HOTEL＆SPA CENTURY MARINA HAKODATE

We absolutely loved this hotel. Although our room didn’t face Mt. Hakodate, it overlooked the sea, which was stunning, especially at night. The room was spacious, and the facilities were excellent. Everything was well-maintained, which we truly appreciated. We especially loved the thoughtful touches, like the ability to choose from a wide range of pillows on the second floor and the aroma service. These personal touches made the stay feel extra special and elevated the overall experience. The breakfast was decent, but I’d rate it a 3/5. While there was a lot of variety, the taste was just okay for us. The sashimi bar was a highlight for many guests, but we felt that the salmon and tuna sashimi weren’t of the highest grade - they seemed more like frozen options. That said, we may be nitpicking, as we noticed other guests enthusiastically piling their plates with ikura and sashimi. We think the breakfast could benefit from adding grilled seafood options, like yaki hotate, to cater to guests who aren’t keen on raw food but still want to enjoy seafood dishes. The bathing facilities were fantastic. Everything was clean, and the amenities provided were top-notch. The semi-open onsen on the top floor was incredibly relaxing, great atmosphere and it was definitely a highlight of our stay. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay here again when I visit Hakodate!

The hotel room is small but has everything you need. Bathroom is nicely designed with a good functional shower. Buffet breakfast was clearly the winner. There were chefs present who would slice sashimi for you on demand and make you pancakes and many more items.

In the same trip at Hakodate 3 nights; I stayed at 2 hotels which this hotel is the later one. I was so surprised on the breakfast buffet in a large and well decorated restaurant. I truly believed that for the breakfast here, it is exceptional as they offered variety of choices, tasty, and more over it's nicely decorated in detailed in each serving and in the buffet lines. The onsen also large and the roof top was very nice. To rank hotels in Hakodate; I would give this hotel as #1.

This very modern hotel is located very close to Hakodate station and overlooking the harbour. Our room was a good size and tastefully decorated and furnished and the beds were particularly comfortable. The highlight of the hotel for me was the baths, which were fantastic, particularly the open air outdoor bath with the chill wind whistling past and views over the town. The other highlight was the breakfast buffet, which offered all types of Japanese and western alternatives, and was one of the most comprehensive buffets I have seen during my travels. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this very reasonably priced hotel staffed by very pleasant and helpful people.

Hotel is a handy walk from the JR station even in the snow. The room was spacious for Japan standards and very clean. Close to the fish markets and many choices to eat. This would have been of the best breakfast we have had. The selection and freshness was exceptional. So many choices. The Onsen on the top floor was lovely overlooking Mount Hokodate. Definitely gets our recommendation.
