Charming Services! A Clean and Comfortable Hotel Stay

Teaki

Stayed in March, 2025

I stayed at DEL style Nagoyabashi by Daiwa Roynet Hotel. Overall, it was a highly satisfying hotel experience. First, the amenity bar was well-equipped, and it was nice to have complimentary skincare products like lotion and moisturizer available. There was also a service offering free ice for guests, perfect for a refreshing treat. The room was clean and stylishly decorated. The sink, toilet, and bath were separate, making it very convenient to use. Additionally, complimentary mineral water was provided, showing attention to small details. The front desk staff were courteous, making check-in and check-out smooth. I didn’t use it this time, but I think having a large bath is a high point. Furthermore, with a women-only floor available, I felt that it was a safe environment for solo female travelers. I can highly recommend this hotel for your stay in Nagoya.

The Best Place to Stay in Bangkok! Convenient Location

旅好き✈️母娘（小学生）

Stayed in March, 2025

I stayed in March 2025, and it's my second visit after December 2024. Directly connected to BTS Asoke Station and adjacent to MRT Sukhumvit Station. You can use both without getting wet, even with a large suitcase. It's also nice that they can hold your luggage after checkout, so you can enjoy until the last minute. Additionally, right in front is Terminal 21, a shopping mall open until 10 PM. You can enjoy movies, shops (souvenirs, clothing, and miscellaneous goods), cafes, restaurants, food courts, and a supermarket in the basement, which makes it a perfect place to spend all day in hot Bangkok. The views from the rooftop bar are fantastic, and compared to bars in other hotels, the prices are quite reasonable. The staff were kind and left a good impression, and it’s also family-friendly if you're with elementary school children. Craving fresh vegetables, I used the restaurant 'Ume no Hana' on the second floor for breakfast. You can choose from four pre-set sets, which include both Japanese and Western options. Rice and miso soup can be refilled. There's a buffet with drinks, fresh vegetables, fruits, yogurt, toast, and natto, which was great to be able to enjoy fresh vegetables with peace of mind. The Moo Ping (pork skewers) on the buffet table is delicious, so definitely try it if you get the chance. The room is sufficiently spacious; although there's no bathtub, the water area is clean, and the shower pressure is excellent. The service is so good that you'd forget you're in Bangkok. You can use your chargers and hair irons from Japan without needing a converter (see photos). The room includes disposable slippers and a one-piece pajama set. Amenities include disposable slippers, toothbrushes, shower caps, cotton swabs, and cotton. The hairdryer is a Panasonic model with great airflow. In the bathroom, there are body soap, shampoo, and conditioner. The refrigerator has two bottles of water and an additional two bottles of room-temperature water, which was a nice service. Overall, it's a very relaxing room. Many staff members speak Japanese, which is reassuring. There are laundry facilities on the lobby floor, with two washing machines and two dryers. There's also an ice service and a microwave. You can purchase two coins (tokens) for 200 baht at the front desk for laundry. Each bag of detergent and softener is included, and you can purchase more if needed. Laundry takes 40 minutes, and drying takes 60 minutes; it’s recommended to do laundry while having breakfast. In the lobby, there are vending machines for drinks and snacks. An ATM is also available 💸

Free accommodation for elementary school students! The perfect base for sightseeing in Sapporo!

ltty09.1006.f

Stayed in March, 2025

While I am a Sapporo citizen, I used this hotel because I had a dinner plan with my children in Susukino. This hotel has a system where you get the necessary amenities from the lobby, which I felt was a sustainable initiative. The room has a bathroom, but there is no large public bath. However, if you show your room card, you can bathe at a related hotel just a 3-minute walk away! Plus, there was a discount! Right next to the hotel, there is a convenience store, and since it is right in the middle of Susukino, there are plenty of restaurants. The front entrance is locked at midnight, but you can enter and exit anytime with your room card. I stayed without meals this time, but you can add breakfast for 2000 yen for adults and 1400 yen for elementary school children. The menu seems to be something characteristic of Hokkaido. It left a very clean impression. I would like to try staying at their related hotels next time.

Stayed in March, 2025

As this was my multiple visit to Hakodate, I chose not to visit many famous tourist spots, but instead enjoyed delicious meals and relaxed at the hotel. When I went to the large public bath around 5 PM, I happened to catch the sunset! I recommend going to the bath between 4 PM and 5:30 PM! Since many people come for sightseeing, if the timing is right, you might get to enjoy a private bath! The morning buffet requires a ticket machine, so I recommend going early!!! The women's bath has a beautiful view indoor, while the men's bath is an outdoor bath.

