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.

Check in was quick and staff was friendly. The room was clean. My only complaint would be the noise. The walls were thin and I could hear the people talking in the next room. The towels in the bathroom were a bit small, as well. Everything else was good.

Mid-budget hotel right next to the Station
It was a simple one night stay to check out the place and enjoy a bit of me-time. The only thing I am not happy about was the fact I need to pay 150 yen for the use of the onsen which should have been complimentary for hotel guests. Yes the amount is small but the shock of being presented with a bill at the end of the stay when it is not expected is not welcomed.

Very close to train station and popular hotsprings
It was a good place for the price. Doesn't have as many amenities as some of the other hotels, however, the others costs a heck of a lot more money. The staff was very friendly and accomodating (except late check out is not allowed without a fee). The hot springs/ bathing area is nothing big, but is good. Rooms do not have wifi. Only available in the lobby. Besides that, there really isn't much else the hotel offers.

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。
