Hakodate Spa Hotels

The hotel is a bit far from the city center; the closest bus stop is the botanical garden, and it's about a 15-minute walk from the tram. The public baths are located on the first and eighth floors. On the first floor, there's a sauna, a jacuzzi, a large indoor pool, a small outdoor one, and a cold plunge pool. In the evening, after your bath, you can grab some ice cream from the freezer next to the women's bath. On the eighth floor, there are two smaller pools, one indoor and one outdoor. From the outdoor pools, you can hear the ocean and smell the sea air. You need to bring towels from your room, but yukata are provided. In the room, there's tea, coffee, and cold water available.

The lovely old gentleman serving as at night was one of the best front desk staff I’ve ever met. We originally planned to arrive at the property in the afternoon. However, our flight was cancelled and we had to seek alternative, delaying our arrival time until 23:00. When we arrive, we thought we will be self-checking in. But as we step inside the property from a heavy snow, we saw this kind gentleman waiting for us right at the door. He greeted us, helped us check in, and explained everything clearly. He offered us free flow free drinks and free ice cream (which was also very tasty) When we wanted to have some late night snacks bought from a convenient store, he also helped us reheat the food. 誠にありがとうございます！ Everything else was great as well! The room was comfortable, the breakfast was yummy, and it’s so nice to have a hot spring after out in the cold for the entire day.

I stayed for the first time. Check-in was late around 21:00, but I was able to respond with a smile. However, it was a pity that I missed the alcoholic drink service in the lobby. The room was still large and easy to use. The bed width is 156 cm, so it's big enough for me to sleep next to it. As for breakfast, the main menu was colorful salad. The corn soup was very tasty and delicious at first sip, but the amount was large and the latter half felt a little heavy. The bread was very delicious. It is a recommended hotel for sightseeing, of course, but also for relaxing alone.

In addition to the troublesome parking location, others are very satisfied. There is a supermarket opposite the hotel. There are also many choices for dinner at night. It is very good to soak in the hot springs.