Night and Morning Activities in Hachinohe!

はるこ

Stayed in March, 2025

I used this hotel for an overnight stay to go to the Kanpachi Morning Market early in the morning. It is a bit far from the Shinkansen station, but it is located in the center of Hachinohe, and there is a bus stop from Hachinohe station nearby. Miroku Yokocho, the nightlife area, is also close by, and shuttle buses to the morning market leave from nearby, making it a convenient location for Hachinohe sightseeing. The first floor has Nakau, an izakaya, and Lawson. The room is clean, and it’s a business hotel. The parking at the hotel is 900 yen per night, and the nearby Sakura-no department store has parking for 600 yen for 24 hours, so I parked there.

夏みかん

Stayed in March, 2025

It's not often that you find a hotel where you can check in at 1 PM, so I felt very lucky. I arrived before 1 PM but was able to check in because the room was prepared. As I stayed there to relax, I quickly changed and relaxed. The robe provided was made of pile fabric. It was nice to have three types of towels: bath, face, and hand. The room had twin beds, but the hallway to the window was narrow, and there was only one chair, which might make it uncomfortable for two people to relax together. For a solo stay, it was definitely comfortable. The hotel itself is not new, so there were some stains and scratches on the walls, but the amenities were clean. The toilet paper was double, not single! Additionally, there was a larger refrigerator than usual for a hotel, and it also had a separate freezer section, allowing me to buy ice cream and keep it cool. It was also a nice touch to find two bottles of water provided in the room. The hotel is directly connected to Chiba Chuo Station, and there are a variety of stores nearby, making it very convenient. 7-Eleven, Lawson, Matsumoto Kiyoshi, Starbucks, Hidaka-ya, CoCo Ichibanya, Yoshinoya, McDonald's, KFC, cinemas, supermarkets, etc. There were no lotions or tabletop mirrors provided.

It was very accessible from Tenjin Station! You can borrow manga for free, so I read volumes 1-6 of Thermae Romae. My 3-year-old child was able to sleep with me for free! I was thankful that checkout was at 11 o'clock. Even though it was a Saturday stay during a holiday, I was able to stay at a much lower rate compared to a regular stay using a special coin offer. Thank you very much!

Daiwa Series Hotels with Hot Springs

Saaaaaya

Stayed in March, 2025

Booking through HafH offers a great deal at the Daiwa Roynet Hotel, which has a large hot spring bath in Nara. Since it's a reliable and stable Daiwa series, you take the necessary amenities from the amenity bar in the lobby. However, unlike other Daiwa hotels that offer not only drip coffee but also tea bags, they didn’t have any here. (It might not be replenished at certain times) One of the great things is that you can go anywhere in the hotel in your pajamas, and the large hot spring on the second floor has spacious changing rooms and sinks, and the indoor bath was lovely and relaxing. It's a nice point that towels are provided, so you don’t have to bring your own from the room. And I appreciated that the hairdryer is a Refa model.

Enjoyable Dining. Three Large Baths at 'Kame No I Aso Park Resort'

愛です (旅ライター・神戸) Hafhアンバサダー

Stayed in March, 2025

The hotel, which was formerly Aso's Tsukasa Villa Park, has been rebranded as Kame No I. - The rooms were spacious. - The dining experience was quite fulfilling and satisfying. You can add all-you-can-drink for 2200 yen, but it's not that expensive for individual items, so ordering a la carte might be a good idea too. - There are three baths available, but they feel like the previous facilities. The large public bath on the first floor has an outdoor bath as well with many washing areas and plenty of changing rooms. - I didn't use the indoor pool, but it might be nice for those with children. ● The free bus from Aso Station requires a reservation by the day before, so we used a taxi from Aso Station, costing around 800 yen. ● If you can request a view of Mt. Aso, it's better to make that request for a better view.

