Reviews and Ratings
I must say, this hotel is a real gem! The rooms are spacious, clean, and quite nice with a traditional touch, making them comfortable. The service was helpful and friendly, although slightly more expensive than other places. The location is perfect for exploring the nearby attractions, especially with the convenience of a free shuttle bus. However, the dining experience left much to be desired with limited food options. Overall, a great value for the money spent.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious, clean, and equipped with a private bathtub and 'washlet' toilet, offering a lovely view of the forest. While the size of the room was slightly smaller than expected, it was still one of the best Japanese rooms I've experienced at this price range. The service was exceptional, with extremely kind and attentive staff who went out of their way to assist us during check-in, even with English-speaking support. The location was simply idyllic, situated along the picturesque Ishikari river, and conveniently close to the Kurodake rope way and Sounkyo mall. The dining experience, although not perfect, provided good enough options, especially if you prefer non-Western buffets.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant, with spacious and comfortable rooms offering a traditional style. While the rooms had a distinct smell of stale cigarette smoke, the views of the river and mountain were lovely. However, rooms at the front faced the hill and street. The service was a mix of very nice gestures like preparing the bed when we were out but also some rude behavior due to the staff not being proficient in Japanese service industry norms. The location was convenient within the Sounkyo Gorge area, close to the ropeway and with access to an onsen resort via a shuttle bus. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with a variety of selections but unexpectedly poor quality and limited variety of food. Overall, the facilities were adequate, providing table tennis and air hockey, along with buffet dinner and breakfast options.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and well heated, offering a view of the river and the mountain, but they were a bit small compared to other onsen hotels. The service was helpful with good English assistance, although some staff members were not well-versed in English. The location was convenient, close to the city and within the beautiful Sounkyo Gorge area. The dining experience went beyond my expectations with delightful dishes, although the area around the hotel lacked variety for dining options.
I had a lovely stay at this hotel with its clean and comfortable rooms and incredibly friendly staff. The location is superb, close to the beautiful Ishikari river and key attractions like the Kurodake rope way. While the dining experience was generally good, it had some limitations. The facilities were well-kept, offering a pleasant stay overall.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and comfortable with a traditional style, equipped with a private bathtub and 'washlet'-type toilet, offering a nice view of the forest. The service was helpful during check-in, but there were slight language barriers and some rude behavior. The location was idyllic, right on the banks of the Ishikari river, and close to attractions like the Kurodake rope way and Sounkyo mall. The dining experience was a mix where the buffet was expectedly good but lacked variety. The facilities were decent overall.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The rooms were large and clean, offering a nice view of the river and mountain. However, they did show signs of wear and tear. The service was top-notch, with staff going the extra mile to make me feel welcome. The location was convenient, close to the ropeway and within the Sounkyo Gorge area. Dining was fantastic with fresh sashimi and Japanese dishes, though it could have been slightly better in terms of food freshness. Overall, a great value for money experience.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of great views and some room issues. The rooms facing the river and mountain were lovely, while those in the front with a hill view were a bit worn and had a lingering smell of cigarettes from the past. Despite this, the rooms were spacious, very comfy, and kept clean.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms with a clean atmosphere and modern amenities, yet the presence of a flight of stairs for luggage can be inconvenient. The spacious rooms feature a 'washlet'-type toilet and a pleasant view of the forest, but the small bathroom may feel limiting. The 'coffee settee' area adds a nice touch to the room.
