"This stay was everything I wanted from an onsen hotel - the convenience of having your own bath, half board meals in the room. この度は温泉と料理と人(特に大野さんには感謝です)、全部癒されました!"
"We stayed in the tatami room on top - a bit difficult due to the staircase, but perfectly nice and quiet.
The place is a hostel, but I cannot really comment on the hostel part. What I can say is that Shinpei is fluent in English and that is a great help, especially as he's a very nice guy. If you want to saty near Dogo Onsen and are on a budget: Very good choice."
"I’m posting this or my son who just stayed there. He said that he almost hesitated because of some of the bad reviews, but after staying there, he didn’t understand why they would have left them. He said it’s a very traditional Japanese place to stay which he appreciated. He is not in Japan to stay in American style hotels. Also, the price cannot be beat. He said he would absolutely stay there again and really appreciated everything about the place."
