Hakodate Kokusai Hotel

The breakfast buffet was great with lots of food choices. Room was spacious.

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.

Very nice and big hotel with ample parking space location is near scenic area and morning market where you can have live crab eat in spot

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.

I went to breakfast at 7:00 and many people in the queue. I gave up to have breakfast at your hotel nevertheless I was recommended by colleagues in Hakodate region that the breakfast is good in Kokusai Hotel. In the end, I went out to Asa-Ichi market and had excellent & fresh rice bawl (巴丼).

The Hakodate Kokusai Hotel is conveniently located just south of the Morning Market, and the JR Hakodate Station. Facilities are nice, and the staff is friendly, and the breakfast buffet is quite good. Views from the top floor are very good, and the rooftop spa is nice for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. Although not the newest hotel, the accommodations are still nice.
