The hotel was excellent value, less than a minute walk from the station with a public bath and buffet breakfast. The staff were friendly and helpful with quick and easy check in. There is a 7-11 just a couple of minutes away, so even if you get to the hotel late, you can grab a cheap meal and snacks. The only problem I had was breakfast on the first day. I arrived at the restaurant at 8:35am and there was almost no food left. There were others that arrived after me and we did not have enough to eat. The next day, I got to the restaurant before 7:30am and there was plenty of food, so please get in early to make the most of the breakfast.

Location is so.good as being a few minutes walking distance from Sawara train station. I found the cleanliness in the service area and room excellent, and the staff so nice and helpful. A police station is located nearby so as to guarantee the security around the hotel and train station. The only drawback may be the distance from the hotel to Tokyo. The train or bus ride to Tokyo takes near one and half hour. I would come back again, and recommend to friends.

便利だが、ご飯難民になる

佐原駅前で便利ではあるが、その反面、踏切の音が響いてました。テレビを消すと気になるくらいの音です。 また夜は早くお店が閉まるので、夕食を食べるのであれば周囲の居酒屋かホテル内のレストラン(21:30まで)しか無い。案内通りにお店に行っても自営業でお客さんが居ないと閉めてしまうらしいので、気をつけてください。
