Hakodate Danshaku Club Hotel & Resorts Reviews

This hotel feels more like an upscale condo than a hotel, not sure if it was converted to a hotel at some point, or was built this way. But it certainly feels different from other hotels I have stayed in Japan. First of all, the rooms are very big, with a full living room, a dining table, a kitchen, a semi private bedroom, and a home-quality bathroom. I felt like I was living in my own condo instead of staying a hotel. It was a unique experience. I know Japanese people care a lot about their bathing experience and it was nicely reflected in this hotel. The bathroom was equipped with a digital panel used to control water temperature and level in the bathtub. I only saw this in a Japanese home before but never in a hotel. They also had a water-proof tablet that allow you to watch TV while in bath. Again, something you can only see in Japanese homes but not in their hotels. If you read the booklet in the room, you would be see how the staff came up with this and other ideas to enrich the guest experience. No wonder this hotel is so highly rated. Then there's the view. I think every room in this hotel faces Mt Hakodate and on higher floors, you can get an unobstructed view to the whole south side of the city. The room came with a balcony, so you can enjoy the city view leisurely at your doorstep. The only downside of this hotel is that it doesn't offer a luxurious breakfast buffet like some other hotels nearby do. But located just next to Hakodate Morning Market, you can easily get your breakfast there. It's also just a few minutes to Hakodate train station, so the location is really good. Overall I think this is a great hotel that made me enjoy my stay.
