Big room, not bad bed. Nothing wrong with the hotel just blackout blinds should be in use since has a massive glass doors and obviously the light in early morning is ridiculous. Otherwise perfect stay

Clean room with a great soaking tub on the balcony. Very friendly staff. The bed and pillows were a little uncomfortable. Very good breakfast buffet.

Hotel was great value and overall

I liked the area and loved the hotel. Would love to stay again in the future.

The staff were really kind and helpful, which I appreciated. The room felt clean overall, but I did notice a big stain on the floor. Also, since there were no yukata provided, it was a bit inconvenient to go to the outdoor bath in regular clothes. I also felt a bit unsure about hygiene—having to switch from the slippers or shoes I wore in the room to the shared sandals at the entrance didn’t feel very clean. Other than that, the place was quiet and relaxing, and the station was fairly close, which made things easy. Thank you for a pleasant stay.

Clean, very far from town

For the price, it needs some serious improvements and updates. Things were broken and heavily used.

A simple but comfortable hotel. Check out the banana plants growing in a greenhouse behind the restaurant. Crazy.

Way better than expected and better than the comments.

I had a good stay here. The room is reasonably spacious and comfortable, if not particularly fancy. The main attraction, of course, is the private hot spring, which was fantastic. The place is a short walk from town, but after sunset it's very dark on that road. There's a shuttle from their sister hotel in town in the afternoons but it doesn't run late. Still, that shuttle and one to the train station was appreciated. The little hub of restaurants on the premises is OK - not a huge selection, but there are some tasty options. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would stay there again for the private hot spring - that was fantastic like I say. Decent value for money for what you get.

The next door onsen was excellent as was the balcony shower and cedar tub attached to our room. The only issue was the location - too remote. But we solved this issue by using the hotel shuttle to and from the center of town. Bus service from center is fine.

A decent hotel - the hot springs bath tubs are amazing! There is a handy set of goods to buy at reception, and a decent range of options in the restaurant that her opened recently - the pizza was delicious! The rooms are a little tired but clean and comfortable. My main disappointment was that the restaurant area closed at 9 and there was no bar. Since it’s a dark trek to town, and there isn’t a great deal open late in town, it would have been great if there was a bar that stayed open a bit later, especially on the weekend.

So, this hotel is quite far from the station, which is fine to enjoy nature, but there is absolutely nothing around it to get drinks or food. So we had to use the hotel buffet for our dinner time. It was super expensive, kids must pay the same price as adults. And you need to add more money for drinks. The web site mentions more than 30 dishes, and it's a lie. Overall the food was just ok. Really no worth the price. If you have tattoos you cannot use the onsen. It's not written on the website, which is a shame because that's the reason we chose this hotel. The room was small, and the mattress was super hard, it was really uncomfortable. The bathtub on the balcony was the only positive point of the stay.

I really loved the bath right outside the room.

Great hotel. I was there for only a night and I didn't have much time to go into the Onsen. I enjoyed the Rotenburo though. It is a nice Hotel.

The restaurant only accepted reservations, so if you didn't have one before you made your reservations, you couldn't eat there, and we were told to leave and find somewhere else to eat. They offered no alternatives, and we ended up walking along a very dark and cold road back into town to get something to eat. No taxis were available, and no restaurants or convenience stores were nearby.

Having the shower on the balcony seemed a bit odd, but it worked.

Decent place. Nice staff and reasonably close to the town centre. I like the bath with hot water coming straight from the hot spring but not sure about the open air baths.

it was so nice to have the tub in the room. My Amrican husband who is not comfortable using the public hot spring tub could also enjoy the hot spring water.

The room was great. We had a deck with private onsen. The staff was very helpful. My one complaint is that it is far from the train station and the hotel shuttle only runs during peak hours. I would suggest paying the 730 yen for a taxi
