Hirosaki Park Hotel, Hirosaki

I had a mixed experience at this hotel, especially being there during cherry blossom season. The rooms were small but comfy enough, and the staff was polite, but communication was a bit challenging. The breakfast had a good variety of options and a great view, but I felt the price was higher than what the hotel's quality warranted.

The hotel is in a great location, close to local restaurants and within walking distance to popular attractions like the castle and train station. The rooms are small but usually clean, though some may find the carpets need attention. Breakfast offers a delightful mix of Japanese and Western options with stunning views of Mt Iwaki, which is a definite highlight. However, some details like the washroom size and limited English-speaking staff may not be ideal for everyone.

I booked this hotel last minute and wasn't sure what to expect given the price, but overall, it turned out to be a good choice. The rooms were clean and typical for Japan, though definitely on the small side. The breakfast was a highlight, served on the rooftop with stunning views, but I did find some aspects like the furniture a bit dated. While the hotel isn't the closest to the train station, it's conveniently located near the city center. Overall, a decent stay, especially for the value during peak cherry blossom season.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel during the cherry blossom festival. The location is ideal, being close to local restaurants and attractions like the castle. The rooms are small but comfortable, adding to the classic Japanese hotel experience. The staff was polite and quite helpful, although the old furniture could use some updating. Overall, it was good value for money considering the breakfast was substantial and included a lovely mix of Japanese and Western options.

During my stay, I found the hotel to be somewhat of a mixed bag. The location is quite convenient, with easy access to local restaurants and a lovely view of Mt Iwaki from the rooms. However, the room size was a bit cramped, and the facilities felt dated. Despite this, I enjoyed the breakfast options which offered a nice mix of Japanese and Western dishes. While not the ideal choice for peak cherry blossom season pricing, it still provided decent value overall.
