สถานีคีอีอิดะ × โรงแรม·เรียวกังที่มีคะแนนความพึงพอใจสูง

While looking for an Accommodation on the way from Ise to the Kumano Kodo, I found this place. As the Reviews said, it was a simple yet very good Accommodation. I enjoyed the instant miso soup at night and in the morning, and the breakfast bento and coffee were also delicious. The staff were very friendly as well.

Stayed as a solo traveler.\nBy chance, I was shown to a spacious Room on the top floor.\nIt was almost too large, and I was thrilled. From the window,\nI could clearly see the neighboring castle ruins (stone walls), which was great.\nBreakfast was delicious as well, and I was very satisfied.\nIf I may mention just one thing, the smoking room on the second floor is far too hot.\nOther than that, everything is perfect. If you don’t smoke, this Accommodation comes highly recommended.

The location is great, with a supermarket, restaurants, convenience stores, and AEON nearby. The bathtub and sink are a bit old, but there were no issues using them. As you’d expect from an older Business Hotel, the air conditioning is strong even on the low setting, so you may want something to wear. You can also go out freely late at night. You need to bring your own detergent, but it’s very helpful that the washing machine and dryer are free to use anytime. The breakfast buffet has a limited selection. There were no unpleasant odors, and I think it’s a good Hotel. If you answer the questionnaire, you receive a ballpoint pen.

I stayed here the day before the Nachi Taisha Fire Festival. I had seen in Reviews that the Room was small, so I put up with it. The front desk staff were kind. The nearby izakaya they recommended was delicious, and there’s also a convenience store close by. There were as many as four EV chargers, and they were fast enough to reach a full charge by morning. The freezer compartment in the refrigerator was very powerful, and I was glad that my ice packs and neck cooler froze perfectly overnight. If it hadn’t been so hot, it would have been an even more enjoyable trip. Next time, I’d like to stay on the day of the Fire Festival.

I stayed with breakfast and dinner included, and was able to stay at a reasonable price as a stopover during my trip. I was satisfied with the meals as well. The amenities were the bare essentials, which was enough. I rated the bath 4 stars only because it was a unit bath with the toilet, but there were no particular issues. I brought my own drinks, but before check-in there were tea bags and coffee available for use with the in-room kettle. I ended up having about four cups in one night by myself, so when they told me at reception to “help yourself,” I was tired and it made me really happy! The staff member who assisted at dinner served us with a warm smile, which made me feel relaxed. For checkout, you return the card key by putting it into a box system—very smooth for business travelers. Since I’m not used to staying overnight often, I did say thank you, but I found myself thinking how modern (or maybe it’s always been this way?) it is. Thank you very much.

Enjoy a comfortable stay with exclusive use of the entire house. An AEON store is next door, making it convenient for shopping, though the AEON grounds are large, so we recommend going by bicycle. Dinner at the neighboring sushi restaurant (owner-operated) is highly recommended—the fresh tuna is exceptional and we really enjoyed it.

The building is new and generally clean, and the Room is larger than a typical business hotel. However, there is some sense of light construction, as footsteps in the corridors and on the stairs echo quite a bit. The bath is not very large, but it’s not an issue unless it’s crowded. The Onsen water has a slightly slippery feel. What concerned me was the parking. It is shared by overnight guests and day-use Onsen visitors. There are only four concrete spaces right in front, and they are not exclusively for guests. (There were cones marked “Reserved,” but if that’s how it works, I would have liked to be informed in advance.) There is also parking across the road, but it is gravel, so I had no choice but to park there. Guests are far more likely to have more luggage, so I would like guest parking to be prioritized closer to the entrance or on concrete spaces. Since this place is new, it may still be in a trial-and-error phase, but I think a bit more consideration like this is needed. Given the location, there will likely be many touring motorcyclists as well, so it would be good to consider dedicated motorcycle parking. With motorcycles—especially on slopes or uneven ground—gravel makes stable parking difficult; if you provide motorcycle spaces, they should be on flat concrete to avoid problems if a bike tips over.
