員工多為外國籍,但是不影響住宿體驗,兢兢業業熱心服務。本次住宿,住宿者9成以上是外國人,部分沒有遵守溫泉入浴規範(例如,整頭的長髮泡在溫泉裡),體驗比較不OK

Pros:

Very nice outside onsen!
Bright, big room.
Nice bathroom.

Cons:

The guy at the front desk told us to wait half an hour for a shuttle, even though I asked to order a taxi. He told us he couldn’t order one and just seemed too lazy to do it, telling me to get the app and call one myself. Arranging a taxi should be one of the most basic things a hotel desk helps you with. Kawaguchiko is a major tourist town, taxis and transport help are absolutely expected here.

We also requested a twin room with split beds, but they were pushed together when we arrived. While separating them myself, I found many hairs and a lot of dust between the beds. When I asked if they could clean it, the same guy seemed annoyed, though we did come back to a clean room

There was a weird rumbling noise outside the window the entire time, making it hard to sleep.

Request veggie options for breakfast if needed, as there are almost none at the prepared breakfast.

The hotel is pretty run-down and old, and smelled like years of cigarette smoke stored in the floors and walls.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Pros:

Close to main area of town and the staff were super friendly and extremely helpful

Cons:

The building is quite outdated, and the room smelt old and dusty. We had to leave our windows open all day to let some fresh air in, but even then the smell wouldnt budge.

Pros:

I saw that in the comments but I thought they were exaggerating, the location is great just by the lake my room had a Mount Fuji view, that depends on the weather of course, I was lucky to have a mostly clear view early in the morning, the staff in the restaurant was amazing.

Cons:

The property it self is too old

最悪
Pros:

スタッフさんの対応は、良かったです。

Cons:

高額の割りにトイレが暖房便座でなくもちろんシャワー付きトイレでもなく、こんなホテルに泊まったのは初めてでした。 
部屋の扉ののぞき窓もなく、畳はきしむし、敷居はギシギシ音がなるし、大浴場のマットはべたべただし、
最低のホテルでした。
料金がやすいならそれも仕方がないが、この価格では合わないと思いました。
料理もおいしくなく、これなら外で食べて食事なしのプランの方がよかったと思いました。
二度と利用することは無いと思いました。

Great location, authentic vibe with top meal service.
Pros:

Location, stop 6 of the Red line, walking distance from the Ropeway.
The onsen facility was great.
The view from room 301, lake on one and Mount Fuji on the other side!
The restaurant: haute cuisine and very attentive service (even though I barely ate cuz they don't cater to vegetarians with this sort of cooking style).

Cons:

The tatami in our room was either badly worn out or dirty. Can't say. The ventilation system in our toilet was defective. We kept getting cigarette smoke and kitchen smell in room from it. The first yukata and a face towel we found in the room were dirty but when we informed the staff they were immediately replaced.
