This was my first time having breakfast here, and I was extremely satisfied—easily one of the best breakfasts among the Hotels I’ve stayed at!! I’m happy to have found such a delicious breakfast again after a long time. The service is excellent, making it a comfortable and reassuring Hotel to stay at. It’s also conveniently close to the station, and easy to reach from the Shinkansen gates without getting lost. In Shin-Osaka, this is my go-to place from now on! Thank you again, and I look forward to staying with you next time.

It was a clean and pleasant room.

I was in Fukuoka with my daughters, and each of us had our own plans. We searched for a place where the three of us could stay together, with free parking and reasonable rates, and decided on Vessel Fukuoka Kaizuka. We really appreciated their hospitality. My daughters were happy and said it was the best Business Hotel they’ve stayed at so far. The Room was clean. Plenty of power outlets. A separate washbasin area apart from the bath/toilet. You can see outside through the window. A good selection of amenities. Two trash bins. Shoes-off indoors. They were really excited about all of that.

The meals, the Room’s open-air bath, and the service were all excellent. We were able to fully enjoy a special getaway and relax at our own pace. We would love to visit again!

I stayed here for the first time last year and loved it, so I chose this Hotel again this year when I came to Shizuoka for a live show. It’s very reasonably priced, but the staff are polite and kind, and the amenities and drink service are a huge help for someone traveling light. I didn’t have much time to use all the services again this year, but I was happy that there were still hitsumabushi rice balls available when I returned to the Hotel. Enjoying local food is one of the best parts of traveling! I’ll definitely stay here again when I visit Shizuoka.

I was able to relax in a renovated traditional house while enjoying the lush garden view. The location is also close to the “Udatsu Townscape,” and even after the 10:00 check-out, you can leave your car parked until 12:00, which made it easy to look around. Breakfast is simple—rice with a few side dishes—but it also included local pickles, which was good. Please note that the Room has only a shower, and the private bath is available only until 20:00, so if you arrive in the evening you may not be able to use the bath.

The parking lot was spacious, which made me feel at ease. Check-in was easy, and the Room felt clean. I stayed for a Multiple Night Stay, and had no particular complaints about the Hotel—I enjoyed a comfortable stay.

A prior Review mentioned that there were many foreign staff, and it felt like most of the staff were non-Japanese. However, their Japanese was very good and the service was fine, so it didn’t bother me. Amenities are placed in the lobby and you take what you need yourself. They had plenty, including toner, makeup remover, shampoo, etc. You can drink coffee and tea for free at the cafe corner, which was a nice service. The meals were mainly Japanese cuisine and were delicious. Personally, I loved the stylish and cute small plates used for the dishes. The bath was pleasant too, but I felt there weren’t enough hair dryers. Especially for women who need more time to dry their hair, I ended up thinking I’d have to wait my turn… and that it might be faster to go back to my Room with wet hair and dry it there. The view from the Room was great and was the best part. The mountains and river looked beautiful—wonderful scenery.

Pros: - It’s a reasonably priced Hotel, but perhaps because it’s part of the Banyan Tree chain, the service felt comparable to a high-end Hotel. Even though I stayed only one night, the front desk staff remembered my name, and every staff member was brisk and professional—very pleasant. When I asked after checkout whether they could keep some food refrigerated while storing my luggage, they kindly agreed. - A shower-only setup may be a matter of preference, but since it was midsummer it was perfectly comfortable. If anything, it made the Room feel more spacious. - The small raised tatami area is also relaxing. I would have preferred floor cushions (zabuton) over regular cushions, but that may be intended for international guests. Cons: (all minor “if I had to say” points—not deal-breakers) - The nearest station is Sanjo Keihan, so I wouldn’t say access to all of Kyoto is ideal. That said, the exit is right nearby, so it’s a good location if you plan to visit the surrounding area. - The in-Room TV remote has buttons for Netflix and similar services, but the TV isn’t connected to the internet so you can’t use them—disappointing. - This is common in Ryokan-style properties, but the ceramic washbasin has a rough texture; when washing your face, if your fingers brush against it, it can sting a little. - I used the spa; since it seems to be regular guest Rooms converted into treatment spaces and you step out into a guest-room corridor from reception first, it may feel slightly less “special.” The treatment itself was very good.

With the grand opening, both the Hotel and our Room were very clean, and we had a comfortable stay. Breakfast was delicious—especially the chilled onion and chicken shabu-shabu. It would have been even better with yogurt. All of the staff were very kind and prepared connecting Rooms next to each other, which we truly appreciated for our family trip. I highly recommend this Hotel for families. Thank you very much.

