New Akan Hotel Reviews

Location- on other end of the row of hotels around Lake Akan boat cruise area so it is further away from the Ainu Kotan (Village) and convenience store. But boat cruise has 2 embarkation points, with one just a few minutes walk on the left of the hotel entrance so this is ok. Also a short walk to the Bokke (bubbling mud). Only negative point is that the carpark lots are limited so we had to use the hotel shuttle to go to and from the car parked in an open space about a block away. Winning point is the roof-top open-air public bath; it is a mixed gender public bath accessible separately from the male and female indoor baths which provides elastic banded tops and shorts to wear before going to the mixed gender pool. Allowed us to meet there to enjoy the beautiful sunset, mountains and lake views. Buffet breakfast and dinners were excellent; even though alcohol was not included unlike another hotel which we stayed in, there was plenty of food variety which were fresh and tasty. Highly recommend this hotel.

The hotel is next to Lake Akan and its pier. It’s catered to tourists group. Meals have large crowd. Buffet are standard and offered a good variety of Japanese cuisines. Beers and alcoholic drinks have additional charges.

The room at Crystal building is a little bit old, and the flush button of toilet is extremely hard to press. However the breakfast and dinner buffet is very good as well as the public bath.

Nice location with a good view of the Lake. Dinner and breakfast buffet offered a good variety of food. Had an enjoyable stay. Would love to visit again

Front desk staff greeting in good english, letting us know a firework at 20:30. Nice spacious hotel room, yet facing mountain side, no special view. Busy hotel restaurant, not easy to get a seat or get some food, queuing up everywhere, limited choice of food. Location wise, good.

Although hotel abit old fashioned but buffet spread for breakfast and dinner was good. Bonus point is the onsen which was very quite big n well equipped

This hotel is aged hotel , the old wings room are too old fashion . I suggest them need to renovation the old wings (JADE)

Really love the buffet breakfast & dinner. Lots of choices & fit every person.

Even though functional, the hotel needs a major refurbishment. Cramped bathroom, old faucets, horrible shower head and no air conditioning (or not turned on). We got a good deal so it’s bearable. But for 40000 yen, it’s not worth your money, although lake facing rooms have pretty view.

Large hotel, not new (or we had a room in the old wing) furniture is very worn, but everything is clean, great view of the lake from the room. On the roof is a warm good area with onsen and a warm pool on the roof. The buffet is delicious and varied both for dinner and for breakfast.

The hotel's food is very good, and the lake view is first-class. Like other hotels in the hot spring street, the facilities are a bit old, but the open-air hot spring is new and large, with a great view. The overall service and hygiene are good.

I was surprised at how delicious the food was! I didn't request a room facing the lake, but I ended up staying in a room with a great view.

It is a traditional hot spring hotel with nostalgic decoration, so the room facilities are average. But you can enjoy the lake view and snow-capped mountains from the room, which is very good. The breakfast is very rich. It is very comfortable to sit by the window and enjoy the lake view while eating breakfast.

It is an older hotel, and the room facilities are old. There were a lot of ********* tour groups when I checked in. The buffet dinner was pretty good, with a wide variety of food, including barbecue and so on. The toilet in the room was very small, but fortunately I could take a bath in the bathroom directly after taking a hot spring bath. The open-air hot spring was pretty good, I liked it very much~