5th Visit! A Hotel You Will Love Once You Go

minminx27671

Stayed in March, 2025

It’s not just about ‘staying’; there are plenty of unique delights not found in other hotels. - Animals welcoming you! The entrance lifts your travel mood. - Unlimited sparkling wine and stylish drinks in the lounge. - Welcome drink from a cute bear-shaped tap. (On this day, it was corn tea.) - The lounge 'omo base' changes with the seasons. - The large public bath has unique swing-like chairs that kids will love. - Free ice pops after the bath. - A coffee machine in the lounge is available for free use. (It’s nice that you can use it without having breakfast.) - A stylish book library (including picture books). - The night “Asahiyama Zoo lecture” is a must-see! - The compact but functional studio room design is fantastic. (The bed is as comfortable as a sofa, with under-bed storage for suitcases.) - Cute loungewear (including sizes for kids). - Breakfast is amazing (add-on charge for half-board; check times as they vary). - Convenient access within walking distance from the station. - Parking is also inexpensive at 1000 yen. Decorations change with the seasons and there are fun events, so you can enjoy visiting over and over again. I have stayed at various Hoshino Resorts, but this one is particularly good value and highly recommended!

A Japanese-style hotel inspired by the post towns of the Tokaido. It seems aimed at inbound tourists but has a very simple design and a clean impression. If you prefer non-chain business hotels, you should definitely give it a try! It's right behind the Kawasaki City Hall and close to Kawasaki Station and the shopping district. Access to Haneda Airport is also good, making it convenient for shopping. The best memory I have is when it was raining the next morning, I borrowed an umbrella from the hotel and went to Ginyukugai to buy an umbrella.

The Perfect Place to Relax in an Area Visited by Literary Masters

ちぃ

Stayed in March, 2025

In a word, I truly had a CHILL time. This was my first trip to Yugawara Onsen with my mother, just the two of us. I noticed male groups taking day trips, but we stayed overnight. From check-in to check-out, I appreciated the semi-self service approach, which allowed me to avoid interacting with others, making it perfect for those who want to spend time quietly and leisurely. Conversely, if you're expecting full service, you might feel a bit unsatisfied. Personally, I found the concept interesting and refreshing. The room had several yogibo, and I enjoyed the fact that I could use the bath from 16:00 to 8:00 anytime I wanted. There are no strict bathroom rules in the room, but the sink and toilet are separate, and the sink has a full set of amenities, so you can comfortably spend time without needing to bring anything. The location is about 10 minutes by public bus, and less than a 10-minute walk after getting off. If you have large luggage or lack confidence in going up steep slopes, I think it's better to request a shuttle. It was a good workout going up the steep slope, which I had never experienced before, but the round trip was tough. If you're without a car, you'll need to arrange meals at the inn or secure them in advance before your visit. One point in the directions to the facility mentions, "After getting off the bus, proceed about 70m in the direction you were headed and ascend the steep slope on the right to Kameya Ryokan," but I couldn't find Kameya Ryokan... Be careful as it's a different facility name. In the lounge, snacks (chocolate and dried fruits) and tea or coffee are provided for free, available at your leisure. I noticed there were a lot of mangas, but there were also magazines, paperbacks, and hardcover books, as well as board games for rent. There was a rich variety of yukata available. Before the bath, there were shelves for face towels and bath towels, so you could use a new one, but sometimes the supply was a bit low. I ordered two meals, dinner and breakfast, and they were both excellent. The menu featured local ingredients, and the portion sizes were just perfect! The bath was hot on the day of stay but a bit lukewarm the next morning, and the shower temperature was also lukewarm at night. There is no outdoor bath, and there's no gender-swapping system. Since it's a bit away from the station and downtown, I think it's perfect for those who want to spend time quietly. It's also great for a debut solo trip. Close to Tokyo, this inn is perfect for those who want to take a quick dip in the hot springs and enjoy a delicious meal to recharge their spirits, even without a car.

A Secret Inn You Want to Keep!