Great value for money, directly connected to the station, and I was very satisfied with the clean interior and Room!! However, I couldn’t help but be concerned that the air conditioning is centrally controlled throughout the building… It was very hot after taking a bath, and while staying in the Room it felt a bit chilly at times (June). Other than that, the service was very pleasant, and since it’s on a high floor the view was great—I had a comfortable stay! I’d like to stay again!

The welcome lemon water was delicious. Being able to enjoy it for free anytime was wonderful. The staff greeted us cheerfully, which left a great impression. The shower curtain rail wasn’t straight but curved outward, so the bathroom felt more spacious. It may be a small detail, but I really appreciated it.

I came to relax during my summer vacation and enjoy a delicious breakfast. From check-in, the staff were attentive and guided me to my Room with kind, gentle communication. I chose a Room with a king-size bed. With its bright wood-toned design, it was spacious and comfortable for two people. I enjoyed watching a maiko dance, taking photos together, and having welcome drinks. The location is ideal for cultural sightseeing, with attractions such as Sanjusangendo Temple and the Kyoto National Museum nearby. The breakfast I had been looking forward to was unique: the main dish is cooked to order, while side dishes are served buffet-style. I ordered salmon Eggs Benedict, French toast, and an omelet as main dishes—all were truly delicious. It made for a wonderful breakfast time. Sanjusangendo Temple is right next door, so I visited immediately after breakfast. I also made use of the benefits of my IKYU Diamond membership, which helped make it a great summer vacation. I heard the property will be closing soon due to rebuilding plans—such a shame. If I have the chance, I would love to stay again.

We arrived by car. Before check-in, we went to confirm the parking, and the front desk staff kindly advised us that if we planned to take the car out after checking in, the affiliated parking lot would be best, but if not, a nearby coin-operated parking lot might be cheaper. Thanks to that advice, we were able to keep our parking fee low. Thank you very much. The drink service and complimentary breakfast also had a great selection and were delicious. The special dessert financier was especially tasty. We were also happy they had apples. The large public bath operates on a rotating schedule, and when it was the men’s time slot, there seemed to be too few washing stations. It looked like someone entered without washing first, which he found unpleasant. (This is not a complaint about the Hotel—more of an individual issue—but it would be nice if guests could be mindful.) Since there were three of us and we had a lot of luggage, it would have been even better if there had been a simple luggage rack or stand. All of the staff were very pleasant and helpful. Thank you for taking care of us.

The private open-air bath was very relaxing. Dinner was delicious, featuring many Oita specialties. There was a wide variety at the breakfast buffet, and I ended up eating too much. I also enjoyed the all-you-can-drink shochu. The service was excellent as well—the front desk staff member, the staff member refilling the shochu, and the staff member from overseas were all very kind and helpful, making our stay truly comfortable. Thank you very much.

I finally had the chance to stay at this long-awaited hotel. The architecture is unique compared to other accommodations, and the atmosphere at night is especially wonderful, making me feel as if I were on an overseas trip. The room was spacious enough with a large sofa and terrace, allowing for a relaxing stay. I chose a dinner-included plan, which was reasonably priced and absolutely delicious. The live singing and performances added a special touch, reflecting the hotel's care for its guests and creating a truly memorable experience. Although it was slightly disappointing that there was no complimentary water in the room, the tea service was well-prepared. This has become one of my favorite accommodations where I definitely want to stay again. The staff were all very pleasant and accommodating. Thank you for such a wonderful time!

Day 4 with the Seishun 18 Ticket. With heavy luggage and a tired body, I arrived at Nishikawaguchi Station. After passing the police box and a convenience store, I quickly reached COCO STAY Nishikawaguchi Ekimae—about a 1–2 minute walk from the station. Despite the staff’s polite explanation at reception, I headed straight for the bath. A generous tub of hot water was waiting for me. The moment I soaked in it, it felt like heaven, and all of today’s fatigue melted away as if it had never been there. It was a great Hotel.

We stayed here to celebrate a family member’s birthday. The dining staff provided outstanding service and even prepared a cake for dessert, which made the celebration a success. It became an irreplaceable family memory. Thank you very much.

We stayed with our 4-year-old daughter for my husband’s birthday. After making a Reservation, they kindly confirmed by phone and accommodated our last-minute request for a birthday plate as much as possible. Both the staff on the phone and the team on site were all warm and attentive. There were plenty of kid-friendly activities, such as playing in the river behind the property and fireworks at night, which made it a very satisfying trip. They were also very kind to our child, and she says she wants to come again.

I stay here every time I visit Okinawa. The lounge is our favorite spot, so we always relax and spend time there. This time, the previous guest’s perfume scent bothered us, so we requested to move to a different Room. Sorry for the inconvenience.
