The hotel is big and the room is big too for our family. The service is really good and they offer free drinks in the lobby. The hotel is old but comfortable. We need to wear our slippers in the hallway because it is a Japanese hotel. My kids enjoyed their comic room even if they don't read Japanese.

Actually its all good ecxept for the check in process. We arrived before 3pm then when the time to check in at 3pm there is a long line in the reception .We had to wait for 35 to 40 mins to received the keys . I think they need to add more staff on their check in process to have smooth check in procedure.

We arrived about 45 minutes ahead of check in time after driving straight from Kansai Airport. The parking lot had about 10 cars in it and the lobby was deserted. I was surprised we were not permitted to check in early and had to wait for the official check in time. Understandable if hotel was busy but it seemed very odd to make us wait. Otherwise, place was generally ok.

歴史のあるホテルですので、廊下や階段、客室などにところどころ古さを感じる点は否めません。 ただし、エントランス、ラウンジ、大浴場など施設は豪華さも清潔感もあり、満足度は高いです。 滞在中のウェルカムドリンクとして、バーラウンジが、アルコール類含めてフリードリンクだった点は、特別感のある経験でした。 下調べしていた通り、朝と夜のビュッフェの食事はメニューが豊富で、味も美味しかったです。 大人気ですので、メニューを取るのは少し時間がかかりますが、食事時間は1時間半ありますので許容可能な範囲です。 3歳の子供も帰りたくないと言うくらいでした。また行きたいと思います。

食事は朝、晩バイキングでとても種類がありました。 ビールもワインも飲み放題で、アルコール好きにはたまらないと思います。 しゃぶしゃぶやポーチドエッグ、トリュフのバーガー等その場で作ってくれてました。 シュークリームの皮がザクザクでクリームもその場で入れてくれ、モンブランも機械から絞り出してくれてました。とても美味しかったです(メニューは時期により異なると思います) ロビーにラウンジがあり、コーヒー、ソフトドリンク、ビール、ワイン、お酒が飲み放題で、おつまみ菓子も付いていました。 温泉入口前には男女共用リラックススペースがあり、ソファや椅子、飲み物も少しあり、ゆっくりくつろげました。 部屋に化粧水などの化粧品はありませんでしたが、温泉にはありました。 漫画ルームもあり、冊数はそれほど多くはありませんでしたが楽しめました。卓球ルームもありました。 ホテル内が充実していて、もうずっとホテルで過ごしていたいくらいでした。 トイレと洗面台が分かれていたらもっと良かったと思います。
