Categories

Cleanliness
7
Mixed signals: several guests praised general room hygiene, toiletries and high-grade amenities, but there are explicit complaints about the onsen not being clean (dead bugs, dirty windows) and one note about towels/face-towel availability — overall cleanliness is weaker around shared bath areas.
Service
9.5
Consistently praised: multiple reviews call staff 'lovely', 'excellent', 'very kind' and responsive (including accommodating breakfast requests), indicating very strong service throughout the stay.
Location
9.7
Outstanding river-front location: numerous mentions of river views, peaceful natural setting and easy access to outdoor activities — location is a key highlight of the property.
Room Quality
9.8
Very positive: rooms repeatedly described as spacious, comfortable with big comfy beds, private onsen in some rooms, good views and high-quality in-room amenities (shampoos, lotions, good hairdryers).
Amenities
9.1
Strong amenities (private onsen options, high-grade toiletries, in-room coffee grinders) but some notes that the onsen rest area could use a facelift — overall amenities are robust with minor communal-area wear.
Value for Money
8.9
Standard quality for this hotel tier.
Food and Beverage
8.2
Generally praised breakfasts and dinners and several guests loved the meals (Japanese and Western options), but there are recurring issues: Western breakfast quality inconsistent, freshness concerns, vegetarian/ingredient transparency problems and at least one report of poor food quality.
Overall Experience
9
Mostly exceptional stays: many guests describe a relaxing, luxurious experience with excellent location, service and rooms; a few service/food/cleanliness caveats slightly temper an otherwise very positive overall experience.

Amazing resort
Pros:

A place of stunning beauty and uniqueness. We enjoyed every moment of our stay, especially the view from the room.

Cons:

Breakfast , but still it is not a big deal.

Pros:

La stanza è ampissima, quasi un piccolo appartamento, e il mini onsen privato è una coccola fantastica. Abbiamo amato la colazione e tutte le amenities offerte dall'hotel, come i gelati la sera, gli yogurt la mattina, il ramen corner a tarda notte. Il personale è tutto gentilissimo.

Cons:

La cena è certamente di buona qualità, avevamo solo aspettative un po' più alte visto il prezzo e lo standard altissimo delle cene in hotel che abbiamo provato nel nostro viaggio in Hokkaido.

Beautiful location, friendly staff, let down by old rooms and dreadful catering
Pros:

The location by the river is truly spectacular and there is a great view from the rooms
The bed was comfortable
The staff at check in were pleasant and efficient

Cons:

This is more of a hotel favoured by group tours, than a ryokan. The service is perfunctory, rather than that experienced at a true ryokan.
This hotel has been around for a while and you can tell this by the conditions of the rooms. my wall paper was peeling and probably due to the location by the river, my room smelt quite musty and just generally felt old.
My real complaint is with the food, I had selected the dinner & breakfast option. At arrival I had been given the 8 pm dinner seating (I was still jet lagged, so that was too late for me & I told reception I would not be having dinner. They were just interested in pointing out there would be no refund - which I hadn't requested - rather than finding an earlier slot.) After attending breakfast the next morning, I was glad I had missed out on dinner. The worst food, I have ever been served in my 20 years of visiting Japan. Poor school cafeteria quality. I find it quite unbelievable, that a hotel in the Dormy Inn group, would serve up such food & at this price point. I had breakfast at the Dormy Inn Kushiro, which was a 1000 times better at a fraction of the price. Should I return to Eastern Hokkaido in the future, I would stay at the Dormy Inn in Kushiro and do day trips from there with my car.

מקום חמוד ויפה
Pros:

המלון מעוצב מהמם, יש אונסנים מקסימים ומרווחים, מחלקים ראמן בלילה ויש כל מה שצריך ביד רחבה

Cons:

היה בעייתי לקבוע ארוחת ערב אצלם, שלחתי מייל למלון דרך המייל שמופיע כאן בבוקינג (!!!) וזה לא הגיע אליהם, הם לא ראו אותו ולא היה מקום יותר בארוחת הערב אז היינו צריכים למצוא משהו בעצמנו בעיירה אקאן שהיא די ריקה...

Pros:

L'hotel è molto curato e la struttura il legno è molto bella, così come la posizione nel bosco e vicino al fiume. In camera l'acqua è fornita gratuitamente e anche piccoli dolcini. La sera è disponinile il ramen e i gelati sempre inclusi nel costo della camera che, tuttavia, è davvero elevato.

Cons:

La colazione potrebbe essere migliore, in termini di qualitá dei prodotti, sia quella asiatica che quella occidentale. In quest'ultima sia il pane che i cornetti non erano all'altezza di un quattro stelle. La vista dalla stanza era parzialmente nascosta dal tetto del ristorante al piano di sotto. E questo non era segnalato. Naturalmente la valutazione tiene conto del prezzo pagato.

フロントの対応が良かった。
Pros:

何と言っても立地が最高です。
客室や大浴場から見る阿寒川は
いつ行っても癒されるます。
ただ２日目の朝食会場で、
コールボタンを押してもしばらく
何も連絡が無く、受付で待たされて
しまったのはいただけません。
改善を望みます。
２日目の夕食時に、ドリンクをオーダー
してから到着するまでの時間が
ちょっとかかりすぎだと思います。

Cons:

朝食時の受付の対応。
改善を望みます。

Pros:

這是一間很棒的溫泉酒店，雖然不在阿寒湖畔，但離阿寒湖大約車程5-10分鐘的距離。最推薦個人的溫泉部屋，想像冬天，一邊泡著湯，一邊欣賞窗外的雪景，絕對是最棒的享受:但我[們是在夏天入住，靜靜地欣賞阿寒川的淙淙流水，同樣令人感到身心療癒。晚餐跟早餐，我們都享用得非常飽足，宵夜還無料提供拉麵享用，泡完湯後也能盡情得吃上幾支冰棒。比起一開始有點在意此酒店不在阿寒湖畔，入住後發現超乎預期的喜歡，離開酒店後，仍可依計畫前往阿寒湖畔散步遊湖，若是冬季能再成行，一定要再入住。

Bellissima posizione funestata purtroppo da servizi molto mediocri
Pros:

La posizione è impareggiabile, la struttura è immersa nella riserva naturale, vicino al fiume. Facilmente si vedono animali nel loro ambiente naturale. Stupendo

Cons:

Le cene e le colazioni sono di bassissima qualità, al limite del commestibile. Il ryokan è molto modesto in paragone alla struttura.
I tavoli della cena e della colazione sono scarsamente puliti.
Nonostante questi difetti a mio avviso imperdonabili lo staff è molto cortese. Purtroppo non credo valga la spesa molto alta se non per la vista meravigliosa. La camera è bella.

True japanese ryokan experience in a beautiful setting
Pros:

-the rooms were beautiful
-the onsen was exceptional
-the staff was super friendly but no english

Cons:

-the hotel puts you in a japanese straitjacket:
-The diner is a pre set 10 course japanese meal served at 5.30 or 8pm. No flexibility in timing or menu.
-the breakfast is served at your table. You have to make a reservation and even then they make you wait for 15 minutes before your breakfast is served. Do not expect a western type of breakfast.
-there is no hotel bar and you are not allowed to take a glass of wine from the restaurant to your room.
