La'gent Stay Hakodate Ekimae

The location of the hotel is just next to the train station. Very convenient with a Family Mart connected to the hotel. We got the big 50m2 room with the washing machine and a kitchen and it was very spacious and nice. The hot onsen was nice too!

I would wholeheartedly recommend this hotel in Hakodate. A stone's throw from the main railway station (which is not the same as the Hakodate Shinkansen station). The entrance is a bit tricky to find since it's tucked into a shopping arcade and there was the tents of an outdoor restaurant in the way. The hotel seems brand new and we decided to go above the standard room and the choice was well worth it. The room was on the top floor with a great view of the harbor. The decor is what I would call modern traditional with a raised platform, but with mattresses instead of futons with plenty of room to move around. The hotel has a nice breakfast buffet for a reasonable price and the local fish market with more restaurants and food stands is a five minute walk away. Hakodate is a very walkable small city and this hotel is in a great location. Of the six hotels we stayed at on this trip, I would rate this as my number one.

Unbelievable breakfast with an enormous variety of dishes, all excellent quality.

Wonderful stay. Very comfortable. Onsen was exceptional. Close to train station and downtown. Staff very friendly. Room was large and the beds were super comfy. The breakfast was extra extra exceptional, varied and abundant.
