More about Ryuzanso

While this is a modest hotel run by the local government, it serves satisfying hand prepared dishes. Enjoy the 100% natural hot spring baths poured directly from the source which are said to have a beautifying effect on the skin. Just 5 minutes on foot to the ski slopes.

    スキー”

    スキーで4泊お世話になりました。まず宿の皆様はとても親切でとても居心地がよかったです。またスキー場まで近く、大きな通りに出ればコンビニもあり大変便利で、スキー帰りにジュースなど買っていました。温泉は源泉掛け流しで気持ちよく入ることができました。また寄せて頂きます。

    驚いた”

    電気ポットの中に虫がいました。部屋の座布団に複数の髪の毛が付いていました。着替えを広げたらたたみからイグサの屑が付きました。靴下も同様でした。 トイレ、温泉の照明は自分で付けました。驚きですね。 夕食は都合により食べていませんので普通で評価しました。

    設備”

    エアコンなしでも過ごせないことはないですが、エアコンは欲しいです。 あと洗面所とトイレ、風呂はやはり各部屋に欲しいです。 いたるところに蜘蛛の巣とホコリがあり、部屋も館内も掃除が不十分でした。 温泉はシャワーの温度調節に不具合があり、熱湯と冷水が交互に出て辛かったです。 温泉のシャワー、床、窓辺、いたるところにぬめりがあり汚かったです。 いっそ掃除用具を置いておいてくれれば掃除したいと思うくらい、どこもかしこも汚かったです。 施設の方々は感じの良い人ばかりでした。

    部活の合宿の為、団体でお世話になりました。 急な人数変更にも丁寧に対応していただき、とても助かりました。 スキー場まで近く、大きな通りに出ればコンビニもあり便利です。 温泉もとても気持ちよかったです。また宜しくお願いいたします。
