Great hotel with great view and service! Unfortunately the location isn’t that great, about 15-30mins drive away from the main attractions. Staff were amazing though! Go all way out to fulfil our meals needs. 5 stars for the front desk and kitchen staff!

This onsen hotel is not in the main area on the southern shore of Lake Toya. It is associate with a small sleepy village with limited tourist infrastructure support. But the hotel itself does pretty much everything and it seems very new (probably built or refitted and renovated well after 2010). They have a decent shuttle service between themselves, the main onsen area on the south side of Lake Toya, and the Lake Toya JR Hokkaido train station. Their included breakfast is pretty good and high quality. I actually didn’t try dinner there and realized I probably should have and it was the best option certainly for the area. The onsen area is quite modern with a nice outdoor pool looking out on to nature. In addition all room have an outdoor balcony hot tub. So in a way you really don’t need to go to the onsen. I went to the onsen around 6-7 am and I was the only one there. It seems like I was traveling during the off season and it seems like most tourists didn’t really know about this area of Lake Toya and the hotel. It was so serene being in the outdoor pool onsen as well as the balcony hot tub. Quiet sleepy village, few tourists, few cars making the trip around the lake. I can’t imagine it being better (or it must worse), in the busier onsen area or southern region of Lake Toya.

We had been at Toya many times, staying at various properties, including the famous Windsor. This time round, we decied to try this modern property instead of Lake Sumida. This is indeed a nice property but probably more suited for young couples rather than for family with young kids. However we still had a great time, as they do factor in children and provided small yukata as well.

Good size for triple bedder. Nice and quiet. Cons are No hook for hanging clothes or towel in bathroom except the bar which outside there door. We needed to hang a bag to contain our clothing inside while showering. Tap at basins are very low, when one needs to fill up flask, have to do it with shower head inside bathroom.

The deco is great, given it was designed by a famous architect. Other than the deco, there is nothing. Location is terrible as you need the shuttle bus for going to the Toya Onsen Street and Toya Station. You also often have to wait for others who are always late. Food is a disaster. Breakfast is served with cold meat, old bread, overcooked rice and lack of variety. The exact same food repeats every morning. Dinner is so awful that it receives huge complaints on Google Maps reviews. Staff mostly are Chinese and fail to upkeep the services that the deco deserves. What a shame.

The views were phenomenal and absolutely worth the price. Their staff were so considerate, helpful and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. A+. We couldn't find the hotel in our rental car's GPS so we just keyed in the telephone number of the convenience store close by.

pleasant stay & relaxing
The hotel only opened for 1 yr, condition very new! We booked a double room with lake view and outdoor bathtub (tht was amazing overlooking the Toya Lake!!! even tho its just hot water not actual spring water, but downstairs provide public bath tht is proper onsen) Not a crowded hotel at all since its not so near to town, which was what made it so relaxing~ but one thing was the shuttle bus is not so frequent.. so when we had nothing to do on the onsen street in town, we had to take taxi which costs us ard 3500 yen to get to the hotel... otherwise we had to wait another 1.5 hr with nothing to do since all shops are closed...tht was very expensive! more shuttle bus or allow pick up service would make the trip so much better n convenient!
breakfast area
view from balcony (view of outdoor bathtub!!)
view from bed just amazing
breakfast with enough choices i think~

Everything is PERFECT!!!
It was a very pleasant stay at WE! Everything was perfect! Excellent room, service and food. Staffs can speak good English and very helpful. Location will be a down side for travellers without a car as it’s a bit out of down town (Onsen street) but it could also be an advantage to enjoy the silence. Perhaps they are still very new so we cannot find it from the car GPS but still managed to find it from Google Map. We stayed there for only one night which is too short :( The room is nicely decorated and provide everything you need. The private bath tub on the balcony was amazing, especially when it’s snowing outside. The public onsen (spa) is clean and big! The breakfast is a must try! Highly recommended to family and couple!

Excellent location with views of the Lake Toya. Access to the lake via steep driveway. Hotel itself is excellent with very friendly staff. Onsite onsen is excellent as well. The problem is that the hotel is far (20min shuttle ride) from the town with no other restaurants near the hotel.

Designer hotel with relaxing environment
The hotel is amazing and love the design of the room. There is an outdoor onsen at the balcony of the room. Love the sofa bed by the big window in the room. Really relaxing environment. It takes 20 mins to go to the fireworks city Centre by the hotel shuttle.

Place is very new, clean and in excellent condition. The design is very good and minimalist with good layout and spacious. Room is bright and with very good lake view. One minor complaint is the wash basin with the low tap which made washing difficult.

Relaxing stay
Only stayed there for 2 nights, but I definitely loved it. The room was spacious and in good order. The view of Lake Toya was beyond description. It was so refreshing to be able to see the beautiful lake view every morning I woke up. The hot bath was super amazing. The service was good and very attentive.

洞爺湖を眺められる
隈研吾デザインで落ち着いた雰囲気のホテルでした。 客室も広々としており、窓から洞爺湖を眺めました。部屋のベランダにある露天風呂もヒノキの香りが気持ちよかったです。 料理についても、道産食材を使いとても美味しかったです。しかし、スタッフが外国人のため、料理の説明がなく残念でした。 厨房の慌ただしさが音で少々聞こえてしまうので、ラグジュアリーホテルにしては、落ち着きが足りないと思います。 朝食もプレートとビュッフェの兼用タイプでしたが、説明が足りなく、ビュッフェを十分に堪能できませんでした。 また、ホテル全体の雰囲気はとても素晴らしいですが、デザイン性にこだわっているためか時々使い勝手が悪い点もありました。 大浴場のシャワーの水圧が弱い 大浴場の着替え場所に扇風機がなく、暑かった
