가성비 좋은 깨끗한 숙소

1층에 미술관이 있는 숙소입니다. 엘리베이터는 없어 짐이 많을 경우 약간의 수고가 필요합니다. 룸은 매우 넓고 깨끗합니다. 2층은 베란더와 외부 테이블이 별도로 있어 밤하늘 보며 맥주 한잔 하기 좋습니다. 온천은 크지 않고 실내외 탕이 연결되어 있습니다. 전통 료칸의 고즈넉한 맛은 없지만 1박이나 2박정도 지내기 아주 좋고 가성비는 뛰어납니다.

Hotel is located strategically near to shopping street & lake Kinrinko. The breakfast experience is nice. Hotel room is quite decent size for 4 persons & onsen is good too. We opt for the dinner & breakfast package. We are given choice between Yakiniku or Sukiyaki for our dinner and the foods are taste alright. Will revisit again some day.

룸은 깨끗하고 특히 1층온천이 작지만객실이 많지않아서사람은 없으며 온천물이정말 훌륭합니다피부가 잠깐만 해도뽀얀해져요 아침식사는 가격대비 브런치느낌이라고 생각하면될거같네요

긴린코호텔에서 2박

방은 넓고 안락했고 욕장도 소박하고 한적해서 이용하기 좋았으나 호텔 위치가 터미널하고 멀어 많이 걸었고(25분 거리), 다른 호텔 체크인 할 때는 하지않는 여권을 복사하는 것이 몹시 불쾌했습니다. 기대가 제일 컸던 긴 린코 호수를 배경으로 한 조식은 너무 평범했습니다.

值得推薦的日式旅館

非常優雅又舒適的住宿。櫃台人員態度親切，預訂四人日式房間（三個大人一個2歲小孩），房務也替我們把行李提上二樓，房間空間很大，非常適合朋友同行或是家庭旅遊。溫泉雖然不大，但是非常乾淨又舒服。 地點離金麟湖和湯之坪都很近，逛累了還可以回去休息一下，旅館對面就有超商，很方便。 從由布院車站步行約20分鐘，也可搭計程車大約日幣700元。 整體來說非常滿意。

Unpleasure stay

Terrible memory. I paid 600usd for only one night but no bath room in the room and additional payment for using 1st floor sharing bathroom where very small and not special hot spring place. After taking shower they want guest use again used towel next day. Morning breakfast started 9a.m. but have to wait 30munite because of many people. And then they enforced check out until 10a.m. otherwise guest have to pay 1000jpy per person. Is it reasonable? I have not been experienced this kind of rude attitude. Furthermore I paid 600usd per night. Really I don't want to introduce my related persons this hotel. Terrible terrible!!!

Magnifique véritable appartement style traditionnel avec tatamis, futons. Salle de bain et spa au RDC. Thé vert et eau chaude fourni, Yukatas également. A proximité du lac et de la rue principale. On serait bien resté plus longtemps pour profiter du lieu mais calendrier à respecter... Les repas si on veut se font au petit resto traditionnel à côté de même que les petits déjeuners.

Art museum converted into Ryokan

This hotel was converted from an art museum building. As such it has unconventional building structure. Worse, it does not have elevators or passenger lift, so, for visitors who brought along large luggages, then it will be an issue. Location wise it is very near to the Kinrinko lake which is a plus point. The restaurant for breakfast is a French restaurant which is 4min walk away (not within hotel building), but I must say the breakfast quality is commendable.
