Hotel Route-Inn Yamanashi Chuo (couple trip)

Best value hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Firm but super comfortable beds, spacious rooms with a handy mini sofa (we had a twin room), clean, cheap, nice Japanese breakfast and convenience store and restaurants close by. From December the gym/golf simulator over the road will be open. Highly recommended!

One of the more expensive hotels in the area but it is justified. You can choose between non smoking and smoking rooms and the rooms feature everything you need from a bathtub to air conditioning.

When we checked in the room had been cleaned but the garbage had bloody tissue and tampons still in it. Bed is extremely firm- I slept better on the floor the night before. Pillow feels like it has gravel rocks inside it. Laundry machines are ridiculously slow and the wash + dry option took over 2 hours and the clothes weren’t dry. Had to run it another 30 minutes on dry. Asked staff for dry clean...

simple room that is comfy & clean; bed & pillows a little hard but I like them this way. the breakfast buffet has a good selection and the restaurant is reasonably priced. the staff are warm and friendly. the experience has been homey and pleasant; I would use this hotel again.

Clean and simple. Breakfast buffet was ok, not much variety but good enough for quick/light meal. Can be remote from fun stuff, nice restaurants depends on your purpose of visiting, most of attraction around the area like Nishizawa gorge or wineries are 30-40 mins drive. Not much things around. Overall stay was pleasant.
