I had a pleasant stay overall, as the staff was friendly and tried their best to help despite some language barriers. The location, while a bit further from Kyoto than expected, was still convenient for exploring the region. However, the rooms were a bit narrow and had a strong smell, which was not ideal. On a positive note, the dining experience was very affordable and offered everything I needed.

I had quite an experience at this hotel! While it’s located about a 15-minute walk from Kusatsu Station and is close to a convenient store, I initially thought I was booking in Kyoto, which turned out to be my only real issue. The rooms were narrow and had some strong smells, requiring better ventilation. On the bright side, the service was excellent; the staff went above and beyond to help us, even offering a ride to the station. Overall, I think it’s decent value for money, especially with the affordable dining options.
