Outstanding value for money. Tiny rooms, as you would expect in Japan. However fantastic location with amazing views of Mount Fuji, especially from the wonderful onsen on the 6th floor. Lovely helpful staff and very nice breakfast. Thank you for an exceptional stay. Brett from Australia.

Bus stop not too far from the front entrance. Lake access. Room was clean and staff was friendly. Breakfast and dinner options available. Has a public bath in the top floor. If you have tattoos you have to cover them or use the private bath for 3000 yen.

隣の部屋がドンドンと響いてうるさかった。海外のお客さんが廊下での話し声、騒いでたのか、特に夜〜夜中に響いてうるさい。日本人トイレあるのに子どもを浴室でオシッコさせてた母、マナーを守ってほしい。スタッフの対応はとても良かったです。

Great hotel to stay in. Staff was above and beyond helpful and kind. Overall amazing stay and would return again. I would recommend to have more smoke free options as I dont remember booking a smoking room. And phsyicsl key can make it feel outdated.

禁煙室だったら最高だった！

出張で利用しました。チェックインもスムーズですし、大浴場から望む河口湖はとても綺麗でした。フロントの対応も丁寧ですし、朝食も美味しかったです。ただ、普段タバコをあまり吸わないのですが、他に空いているホテルがなく、喫煙室を選択しました。どうしても部屋についているタバコの匂いが気になってしまいました。
