Amazing
AAnonymous UserExtremely satisfying hotel.
In the area of Shanghai, this hot spring hotel is considered one of the highest.
First of all, the environment of the independent small courtyard is very elegant, and all 8 rooms are facing the beautiful lake view, especially the beautiful scenery under the sunset, which is really pleasing to the eye.
Secondly, the room is not only large, but also has a separate hot spring pool. Everything in the room is fine, and it is no problem to come here empty-handed. Toiletries, razors, various skin care and hair products, all have. You can also go to the mixed bath hot springs on the top floor of the 6th floor. The idea here is very chic, when entering the hot spring, men and women must wear a special clothes, similar to swimsuits.
Again, each room has a separate dining room, and walk past it for three seconds.
Then there is a local bar on the ground floor that offers locally produced sake.
Finally, walking across the small road is to visit the lake, and you can walk to the station in 8 minutes, which is really convenient. There are many restaurants around, no need to worry.
GGuest UserIt is purely unexpected to be able to book this old-fashioned Japanese-style hotel on Trip.com. Visiting the city in April is the off-season for tourism, and the price is very cost-effective.
There are relatively few small public transportation in the city. After arriving at JR Shangyu Visit Station at night, I walked for 20 minutes to the hotel. The sign at the door ”small hot spring hotel by the lake” is so handsome. The hotel is run by a 50- or 60-year-old couple and the reception is very thoughtful. The room was unexpectedly clean and tidy, with mottled marks on the furniture and the overall style of the hotel, and I thought there would be no smell of tatami mats in the humid environment by the lake. There is a preparation manual in the room. Although there is no Chinese, the content is relatively simple and can be understood. The first floor is a restaurant, and the next door is a small hot spring. The hot spring water quality is clear and the temperature is suitable.
The convenience store 5 minutes walk from the hotel is unexpectedly closed at 17:00 pm, and the 24-hour convenience store needs to walk for about 15 minutes. Breakfast is not operated in nearby restaurants, so it is best to experience a classic Japanese breakfast at the hotel for breakfast. Dinner is also available here.
The lake view room is facing the lake, bringing a refreshing panoramic view of the lake, while the experience of visiting the lake, the car noise on the lakeside road at night will bring some unpleasantness. Consider it when choosing a room type.
Surroundings: There are several restaurants next door to the hotel for lunch. About 10 minutes walk, there is a comprehensive hotel called katakurakan that can rent electric bicycles. It is a good choice to ride around the lake and the city.
HHanaLocation is great, it is just on the main road and by the lake. I remember there was a Lawon convenient store not far away when we drove past. We stayed there for 1 night.
I highly doubt if we were given the wrong room type, as I booked a room that can see the full Suwa Lake, but the room we have got is at the corner. It is because of the cherry blossom season, there are so many mosquitos outside so we couldn't open any window. According to the information provided by the hotel, the mosquitos don't bite human, but create stains on clothings.
Anyway, the room has a private onsen. It was quite small, and look a bit old. The water is very hot, though I couldn't smell any sulfur so it is not a real hot spring. As the windows can't be opened, so it is a quite stuffy inside the bathroom. The room has equipped with all amenities, but no bottled water. The hotel mentioned the water is drinkable from the tab. The room is quite clean and spacious. The mattress is quite nice, it was good for taking a rest after a whole day trip. We chose the meal package (breakfast and dinner). They were both Japanese style with a lot of dishes and options. Food is great. Nagano is not a place that produces meat, so mainly there are a lot of vegetables.
With the price we paid for, the hotel services, food and everything is quite reasonable. However, the hotel is a bit old. Nothing is special other than providing a clean room to sleep.