ずー

Stayed in March, 2025

This is my third time returning! I was able to stay at this hotel for 1050 coins on a weekend that typically costs about 70,000 yen on booking sites. Upon arrival, I was offered a welcome drink in the lobby lounge, allowing me to relax while enjoying the ocean view. If desired, I could also take drinks back to my room. What I love most about this inn is that my room has a half-open-air hot spring bath, allowing me to enjoy a bath at any time I like. Additionally, the large public bath is spacious, where you can slowly soak in the hot springs while looking at the sea and enjoy the sauna. When checking in, they inform you of the sunrise time for the next day, so if you go to the bath when the sun rises, you'll be treated to a spectacular view. The room is spacious, with a separate living area and bedroom. The presence of a mini-kitchen is a great bonus, making it easy for those with children to use. Tea and coffee were provided in the room. There was a coffee machine in the lobby, allowing me to enjoy unlimited cups for free! It was a machine that ground the beans each time, so the aroma was wonderful and the coffee was very tasty. I opted for the no-meal plan, but there are plenty of restaurants nearby, so I don't think you'll have any trouble. I had dinner from Kamesho Kuru Kuru Sushi to go and enjoyed it in my room! For breakfast, I bought bread from Tomonaga Pan the day before and had it with the lobby coffee. The staff was very kind, and I want to use this inn multiple times. Above all, the cost performance is excellent, and although I wish to keep this inn a secret, I really want many people to stay here! I will definitely return again!

Stayed in March, 2025

This is a hotel in front of the Forest Park Station on the Tobu Tojo Line. While it seems mainly used for business rather than tourism, I utilize it when I want to treat myself a little but don’t want to travel far. The room only has a shower booth, but there is a large public bath on the second floor. It has an indoor bath, an outdoor bath, a sauna, and a cold-water bath; it’s not very spacious, but it’s a calming space. The changing room has lockers with keys. There’s a drum-type washing machine with automatic detergent dispensing. It might be nice to wash and return with clean clothes while bathing. In the restaurant, breakfast and dinner are served daily, while lunch buffets are only on weekends and holidays. Dinner isn’t a buffet but a plate menu. The curry was spicy. It might be tough for kids. Near Higashimatsuyama, there's the COEDO brewery, so the beer served is COEDO beer. You can enjoy various types. Since it's a pre-payment system, I don’t have to worry about overdrinking~ While there aren’t plans on HafH, there is a Seibu Lions support plan on the official website. A room filled with Seibu Lions decor. Maybe Seibu fans would prefer that?

Super Affordable Reservations with HafH! Perfect for First-Time HafH Users

PURPLE

Stayed in February, 2024

It's often hard to give it a try because of strict cancellation policies at OMO and BEB locations under the Star Resort brand, but utilizing them is actually the biggest advantage of being a HafH member! In terms of prices, they are often much more affordable than booking through other sites. Just staying in this secret base-style playroom that the kids love brings them so much joy. Among them, the BEB5 Tsuchiura location is highly recommended for families looking for a bit of an experience to use points since it has a lower point requirement and is relatively easy to book. They often hold small events each season, and when we visited, there was 'BEB Strawberry Park' happening. We enjoyed making our own 'strawberry cotton candy' and got to ride a strawberry bike.

I used this when utilizing Narita Airport. It was convenient as I was able to take a free shuttle bus to the airport. Although it was charged, there was a large public bath where I could relax. Since it was the season of Hina Matsuri, hina dolls were displayed in the lobby. The hotel room did not allow temperature adjustment and was very cold, so I borrowed a small warm air heater to sleep. It would be nice if each room could adjust the temperature.

As an introductory experience of the Hoshino series, it is undoubtedly a hotel that pays attention to surprising details. From the uniquely designed room doorplates, comfortable tatami floors, impeccable interior space design, to the stunning large public bath (which looks like a museum with a chimney from the outside!), this hotel makes you look forward to which Hoshino hotel to stay in next. However, I must remind travelers planning to stay: 1. The luggage delivery service is charged, and it is not more convenient or cheaper than other delivery services. 2. The food and beverages in the hotel are served in disposable containers, which honestly feels a bit strange. 3. Although there are many experiential activities, the time is very limited, and the spots are scarce, making it almost impossible to arrange. As a choice in this price range, Hoshino OMO7 is still a worthwhile accommodation to visit.

