Toyako Manseikaku Hotel Lakeside Terrace

Best stay in my Hokkaido trip! I am glad that that I made the decision to switch from staying at Noboribetsu to Toya Lake, and chose this hotel! Everything was great, from service to amazing onsens (both of them at L8 with amazing calm view, and at L1 with Japanese garden view), to the location of the hotel right in front of the lake looking at the majestic Mount Yotei! The dinner and breakfast spreads were fantastic! For the price you pay that includes the dinner and breakfast, and the best location looking at the lake and the mountain, it will be the best decision you make for your trip!

Pros: We booked a lake view room but were given an east wing ground floor room, where half of the window was blocked by a tree. Reception was kind enough to change us to 5th floor in central building, but did inform us the room was old (turned out, it was ok and we had great view of the lake). Room and bathroom were spotless clean. Cons: the onsen was disgusting with particles floating around in the water, especially in the single tubs on 6th floor. We also saw someone blowing their nose in the onsen bath (eeeeew....). Will we be back? Maybe (considering the price), but will skip their heavenly looking onsen entirely. Tips: reserve early slots for dinner and breakfast, the queue grew long for latter slots.

Overall was a good stay experience. There was leakage in the toilet however was resolved very soon. Our room was changed within 15mjns. Onsen was amazing. There are lots to do nearby, Sean boat paddling, speed boat and the firework show at night.
