I came with little expectations, but was really pleased with this hotel. The outdoor onsen is really nice. The corridor is a bit noisy when someone walks by. Some dust and spider webs in the top shelfs but nothing really bad

建物が道路に対して横向きなので正面玄関が見えずそれとは思わず通り過ぎてしまう感じの外観 内部はリニューアルされているけど昭和レトロなどこか懐かしい感じ 部屋にはトイレ洗面はなく、各階共同だが最新式のモダンな感じで問題ない 部屋にはクーラーもテレビもないが、夜は十分涼しく、テレビが見たければ共有スペースで見られる 白樺林を眺めながらの露天風呂はとても気持ちよく、すこしぬるめだがアルカリ泉質のお湯もスベスベで心地よい 料理人だった前オーナーから事業継承したという山好きな中国人の若い夫婦が経営しているのでサービスは民宿レベルと思った方が良い 元オーナーから教わっているという料理はボリュームもあって、とても美味しかった 飲める温泉で炊いたお粥も良かった リーズナブルで上高地、飛騨高山にもアクセスしやすいロケーションで、とても感じの良いオーナー夫婦だったので、またリピートしたいと思った

Bellissima struttura, ampia stanza tradizionale con tatami. Onsen a disposizione (due zone distinte per uomini e donne). Cena e colazione tipiche eccezionali. Bagni pulitissimi e comodi

古くても細部にまで心配りをされてます。共用トイレ、洗面ですがとても綺麗です。匂いもなく、ペーパータオルもあり、古い施設の個室バスルームより良いです。洗面化粧台にはLEDライトが鏡の周囲についていて女性のお化粧に気を遣ってるようですし、ドライヤーが1階に備えてあるが客室が近い２階の洗面台には備えてないのは騒音にならぬようかなと。食事は手料理で温かいものが提供されます。冷めた天ぷらなどはなく、小さい宿だからこそのサービスだと思います。メニューは多彩、量もしっかり。朝食のお粥はうれしかったです。家族経営の限界はあるものの一所懸命されてらっしゃるから、嫌な気持ちになりません。チェックアウトするとき早く出られた部屋のドアを全開にされていて、陽の入る窓に向けて座椅子を並べてるのが垣間見えました。お風呂のお湯も良かったです。

娘、孫の3世代で2泊利用させて頂きました。 上高地を始め長野の観光するにはとても良いところにあって、都内は猛暑日なのに、エアコン要らずの立地でした！ 老朽化は否めませんが、気にならない位の手入れが行き届いて、インテリアが素敵でした。

施設も清潔で趣もあって良かったし、スタッフの方もとっても感じ良かったので満足しました。 しかし、3組しか泊まっていないのに、3室隣り合わせで入れられてしまったのが残念でした。 一つおきにするとかしてもらえたら良かったなぁ。
