Hotel Analysis
Based on 3 sites · 47 reviews
A 2-star onsen ryokan in the outskirts of Mito. Reviews frequently praise the 'great onsen water quality.' The innkeeper's kindness and warm breakfast leave a strong impression amid the aged facilities.
Across booking sites, guests repeat that the 'onsen water is soft and warm' and 'baths are spacious and comfortable.' Solo travelers say they could 'focus on studying or sleep deeply,' appreciating the cozy wooden rooms. The landlady's thoughtful care and delicious breakfast get high marks.
However, many complaints about facility deterioration. Wall holes, tatami stains, mold and bugs, cat access, clutter, poor cell signal, door gaps, and floor noises are mentioned.
Suits solo travelers who enjoy onsen and the landlady's hospitality, or those seeking a homey stay. Those expecting modern convenience or perfect cleanliness may be disappointed.
