wonderful stay”

The Japanese room we stayed in was spacious and tastefully redcoated. It overlooked the whole city and the view was was just spectacular. The open-air public bath and hot spring were big and well equipped. Dinner was delicious and there were so many choices in the buffet breakfast. We had a wonderful stay. It is super value-for-money.

disappointing”

1. we're travelling with young children. we specified that in our booking. no preparation was made for their meals or amenities. 2. the dinner was disappointing. the menu was only available in japanese, no clear explanation was given by the server. we found a small bone in the sashimi. salad mix has wilted leaves and roots in it. Definitely ranked the lowest in all the ryokans that we had stayed in. 3. not worth the price that we paid for.

Rented a fantastic tatami room. The yukata and slippers were especially high quality. The Onsen is wonderful with multiple indoor and multiple outdoor baths. Hotel has a good view of the mountains. It's on the edge of the city, so definitely a taxi ride, and there isn't much around the hotel that is walking distance. Breakfast was excellent.

Good place to stay at ”

Cleanliness can be improved. Room was musty smelling. The toilet looks like an afterthought and added in separately; big sized people surely will have problems using it. But my overall experience was pretty positive as the onsen was great and food was good too. But it was ruined as unfortunately it seems like my bedding had bedbugs.

街の中心にも車があればすぐに出れる便利な立地ながらも、少し高台にあり、部屋の窓ガラスが大きく開放的で景色も素晴らしいです。 温泉も部屋も清潔感があり、ご飯も私は朝食のみのプランでしたが、種類が多いながらも今までの他のホテルのご飯よりも美味しく、席もテーブル毎に区画されているので、雰囲気も良いです。 また、こちらのホテルのスタッフの心遣いには感銘を受けました。いくつもあるのでこちらでは割愛しますが、お客様を見てくれていて、何かあれば手助けしてくれる様な寄り添ったサービスも感じました。良いホテルってこれなんだなぁと思ったのが正直な感想です。 予算も同じくらいで他のホテルと迷っている人いたら、こちらは後悔しないと思うくらいオススメですよ!
