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.

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.

湯畑が窓から見えるのは良かったです。 喫煙が部屋で出来るのも良かったです。 部屋で喫煙が出来るのに、最近はIQOSやグローなどを使用する人が多いのか、思ったほど煙草臭はしなかった。 ただ、トイレと洗面所が部屋の奥に有りちょっと使いづらかった。 日本語が堪能な外国人スタッフがチェックイン時の館内説明を含め対応をしてくれましたが、説明のマニュアルが有るのか？とても早口で事務的に感じました。 湯巡りをしたかったけど、チェックインの時に予約をしないと成らなかったのを知らず出来なかった。 多分説明をしてくれたのだと思いますが、 事務的な説明の中に埋もれてしまったのかと思います。 チェックイン客で混雑はして居ましたが、もう少し丁寧な対応をして貰いたかった。 湯畑の目の前に有るので、次回も草津温泉宿泊時は利用したいと思います。
ホテルを出るとすぐに湯畑が有ります。
