at La Vista Hakodate Bay and were absolutely delighted! The hotel's location is fantastic, very close to the Red Brick Warehouses and the waterfront, offering beautiful night views. Our room was clean and comfortable, and the bed was so soft we slept wonderfully. The breakfast was the biggest surprise – a wide variety of options, and the seafood rice bowl was incredibly delicious! The staff were all very friendly and made sure we had a very pleasant stay. The rooftop onsen was also amazing; we could enjoy the night scenery while soaking in the hot spring. My mom loved it, and we'll definitely stay here again next time we visit Hakodate!"

"The hotel is conveniently located just a few minutes' walk from the JR station, making it incredibly easy to get around. It's also very close to the morning market, and attractions like Mount Hakodate are easily reachable on foot. Being a newly opened hotel, the facilities are modern and the hygiene is excellent. As a Sheraton property, the quality is guaranteed. While the room isn't very spacious and the bed is a bit on the smaller side, it was perfectly fine for a solo traveler. The front desk staff were professional, efficient, and very welcoming."

"Room is a bit small. Location is closed to the airport but far from the city. The best of this hotel is food. If you stay here please don’t forget to book your dinner."

"Super stay at this traditional onsen inn! It’s an easy 5 minutes walk from the tram stop and it is a peaceful and hospitable place to stay. We stayed for 2 nights with breakfast included (you have it in your room, the staff come to roll up your tatami 30 mins before - we just went to the onsen during this time) which was traditional Japanese style and delicious. The onsens are not too big but there are outdoor and indoor sections and perfectly adequate. The staff look after you warmly and we loved our experience of traditional Japanese culture here. Oh, and it’s near the Botanical Gardens where we saw monkeys bathing in the onsen."

"The location is fantastic, just a 5-minute walk from the JR station. The lobby has a grand atmosphere, and the room was very clean. Unlike some other reviews, we didn't experience any extra charges for daily cleaning. The only downside is that the room isn't very spacious; with two suitcases open, there's barely any room to walk around."

"The hotel's location is good, about an 8-minute walk from Hakodate Station. The lobby and public areas are impressively decorated, but the room decor, however, was a bit plain, and the space wasn't utilized very well. The bathroom also lacked a proper wet/dry separation. There are two restaurants for breakfast: a buffet on the 1st floor and set menus on the 2nd floor. I had originally planned to try both options since I was staying for two nights. However, to my surprise, the buffet on the 1st floor required waiting for a table for over 40 minutes on both mornings, so I gave up. I ended up having the set menu on the 2nd floor for both days, which was decent. It was less crowded, and a set meal was quite filling for the morning. Overall, I'd rate it 3.5 stars."

"The location is fantastic! It's right by the JR station and the bus stop is just outside, making it super convenient to get to Goryokaku and Mount Hakodate. The morning market is also right next door. The room was spacious and well-designed. The only minor issue was that there wasn't even a bottle of water in the room, and I didn't see a water dispenser in the public areas. However, overall, it's still pretty good value for money."
