"This is a hard review to leave as I think maybe this stay was not our style. The futons on the floor are so uncomfortable that I instantly regretted booking a second night - my husband and I got no rest at this hotel and woke up extremely sore. The food was another issue - people rave on these reviews how great the food was and it was horrible they also give you way too much that I cannot imagine how much waste this place has each day. We found a good pizza restaurant downtown which was exactly what we needed to take a break from the food. The property is also a bit dated and needs TLC. We did rent the bikes for a day to go to the caves - that was really fun. The walk to the town is super short but yet they insist on driving you - which we declined every time. The onsen was lovely however we apparently picked family weekend which made this “relaxing stay” even worse. Kids running up and down hallways. Throwing buckets in the onsen and being loud. I couldn’t believe how many kids were there and it was like they were in control - no one disciplining the bad behavior. Overall this stay is not at all worth the cost. It was by far the most expensive stay on our trip and the most disappointing. I loved Kinosaki onsen but cannot recommend this stay"
"The room was spacious but placement of putting the luggage’s was difficult because of the design of the room. Staff was nice enough to send a message that I had left my phone charger and was kind enough to send it to my next hotel in Osaka, of course with a small fee. The onsen in the hotel was nice that I could use it for myself for 45 min. The pass from the hotel allowed us to use other nearby onsens as well."
"Ryokan with half board. Very attentive and helpful staff. Homely and comfortable room. Dinner and breakfast were excellent. Had passes to the public onsens which was a bonus. Located centrally short walk from the station and onsens. Very relaxing visit."
"A good spot to stay in Kinosaki. The room itself was pretty outdated with an old tv - I really enjoy when hotel TV's have casting capabilities which this one did not. But the service and meals service was excellent, it's a self-serve buffet style dining which is great if you're a slightly fussy eater like myself. A little disappointed that the room view was blocked by netting for maintenance, which Inwas advised prior to arrival but after booking. I think some form of discount would have been nice for the inconvenience considering I had booked a river view room."
"Luxurious"
"The hotel experience was awesome and the staff could not have been nicer. Beautiful lobby with garden view and appreciated the welcome drink from the bar. The room was spacious with a lovely bathroom. Decoration was truly Japanese, with tatami mats and sliding doors. The room provided appropriate clothing for the onsens…yukata, obi, sandals etc. The onsen was modern, spotless and spacious, with both inside and outdoors areas, the later made of large rocks. The shuttle service to other onsen areas and to and from the train station was an added plus."
"Prix très élevé mais établissement dont le service est impeccable! Repas inclus très "fancy" comprenant des aliments qui ne plaisent pas à tout le monde. On doit aussi s'attendre à dormir sur un matelas par terre, ce qui n'est pas idéal pour les personnes âgées ou celles dont le sommeil est léger."
"Hotel is beautiful and staff are extremely friendly and helpful. We had fantastic dinner and breakfast."
