Toyako Hotels with balcony

"My first impression was that the room facilities were outdated. Thankfully, the lobby view was great, and we could watch the fireworks over the lake without having to go outside. The buffet food was also decent. These factors somewhat made up for the room's environment and facilities, which were even worse than a budget hotel. In particular, the table and cabinet in front of the TV were so old they made me uncomfortable. The air conditioning was practically useless; it was stuffy and hot after a bath. Overall, it wasn't good value for money. Check-in and check-out were fully self-service, and the staff weren't particularly warm. Unless they renovate, I probably won't stay here again. There are plenty of other hotel options nearby. The view of Lake Toya outside the window, however, was beautiful."

"A dated place. Old fashioned tap mixer and door set. Toilet very small and the door cannot even open fully. Worst, there's still a step to it. Have to be very careful, specially with the wet floor after the shower. They claimed it's a mountain view, it's just trees actually - cannot even see far! Bed was uncomfortable with only a small pillow. The floor at the men onsen is very disgusting! It's a far cry from the photos here. Don't recommend at all!"

"This is a long-standing four-star Japanese onsen ryokan in Lake Toya, located at the entrance of the onsen town. If you're driving from Muroran, it's the first hotel you'll reach, making it very convenient for loading and unloading luggage with a chartered car. The female staff at the front desk spoke fluent English with no accent and at a moderate pace, making communication very smooth. Her English proficiency was even better than the front desk staff at Hilton Niseko. The service follows a traditional Japanese ryokan style. Upon check-out, they print the accommodation tax receipt and place it in an envelope, adding a nice touch of formality. The stay included dinner on the night of arrival and breakfast the next morning. The restaurant offered great views and a wide variety of food choices. There were many individual travelers and almost no tour groups, making it good value for money, though the food taste was only average. The onsen facilities met four-star standards, with appropriately sized pools and uncrowded shower areas. However, the changing rooms lacked lockers; clothes had to be placed in open baskets, with only small cabinets available for locking valuables, so privacy for clothing storage was somewhat limited. The hotel is not far from the fireworks boat pier, but it's not the closest, and the fireworks boat experience was mediocre. Being at the end of the onsen town means a bit of a walk to reach the shops."

"The price was relatively good, especially since I booked a last-minute trip to Hokkaido. All the trendy private onsen hotels were fully booked, so I settled for this one with a public hot spring. To my surprise, I had the entire onsen to myself that evening! The room had a traditional Japanese tatami design, and I could see Lake Toya from the window. It felt a bit old but was perfectly functional and had no strange odors. There's a black 7-Eleven nearby, just a short walk away. The only slight inconvenience was transportation; I couldn't find a taxi in the morning and had to wait for a bus to the JR station."

"Stayed at the Deluxe Villa in WE Hotel Toya Dusit Collection and it was honestly one of the nicest stays during our Hokkaido trip. The villa was extremely spacious, clean, and beautifully designed with a very modern Japanese style. What surprised us most was how big the villa actually was — it came with 3 bedrooms, 3 toilets, a large living room, dining area, laundry room, and even 2 floors. It truly felt more like staying in a luxury private house rather than a hotel. The atmosphere was very peaceful and relaxing, perfect for a getaway near Lake Toya. We especially loved the warm wood interior, tatami-style seating area, huge windows, and cozy living space. The bedrooms were comfortable and the entire villa was very well maintained."

"The little house is very spacious. It could accommodate up to 8 guests and we enjoy the lake view very much."

"Nestled amidst lush greenery and surrounded by the soothing sounds of insects and birds, this secluded cabin offers a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The owner even went the extra mile by offering us a hearty breakfast to kickstart our day. Access to the loft is via a collapsible staircase, which may not be suitable for those with a fear of heights."

"一個風景絕佳的房子，很新，設備也很先進。非常適合悠閑渡過假期！"

"do not try to check in at night, might not be able to find the house. if you book via trip.com rmb to contact the house owner to get password beforehand as trip.com will not send it to you"

"”This was an ocean-view house we rented for just one day to visit Chikyu Misaki (Cape Chikyu) and Lake Toya before heading to Sapporo and Otaru with a group of 8 people. As expected, the ocean view was amazing, there was plenty of space for all 8 of us to sleep, and all the facilities were well-equipped. Everyone felt it was a real shame we could only stay for one day. It offers great value for the price. Note: There aren't many restaurants nearby, and most of them close around 7–8 PM, so keep that in mind.”"
