Gourd Swamp Park

We only stayed one night and did not get the chance to enjoy all that the hotel has to offer, but very much enjoyed our stay. The staff at reception at check in, check out and when we asked for some help about getting to our evening activity were all great. Very helpful, happy and friendly. They spoke very good English too, which was very helpful as our Japanese is limited to the very basic, polite phrases. While we didn’t have a chance to use it, we had a look at the lounge, at and it had great views (and free coffee machine). Also free coffee machine in the foyer for guest use. Close to station, so very easy to get around. Also easy to find. Morning market only a block away too. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again if we came back to Hakodate. Special thanks to the staff for being so welcoming.

The breakfast buffet was amazing and the variety allows you to do a full our Japanese food in one place! The hotel is beautiful on the inside and the rooms are definitely in the upper echelon of size that can be found in Hakodate! One more plus...wait for it....THEY HAVE A FITNESS CENTER! This is probably the only hotel in Hakodate that actually took the time to accommodate the fitness minded tourists! I travel to Hakodate probably 2 times a year and this will be my hotel that I stay at for all of my future stays. This hotel is amazing!
