La Vista Hakodate Bay

The hotel has a great location and amazing breakfast.  Daily free ramen and ice cream at night and tasty free hot drink daily are plus.

Room was way too hot and stuffy that we were sweating even while standing still. The AC only blew out hot air and could not be adjusted to a cooler temperature. We called the front desk to do something about it but was told straightaway that the only way was to keep the room window opened to let in the cool air from outside. Thr staff gave a scripted standard reply so it seemd the hotel knew all along about this problem from other guests but chose not to do anything about the issue. In opening the room window, we could not get a good night's rest as there were constant traffic noise and sounds of seagulls and motor sounds from boats sailing around the bay throughout the night and early morning. The room curtains were also not blackout curtains so the room was very bright as early as 5 am. Room furnishings such as the chair cushions were old, dirty and very sunken in due to prolonged periods of use. Bath towels also look very old and cheap quality. Buffet food was good but very crowded and the whole dining area was extremely hot and stuffy making it very difficult to have a comfortable meal. I would choose comfort over good buffet food anytime and likely not come back to this hotel again.

Little bit far from Center but it is so so and many peoples there in small Restaurant space so i couldn't eat full enough and price is huge 🥺
