This was the perfect location to stay overnight on our trip between Asahikawa and Tokyo. We had travelled by train from Sapporo and were switching to the Shinkansen at Shin Hakodate Hokuto. We had booked a room with two beds which turned out to be either double or queen. We also hadn't realised that the hotel has an onsen, so this was a particularly nice surprise. The beds were good, and the Japanese style pillows were okay, too - sometimes they can be a bit hard, or too fat. The hotel is clean and modern with nice toiletries and yukata supplied. The only slight disappointment was that the restaurant was closed on the night we stayed (a Friday), but there is a Ramen restaurant downstairs in an adjacent shopping area, and this was fine.

This hotel is located pretty deep in the woods, it's a bit scary to drive there after dark, but once you reach the main building, there's a large parking lot close by. (There are a few buses go to the hotel as well, but beware nothing is within the walking distance) The hotel is quite big but somehow has a cozy feeling I can't really tell why, probably due to a combination of lighting, texture and smells. This is most obvious in the guest rooms. My room wasn't very big. It didn't look fancy, it didn't even have a view (just trees outside). But I still felt comfortable just to be there and I enjoyed my stay. The hotel was also a lot quieter than I expected, with fewer tourist groups than other major hotels I stayed in Hokkaido recently. They do have a laundry room for guests, which is very rare for a hotel at this level. The one thing that disappointed me was the dinner. Yes the restaurant had a good view to the lighted swamp outside, but the portion was ridiculously small and the taste wasn't good enough for the price tag. Because there's nothing within walking distance, I had to drive out to the nearest convenience store to get more food. The breakfast buffet was great though, with a huge selection of items and good taste. The hot spring bath was pretty small, but had a unique setting that feels like it's connected to the lighted swamp outside. When someone enters the pool, water will spill out into the swamp below (I believe). The bathing experience was natural and tranquil. You can also walk into the woods around the hotel to experience more of the local nature (though there are a lots of bugs). Overall I think this hotel feels pleasant and is surprisingly cost effective if you skip the dinner.

Hotel was in good location next to morning seafood market and short walk to red warehouse. Bath house was clean with panaromic view of the city and coastline. Room was clean and new. Comes with free washing machine. Hotel carpark was convenient although we need to pay for it (1000 yen per day) Highly recommend.

The hotel is located within 10 minutes of JR Hakodate Station, between the Hakodate morning market and the warehouse. It is very convenient. The room is clean and spacious. After soaking in the hot springs in the evening, there are free ramen and ice cream.

I used it for the first time. A luxury hotel, breakfast is a special mention! We chose Japanese food in Azeria for the first night １ and Matsumae for the second night. At the buffet, there was a heap of salmon roe that I had never seen before, and I was able to make a super gorgeous seafood bowl, which was really amazing. ２ Matsumae on the night was also a very nice set, and I chose the salmon roe set, but this is also super satisfying. My friend was Hitsumabushi set, which looked very delicious! The room was large and well maintained, and it was good because it had a long-established style plus modern functionality.

We stayed at Century Marina for our first night in Hokkaido and originally chose it for its proximity to most of the sites we wanted to see in Hakodate. It's just a few minute walk from the train station with plenty of sidewalks so pulling our suitcases was no issue. The hotel also has a large parking lot if you choose to drive. It's also just a few minute walk from the warehouse district and the older area up the hill where a lot of historical embassies and churches are. The hotel's breakfast buffet is an experience itself with an extensive spread of both Japanese and Western food options. You will reserve a time slot when checking in, but even then you should expect a 10-20 minute wait in the morning to get your table, so its best to go up before your reserved time. This hotel also has one of the best rooftop onsen I've seen, with wonderful views of the whole marina and hill. When booking I didn't realize there was a hot springs so this was a nice surprise. Our room was right next to the elevator but very quiet and clean. This is a newer hotel too so everything felt very fresh and well-maintained. We checked in using Japanese, but the hotel has check-in info packets and signs in English so this is a good option for non-Japanese speaking guests as well.

This hotel is a relatively newer hotel . There is a huge free open carpark behind the hotel. Check in was fast . Welcome drinks were served. The twin rooms are very comfortable with good temperature control and firm beds. Wifi was fast. There was a bathtub and a area to sit down and shower just like in the onsen area. Two bottles of water were provided. Dinner was good with snow crabs , sashimi like tuna , octopus , ikura etc . There was also a ramen section where you cook your own ramen . For desert , there was an assortment of cakes and ice cream . Onsens were new and relatively empty. The bathing area was adequately lit . The only drawback was that only one type of shampoo and conditioner was available . There was a long indoor onsen . Outdoor onsens had a long sort of infinity pool , another pool and two barrel tubs . The onsens were clean and new and quiet. There was also a resting area that looked out over the city at night . What would make the experience better would be perhaps popsicles could be offered for all to enjoy after the onsen. Breakfast was good . Overall a very comfortable and reasonably priced stay near an Aeon mall and fantastic soba restaurant

It has been almost 3 years that we have not visited Japan. Once Japan opened tourism, we packed our bags. We decided this trip will be a trip to enjoy some onsen (hot springs bath) and to see some fall foliage in colors. We picked Hakodate for onsen. This hotel offers in room open air bath tub on the balcony with a 180 degree ocean view!! Our activities were focused on taking onsen and having great food at the hotel buffet restaurant. After a great onsen bath, we wore the clothing they provided to us to the restaurant, very layback and relaxing!! There were many families, old and very young at the hotel over the weekend. So we think families take short vacations here. Strongly recommend to add Hakodate and this hotel to be part of your tour in Japan !

This hotel feels more like an upscale condo than a hotel, not sure if it was converted to a hotel at some point, or was built this way. But it certainly feels different from other hotels I have stayed in Japan. First of all, the rooms are very big, with a full living room, a dining table, a kitchen, a semi private bedroom, and a home-quality bathroom. I felt like I was living in my own condo instead of staying a hotel. It was a unique experience. I know Japanese people care a lot about their bathing experience and it was nicely reflected in this hotel. The bathroom was equipped with a digital panel used to control water temperature and level in the bathtub. I only saw this in a Japanese home before but never in a hotel. They also had a water-proof tablet that allow you to watch TV while in bath. Again, something you can only see in Japanese homes but not in their hotels. If you read the booklet in the room, you would be see how the staff came up with this and other ideas to enrich the guest experience. No wonder this hotel is so highly rated. Then there's the view. I think every room in this hotel faces Mt Hakodate and on higher floors, you can get an unobstructed view to the whole south side of the city. The room came with a balcony, so you can enjoy the city view leisurely at your doorstep. The only downside of this hotel is that it doesn't offer a luxurious breakfast buffet like some other hotels nearby do. But located just next to Hakodate Morning Market, you can easily get your breakfast there. It's also just a few minutes to Hakodate train station, so the location is really good. Overall I think this is a great hotel that made me enjoy my stay.