Comfortable Hotel with Great Lounge Service and Large Bath

もす

Stayed in May, 2024

During Golden Week, I booked a two-night, three-day trip to Sendai as my base. I’ve visited Sendai several times but used a hotel on the east side of Sendai Station for the first time. Exiting the east side, it was very quiet, probably because it’s a business district. I was drawn to the color scheme and reserved a Double B room, but later felt I might have preferred Double S after checking the official website—it was a slight regret. The difference is that Double B has a bathtub (unit bath), whereas Double S has a multi-functional shower booth. There’s a large bath available, so honestly, there’s no problem with a unit bath, but I thought a shower booth would be more comfortable because it separates the toilet. However, in the end, I was very satisfied because I could enjoy my favorite bath time in my room after a stay at a hotel with a large public bath. It was great to come back tired from walking and immediately have a foot bath in my room to relax my aching feet—definitely recommended! The room itself was compact yet sufficient, and the bedding was fluffy and comfortable enough to sleep well. The loungewear was a separate type and felt good against my skin—very comfortable! I was glad to find a disposable bag available to use when going to the large bath. From check-in to check-out, the lounge service for guests that changes by the time of day was very fulfilling. I especially enjoyed tasting Sendai’s famous sweets that changed daily. The sweets I encountered in the lounge were so delicious that I bought some as souvenirs at the airport. In the evening, akamoku noodles were served, and it was great that I could take some back to my room in a cup to savor slowly! I had a relaxing stay, enjoying the lounge and everything it offered, making it a great base for my travels.

Booking through OTA would have cost over 100,000 yen for one night, but I finally got to stay at Amano Resort for the three-day weekend. As soon as I checked in, I enjoyed a welcome drink on a sofa that overlooks the infinity pool-like sea. The room was spacious and beautiful, with ocean views from all rooms, and the sound of the waves was so soothing that I could relax deeply. The facilities were well-equipped, and the in-room open-air hot spring was the best as I could go in easily, so I went in multiple times. It was the best value for money on hafh, and I was incredibly satisfied, making it highly recommended! Normally, it would be too expensive to stay, but thanks to hafh, I was able to make it this time. I want to save coins and stay again because it was that good!

🚃 Access From Nagasaki Station, take the JR Seaside Liner along the coast to Sasebo Station, then a high-speed boat from Sasebo Port New Minato Terminal to Oshima Port in 30 minutes. I requested a free shuttle service to the hotel at Oshima Port in advance. 🛁 Hotel Interior Instantly captivated by soothing scents as soon as you enter the hotel, enjoy a bathroom with an ocean view, stylish furniture, and drinks in the fridge that are related to Nagasaki, making it very relaxing. The elevator hall is spacious, which was very satisfying! You can also purchase Oshima Shuzo's sake at the shop. The items lined up in the shop and the art scattered around were wonderful! The small walking path is adorned with seasonal flowers, allowing you to feel the changing seasons. I was healed by the considerate attentiveness of the staff. 🍾 Breakfast As a welcome drink, you can choose the champagne "Hyper Aid Chic" that Marilyn Monroe liked for breakfast. This champagne was very delicious, and I ended up asking for a refill! You could also choose Oshima's tomato juice. For breakfast, I chose a Western-style steak. The steak sauce was light, and the dessert fruits paired excellently with the champagne! You can also opt for an omelet. While looking at beautiful paintings, I found myself singing along, feeling as if everyone could be like Marilyn Monroe, enjoying a highly satisfying breakfast, and I was able to relax in my room until checkout. ✨ Other Services Guests can reserve to take a free tour of the Oshima Shipyard from the car. Although it was canceled due to the shipyard's circumstances on the day, I would love to participate next time. The hotel allowed for a quiet and leisurely time, and I was happy with the kindness of the staff. Next time, I would love to stay again with family, friends, or on a special day. It was a wonderful hotel! Thank you.

The 100-point Hotel That My Husband Declared the Best Ever!

ららら

Stayed in January, 2025

This hotel is a bit beyond my usual budget, so normally I might not have chosen it. However, for this stay booked through HafH, there was a limited-time offer that included free drinks, available anytime. Besides soft drinks, they also had a variety of alcoholic beverages including sake, wine, and beer available for unlimited consumption. They mentioned it's a limited offer until March 31, 2025, so it's uncertain whether it will continue afterwards... The drinks after soaking in the hot springs are the best, unlike the all-you-can-drink at izakayas. I would be so happy if this continues. The room had an open-air bath with natural hot spring water flowing, and there was also an open-air bath in the large public bath, plus a fireplace in the lobby... I felt completely relaxed and my worries just melted away. It’s not just that the drinks are unlimited; it’s the pleasant service from the staff, the cleanliness of the facilities, and the relaxed atmosphere in Hakone that’s not crowded—all adding up to a perfect score of 100. It’s not just about being expensive or cheap, or just beautiful. We wanted a retreat, not sightseeing. I made the reservation hoping to bring some joy to my husband, who loves to drink and was tired from work... and it turned out to be a fantastic choice! I’d love to go back just the two of us, but I also want to take some friends and families and gather around the fireplace for a chat. It was a night filled with spaciousness, starlit skies, and tranquility, and I was truly moved. You need to be cautious if snow is forecasted. I brought tire chains just in case before it snowed and ended up not needing them, but I heard it snowed the next day.

