It was relatively cheap but the hotel is quite old and dated. The buffet dinner and breakfast is good value for money. Note there is no shuttle bus from bus station to the hotel. The 7 minutes walk is hard if you have heavy luggage.

Nice onsen hotel just beside the Yubatake

This was amazing onsen beside the Yubatake (which is right in front on the hotel) so you are in the middle of the town they have Yukata you can borrow and take wear to walk and take pictures outside too. Breakfast and dinner had a lot of options and was really good. Make sure to Book Hal-Board, it is worth it! They have onsen eggs for breakfast too! The only downside is that it is a bit old and the walls are thin so can be noisy when people talk on the hallway but Overall this was an amazing hotel and will come back again!

Onsen hotel next to Yubatake

I want to start off by saying I had a nice visit, I did the half board option and the food was plentiful and very tasty. Lots of variety, the sushi was not good and their take on Western food isn't great but the Japanese food is awesome. 2 different Onsen areas that alternate gender daily so you can try both. The hotel is old, let's just prepare you for this, really old. It could do with a massive makeover but I doubt it will happen as they are very busy due to the amazing location. If you are Japanese you will find it very run down, I was disappointed on my first day but by the second day I had moved past it. It is old (Showa era) so it was a smoking hotel, the rooms smell like smoke, not much you can do. Staff was very friendly and helpful, free Yukaya rental and a bag to carry stuff, you can pick different colours of Yukaya as well. Right across the street from Yubatake, lots of little shopping spots and short walk to everything, even the open air park Onsen. Watch the show of the traditional cooling, it is neat. Very relaxing trip, better as a romantic trip, not a lot to actually do in town so it forces you to unwind and relax. Short walk from the Kusatsu bus terminal but downhill so if mobility is an issue they provide a free shuttle service. If you want a fancy hotel then this isn't it but it is not expensive and great location.

This hotel is fairly old-fashioned, but that’s what makes it unique. Despite the fairly decent condition of the room and the smell of smoke, it was alright. The con is we have to walk uphill to the bus terminal.

The hotel facilities and rooms are very old. There was a very strong smell of smoke in the room. We had to keep the window open all night even though it was very cold outside (–10°C). There were obvious stains on the tatami mat floor in the room. The staff member who helped us check in was a bit annoying and impolite. I wouldn’t recommend this place for families or group stays.

フロント前の待機場所がリノベーションされていて過ごしやすくなりました。チェックイン前にフロントへ荷物を預け入れして、快適に湯畑散策ができました。部屋は湯畑を眺めることができて、楽しかったです。部屋数が多いので、内装のリノベは今後に期待します。３階がペット同伴の宿泊部屋となっていたので、ペット連れにもおすすめです。同系列宿への湯巡りを2つとも行きたい方は最終受付が20時までなので、注意して動いてください。夕食と朝食のバイキングは種類豊富で地元の野菜や米を利用していて、とても美味しかったです。

良かったところ。食事が美味しかった。普通ビュッフェだと、品数多いがお味は普通ということが多いが、ほとんど全部美味しかった。 非常に良かった。同行の家族にも好評だった。 湯畑から引いているという温泉も、トロリとしたお湯でとても良かった。 湯畑前でロケーションも最高。湯畑に4回行った。 スタッフも親切で、笑顔が良かった。 もう一つだったところ。 全体的に設備が古い。トイレが狭い。なぜか部屋が揺れる。ドアの下部が空いているためか、廊下の音がうるさい。 設備が古いのは仕方ないけれど、あちこちほつれていたり、浴室の天井や壁のカビなどが気になった。清潔感がもう少し。 ロケーションや料理、お湯質など、他のホテルに抜きん出ているところがいくつもあるから、 せめて掃除をしっかりして清潔感に気を付けてもらえれば素晴らしいホテルだと思う。 また泊まりたいと思いますので、それまでに改善されているといいなと期待を込めて！
