Hotel Analysis
Based on 3 sites · 1,122 reviews
An old hostel in Nagano's Shibu Onsen area. Built in 1975, it's conveniently located in Yamanouchi-cho near snow monkey park and ski areas. Guests frequently mention the 'great location' in reviews.
Reviews across sites praise the men's onsen as spacious and excellent. Rooms are large with traditional ryokan style and cozy. Skiers and monkey park visitors note 'easy access to bus stops'. Staff friendliness is also highlighted.
However, the aging building draws complaints about dust and dim lighting. Rooms are cold in winter, women's onsen is small and outdated. No access to public onsens and extra fees for towels/parking are gripes. Kitchen and common areas often cited as unclean.
Suits budget travelers seeking onsen and location. Short stays for skiing or monkey park visits get good satisfaction.
