Private Holiday Homes in Shimotsuga District

"Excellent value- great spa, good food and nice people."

"I don’t get why there are so many foreign workers. At the check-in and the housekeeping. It’s subtle details but they’re Japanese is not fluent, or they don’t smile immediately when they see you, or immediate greet you. I shouldn’t have to walk up and say hi first for them to look up. And non-customer related conversations should be done quietly behind. I want to be treated as a customer, not someone who is just someone to be attended. Also regardless they are housekeeping, it is Japanese custom to smile, bow, and be greeted. Also why do I have to speak English in a Japanese hotel? They should understand Japanese."

"The WiFi didn't work and the excuse the staff gave me was that my computer was an older model. I have never had any trouble with any other hotel before nor since."

"It was a nice hotel. Airy and well designed. But there was no cafe available for breakfast .The location is a bit far from the main city area. "

"Excellent Route Inn. Really busy at breakfast at 6:30, due to a big group all dining first thing. Delayed our start by 30min. Not the hotel’s fault. Staff were amazing. "

"The staff was very helpful. Walked me through doing laundry. Evening ramen was good. Discovered a supermarket nearby with excellent, microwaveable meals. I’ve stayed here several times. I have a friend in Omiya and even though it’s a 15 minute train ride to get there, I think it’s worth it to stay here."

"Fairly new Hotel. No dinning restaurant however hotel provides free snack for the first 100 guests 8 PM to 11 pm. Our snack was sashimi rice with hot soup and pickles. Hotel staff refer a Restaurant nearby. The restaurant was very good. The hotel breakfast was wonderful."

"Liked that there was a fridge and microwave in our room and an onsite onsen. Although sad that the women's onsen doesn't have a cold plunge or sauna like the men's. Provided pajamas, onsen towels and disposable slippers were good additions. Breakfast was ok.Thanks for a lovely stay."

"The typical business hotel done right. Affordable, clean, quiet, comfortable and near the train station. Plus it comes with free breakfast which is a rarity nowadays. Lines for breakfast can get long at opening time, so it's good if you can wait it out until about an hour later."
