Homestays σε Saga Prefecture, Japan

This unique, unmanned hotel is located in front of Saga Station. The rooms are equipped with Aladdin and microwave ovens. You can even see Saga Station from the rooms!

This place is about a 5 to 10-minute walk from Takeo Onsen Station. As other reviews mentioned, it's quite old. The air conditioning, in particular, could use some attention. Although it's a ryokan, it seems to operate with a small staff. Breakfast is simple; it's a bit disappointing that there's no meat, but it genuinely offers a light morning meal. Unfortunately, the hot spring water is a circulated, heated, and disinfected type. Nevertheless, how should I put it... it feels like a place that put a lot of effort into it despite a small budget. The staff are very friendly, and the facilities on the first floor are interesting.

At first I thought the room was small But the actual live view is very large Definitely enough for 3 people to sleep Also the skin is very smooth after soaking in hot spring water Skate over skateboards! Will consider staying again next time! No complaints

For this price, including two meals, I think this hotel offers excellent value for money. The room size is decent, and being able to enjoy the hot springs is a real bonus. Honestly, there's nothing to complain about. Plus, the hotel even offers free parking in advance. The room itself was pretty standard for a Japanese-style hotel, so I didn't bother taking any photos. Dinner was a buffet with a huge variety of dishes. The photos only show a small selection of what I chose; the actual spread was much more extensive.

Walking distance from the bus stop With shuttle bus to JR station Nice place, good cleanliness, with private onsen in the room

Overall, I had a very pleasant experience at this hotel. It is a large hotel and the price was reasonable for the quality of the stay. The highlight for me was the cleanliness. The hotel also boasts a fantastic amenity: a rooftop onsen (hot spring). It was incredibly relaxing and offered a great way to unwind after a long day of travel. The main downside, however, was the dining options. While convenient, both the breakfast and dinner buffets were quite expensive. There are probably more affordable local options nearby if you are looking to save on meals.

The twin room I booked was western style, similar to old three-star hotels in China. The hot spring on the top floor was very comfortable. I booked breakfast and dinner, but was disappointed that there was no Saga**. They substituted fish for pork, which showed that they paid attention to the wishes of the guests. There are many hot spring hotels nearby, but it's just my personal preference. I don't like this type very much. There wasn't a single cherry blossom in bloom... In addition, the hotel accepts Korean groups. It feels like many comments about Kyushu are about the unhappiness of encountering Korean groups.

It had a proper beginning, middle, and end. Upon arrival, I was kindly shown to my room, but it was different from the one I had booked. They explained it was a mistake on Trip's note-taking side and upgraded me to a better room. Although it was a bit of a waste of time, that wasn't too bad. The problem was that the building we were in was extremely cold. The heating with just the fan heater was also a bit insufficient. Please keep in mind that it was a room with an open-air ryokan. Personally, I liked the staff's service and especially the breakfast.

The hot spring temperature was just right, making it easy to get in, and it was great to be able to relax in the in-room bath! The room was also incredibly clean and stylish, and most importantly, spacious! It was also very practical and simply standard! The meals, both dinner and breakfast, were both visually stunning and delicious♪ Since my only option for a relaxing trip was to enjoy a hot spring, I was very satisfied. It seemed like there weren't many guests staying that day, but that made it feel like we had the place to ourselves, just as a family, and the staff were all very kind and pleasant. For those who want to really relax without a packed schedule, I recommend the hotel, as you can enjoy the spa and gym to the fullest! However, I did think it was a bit lacking that there were only two chairs and two hair dryers in the bathroom...
