Around × Highly rated for dining at Hotel·Ryokan

This was my first time staying here. All the staff—at reception, breakfast, on the phone, and likely housekeeping as well—were very kind and helpful. Once I entered the Room, I couldn’t hear any outside noise at all and was able to rest comfortably. I travel often, and many Hotels have at least one disappointing point, but everything here was excellent!! I would definitely stay again!

I’ve stayed at Dormy Inn in Nagano and Sendai, and I really liked the large public bath. I’d love to stay at other Dormy Inn locations again.

This was our second stay. Last time, I came with my daughter, and the French dinner was so outstanding that I knew we had to return someday. That wish came true, and this time I was able to bring my two sons. Since it was my younger son’s birthday, I ordered a cake through the Hotel website and they kindly prepared it for us. The food is, of course, top-class—both dinner and breakfast are highly recommended. The Onsen was also wonderful, with silky-smooth water. We would love to visit for a third time. Thank you very much to all the staff.

I’ve stayed here many times. This time, three adults stayed, and the Room was spacious and very clean. I’m somewhat sensitive to smells, but I was able to use the pillows and towels without any concern. The towels were pure white, fluffy, and felt great. The amenities were also much higher quality than at other Hotels I’ve stayed at recently, which made me very happy. My favorite thing about this Hotel is the breakfast buffet. I look forward to it every time, and compared with my stay in spring, there was an even wider selection of delicious Akita specialties this time—I’m disappointed I couldn’t try everything. The hospitality of the person who makes the rice balls is wonderful every time, and it always moves me. I’m planning to stay again next month, so I’m really looking forward to it.

The Hotel is in a great location, and the Room was very spacious, making our stay comfortable. Akita Station is also nearby, and the Akita Citizen’s Market, where you can shop, is just a short walk away, which made our stay enjoyable. If we have the opportunity, we would definitely like to stay at this Hotel again.

Since I always end up going to Hokkaido, this was my first stay in Akita. I chose this Hotel because it’s close to the station for riding the Gono Line. Unfortunately, heavy rain caused the Gono Line to be suspended that day, but I’m truly glad I stayed here. All the staff were pleasant and attentive, with just the right sense of distance. The lounge had a very relaxing atmosphere, and both tea time and cocktail time were extremely satisfying. There were about 10 kinds of Akita local sake, and they mentioned that their recommendations keep increasing over time. They also offered shochu, draft beer, bottled beer, sparkling wine, wine, and more. Just as other Reviews said before my trip, everything was delicious—marinated fresh fish, chilled pork shabu-shabu, iburigakko with cheese, warm chicken dishes and fish dishes. A lady next to me said she has stayed here many times. It’s close to the station and you can get there without getting wet in the rain. I arrived at 1:00 p.m. planning only to leave my luggage, but they told me my Room was ready so I could check in early. After strolling around Kubota Castle Ruins and the park right in front of the Hotel, I went back to the station and bought a cute Akita dog T-shirt and tote bag for my grandchild. Breakfast also featured a lineup full of Akita specialties—kiritanpo and onigiri where you can choose both rice type and fillings—so it had been a while since I felt completely full from breakfast. There were still items I didn’t get to try yet, so I’ll be back again—and next time I’ll ride the Gono Line.

We stayed here with our daughters during summer vacation. Despite the reasonable price, the hospitality was outstanding. Dinner was served in a private room so we could relax, and the large public bath was clean and truly soothing. Breakfast was a buffet, and everything we tried was delicious—such a fun experience. This is an Accommodation that makes you want to come back regularly to unwind.

For our stay, we choose a Hotel that offers a non-smoking triple Room. Even when listed as “triple,” many Rooms use an extra bed, but at this Hotel: (1) all beds were the same type, and (2) the Room had two air conditioners. There was an air conditioner by the beds, a partition door for the sleeping area, and the lighting included a night-light mode, so we were able to sleep well. When staying overnight, I often notice the lighting at bedtime, and the lighting here was easy to use. Breakfast was a compact buffet that was easy to serve yourself from, with a good variety of options. My family also liked it. We would like to stay again.

As others have mentioned, this is by no means a new hotel, but it was very clean and well maintained. The staff were also kind and helpful. If I have the chance to visit Yurihonjo again, I would definitely like to stay here. Thank you very much.

Since my femur fracture, we’ve been staying in a Room with an open-air bath, and we’re completely satisfied with the meals, the Room, and the bath. The staff are wonderful as well, so we keep coming back. It’s a bit far away, but it’s our couple’s motto: “For birthdays, we come here.”

