Great location and service
Reviewed By JaimeT22Located just a few steps outside the north exit of Izumoshi station. We deposited our luggages there since we were early and they were already placed in our room when we came back later to check in. Free coffee was provided 24 hrs in the lobby. On the 11th floor was the outdoor and indoor Onsen. Free beer and snacks was provided one glass per guest on the 11th floor in the evening. There was also free ramen provided from 9.30pm onwards. Washer was free to use but dryer cost 100 yen for 20mins. If you chose not to have housekeeping for a day, u get their special brand of instant cup noodles. Overall, v happy with my stay. Hotel was also v new and modern. Enjoyed my 2 nights stay here. Highly recommended!

Excellent service
Reviewed By kwan3452From the moment we arrived till we departed, excellent service from all the staff was experienced. A relaxed check in comfort accompanied by drinks. The rooms had so many facilities not seen in most hotels, e.g. the face wash, shaving foam and aftershave in addition to moisturiser and lotions for ladies. Complimentary Snacks & teabags were refreshed daily. The best experience was the keseki dinners we enjoyed on both nights. Besides the fresh ingredients, the two serving staff went out of their way to translate the ingredients so that we could understand. I hope that hotel management will convey the appreciation from all of us staying in 301-304. I attached a photo.

Overnight stay as part of a cultural tour of Japan
Reviewed By Chris MThe stay here was part of a 2 day trip away from my main base in Kyoto. The hotel was clean and airy. I’m not sure if smoking was allowed in the hotel, but there was a subtle tobacco odour in the public areas. The room was clean, and basic toiletries were available in the compact bath/shower room. The evening meal was interesting and I tried what I think was a traditional set meal, which gave lots of little tasters of the local Japanese cuisine. Breakfast was also traditional local cuisine. There was the the opportunity to have a European type of breakfast, if that is what you would prefer to eat, in amongst the Japanese dishes that were on offer.

Basic, lots of parking
Reviewed By ArlyjjThe rooms are spacious and clean but not very brightly lit. The decor is basic but I liked that the beds were not attached to the floor as I have seen in other inexpensive business hotels because we were able to push the bed against the wall so that our toddler couldn't roll off. There is sento/onsen nearby.

terrible
Reviewed By harigataI've never stayed such a terrible hotel ever. As I heard that this is a No1 hotel in Tsuwano,I chose this hotel. The room was very old, small, damp and dirty. I saw several cockroaches in my room and I got a tick bite there. The furniture in the room was so old and spooky. It was not worth the price, 9800JPN! Too expensive! It was said that this hotel had big bath with onsen. But the water smelled a kind of chlorine. I advice not to stay this hotel. 誰が評価をしたのか、こちらが津和野のホテルランキングで１位となっていたので選びました。 しかし部屋は、古く、汚い、湿っぽく、古めかしい家具が置かれています。 履いてきた靴は玄関の入口に置かれ修学旅行のような感じです。 温泉は全く良いのか分からず、レジオネラ対策なのか塩素の匂いがしました。 水も出てませんでしたし循環式なのでしょう。 津和野では他にホテルがないせいいか、強気な価格でお値段には全く見合ってないと思いました。 ドアにはチェーンも内鍵もなく不用心です。 津和野で宿泊するなら古民家１軒貸しがいいようです。

Super fun - super Japanese - super food!
Reviewed By OutdoorsAdventurerClassic Japanese-oriented mountain ryokan. We were the only foreigners, so it was a fun immersion (literally as well as figuratively). Waaaaay more fun that ryokan aimed at foreigners. They do have a laminated English sheet which explains where things are, opening hours and such. If you haven’t been to an onsen before, familiarize yourself with the routine online first. The baths are single gender, both indoor and outdoor. I suspect it may not be a natural spring, but it is nice. Not fancy. The food was great - 5 little appetizers, generous portion of 4 kinds of sashimi, a fun hotpot or fish and veggies, tempura, a DIY grill of beef and veggies, lots of pickles, rice, soup, mochi. The most varied ryokan meal we had in Japan.
