Book Kikonai hotels

Big rooms, amenities bar, free luggage storage, great onsen with free popsicle after, breakfast buffet was amazing with lots of Japanese options. Great location and walkable to a lot of sightseeing areas very convenient by the bus and JR line. Would stay at this hotel again

Very modern decor. About 7 minute drive to historic district and ropeway. No restaurants in hotel but lots of eating choices within walking distance. Near train station. Our room had a free washer/dryer combination unit with detergent which we really appreciate as we were in the middle of a two week road-trip.

Close to the beach and a 10 min walk to the main station

Great location 5 minutes or less door to door from Hakodate station. The breakfast was excellent and rivals 4 star Tokyo hotels.

I loved this hotel! It was located right in the JR station which was so very helpful when it took me a very long time to travel from Haneda airport in Tokyo to Hakodate via shinkansen. I was soooo relieved when I realized I didn't have to figure out where the hotel was, it was literally just right there! I lost my phone charger and cord in transit and they were kind enough to lend me one and give me directions to the nearest electronics store. I know a little bit of Japanese so that helped with the communication as they didn't know too much English. One super cool perk of this hotel is that they had what was called the pillow corner. In a part of the lobby there was an area where if you wanted a different pillow from the standard issue you could "shop" around in this super cool little pillow library. There were signs and labels indicating the softness and hardness level and displays showing what material was inside the pillow. It was soooo amazing! I like a harder pillow so I was happy to find one that fit my preferences. The hotel is so perfectly located right across the way from the morning market. Very convenient! And I could see Mount Hakodate from my window. I only stayed two days in Hakodate, it was my first time in Hokkaido and I split my trip between here and Sapporo. I really super enjoyed it and wish I had scheduled more time on my trip from this area. If I ever return I will definitely stay again at this hotel. Highly recommend!

Lovely hotel. Absolutely amazing breakfast (but very popular…. First hotel where there is a queue to get in at 6 am). A heads up would have been nice if we were told to bring our towels from our room to the onsen. Probably got lost in translation. But excellent hotel.
