      “Exceptional”

      Humoumgous rooms with fantastic service. There are also private indoor and outdoor baths available for free, as well as free massage chairs in the lobby. This is in addition to the largest rotenburo around. You are fed very well, with onigiri provided in

      “Very good”

      We had a reasonable size and comfortable Japanese style room. It is the better hotel in the relatively obscure locale which is not easy to find even if you drive. It is within walking distance to the biggest open on-sen in Western Japan. Service and foo

      “送迎について”

      JRのトラブルで到着が4時間遅れとなってしまった。しかし、白浜駅まで片道1時間10分のところを送迎バス手配していただき、とても助かった。駅に着いた途端に「本当にお疲れ様でした。お昼ごはん食べられましたか?コンビニ寄らなくて大丈夫ですか?」と声を掛けて頂き、心遣いがとても嬉しかった。

      西日本一と言うだけあって露天風呂は大きく、数も多かった。源泉掛け流しでよいのだがはっきりした特長のある泉質ではない。あがった後は肌がややしっとりしているようである。設備サービス食事は言うことが無いほど素晴らしい。ホテル内外ゆったりと広々として気持ちが良かった

      畳の香りがする広々とした部屋で、古道歩きの疲れをいやすことができまいた。 館外にもお風呂があるようですが、館内のお風呂で十分満足しました。 食事は、温かいものがタイミング良くサービスされ、おいしくいただきました。チェックアウト時、簡単なお弁当をいただき、ここまでしていただけるのかと、驚きました。このホテルにして良かったです。
