Lugnt och bekvämt

Ett stort rymligt rum med två futonsängar. Passar ett par perfekt då rummet blev rymligt. Härligt ljusinsläpp, enkelt - precis som vad vi var ute efter. Fina och bekväma yakatas som vi gick ner till hotellets onsen. Onsen var väldigt bra, könsseparerat och lugnt. Bastu, tre varma källor och en kall. Frukosten testade vi inte, verkade väldigt enkel.

Warning- beware of this hotel.

I have used Hotels.com for travels in Vietnam, Greece, Turkey, England , Ireland and Australia over the last few years and this is the first time that I feel that I have been cheated. The description and photos of the rooms are not just inaccurate but are a total and deliberate misrepresentation. Noting about the rooms was truthful and the hotel was in a state of disrepair, from cracked windows, chipped walls and a strong smell of smoke throughout the building. Although we had booked and paid for 3 days, we cut our losses and left after the first night. ( we would not have stayed even the first night but there was no accommodation to be had near bye. If you are considering this hotel look carefully at the photos and as yourself why they are miscoloured and unclear. This alone should be enough to warn you. Do not stay here.I would also love to know where the glowing reviews came from.

La chambre etait spacieuse. Nous avons bien apprecié la section salon. Le tapis et les murs etaient tâchés. Il y avait toutefois une odeur d’humidité très désagréable et dérangeante. La douillet est fantastique, mais l’oreiller trop petit. Le personnel est très sympathique. Un micro-onde est disponible dans l’espace commun. Le onsen est tres sale et mal entretenu. C’est bien dommage compte tenu qu’il est grand et possède plusieurs bains différents. L’hôtel offre sans frais un transport au parc des singes que nous avons grandement apprécié.