Directly Connected to the Station! A Casual Hotel Perfect for a Cozy Stay

もす

Stayed in December, 2023

This hotel is directly connected to Nihon Odori Station on the Minato Mirai Line, making access excellent. Opened in June 2023, it is a very clean and stylish hotel! It's great that you don't have to worry about the weather. The guest rooms feature walls painted in vibrant colors, which is very distinctive. The coordinating cushions that match it are also lovely and elevate your mood. Even if you're not in an executive room, the refrigerator is equipped with a microwave and freezer, which is a favorite point since it means I can enjoy ice cream after a bath! The residence lounge, which you can use freely during your stay, is a spacious area, including an outdoor terrace. It's nice that there’s a coffee machine, allowing you to enjoy coffee breaks freely. Additionally, on the first floor of the hotel is Strasbourg, a chic patisserie that originated in Yokohama! They sell cute sweets with limited edition packages at the Nihon Odori store, so it's also recommended as a souvenir ◎

City Hotel Near the Station for a Fresh Toyama Stay

もす

Stayed in November, 2024

Opened in 2022, this hotel is just a 3-minute walk from the station, offering excellent accessibility! I had previously stayed here through the Hokuriku Support Discount before using HafH, so I repeated my visit◎ The arrangement of the desk & sofa and bed is a bit tight, but the room is functional and comfortable with a washing area bath and a coffee maker. The bedding is super fluffy and great! Instead of bottled water, there is a pitcher, and each floor has a water server with Toyama's natural water by the elevator. I used this natural water to brew coffee in my room, relaxing or working... Since it is close to the station, I had no trouble finding places to eat, making it an ideal base for my Toyama trip. The weather was rainy, so I was relieved that the access was good. I want to use this place as a base again and go to Toyama to eat delicious food~!

Three women decided to stay together and chat away! We stocked up on side dishes at the basement department store of Kawaramachi Station and enjoyed our hotel stay. The room even had a kitchen, so it was convenient for warming up and cooking a bit. Facing Shijo Dori, there were convenience stores nearby, making it safe even for late-night shopping.

A Solo Trip Enjoying a Healing Space

Ron

Stayed in March, 2025

The design of the hotel room is adorable! It was simple yet had a calming and healing feel to it! This was a 3-night, 4-day solo trip, and I stayed here on the last day! Exit 8 of Sinchon Station has an escalator, and there’s an elevator nearby! Moving with a suitcase is fine, but it’s an uphill walk towards the hotel. Along the way, there are places like Olyan and Art Box, and also a McDonald's and a donut shop! The hotel provided shampoo (with a vegan mark) and sleepwear, which was helpful! No transfers needed to get to Gangnam! It's about 20 minutes to Myeongdong, so the access is excellent. The terrace on the upper floors of the hotel seems enjoyable! It was full so I couldn't go, but I want to try it next time!

"Rebirth Journey" Breakfast with Local Ingredients at a Terrace Overlooking Rice Fields

さいちゃん

Stayed in October, 2024

As the name Suiden Terrace implies, this hotel is built in the 'rice fields'! When the fields are flooded, it seems to float on water. When the rice ears are ripe, you can see a view reminiscent of the last scene from 'Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind'. When I went, the rice ears swayed in the wind, shimmering gold! You could even make staying at this hotel your goal for visiting. Inside the hotel, there is a library and a sake bar. The lobby is spacious and also filled with many books! The view from the hot spring is of the rice fields too! Just relaxing and watching the changing scenery from morning till night can be refreshing. And the breakfast here is highly recommended. Even with a HafH stay, breakfast is included. The vegetables and yogurt from the Shonai region were very delicious. Unusually, you can also enjoy the glutinous brown rice known as Tsuyahime. Be sure to have it on the terrace!

OMO Hospitality Experience in the Heart of Kanazawa!!

