Must be in the room by 2330 or be locked out for the night (i.e. you can never leave) despite a pizza joint 5 minures walk away ipen until 0000 as well as 24 hour Lawson and 7-11. Otherwise this is great value for your monies.

Nice and big space for chilling out. Has a nice bath tub separate from bathroom. Free "medical soap" to relieve fatigue given as part of the bath tub experience. I chose the Japanese traditional room and the room is spacious. But the room got cold at night. Air con (warmer) was not strong enough.

Clean ryoukan in a picturesque little alley, a spacious room and a sublime private bath. You also recieve a free voucher for the nearby ki no yu onsen. The breakfast is massively large and tasty, I'll definitely visit again when I'm in Kobe.

名前から和風旅館を想像していましたが、実際のサービスは、インバウンドの外国人向けの民泊の印象で、エントランスから入室までのチグハグ感や、部屋と水廻りの設備の違和感に、家庭宿泊なのか旅館宿泊なのか、料金的に分からず馴染めませんでした。

靴は脱いだままでいいですよとのことで脱いだままにしたのですが、私たちの泊まった部屋用の下駄箱がないのか、そこからずっと玄関に置きっぱなしでした。 常に共用の下駄やスリッパ、宿泊客の玄関に靴が散乱。 風呂から帰ってきた時脱いだスリッパは誰かに使われ、ロビーにはスタッフがいないので新しいスリッパなども渡されず、困りました。 朝ごはんは口コミで感じるほど美味しくなく、看板などには卵と鮭が選べるとありましたが聞かれることなく鮭で出てきました。 また、朝ごはん会場に指定の時間に行ってもスタッフはおらず、声をかけると食事中だったのか口にものを入れた状態でスタッフが出てきて席を指さされました。 部屋は綺麗でしたが廊下の話し声とかすごい聞こえるので、部屋の声も聞こえるかなぁとやや不安に。 スタッフは感じのいい外国人の女性でニコニコしてくださってましたが、とにかく靴散乱のくだりがちょっとマイナスイメージでした。
