The rooms had a classic "Showa era" style, which gave them a great atmosphere, and were quite spacious for two people. The onsen was on the small side but clean and nice, with a pretty outdoor area. There was a lounge area with free drinks, nuts, and dried fruit. It was a decent value. I'd stay there again.

ロビーで日本酒やビールが飲み放題♪ 広々とした和洋室あり。

素泊まりでしたがロビーにてアルコール含むドリンクバーが無料で利用でき、おつまみのナッツなども食べ放題でした。和洋室があるので布団で寝るのが難しい海外の方にもおすすめです。簡易的なベッドではありますが、1泊くらいなら問題ないと思いました。もちろん温泉は最高!曜日にもよるのかもしれませんが朝と夜は周辺のお店や施設がほとんど閉まっている様子だったので、湯田中温泉を訪れる際はこちらのような温泉付きのホテルや旅館に宿泊することをおすすめします。

Good location for skiing and snow monkeys

Great place, had a very comfortable stay. Good onsen and complimentary drinks and snacks. Ideal for skiing Shiga kogen or Nozawa onsen. Perfect for the snow monkeys. Will visit again.

期待以上に快適でした

アクセスは湯田中温泉駅から徒歩3分以内と至近です。花火大会がメインだったため今回は素泊まりでしたが2種類の温泉が夜中でも入れ、部屋も広く快適でした。Wifiも改善されており部屋でも使用できました(たまに途切れ途切れになります)今回は素泊まりでしたが次回は食事つきで満喫したいです。 この値段で設備や古さに文句はいけないですね
