Hade en fantastik natt på detta hotell, vacker inredning och mycket trevlig och hjälpsam personal. Kan varmt rekommendera att boka det privata badet med utsikt över vattnet, det är mycket mysigt.
great place to relax and enjoy the onsen. good and helpful staff. far from train station however they do provide shuttle service, you just need to call the hotel to arrange for it. not much around the area for shopping though,
地點都算方便,係京都站搭jr湖西線幾個站就到溫泉站,去到有電話亭,打俾酒店黎接,5分鐘就到,就係一出閘前面車站等,車上有個暖字,好易認,而且基本英文溝通都無問題^^服務人員全部都好nice同有禮貌,無浸私人風呂,但免費既大浴場都好舒服,仲要甘岩無人,好似包左私人風呂甘^^check out 會收返稅,日本浸溫泉都要俾稅,不過都係十幾廿蚊^^房間夠哂我地一行四個人~早餐和晚餐都好豐富!都係傳統日式料理~晚餐唔肯定係咪懷石料理,但都食到好飽,會係獨立和室到食~check in時會叫你簡定晚餐同早餐時間,佢地就會準備好^^食完晚餐已經幫我地鋪好床墊,訓得好舒服^^附近有間便利店,出去前keep返條鑰匙係櫃臺就得~大堂有手信買,值得買,價錢都合理,起碼出面無得買先~最後因爲想見兩隻柴犬,佢地好好甘放左佢地出黎,好可愛^^如果玩耐d就好~~~check out後送返我地去車站^^好滿足,可惜時間唔夠,無係附近行下,下次都會再黎!大贊!
Rooms were traditional and clean. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Not many other facilities other than the baths; but the baths were great.

Fun, trasitional experience
My boyfriend and I very much so enjoyed our stay at this ryokan. There was an initial amount of confusion with the language - only one employee spoke English, and the other employees seemed VERY stressed about the language barrier. For instance, I had gotten an email implying that we were getting dinner as part of our stay (which was not the case), which caused some confusion when we arrived. Additionally, we had to call the inn to get picked up at the train station, which was difficult as I only had an American phone. I also didn't realize that the inclusion of an on-site onsen meant we wouldn't have a shower *in* the room, which was an interesting surprise.
That said, we loved our stay. Certainly not the most comfortable experience, sleeping on the tatami mats, but "comfort" isn't why we wanted to try staying at a Japanese traditional inn. The inn was also a bit run down - definitely in need of a renovation. However, it was a very unique experience and I'm glad we did it. The onsen was so lovely and relaxing - I don't think I've ever felt SO relaxed and chill.
Additionally, the dinner (which we ended up scheduling anyway) and the breakfast (included) were incredible. We had such a cool experience with the traditional shabu shabu in a private restaurant, and the breakfast was full of foods I had never had in my life.
Overall, the inn was a very worthwhile experience.
