I had planned to stay here with my dog, but unfortunately, they couldn't come along, so my husband and I stayed by ourselves. However, it was still a great trip, and we had a wonderful time reminiscing about our two dogs and looking at their photos!

First off, the room was really spacious, and the hot spring was excellent. The breakfast had a great variety, and the service was warm and attentive. The hotel's location is fantastic, just a few steps from Yubatake, and there are many restaurants downstairs. The hotel facilities are comprehensive, and transportation is convenient.

This hotel is super close to Yuda, and the area around it is really lively. The hotel itself is a bit older, and the room facilities are just okay. There's a hot spring on the first floor, but they also partner with two other hotels, so you can go soak for free at their newer locations, which is a nice perk.

How did I end up choosing this hotel? The only good thing about it was the location.
I was given room 501, and I could only catch a tiny glimpse of the Yubatake (hot spring field).
Stepping into the hotel felt like being transported back to the Showa era.
The air conditioning barely provided any heat. There was a faint, lingering smell from the toilet. On the first night, I left the bedroom door open and could smell it while trying to sleep. I had to close the door on the second night for it to go away.
Breakfast and dinner were buffet style, with a good variety of options, but they didn't really change much.
Since I came all the way to Kusatsu, next time I'll definitely choose a more decent hotel.

Regarding the room views, we apologize that some rooms may have different views due to room layout, as we have not provided sufficient explanation or consideration for this. Thank you very much for your valuable feedback.

The hotel's location is superb, right in the heart of the onsen town, making everything walkable. I booked a half-board plan, and both dinner and breakfast were quite good, with a wide variety of options. The restaurant staff were also very enthusiastic. The only downside is that the hotel feels a bit old, probably due to being open for a long time, so the facilities are a bit dated.

Response from Property: Thank you so much for staying at our hotel. We are delighted to hear you praised our hotel's "perfect" location for exploring the hot spring town. We also appreciate your satisfaction with the dinner menu, the variety and taste of the dishes, and your compliments on our restaurant staff. This is a great encouragement to all of us. On the other hand, we take your feedback regarding the slightly outdated hotel building very seriously. While a large-scale renovation is unlikely in the short term, we will continue to strive to provide guests with a comfortable stay through cleaning, maintenance, and improved services. Thank you very much for your valuable feedback. We look forward to your next stay at our hotel during your visit to Kusatsu. All of our staff look forward to your next visit.

The hotel facilities are a bit old, but the location is excellent. The front desk even has staff who speak Chinese, and there's a great selection of free yukata to choose from right next to the front desk. Both breakfast and dinner are buffet-style, and the restaurant offers a rich variety of food, including all-you-can-drink draft beer.

Overall OK but the parking lot is far away from hotel (around 7 mins drive) and you need take their shuttle bus to car park with 20 mins-30 mins per bus.
Think clearly to book this hotel if you get there by driving car

We apologize for any inconvenience caused regarding the distance to the parking lot and the shuttle bus travel time. We will use your valuable feedback to improve our guidance methods and services in the future. We will continue to make efforts to make our hotel more comfortable for guests arriving by car.
