Overrated For Price

The front desk was a little standoff ish. I arrived at 9pm and you would have thought the world was ending. Just a massive hotel with a lot of people. The onsen was super crowded and lots of the surrounding restaurants close earlier than mentioned. A bit pricey for the style of room, but very limited availability in the area.

Beautiful views, but antiquated facilities

The hotel is conveniently located on the site of Lake Akan, and our room had a stunning view of the lake. However, overall the room was very old-fashioned - we wondered if it had been renovated since the hotel opened - and it has the tiniest bathroom I have ever seen in Japan. It is so tiny that is difficult to use the toilets comfortably, and some visitors may have problems entering the bathroom. The hotel "upgraded" the toilets by adding a Washlet seat system, but the seat is too big for the old-fashioned toilet bowl and makes the space seem even smaller. Be careful when using the bathtub, as the bathroom floor flooded easily. The dinner and breakfast buffets offered a wide variety of good food with a nice view of the lake. It is a pity, however, that the breakfast buffet only offers margarine, especially since Hokkaido is a great producer of butter.

Good relaxing stay with a nice lakeside views

Check-in was fast, efficient and courteously done; staff friendly. Room size is big, bed & toilet clean; the shower curtains however, ave a 'smelly' odour and they were one or two hooks missing and felt 'mouldy'. The decor needs an upgrade overall from the room, lobby to the common areas. Book with a good view of the lake (Lake Akan) and Mt. Oakan. Quite central located in this resort area, and if you drive, easy access to the other lakes like Kussharo and Musho as well as other nice observation points for wonderful views of the lakes and surrounding area. The breakfast and dinner restaurant area is huge and can be busy during peak hours. There is a wide selection of western and local food; they are replenished regularly. The onsen is worth a visit and open almost 24 hours.

Buffet breakfast & dinner were good with lots of variety. The outdoor onsen has excellent view of lake akan. Smelt fishing at lake Akan was excellent and reasonably price compare to other places. Firework was better here compared to other places in Hokkaido. Hot beverages and simple snacks were served during check in. Pillows very hard.

Hotel is in a run down condition, wallpaper falling off, bathroom inside the room had stains everywhere including on the sink and basin. Towel had stains. Dinner and breakfast included was buffet style and overall the quality and taste was below average. It seemed like the restaurant could not cope with the influx of customers and food was mostly empty. Felt like it was a war zone. Customers kept having to tell staff that food were empty. No table service, used plates piled as there were insufficient staff to take away used plates. Also we stayed for 2 nights and the buffet food was exactly the same for breakfast and dinner. On the other hand, the lake view in the Japanese tatami room was excellent, best view for the Snow Festival fireworks. Rooftop pool is nice, women's onsen is spacious and has a sauna. Hotel has a minivan driver service to drive you to the car park

Not impress by the hotel 70’s decor. Overall badly needed a facelift on its facility, decor and room. Our room is on second floor near the restaurant.

Beautiful room, great buffet and spa

Our room was the largest I had ever seen in a Japanese hotel. In addition to the comfortable pair of "twin" beds (which were larger than American twin beds) pushed together, there was a large futon set against a large bay window, so we could relax and enjoy a fantastic view of Lake Akan. The breakfast and dinner buffets included in our room fee provided a broad selection of japanese and western style dishes that were delicious. There was a spa on the roof of the hotel that included two jacuzzies (sp?) and one huge warm pool with semi-submerged lounge chairs. We could lay on the chairs and look up at the stars or enjoy colored light sculptures. Even though there were about two tour bus groups in the hotel, our room and the spa were quiet.

Nicely renovated rooms with a good view.

Hotel is well located on the lake. The lobby area is very dated; feels like a 1980's hotel. We had rooms in the Shangri-La wing, which appear to have been recently and very tastefully renovated. They were much more spacious than other hotels in which we stayed in Hokkaido and had beautiful views of the lake. The bathrooms, however, were tiny. The buffet dinner and breakfast were served in the restaurant off the lobby area. I have never seen this many people at a buffet. There appear to have been quite a few tour groups in the hotel. Although it was crowded, with extraordinarily long lines, everything was calm and everybody was extremely polite. Although very few staff spoke a word of English, they were extremely helpful.
