Reviews and Ratings
This hotel had an amazing location right on Lake Akan, providing stunning views and easy access to local attractions like the nature center and Ainu village. The rooms were clean and had a nice view, although the air conditioning was an issue during my stay. The staff was polite but not as friendly compared to other places I've visited. Dining options exceeded my expectations with a fantastic variety, especially the seafood, but breakfast had a bit of a rush. Overall, it was a decent value for money with its prime location and great dining.
This hotel is a real gem with stunning views right over the lake and well-appointed rooms that definitely added to the experience. The staff was friendly and attentive, which made my stay even better. The breakfast buffet was awesome, but be prepared for higher prices if you want one of the lake view rooms during busy times. Overall, it’s a great place to unwind and enjoy the scenery, though the dining options could use some improvement.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is absolutely fantastic, right on the lake and close to the Ainu village and nature center. The rooms were decent, although I wasn't a fan of the mattress and could hear guests passing by. The service was okay but didn't quite match the friendliness I've experienced at other places in Hokkaido. Overall, it’s a solid choice with some pros and cons.
I had an okay stay overall. The hotel is in a stellar location, right on the lake and within walking distance to the nature center and shopping. The staff was generally polite and did their best to be helpful. Unfortunately, the rooms could use some improvement, as mine smelled a bit like smoke and the air conditioning wasn't working well, making it pretty warm. The dining experience was also a mixed bag, with good seafood but some dishes falling flat. Overall, it was decent value for money, considering the location.
I recently stayed at this hotel and really enjoyed the beautiful lakeside views; it's such a serene location! The rooms were comfortable, but there was a lingering smell of smoke that was a bit off-putting. The breakfast buffet was fantastic, offering a wide variety of options, especially seafood. The service was decent, though I encountered some staff who weren’t as warm as I’d hoped. Overall, this hotel offers good value for money, particularly with its stunning location.
