Tokyu Stay Hakodate Asaichi Akarinoyu

Good location with a nice rooftop outdoor and indoor public bath. Also a nice lounge area can enjoy the harbour view and Mount Hakodate in the background. Free coffee and tea plus outdoor (pay) parking available. Short walk to most places and great staff services. Plus in room washing machine with built in dryer is perfect for us so that we can do some laundry (detergent provided) after over a week of traveling!

We had a corner room (33m sq!) on the 10th floor for 5 nights. Lots of space, a good little kitchenette, small table and excellent washing machine and drier unit, plus great beds and pillows. We enjoyed the views over the Seikan Train Ferry museum and the harbour, watching all the cruise ships coming and going. We used the roof top hot pools each day. We did our own breakfasts and a few other meals from the close by convenience store. The hotel is great spot for the fascinating fish markets and their many food outlets. It's a short walk to Motomachi area (do visit the old Souma house) and close to the Red brick warehouses. Trains, trams and buses at the JR station near by for visiting Goryokaku Fort and the Tower, Onuma quasi- National Park and other interesting destinations.

Hotel is conveniently located near train station, morning market and harbour front tourist areas within short walking distance. Room we had was quite spacious, with harbour view, and common bath has one open and one indoor areas with views. Staff we encountered were courteous and helpful and rooms are well maintained, and free tea and coffee are available near reception for guests. Value was quite good for our stay. The hotel is quite well maintained and clean, breakfast was fine. The value comparing with other nearby hotels is pretty good.

The location was incredible and the onsen was wonderful! The views from the top-floor onsens were worth the cost of the stay alone. I recommend others stay for at least two nights so they get to experience the city and harbour views! (The onsens are split by gender and rotate each day) Especially in light snow - there was something magic about being in the hot outdoor baths while snowflakes fell around me. The room was also very comfortable and the in room washer/dryer was incredibly convenient, and even supplied washing liquid. If I visit Hakodate again, I will look to come back to this excellent hotel.

It is close to Hakodate station and situated just next to the seafood market. The room that I had was really small and it makes opening up our luggage a challenge with not much space to share. However, the rooms which my kids (3) shared, was really spacious and both rooms offers a wonderful view of the harbour. The Kanemori red brick warehouse is a short 10min walk away. The hotel also partnered with the various seafood stalls at the market and provided a slight discount for your kaisendon. You just need to purchase the voucher from the hotel receptionist. Another huge perk is there is a in-room washer/dryer provided.
