Hotel Global View Hakodate

The hotel is a bit worn out and there weren’t much dinner options nearby. But the onsen and the breakfast was amazing!! If you are driving or traveling light I would highly recommend global view hotel :)

It looks like an Airbnb

Loved the shower, definitely my ideal showerhead, would buy and install in my own house if I had one Western breakfast was good, large assortment and lots of good stuff

Spa was GREAT! Very convenient location. Place was quite clean. Room was fairly quiet. Lousy view from our room BUT the other side view is fantastic. Better than average hotel with one of the best spa experiences.

It’s a value for money stay. The room was spacious and clean. Hotel offers eco cleaning, with full cleaning every alternate day, so if you stay for 2 nights, there will only be eco cleaning where a clean bag of towels and amenities including water is provided. There are two restaurants offering Japanese and western breakfast which you will need to decide which one, and time you will go for breakfast at check in. The restaurants can be crowded and be prepared to wait in line even with you appointed time. The food is worth the wait, especially at the Japanese restaurant where the amount of fresh seafood and tempura awaits the diner. The only think I needs a lot of improvement is the wifi, it is not stable and sometimes not there. There is a good number of parking spaces for the guests, so even when you don’t get to park directly in the hotel, it is a few mins walk back to hotel which is fine.

For the price I paid is a steal with Onsen. Breakfast was fabulous with lot of variety.

Room was nice and spacious, the balcony was a nice touch. It wrapped around and had a ok view

The hotel's check-in system needed an upgrade, and the afternoon check-in wait was excessively long. We booked a room for four people and were told that we needed to lay out the tatami mats ourselves, which was a bit inconvenient for foreigners, as all the other hotels on this trip had laid out extra tatami mats for us before check-in. Another major problem was the strong odor in the toilet; I had to borrow air freshener from the front desk. However, the hotel breakfast deserves praise; it had a wide variety of choices and tasted delicious.

The staff was great and initially the room felt great but as I stayed I saw the cracks. The WiFi is atrocious, the sink out side the bathroom is very close to the door and feels very tight. There’s barely any room to place your luggage in the room. If you need to do laundry, go somewhere else to do it as the dryers will need about two hours to dry your clothes. There’s only 3 washers and dryers so it was struggle to share with other guests. The breakfast buffet was just ok. Also the hotel does not offer luggage shipping. This ended up being my least favorite hotel so far.

Good staff and convenient location next to bus stop.

A large and well designed onsen setup on ground floor attached to the natural source. Great for those who would enjoy such setup. Maintenance is very good for the age of this property. Rio resorts is really doing this region a great service by reviving this formerly decaying hotel in a depressed area. It is a good 20 minute walk from the main drag where everyone wants to be at. The "premium tower" houses the very large rooms with balconies featuring extremely traditional layout. Where the toilet is in a separate room far away from the bathroom. Now also has a coin laundry and game center, both can come in handy for traveling families. There is a great "cash only" genuine ramen stand just across the street. McDonalds is 3 blocks away together with a healthy ecosystem of very local restaurants of various type. The beach, which Hakodate is not particularly known for, is only one block away. The city has at least one project going on to improve the beach front area at the moment. Staff are super friendly and superbly helpful, giving me a very good first impression of rio resorts management.

Very nice sized toom, great view, they let us get in our room about 30 minutes early which was a huge blessing

Only issue is the walking distance from the station. If you are ok with that it’s very good.

Big room (Deluxe Twin A). Kitchen,2 sided balcony, quiet, clean everything i needed. Big onsen downstairs, great restaurants. not close to the station but walkable.

Room was really small but functional. It was clean and relatively new. I enjoyed the stay there for 2 nights.

Rooms are small but far from the smallest I've stayed in in Japan. Staff are efficient and the breakfast buffet is very good.

Ok hotel with dated facilities.

We had a large room for 3 pax. There were 2 twin beds and a futon for our party. The room is large with a living room, balcony, kitchenette and a washing machine only. A drying rack is provided if you do laundry. The room feels a little dated but is comfortable. We liked that this hotel is jsut a few minutes walk from Omori beach. Calling for a taxi to get to places eg Mt Hakodate Ropeway and the morning market is very easy.

Room for improvements for cleanliness

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