Benjamin Sell
Excellent location right next to gora station. Private onsen for 700 yen. Full bathrooms in room as well. The rooms were a bit dated but comfortable. The beds are hard as a rock which was a bit strange felt like sleeping on a blanket tossed over a wooden floor. The breakfast spread was very okay nothing special. Very small tv in the room so definitely not for you if that's how you like to unwind b...

Hotel is very clean, staff is very kind and friendly with big smiles on their faces! Breakfast and dinner are really rich and delicious! Location is great as well, hotel is just in front of the station so you don’t need to walk. Also there is a Lawson and Daily Yamazaki convenient stores around hotel. I personally recommend Lawson because it’s easy to walk even it’s 1 km far from hotel. Anyway...

Decent rooms, were clean. For a family with 2 kids it was good enough. Kids loved the Onsen & wanted to stay an extra day just to go again. Breakfast was wonderful with good vegetarian options as well as non-vegetarian options. The dinner buffet however had no vegetarian options at all! The hotel is centrally located with train and bus station about 2 minutes away.
