Guest house Hakodate Bay is super nice and well located it’s an easy walk over to the train station and the owner is super kind and friendly, he’ll even give some really good restaurant recommendations the rooms are a bit packed but well worth it. I highly recommend it for those on the go solo travelers, and if you’re a huge one piece fan there’s a picture frame in the stairwell that has a one piece puzzle fully put together and framed.
WwaynethepaintTrip.com has always been my go to for travel bookings. Similarly this time to Niseko, decided to extend for an additional week and MyEcolodge came up in the search.
I have to mention the checkin was seamless, but what I thought i booked, vastly differ from what was allocated for me. I thought what i booked was a room to myself however it turns out as a shared room. Its not a big deal but the feeling of misinterpretation leaves an awful taste.
(Trip.com CS stepped in and helped to clarify things but theres nothing that could be done. peak season, and everywhere else is fully booked or without paying a premium)
That said, the stay was good. MyEcolodge sits in a very convenient location just couple stops from Hirafu. Theres various buses including free shutters so thats really an ease off the mind)
7eleven, a small cafe, hotpot/shabushabu restaurant just sits across from you. The hostel also has their own cafeteria though ive never eaten there (food looks good though).
They have a huge storage room for your gears, pretty safe so no worries. pantry, laundry room, washroom are pretty spacious and kept tidy.
The room itself is fine, nothing to wow about. nothing to complain either. Towels are free and clean. Everything else you need to pay.
Overall good stay.
Pray hard you get nice room mates if youre sharing!
ผผู้เข้าพักYuni No Yu hotel has amazing staff, who mostly spoke Japanese. They went out of their way to communicate with us in English. They sent hotel staff to pick us up from the Yuni Station and when we left they drove us back to the Yuni Station and from there we took the local train to the New Chitose Airport. The hotel is 1.4 miles from the Yuni Station. It was snowing and cold outside and we would not have made it to the hotel if we had to walk in the freezing and wet weather. There was no taxi in sight when we arrived at the Yuni station around 5 PM on January 26, 2026. We loved the authentic food prepared by the hotel restaurant chef! Delish! We took off our shoes at the hotel door, like other guests. They have shared, gender-specific showering/bathing/onsen. The winter wonderland scene outside the hotel was spectacular to see. Marvelous hotel, excellent service. A polite and beautiful people! Highly recommend this hotel!
