BED'n ONSEN HAMMOND - Hammond -

I booked a same-day stay with No Meals Included because I mainly wanted to soak in Zao’s powerful Onsen rather than focus on meals. The system was a bit confusing at first, but it seems like a good setup for guests looking for a therapeutic Onsen stay or those who prefer minimal contact, and I could see the effort to reduce costs. The Room air conditioner is basic, but it worked well enough and I was satisfied. I was also surprised to see some guests cooking for themselves in the kitchen. One thing I noticed is that the in-room slippers are used when going outside the Room; sandals would be preferable for that purpose. I would like to stay here again when I visit Zao.

I’ve stayed with the Takamiya Group before, but I’m a picky eater and don’t eat much.This time I stayed with No Meals Included. Great value for money.The Onsen water quality was excellent, and there was also a sauna and an open-air bath. In the Room, we laid out our own futons, which was nice because we could do it whenever we wanted.I noticed later that there was also a microwave in the lobby.Next time, I’d like to bring a bento and relax at the Onsen.
