Excellent traditional experience, onsen is great and the traditional food sets (both breakfast and dinner) are very nice. Only problems I had overall were maintaince going on during my stay (landscaping and some light building work), and some parts of the building are showing their age (especially in the onsen and lobby areas). Bonus note, some of the hole in the wall restaurants nearby are excellent and the rual area nearby is great for a break from the big cities (it has that fresh air countryside feel).

Wonderful hot spring hotel!

This hotel locates a bit far from the bus center, but still within 15minutes walk. The room, interior and hot spring were perfect! The staff is well trained and very kind. Its breakfast is also nice as well.

Lovely onsen hotel, Excellent service!

Check in was quick. Service was impeccable. Even though not very fluent in English, the staff tried their best to communicate. The hotel is by the river, and has amazing views. Japanese room we stayed in was very spacious. Buffet breakfast had a huge selection, and the hotel provides almost all the amenities you would need at the onsen. We encountered a few tour groups during our stay, so it can get quite crowded at times in the onsen.

The walls were thin. Above and below and beside me people partied all night. There were no English speaking staff, and I couldn't express this to them. The rooms and hallways are run down. The onsen is not well maintained.

Very nice!

Both the lady and gentleman at the reception are completely nice and helpful. Arrived hotel a bit late at night (around 8:30pm) and would like to have dinner at the Saga Gyuhinkan. Restaurant was almost closed but glad they finally accept us for meals. There's a Chinese waiter and he's very helpful too. Onsen opens till 12am for guest with room so that we can still enjoy it after dinner. Sauna inside hot spring area is small but clean. A very wide range of food served during breakfast, truly worth for money and recommend for anyone who visit Ureshino. :)

not recommended. tourist trap

well. for the price. not good. my room : ok size, old bath tub with moss. smells like soy soyce spill, next room loud i can hear kids screaming at 1 am. also on going construction in front. sauna water is so little, sauna is so old and so cold. toilet is so cold. my ass frozen. i made reservation 3 months ago but they did not say ‘dinner is not available’. had to look for local restaurant for 1 hour. luckly we found local restaurant. if not, i could have eaten at 7/11 store. been to many japanese ryokan and hotel. this is the worst local motel with nothing around. this is tourist trap motel in middle of nowhere. nothing traditional about it. i rather drive 1 hour to kumamoto stay in nikko hotel or the blossom kumamoto hotel.
