A-Gate Hotel

Overall was very satisfied, and great value for money. But why is the coffee machine not available in the morning when I want to drink coffee?

We booked the wrong date & they helped us to amend it, we appreciate their help. The hotel location is about 500m away from Hakodate JR station, but there is a tram station within 2 mins walk (Matsukazecho station). There is a few convenient stores within 300m and a MaxValu supermarket (Cheap foods, snack & almost everything) in 5 mins walk. A McDonald restaurant is just across the road (the hotel provided us two JPY200 vouchers). At the lobby, the hotel provided Free Tea/ Coffee/ Sakae (Japanese beer), Snack & Instant Noodle (self service). The staff can speak English & the service is good.

Great location. Friendly, patient staff. Breakfast voucher to nearby McDonalds.

Dislike the size

Basic & simple. Spacious room has all that we need. Friendly staff.

Hotel staffs very nice. Clean and with everything you need

Cheap and cheerful hotel/hostel. One of the staff was very helpful in providing us information about a good onsen in Yunokawa. Easily accessible from the train station. Room was a good size, only problem was that it stank of cigarettes, despite being a non-smoking room.

Room is small but expected, location is very close the Jr station and near some good food options

Nice room with good location to the station. Clean and with everything you need.

Very efficient and accommodating front desk. Very helpful in giving us tips on how to get around. Fast and efficient staff when we ask questions on how to use heater.

A nice hotel to stay four nights as it was near train stations and places we wanted to visit. We thought the room was a bit too small for 3 people. Hotel staff were helpful.

Average

Pretty good as the room was spacious, near to the tram station and 10 minutes walk from Hakodate Station.

Hotel was near JR Hakodate Station and also near to Morning Market. Daily amenities if required can be bought at the 2 nearby convenience shop.

The size of the room we were given was decent but the bathroom was slightly too small with the toilet almost in front of the door. The staff was ok but we didn't enjoy breakfast. Overall it's ok for the price we paid but don't expect too much.

Small room with functioning shower bath and toilet, close to station, so quite convenient. Reception on 2nd floor, nondescript entrance first floor.

Hotel staff was very professional and super kind. The hotel is very close to Hakodate station. The hotel is very old, so it is not for everyone. The price was very reasonable for the area.

Very bad smell

The staff members we saw were all very nice, so this review is not a reflection of them or people who clean the room daily. The hotel was good enough just for staying overnight. It worked out ok for us, but there were some safety concerns. There were not enough electrical outlets; too much use of extension cords made us a little nervous. The room appeared clean on the surface but there was a little too much dust was accumulated where we can't see right away (which we had to discover when we were looking for more outlets). I suppose there are and will be many foreign guests at this hotel; I think certain safety-related information should be translated into English. (For example, that certain windows must not be opened.) I really like Hakodate and wanted to like this hotel, so I hope this is helpful.

Close distance to Hakodate ropeway & the morning market.
