Kinosaki Onsen Ichidaya

美味しくお料理楽しめました。

Great hotel w/great breakfast We stayed one night as a quick visit. The hotel is located at the end of the onsen strip. It's a older hotel. Lights are dimmer than the ones in the cities. We like that we get futons and sleep on the floor. Front desk staff speaks limited English, but they try their best to answer our questions. They will use a translator to help us understand if we have questions. They also loan out yukata for us to wear and we can onsen hop to other hotel onsen at no additional charge. We get a tour to our room from the hotel staff. Breakfast was absolutely fantastic, but you will need to reserve to get a spot. A lot of shops closed by 8 pm so book dinner at the hotel if it's available. We didn't stay long enough to enjoy the onsen at other hotels so will definitely return to try other onsens next trip. The shower room was super clean for an older hotel. Looks brand new!

I did not stay in this hotel but booked for my bother and his partner due to the one I stayed at was full. The location is very good as it is 5-10 minutes walk to the train station and on the main street of the hot spring town, close to shopping and the public baths. However, the room rate is not cheap, and if you want dinner and breakfast, you have to pay extra to purchase them.

お世話になりありがとうございました。 宿は良かったですが、夜中まで踏切の工事が行われて、うるさくて眠れなかったのが残念です。

チェックイン（15時少し前）に到着し年配の大女将らしき方が「まだ時間前だから荷物はその辺に置いといて」と指差し指示、預かり札も何も無し。夕食時は食事場所隣接の厨房で従業員さん達が大声でペチャクチャペチャクチャうるさいのなんの、配膳係の方は少人数でやっているから忙し過ぎるのか配膳しながら「ゼーゼーハーハー」息切れしながら食器をガチャガチャガチャガチャ引きずりながら状態で落ち着いて食事も出来ない状態。極め付けは朝食後（8時）部屋へ戻るなり間髪入れず扉をノックされ開けようとガタガタ、「何か忘れ物でもしたかな？」と思い「はい」と返答すると「すいませ〜ん宿泊代金精算してくださ〜い」と一言。客側としては「は？いきなり何言ってる？」となりますよね、しかもチェックアウトは10時。私達（他のお客さんも同じ扱いでしたが）が宿泊逃げでもすると思われたんでしょうかね（汗）とにもかくにも全くのんびりする事が出来ない宿でした。
