Hotel Gozensui

localisation and lake view

price pretty high

Location

Shower was a bit weak.

Nice view

Smoke smell in the room. Hold hotel

Location and view on the lake are great. It's also super close from the (second) ferry stop. The onsen is very big and staff is nice.

It being rated 4* is a stretch, between the general old look and the buffet breakfast having a cantine feeling.

The town was interesting, though 90% of shops all sell the same sort of woodwork. The food is also a bit on the limited side. Most (80% plus) people seem to sign up for full meal plan, which we do not prefer. Lacking that, 60% of restaurants only open for lunch, 20% do not operate outside of peat season and others are a bit challenging to locate. We did find a few, after a few false starts. Outside of that, the location is interesting and definitely worth a visit. Watch out if you decide to hike up Meakan, the top is steep with poor footing (but great views).

The room could have been a bit cleaner. Also, the onsen, while adequate, was less than what I would have expected from an onsen location (bit basic and seems to need some serious renovation. The hotel itself is also rather dated and looking very worn. The toilet in the room was claustrophobic and felt dirty (some of it could be simply age), with the hardware not working fully. The view is of the ferry terminal and thus, not the best. Note also that the staff speak only very rudimentary english (did not help that google translate seemed to have a bad period as translation was poor), making it a struggle. We also arrived after 230 and they would not let us check in, though the room was empty, and did not facilitate the storage of luggage in interim (not normal experience for me over the past decades). This was the only time we were a bit early, thus felt this lack of assistance more.

Great location with lake view, nice onsen. Overall we had a great stay, thank you!

A bit outdated but it didn’t really bothered us.

Location just at the edge of Lake Akan. View into Lake Akan from our room was stunning. Room was spacious. Umbrellas provided for rainy day.

Hotel is dated. Room decor and equipment was old, in dire need of a refresh. Even the telephone was dial type! Room was musty, needed airing out. Really not used to sleeping on a futon, too thin.

Location just next to Lake Akan, walking distance to Ainu village, I got an amazing lake view room too. Hotel gave me a gift when checking out.

Toilet was a bit small. Hot water pressure was low.

Water front view, central to bus centre and tourist attractions, AC really good!, double window pans for heat control, hot water comes fast

The bathroom fan didn’t work for our room.

Great location, great view of the lake, lovely onsen (which dry sauna and open air bath) good value for accommodation in this area. Can walk everywhere in Akan from here.

Walls a little thin, I could hear neighbors talking in the morning , but that is to be expected.

Fantastic location, most affordable, clean rooms, easy to use Laundry facilities. Friendly Staff. Perfect Hotel.

It is pity that I could not have Onsen because my own reason. It is cozy Japanese room, very close to firework point. Reception has good service.

The hotel is on the shore of Lake Akan, with a beautiful view of the lake from the window. The location is good, parking is convenient, the breakfast are delicious and the staff are very friendly.

2nd time staying at Hotel Gozensui. The rooms are directly facing Lake Akan. Love the futon + tatami. Value for money

None. Love this hotel

Very friendly staff, traditional room is old but big and has everything, comfortable. Through the window of the room can see the Lake. In the morning within breakfast, one deer was eating the tree leaves outside.

location on the lake, parking

old room, doesn't feel clean.breakfast

Great location, large room. Easy parking. Breakfast okay.

Hotel felt a little dated.

Motorcycle friendly accomodation on the lake in the heart of Kushiro.Close to shops and native village. Off street unsecure parking.

Arrived wet and at 1pm on my motorcycle but check in is strictly not before 3pm so had to sit in my wet riding gear. Restaurant was not operating for dinner.

The receptionist is very friendly. We were not able to find a restaurant for dinner. He helped us to find one and called the restaurant to confirm they are open. The hotel is clean and convenient. Free coffee was served.

Pleasant reception service. Special bread for those checking out. Well located near shopping street.
