Hakodate Kokusai Hotel

The entire property was spotless and featured a calm, modern design. It felt comfortable wherever we were. The triple room had three single-size Simmons beds, and we were able to rest well. What left the biggest impression was the experienced staff member at the 1st-floor cafe lounge—their elegant service with a warm smile was wonderful. The cake was also delicious, and thanks to that, we were able to truly relax for a while after returning from sightseeing. We stayed multiple nights and were very satisfied to have both buffet breakfast and eel as breakfast options. The location is great as well, and it’s a place I’d like to stay again.

I came looking forward to breakfast. Since it was a three-day holiday weekend, I expected the breakfast venue to be hectic like other nearby hotels with similar buffets, but thanks to the staff’s attentiveness—refilling dishes and guiding guests—it ran very smoothly. It was also great that we could check how crowded it was via a QR code, and if you register, they notify you by email, so we could wait in our room. The seafood and grilled shabu-shabu were delicious. The room isn’t particularly new, but it’s spacious, and I appreciated that the toilet is located away from the living area and that there are double doors—both made it quiet and comfortable. Since I also take towels to the hot springs, I would have been happy if there were a few more towels provided. We had a wonderful time, so I’m planning to visit again in January. Thank you very much.
