전국 × 웰컴 라운지에서 쉴 수 있는 숙소온천・목욕 평가가 높은호텔·료칸 - 86페이지

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.

The unit bath was a bit dated, but I had a comfortable stay. I had plans in Ginza the following week, so I booked another Hotel in the same group with confidence.

We stayed as a family of three. From check-in onward, the explanations and guidance were excellent, and the service was wonderful. We planned to use the parking lot, but we were told it was not available after check-out, and they kindly directed us to a nearby Chinatown parking lot. The breakfast buffet had a wide variety of options, and there were welcome drinks and alcohol as well—everything was thoughtfully provided. It’s a Hotel we would like to stay at again if we have the chance. Thank you very much.

The bath was great.

Breakfast ingredients are served in small side dishes, so you can enjoy a variety of items in just the right portions.

I stayed in a Deluxe Twin Room. The view was great, and the Room was spacious, which I really liked! There is one large public Onsen bath and one semi-open-air bath. They are not very big, but they warmed me up well. 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.

The Room we stayed in was very spacious (160 m²), and I felt it would have been even better value if we had stayed with a larger group. That said, for a Room with an Onsen and a washing area, I think the price was on the reasonable side. Although it did feel like there were not many staff members, they did everything they could to take good care of us, and we are truly grateful. Thank you for your hospitality.

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 for two nights for my wife’s birthday trip. Breakfast on the club floor was calm and relaxing, which we really enjoyed. It would have been even better with a slightly wider selection. The Room was on the top floor as requested, and the night view from the Room was breathtaking. The Room was clean, very spacious, and comfortable. The only small disappointment was that there was no body towel among the amenities. All staff were very polite, and in particular, the trainee female staff member at the front desk provided outstanding service. Even though it was a busy time at reception, when I asked to borrow a hair iron she said she would check availability later. Since we were about to go out, I asked her to call me if one became available; she agreed and called back shortly after, and we were able to borrow one without any issues. Thank you for your courteous help throughout—without showing any displeasure at all. Thanks to her, my wife was truly delighted as well. I regret that I wasn’t able to thank her properly in person. When we visit Sapporo again, we will definitely stay here again. Thank you very much.

I arrived about an hour early and asked if you could store my luggage, but you prepared my Room right away—and even upgraded me since there was availability. The Room was clean, I could enjoy tea in the lobby, and I was able to relax in the bath with bath salts. All the staff were friendly and welcoming with great smiles—perfect service. It’s also close to the market, and Kenrokuen Garden is about a 20-minute walk away, making for a pleasant stroll. Thank you very much.

What I liked 1. The complimentary drinks on arrival—draft beer was excellent. The oden was also great. You don’t find this at other places. 2. The shampoo bar in the Onsen area—this was a favorite and not something other places offer. 3. It was great that the games were free of charge. 4. We enjoyed table tennis, and we really appreciated that it was free of charge. Request for improvement Since we stayed in Aoi-kan, I understand that the building is older, but I did notice an odor in the corridors and in our Room. My daughter also said the corridor smell made it feel a bit spooky, which was disappointing. These days, scent is important—for example, Lexus dealerships have a very pleasant fragrance inside—so I would appreciate it if you could install a fragrance diffuser or similar device in the corridors. That said, thank you very much for a satisfying stay.

I was glad that the toilet and bath were separate. I also appreciated being moved to the ladies’ room. I had a comfortable stay.

I chose this Accommodation because I wanted to relax in a bath with an ocean view, and it offers ocean-view rooms with private open-air baths. I later realized it was featured in the Michelin Guide (Tokai edition). There are many baths throughout the Accommodation—on the rooftop, on the 5th floor, two on the 3rd floor, and one on the 2nd floor—but unfortunately the 2nd-floor bath was closed on the day of my stay. The in-room open-air bath had plenty of hot water and a great view, and I enjoyed it very much. The 5th-floor bath is a reservable private bath in 25-minute slots, so it felt a bit rushed. On the 3rd floor, if it’s available you can lock it and use it privately; I used only one of them, and its semi-open-air style was best suited for washing up. I used the rooftop open-air bath after dinner—the gradient of colors in the sky was stunning, and I could even see an evening star, making for a truly beautiful experience; however... because there is nothing to block the wind on the rooftop, I felt very cold even during the short walk to the tub. You may want to choose your season if you want to fully enjoy it. The staff were cheerful and kind. I booked a Plan with breakfast and dinner; both meals were delicious and felt like just the right amount. Perhaps because everything paired well with alcohol, I got thirsty at night and drank water several times (I appreciated that cold water was provided in a pot in my room). The bedding was high quality and I slept well. Overall satisfaction was high—an Accommodation that made me want to return. One disappointing point—also mentioned by others—was that there were many marks on the tatami mats that looked like they came from dragging tables or other furniture around. Also as others have noted, there were some areas where cleaning seemed insufficient: higher spots and exterior sides of window frames looked like they hadn’t been wiped for quite some time. What bothered me most this time was that weeding around the open-air bath area hadn’t been done at all. It seems like it could be finished within an hour—or handled with weed killer—but since there don’t seem to be many young people locally and older staff appear to be running things mainly themselves, this may be easier said than done. Photos from when Game 16 of Ryuo Title Match (Season 16) was held here are displayed inside; you can see younger versions of Morishita Koji? Wait: Actually "森内、羽生" are Yoshiharu Morinouchi? It's "Morinouchi" vs "Habu". Alongside them is also a young Sugimoto Masayuki (8-dan), famous as mentor to Fujii Sota (six titles). Shogi fans—and especially Fujii fans—should definitely take a look.
