"Just a 2-minute walk from JR station, located right on the shopping street with plenty of great food and shops nearby. The room was clean, and the service was warm and welcoming. They even have shared laundry machines, a dryer, microwave, and a fridge, which was a very thoughtful touch. Breakfast was simple, just milk and bread, but it tasted good. It would be even better if there were more options."

"This hotel is too old and run-down, and the cleanliness was terrible. I should have stayed at one of the beachfront hotels nearby. I really made a mistake. It's a lesson learned for next time – even though it wasn't expensive, it was genuinely uncomfortable."

"It is probably the best hotel in Karatsu city with beautiful sea view. This hotel has various facilities, including SPA, onsen and warm swimming tools etc. which is good for family taking the vocation. The buffet is also OK. However, the room rate is not cheap. However, from the viewpoint of taking the family taking, this hotel is still recommended."

"It was a very clean and comfortable night. The front desk staff was perfect when we checked in, but there was no "thank you" when we checked out. Also, when processing with headquarters and the owner, there seemed to be some language differences and problems with communication. The facilities were perfect, so if they could improve their response measures in case of trouble, we can expect further growth. We wish your company continued success."

"This was my family's second visit after 6 years ago, and it was just as good. In particular, the free 45-minute use of the outdoor hot spring with a sea view was the best in terms of satisfaction and healing."

"If you speak English well, it will be very convenient, as there are many English instructions. However, the front desk staff's English is generally not good, and check-in is done via self-service in English. If you mind, you can ask them. The day before, I stayed at the Mercure across the street, but the sea view wasn't as good as this one's river view (including Karatsu Castle view), which is very beautiful. There's also a light show at night, and there's a small public bath on the first floor—so relaxing! Excellent value for money! The room was cozy and had everything you needed. Interestingly, the refrigerator was also self-service (English instructions included). I only stayed one night, so I didn't have to worry about room cleaning. It seems this hotel cleans every three days, and you can leave your trash in the hallway, which is common in many Japanese hotels. There are fast food restaurants nearby, and the JR station is within walking distance. The river is right outside, a great place for a stroll. The hotel information mentions (paid) bicycle rentals, but I didn't inquire about the details. There are many self-service items in the lobby, and there are English signs indicating free coffee in the morning, but I didn't take advantage of it because I checked out early."

"The system is simple"

"Old Japanese traditional tatami room The facilities also feel old. Breakfast is not worth the price Just the service was good The room is cold so I have to sleep with a warm blanket."

"The traditional Ryokan had great service and delicious food. The garden was also beautiful. I would like to visit again next time."
