Nothing in particular. Love the place.

The hotel is located just above a coffee shop and a minute walk from the Kinosaki Train Station. There were 3 of us, and I believe we got a bigger room. The room looked aesthetically pleasing, it was just how I imagined it would be. The bed was somewhat comfortable and it felt like I was actually experiencing Japan culture. Which I love. We stayed in this hotel for 3 nights. Upon arrival, each of us received a basket of goodies; tabi socks, slippers, towel and bath towel. These goodies are mostly used for the onsen. And everyday, you’ll receive a fresh pair of everything. They also provide Yukata for you to wear when you go to onsen. The room: The room has a double bed and extra beds (with additional purchase), two sets of “floor chairs” and a table, fridge, fan (i think), aircond/heater, and a toilet without shower. Since the room has no shower, you will need to shower or bath in one of the available onsens everyday. They also offer free breakfast in the morning. Overall, I loved this place. I wish we could stay here longer!

Basic. Soft beds

Simple accommodations as described. Across the street from the station. Lovely yakata to borrow

Our room unfortunately had the door lock broken that afternoon before our check in, and the staff were very apologetic but were unable to close our door. They had put a barrier in front of our door to help but this meant we slept with the door slightly open. Other than that, it was worth staying at this hotel and we would definitely stay again!

The location was great, right by the train station (2-5min walk). Its bottom floor is the cafe entrance so you enter through there. It is a bit further from the main street where the onsen are, but we didnt mind the walk. They provided a delicious breakfast and there was a foot bath downstairs for guests to use. Staff were really friendly and helped us when we checked in very late. We went to the onsen that night and it was fairly easy to get around.

The included breakfast was appreciated but definitely could have had more variation/been of a better quality

The accommodation was very clean, the location was convenient, and the service was great.

Beds were not in great shape and were pretty worn out.

Excellent location and affordable for the the area--Kinosaki is not a cheap area.

No shower facilities. I must have overlooked it but it’s quite a big turn off for me. Didn’t expect that the lower price was due to this. Had I known, I would have stayed in Toyooka and just come to the onsen town at night to use the facilities and take the JR train back to get a proper room facility

Near JR station and was the cheapest I could find in the area at that point in time. Decent breakfast

There’s no shower facilities in this property but I can understand why as most people will go onsen instead, after all this is an onsen village.

It’s very near to the train station and it’s very convenient to go anywhere.

Nothing

The room was spacious and really nice, the breakfast was also really good. We were able to use the yukata provided to go to the onsen.

should be made more clear in hotel listing that a private bathroom does not include shower or bath facilities. this made it very difficult to bathe our baby during our stay (and would have been good to know ahead of time). staff were nut I early helpful and did not appear to be very familiar with how the hotel operates (as they were mostly staff for cafe downstairs) 1 bathroom was not clean when we arrived. neither bathroom had hand soap filled up. beds were very soft and mattresses were on the floor rather than on bed frames, which was difficult for one of our party who has bad knees.

great location near train station and onsen. great price.

Room is small for 5 persons, no space for luggage. Wash basin is super small, you need to be very careful to not wet the floor. Check-out is quite early (10:30 am) but they will keep your luggage and you can get coffee while using the foot bath while waiting for your transport to the next destination so it's ok.

2 min walking from the train station, around 10-15 minutes walk to the onsen bath (depends on which onsen you are going to). Ground floor is a cafe where there is foot bath for you to enjoy. Yukata, haori, sock, basket, towel (to go to the onsen) are freely provided. The room is clean. It's quiet at night. There are 2 color of the yukata (yellow and deep blue) for adult, some size (S, M, L, children size. Children is light blue) They do not provide the pass to onsen bath. You can buy day pass or single ticket very easy at the onsen though. Breakfast is superb!

You can only use the ashiyu if you purchase something from the cafe.

Very close to train station. Just look for Kinosaki Ashiyu Cafe. Futon bed was comfy because a mattress was provided under the futon. Free breakfast was delicious! Was able to store our luggage after check out. Staff can speak some English. There is an attached toilet but no shower because this is an onsen town, you're supposed to go enjoy an onsen. (I don't know why some people complain about no shower room available).

Steep staircase to the rooms and no lift - cannot recommend if you have large/heavy luggage or mobility problems. Mattress is on the floor and very soft. Front sliding doors of cafe are left unlocked at night so guests can come and go, so there is only the lock on your room door. Air conditioning was difficult to operate (it was November but unusually hot). No shower as you are expected to use the hot springs (¥800 single entry/¥1500 day pass). Staff were not super friendly but no real problems. Room rate would be extremely expensive/poor value for money most other places but accommodation in Kinosaki Onsen is expensive.

Located just around the corner from Kinosaki Onsen Station and bus stops, very simple rooms but well set up and had air conditioning and remote control for lighting. Pleasant foot bath in the downstairs cafe space and selection of yukata to wear. Easy walking distance to all the hot springs. Simple breakfast (buttered toast, boiled egg, sausage, yoghurt). No problem with noise (stayed Mon to Fri). Staff were fine, efficient check-in/check-out and looked after cases after check-out.

Stayed in November 2024

Would be nice to offer a local breakfast option as well and to have more hangers/options to place clothes in the room

Great value-price ratio especially compared to other accommodations in the town. Spacious and simple room. Accommodation is close to all onsens.

Stayed in November 2024

Just given our age stairs and style of room a little difficult.

Breakfast was fine. Staff friendly and helpful. It was quiet.

Stayed in October 2024

Beautiful location overlooking the river that runs through town. Very easy to just walk everywhere including from the train station and to all the onsens. Great stay.

Stayed in November 2024

the beds. a 2 persons bed should be for two people. this one was smaller than a queensize which doesnt make it a comfortabele option for 2 people. bed was also soft, as soon as one person moved, the other would wake up and pillows really small

it is always nice to have a place that is literally always open, even if it is just the door. you could enter and exit any moment. much complimentary stuff to make your life as easy as possible, as an onsen town should be.

Stayed in October 2024

Everything in town closes early. And there is no shower but that's seems to be normal in this town

Clean room, near the train station, great location

Stayed in July 2024

Stairs are hard to walk on because the rail was very low. You had to bend down to hold it, somewhat dangerous.

Closed to train station and restaurants. Good value for money.

Stayed in June 2024

The second night we were staying there was a maintenance and some fixing outside and it was so noisy we could not sleep well. We had no electricity for the night and the room was hot because the AC was not working because of the power shortage.

Clean, kind staff and cute breakfast

Stayed in June 2024

There were only steep stairs to the rooms on the upper floors that made carrying heavy luggage difficult.

It was close to the railway station. The hotel provided nice yukata and sandals for walking in town and visiting the various onsens. A basic breakfast was provided in the morning. A nice foot bath was available in the lobby. The small staff was helpful with providing information.