The rate was so affordable that I even worried whether I had booked the right place—it was such a clean Hotel. Thank you very much.

I was able to stay at a very reasonable price. I also stayed on June 26 with a breakfast-included Plan, but it ended up being No Meals Included; this time it was ¥4,000 cheaper than then. The Room had a separate bath and toilet. I checked in at 3:00 PM and was able to relax until 10:30 AM. Since I knew the area from my previous stay, I had breakfast at Akita Citizens’ Market and then headed to my next destination.

Stayed for 2 nights. Despite a significant delay in check-in due to transportation issues, the staff provided courteous assistance. It rained during the stay, but umbrellas were available for borrowing. The breakfast and lounge area was excellent. The design was appealing, there were books available, and the daily-changing breakfast buffet offered a good variety of dishes, making it highly satisfactory.

This is a wonderful Accommodation that blends beautifully into Kakunodate’s townscape. The staff were very kind and helped us in many situations throughout our stay. Thanks to them, we had a memorable and enjoyable trip. We would love to visit again. Thank you very much.

In conclusion, the value for the price was outstanding. The Room was clean and spacious, and we also appreciated the table and chairs on the balcony. We were amazed by the Onsen water quality. We never expected such a strong sulfur scent from an Onsen in this area! The private open-air bath in the Room had a ceramic tub, and it was wonderful to soak comfortably with our legs stretched out. It was so good that we used it many times! We felt the upper slat of the privacy screen could be removed without any issue. It would make a big difference in how open it feels. The food also surprised us. Since we chose a standard Plan, we honestly didn’t expect that much, but there were many local ingredients and thoughtful touches—and above all, everything was seasoned beautifully and tasted excellent. We felt the head chef must be truly exceptional. We’re very interested in the chef’s choice course! All of the staff were kind as well. It was so great that we went ahead and made another Reservation for one month later.

The Onsen was excellent. Thanks to the Onsen, I slept very well. Thank you very much.

We stayed here a year ago, and my mother loved it, so we came back again this year. The Room was thoroughly cleaned, and we had a very comfortable stay. At dinner, the oyster clear soup had an elegant flavor. Overall, the food was delicious and satisfying, but we couldn’t resist ordering Yokote yakisoba to share as an extra. The late-night noodles were also tasty and easy to finish. For breakfast this year they served Sakihokore rice again—it was so good that everyone went back for seconds and finished everything. We realized this Plan was the same as last year, but we were completely satisfied. I’m not sure if we’ll be able to bring our elderly family members next year, but if we have the chance, we’d love to stay again.

It was a comfortable Accommodation that could easily cost three times as much in Tokyo.

I stayed for two nights for my mother's memorial service. Having used several accommodations in southern Akita Prefecture before and often being disappointed, I was hesitant to book a business hotel this time as well. However, due to the circumstances, I reluctantly made a reservation here after much searching. I had sent my luggage in advance via courier and requested it be placed in the room due to its weight. At the front desk, the staff's friendly and non-formal attitude provided a sense of reassurance. Upon checking into the room, I found it slightly spacious for a twin room in a business hotel. While there was some age to it, it was clean and comfortable enough for my stay. One minor inconvenience was that the room key was not automatic; you had to manually lock it when leaving (this could use improvement). Although there was an en-suite bath in the room, I opted for their public bath with artificial onsen water—it was quite relaxing! However, there were only five washing stations which felt cramped at times as soap or water from neighboring users would occasionally splash over. The women's section reportedly had just two washing stations, leading to wait times during use. The meals were surprisingly good—not your typical business hotel fare of rice balls and mediocre bread but proper dishes that changed daily even during multiple night stays! This variety kept things interesting and enjoyable throughout. To be honest, I initially expected this place to be like any other business hotel: small rooms with single beds crammed together and uninspired meals—but they completely exceeded my expectations. Since I'll need accommodations every one or two years when visiting this area (though there's no family home left), I've decided without hesitation that I'll choose this hotel again next time!

I’d been vaguely avoiding this place because the exterior looks a bit old, but when I stayed for the first time it was surprisingly comfortable. Some parts of the Facility and layout do feel dated, but amenities and loan items are well stocked, and everything is kept clean, so I had a very pleasant stay. The signage around the property is also easy to understand. I was also happy there was a water dispenser. The front desk staff were good as well—helpful without being overbearing. Since there’s no written note of your Room number (maybe because it’s prepaid?), you might want to take a photo with your phone so you don’t forget it when leaving your key at the desk.
