Hakodate Kokusai Hotel

I like the tatami room and the sea view. The hot spring is very enjoyable and relaxing and the night view is very beautiful. The buffet breakfast is super nice.😋🥰

Welcoming receptionist and fast checking and out. Luggage service available. Great breakfast and not crowded. Large onsen with clean facilities.

Not sure whether it’s during long holidays, or it’s normal. But I expected much better service for this type of hotel. So I was so disappointed when I didn’t feel like it. First, I carried a lot of stuffs. I asked for concierge, yes there was a luggage cart, but I need to carry all by myself up to my room, using a small and old with impaired wheels cart. Second, full of tourists. Onsen was so full too. So I need to hurry took a bath, a few minute in the onsen, then go back to my room. Not relax at all. Third, such a long queue breakfast. There were 2 types of breakfast for us to choose. Never seen like this before, but we need to get a queue, for 30-60 minutes waiting. If I knew that there was a queue for hotel breakfast, I would definitely went down to get the queue before packing my luggage. Who will know that it would be like this. It’s my really first time to wait for 1 hour to have breakfast. Lastly, I was so tired and want the massage, so I booked one. Not sure whether it’s normal for Japanese style or not, but compared to Thai massage and Korean massage, I shouldn’t have paid for it . Too expensive but not help at all. I came back to my room to acupuncture myself instead. Luckily that I stayed 2 hotels in Hakodate, so I moved to another hotel on the next day and feel much better. Oh, a few things I like about this hotel. 1. The pictures along the way to another wing (during my walk to onsen). There were beautiful 2. A rental car place in front of hotel, during my waiting for breakfast queue, I walked there and found a good price car rental.

There are 2 wings of the hotel. A new and old wing. We were in the old wing however parts of the old wing was upgraded. Location is 6 minutes walk to the seafood market and red bricks warehouse. Service is great and comes with onsen

Good location near the train station and the morning market. Room was reasonably comfortable but a little dated. Our room was non-smoking but the room (and the hallway) smelled of smoke.

A perfect hotel for travel solo or in family, near to seaside, easy to locate it. The spacious room and very good service, if come again at Hakodate and we will choose it again.
