La Vista Hakodate Bay Annex

Amazing hotel. Spacious room. Great and prompt service. Very good location. Great amenities and amazing breakfast, one of the best i have had in Japan. The spread was so diverse and large! And everything was top notch. Especially the sashimi and freshly grilled scallops. I mean, we weren’t able to try everything even though we wanted to!! I highly recommend staying at this hotel if you plan to visit Hakodate. Mentioning other highlights below: 1. They have public (open to guests only) and 3 private onsen that guests can use. These are amazing and very relaxing after a really cold and long day. You can track if the private onsen is available through a link. It’s very convenient and accurate and we were able to use the private onsen twice in our two night stay 2. The rooms are spacious and well equipped. They also provide clothes and a winter jacket along with slippers that you can wear in the hotel. There are two views that you get from the hotel, view of the mountain range and view of the city. Our room had the city view and you could set the ocean on a day with clear skies. 3. Complimentary ramen daily in the club lounge for all guests, from 9.30pm-10.30pm. Take a dip in the onsen and go grab your ramen 4. Complimentary ice-cream on the lounge floor 5. Multiple vending machines, ice machines and smoking rooms 6. The staff was super helpful and helped send our luggage to Tokyo through Yamato service. They also filled out our form

The newer of the two la vista hotels. Was relatively quiet during my stay. Booked a suite with the balcony onsen, which was excellent and truly hot spring water. Nice view from the balcony. Hotel staff were polite and helpful. Location was good, a short walk from the jr station, about 15 minutes in the snow, but probably quicker without ice on the sidewalks. Included breakfast was very good as well, quality ingredients and ample tables. Only downside’s were that the bed was very hard, though we were still able to get a good nights rest. Phone in the hotel room does not dial out at all, no local calls or anything only room to room. Price was a bit high for the area all things considered but the room was quite large and the bathroom floors are all heated except for outside. Make note, brown towels in the room are for hot springs water as the water seems to be high in iron and will leave brown residue on the white towels. Would definitely stay here again, dormy brand hotels have been pretty consistent in quality everywhere I’ve stayed in them in Japan.

Very spacious room can sleep 4, the breakfast varieties is awesome, from shashimi to grilled seafood and many varieties of traditional japanses cuisine . Just the timing is a hit early, until 9am for latest sit in and close at 930am sharp . Hot spring onsen not very big and quite crowded. Location is good as easy to walk to main tourist spots, walking distance to many eatery places and also morning market. Walking distance to cable car station as well. Price is reasonable for non peak period .
