I liked the ofuro and the various pools. Food was good. Lots of space to plug in and use computer/iPhone. They need to work on the info for foreigners_ poor grammer, difficult to understand. Our room 214 - the paint was cracked in two spots. We did ask for two twin beds and prefer floor space in between as shown in picture online. They serve free coffee if one drinks it which i don't and there was no alternative except once or twice during our four day stay. They could provide a map of the area showing where Stellar Mall is and other touristy sites. The clothing they want us to wear is not breathable material. The rail lines are noisy during the day'evening. I'm glad to experience this place - 2 to 3 days are best. I'm glad to see the local people utilize the place as well. DON'T POST PLEASE

Safe

This is a very unique, spa-hotel with amazing things to discover! We had a great time! I will prefix this by saying that if you want a tradition hotel, this might not be for you. Our room was small but comfortable, the bed reminded me more of a ryokan than a western hotel with a small sink and toilet. The shower stations and onsen are where you can bathe, shave and dry your hair. This is a communal onsen. I did wish the towels were newer but overall it didn’t really bother me. We really enjoyed the morning breakfast special, it was 880 yen and very filling. There are many areas of the spa-hotel to explore, like the massage chair room, hammock space and fire place. There is also a children’s play room. You need to remove your shoes when you enter and lock them in a locker, one day we kept our key and one day they asked to keep the key behind the desk. There is also free coffee and tea. We would definitely stay here again and would like to spend more time at the hotel next time. We really were only there to sleep and eat breakfast but did explore it in the mornings because we were often up very early. Recommend for people who enjoy a funky and cool atmosphere!

Amazing, highly recommended.

Horrible. First and last. Maybe its because I am gaijin and used to gaijin style hotels

Very fun hotel concept, with a great public bath and huge collection of books/games/mangas. Very convenient if you plan to visit the train museum (5 minutes by walk). The food in the cafe was also excellent

Like the style of the hotel with different types of hot spring. Very energetic .

The place is a more of a spa with a hotel attached. I stayed on a week night, it was full of young couples lounging around in matching PJs. I was the only foreigner there. The staff speaks very little English, so I had to get by with my limited Japanese. Even though the hotel is right next to the tracks and a bit far from the station, the soundproofing is excellent. The café’s menu is Japanese only, but the food was really good. The baths were enjoyable. I beleieve they also offer massages and facials for an extra fee.

Exceeded our expectations. Many amenities available and the onsen was a lot more than pictured. A very relaxing place! Would love to come back again.

Tres bien Only problem was my teen-age "Princess teen-age grand daughter wanted a personal shower - not one downstairs with other women.