Tomomi

Stayed in March, 2025

We stayed for two nights with my 60-year-old grandmother, my 5-year-old son, and myself. Great location! Nice atmosphere! Plenty of experiential menus! Definitely a place we will revisit 🩷 The location is about a 10-minute bus ride from Kanazawa Station, but it’s easy to get to all the sightseeing areas in Kanazawa! 🏨 A perfect location! My family loves OMO and we have visited many, but this one is on a whole other level 🩷 The lobby has interiors using Kanazawa's traditional Mizuhiki, with gently swaying lights creating an indescribable atmosphere✨✨ They even have a sanshin in the lobby, and my son had fun playing it. At 19:00, 20:00, and 21:00, there are three free tea hospitality sessions unique to Kanazawa (30 minutes each)! You can choose from two types every day, select by confirming the aroma, then they make it carefully right in front of you, and you can choose a treat, which is a delightful service for all generations 😆 Being an OMO fan, I couldn't help but order something special from their cafe. This time, I chose the seasonal strawberry 🍓 It was delicious and cute, just made my heart flutter. The amazement continued even when we returned to our room 🥹 Being able to store the open suitcase under the bed is fantastic 😃 All hotels should do this and just use a Roomba for cleaning (laughs) It felt more spacious without a bulky suitcase in the way. It's a raised floor, making it recommended for families with children. While there isn't a large public bath, there is a reasonably sized bath, so it wasn't an issue at all. By the way, there's a day-use bath at APA Hotel just a 2-minute walk away, and a sento (public bath) Matsunoyu is also within walking distance (they had flyers for free towel tickets in the lobby). Although it's a paid experience, I highly recommend the 1000 yen gold leaf letter experience 🩷 My 5-year-old son and my 60-year-old grandmother both said the hotel was the most fun memory in Kanazawa! I'm so glad I brought them, a wonderful accommodation that satisfies all generations 🩷

This was my first time using a twin room. As expected, I find comfort in OMO. It's strange how I feel that I won't make a mistake if it's OMO. The amenities are top-notch. They even had makeup remover, allowing me to relax in the room.

This is my favorite hotel, and I've stayed here three times while visiting Sapporo. When you enter the entrance, there's a bath salt bar that smells amazing. There are about 12 types available: 4 types of herbs and 8 types of bath salts. Small spoons and bags are provided, so you can take what you like. The bath salts can be used in the bath in your room. Near there, there's a welcome drink area with two types of detox water that you can enjoy. Both are refreshing and very delicious. The front desk staff are very kind and provide pleasant service. The room is very clean, with attention to detail in the cleaning. There are speakers playing relaxing sounds and small potted plants, making it a healing space. An air purifier is also provided. There’s a large public bath, allowing you to relax and unwind during your stay. Breakfast is famous for being able to make your own sandwiches, with mentai potatoes and several types of cheese, so you can create your own original sandwich. This is my favorite hotel, so I will stay here again on my next visit.

It was a wonderful inn

Stayed in August, 2024

We visited as a family of three. The room was quite spacious and the large public bath was beautiful. Maybe because it was summer vacation or close to the Obon holiday, there seemed to be a night festival, but we couldn't participate because of a thunderstorm. In the morning, there were soap bubbles at the entrance, and there was a fun setup that made the kids happy. I would love to visit again.

Hotels are no longer just for sleeping.

Haruka

Stayed in March, 2025

The HafH Travel Week, held from March 5th to 9th, 2025. As the base, I entrusted myself to the node hotel. "A hotel like the residence of an art collector"—this phrase is evident in every corner of the place. The entire space is imbued with the breath of art, and the aesthetic sense, calculated to perfection, is felt in every piece of furniture and dishware. A quiet and sophisticated world, just a step away from the bustling noise of Kyoto. Here, even time seemed to flow elegantly. For travelers, a hotel is often just a place to sleep. However, node hotel is different. From the moment you step in until the instant you fall asleep, everything becomes an "experience." The time spent dialoguing with the art adorning the walls elevates a mere stay to an experience of art appreciation. On the welcomed morning, the table displays a carefully selected array of bread and a one-plate meal lavishly adorned with Kyoto's rich ingredients. The exquisite taste, pleasing to both the eyes and the palate, deepened the aftertaste of the journey. For those who know the classics of Kyoto or those who want to encounter Kyoto for the first time, node hotel may be a place that gently opens a new door to Kyoto.
