The location was very close to the train station and the food was good, they even had sashimi for breakfast! At this hotel, my husband said this was the best sleep he had. The bed and pillows were comfortable.
Maike from Germany (10 November 2024)
Room provided everything I needed.
Breakfast offered a variety of japanese and eastern food and was delicious.
All staff members were so kind and bravely endured my poor japanese communication skills.
Thank you!

We enjoyed the buffet Japanese food. There was a great variety of dishes. The popsicle after the hot bath at the onsen was amazing.
What could be improved: This is our second time there and if I come again I would love to stay there again.

convenient location, clean, quiet. room is small but that is expected in this part of the world. Having a hot bath is a plus. Breakfast is excellent!
What could be improved: The bath area is on the small side
Nonglak from Thailand (27 January 2024)
Clean room with nice view.
What could be improved: Hotspring is opened too late in the morning, should be opened at 5 am.
