Perfect hotel. Location was next to the train station which is a must in this hilly town. Property nice and clean. Food was excellent. Kaiseki dinner with meat was tasty and filling. Breakfast was very good. Unfortunately the outdoor onsen was closed. Indoor onsen was large and had a variety of pools. Overall a memorable stay and I highly recommend this hotel.

This place is perfectly nestled right behind the railway station (2mins up hill). Inside the hotel it is a little dated in the rooms but you won’t be spending much time there anyways! They offered both an outdoor onsen and an indoor onsen-sauna area with generous opening hours. It let me explore the surrounding area until late in the evening because I knew the onsen facilities would still be open and available! They have a free beverages inside the hotel alongside a few vending machines, but they’re also just 2 minutes away from a family mart. The breakfast included was quite nice! Good variety of foods with some unique offerings like steam your personal size tofu and grill your own personal portion of fish! Overall, I highly enjoyed my stay and would recommend this stay!

通常15時からの駐車を13時から受け付けてもらえて、荷物の預かりもしてもらえました。番号札をもらうだけのシンプルな方法でよかったです。温泉も金と銀の二つがありゆっくりつかれました。ただひとつだけあるシャワー室(シャワーがずっと出てくる)の排水が悪く、髪の毛が詰まっているのかと探ってみましたが全くダメでした。どんどんお湯が溜まってくるのがいい気持ちではなかったです。

まず、お部屋に行って、トイレを使用したところ、今までにない、臭いを放っていた、トイレでした。 フロントに伝えたところ、部屋の交換をしてくれました。 お風呂は、有馬温泉ということで、とても期待していたのですが、温泉の感じは、まったくなく、この施設を選択した自分を責めてしまうぐらいでした。 食事は、夕食と朝食をつけましたが、これと言って凄いと思えるところは、ありませんでした。 今回の料金では、次に泊まる候補には絶対に入りません。 費用対効果は人それぞれですが、庶民の私には理解し難い感じでした。
