Guesthouse Hakodate Bay - Hostel

The building is a little bit old and not a good space to relax in the commun space

It's not even a block away from the nearest tram station. Once you step outside, you're halfway there. It's also not too far from Mount Hakodate, and the walk from the hostel to the mountain wasn't bad in my opinion.

The host was very friendly and helpful. The location was very easy to get to from the JR station. Lots of great places to eat within walking distance!

Location was close to train station and easy to get to. N/a

Also great location near to the sea as well as station. The air in the room was standing and the windows cannot be opened, also with ac it didn't really change, the ait just got colder, not better.

It is clean. Friendly staff. The location is also good. Near a tram line, to the Hakodate JR station, restaurants, and convenient stores. Most of the attractions are also near the guest house. No enough space for the luggage.

Nice budget hotel, clean and good location

This property was at a good location for what I wanted to see. It's about a 15-20 minute walk from the Kanemori Warehouses, a 30-35 minute walk from the old town hall and churches, and a 30-40 minute walk from the ropeway. Mt. Hakodate is within view from the street. There's also a street car stop not far that can take you to Goryokaku Park/Tower. I found the facilities clean and squared and decorative yet sparse. Downstairs reminded me a little of someone's grandparents' house, while upstairs reminded me of a college dorm. The air conditioner in the room I had needed cleaned. I thought the pillow was little hard and bean-bag like, though I think by the third night I was more used to it. There was also a flowery smell in the room. I think it was created by a scent dispenser. I know a lot of people like those, but the smell was strong for me.

exceptional going-the-extra-miles services. staff rushed back to check me in, after office hours. really appreciate it. nothing. !

Good

Owner None

Essential needs such as towel, shower liquids, cooking utensils, and etc are well met The shower area is very very small

The location is near a trem station It is hard to have the luggage open in the room. I alsa had to pay cash because credit card is not accepted

Exceptional

Staff are very nice. It is easy to walk to nearby attractions or get a tram. Very quiet area and konbini only a 5 minute walk. The first room we were assigned to smelled very strongly of mould. We requested to move to a new room which they approved (this room was fine). There was black mould in some of the showers, on the walls and on the soap bottles.

Vicinity to train and tram very convenient Make sure you have cash on you as they do not accept card payments!!!! There is an odd smell of damp within the hostel and my dorm it smelt of feet (no body else in the dorm when I arrived, hostel nearly empty) Damp dirty towel left in kitchen creating a smell Rubbish bag open but no signage saying what type of rubbish to put there (there is on another bin but signage is only in Japanese) Not very secure as stayed 3 night and most times in and out of the hostel there was nobody on the front desk and the door to the hostel is unlocked so anybody can walk in and out, and dorm rooms are not individually locked They have a washing machine but no tumble dryer or facilities to dry outside - laundry had to dry in the dorm No individual bunk lighting

Check in and check out were smooth. Clean facilities

Sukumoto San was a very friendly and informative owner and manager. Very good host. Will surely stay here again the next time. Thank you Sukumoto San for making my stay in Hakodate memorable. Cheers to your sake. The check-in time at 3pm is very good and the door is left open 24 hours. So no need to worry about coming back late. Bath towel is provided FOC which is a plus. Nothing.

Superb

Very good
