The staff are very friendly and helpful. The young lady at reception showed us the website of live camera by the observatory so that we can check visibility from the hill top. Hotel location is perfect and an easy stroll to the most beautiful part in Hakodate. The decoration of former bank converted hotel is cool and stylish. The bathroom in double room is spacious in Japanese standard while the room is a bit cramped but we managed as we only spent two nights

The check-in process was a bit difficult as their check in machine did not pull my phone number and the confirmation number they had was not at all similar to the one I received from Hotels.com, which was frustrating. After that, it was okay--but there was no microwave in the room, which was a little frustrating. Otherwise great stay!

Immediately upon arriving, I was warmly welcomed by the front desk and made to feel like a priority with their proactive and efficient help. The whole process for my check in took less than five minutes and the front desk spoke perfect English which was a breath of fresh air. Anytime I walked past the front desk, they were attentive and would greet me warmly.

The location is so convenient! Everything is within walking distance and has two Hakodate food specialties Lucky Pierrot and Hasaegawa yakibentos just a few steps away.

The capsules are well maintained and clean with a lock box for storage of valuables.

The bathrooms were cleaned multiple times a day and my favorite part was the showers! Typically in Japanese hostels/capsule hotels, they have the same very small shower unit. But here, the showers are spacious as well as having a nice area for you to undress and store your belongings with a tiered storage unit.

Overall, a wonderful experience and I will be returning on my next trip to Hakodate.

Gem in the heart of Hakodate

Staying inside of a renovated bank building in the old downtown with a cool vibe and super high ceilings was fantastic. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom was also great with good water pressure and hot water. The staff was super friendly and helpful - plus the hotel has bikes on site for rental which a great way to explore the area. You can also ride the streetcar to get from here to the 5-star bastion fortress park and other areas. The red brick warehouse tourist / shopping area is just a block away. The ropeway to get a view from the nearby mountain, and many interesting churches are also within easy walking distance. Highly recommended. Although the hotel shows a bit of minor scuffs in the rooms, it just provides character to an otherwise great choice.

This is a very nice hotel to lodge in with good English speaking hotel reception staff. We received a room with split level (1 room for 2 adults on the lower floor and 1 room for 2 adults on the Upper Floor). The Upper Floor gave us access to the roof and we could clearly see Mount Hakodate from there and parts of the town.

The room was very comfortable, with a large bathroom. It is situated near the Red Brick Warehouses and merely 10 minutes walk to Mount Hakodate Ropeway. There is also a tram station nearby that gives us easy access to the Hakodate Train Stn, Morning Market and Town Centre.

Highly recommended.

I stayed in a 4 person room with a shared bathroom. It's close to the main tram line and within walking distance up to the cable car to go up Hakodate mountain. Room was large and had a fridge, a sink for washing hands/brushing teeth and 2 bunkbeds and a small sofa. I found the room rupee stuffy even though there was a control panel, even when I tired to turn the temperature down nothing happened. There was only 1 super small window so there wasn't much airflow. Having said that, the hostel itself is quite charming as it's a converted bank. The staff were friendly, spoke excellent English and tried to foster a sense of community between the guests. There's a shared kitchen up on the roof, plus a big balcony/rooftop which was nice. My parent swho are in their 60s didn't enjoy this hostel so much, but I thought it was perfectly serviceable for 1 night.

Loved this place!!!!!!!!!!!

Loved this place! This hotel is split into two building, one side is for shared rooms the other side is a traditional hotel. We stayed in the hotel side and absolutely loved it! Our room was spacious (by Japanese standards) and extremely clean, and the bathroom was so spacious. My favorite part of our room was the shower, a giant room with great water pressure and multiple shower heads. A great way to relax and unwind after a long day on your feet. The beds were comfortable, the wifi worked great, it had everything you needed. The hotel itself was terrific, it a great charm with nice artwork and payed homage to its former life as a bank with nice touches.The location is equally as impressive, just a 2 minute walk to the nearest tram station and walking distance to the historic wharf area with lots of shops and restaurants nearby. Go the other direction and the historic Motomachi area is a 10 minute walk. The hotel also has wonderful rooftop with nice views of the waterfront and mountains. My only complaint is the late check in times, 3pm, but this seems to be common in Japan. But you can leave your bags at reception, which is a nice touch.

The best hostel I've ever stayed.

The hostel location is in Hakodate Bay area, closed to Red Brick Warehouse.
Roof-Top relaxing area opens 24 hours so you can see the nice Hakodate scenery any time you want.
The staffs are nice and very welcome. They try to explain everything to their guests.
Although it is a shared bathroom, it's still clean and provides all necessary items such as toothbrush, comb, razor. Even pajamas, they also provide it on your bed.
The value got from the hostel is worth more than the cost I have paid.

Really appreciate and will stay here every time that I visit Hakodate.

I have to mention the great staff service. All the staff here are so friendly and helpful. The services felt so personalised. I had stayed in top service 6* hotels, and The Share hotel Hakaba is definitely comparable.

I was choosing between 5 star hotel or this hotel when I planned my itinerary. I love the architecture and the interior design from the pictures. However I was worried it as a backpacker accommodation. I booked a marionette room with private bathroom instead.

No regrets in my decision at all.

It has great service from staff, the rooms are clean and great views, the hotel is new and full of interesting design and artworks, the location is great (I drove).

The room is best among all during our two weeks Japan trip. Big room with unlimited supplies of toothbrush, shaver, cotton stick, tower in the shower room. Comfortable bed.

Numbers of shared shower room are more than enough for us.

The building looks like a bank in the old time. Turns out it was really a bank.
