Hotel Analysis
Based on 2 sites · 250 reviews
A 3-star hotel in the heart of Shibukawa's Ikaho hot spring village. Guests frequently mention the excellent location 'right in front of the stone steps, across from the convenience store.' Many note the view of the stone steps from the room.
Reviews across sites commonly praise 'clean and spacious rooms.' Access to the sister hotel Tamaki's onsen for an extra fee is seen as great value. Couples and groups often say 'great satisfaction for the price.'
However, the front desk is unmanned, requiring phone calls to summon staff, which leads to waits at check-in or for urgent help. Some mention corridor noise or thin walls in rooms. The elevator is narrow and slow.
Ideal for relaxed stays with hot spring village strolls. Suits adult couples or friend groups.
