Hotel Dengan bar di Aomori Prefecture, Japan

Check-in was very smooth. In fact, they allowed us to check in earlier - about 1 to 2 hours earlier, I think. The room was already ready, so they allocated it to us when we arrived. The room itself was rather small but functional and clean, so we don’t really have any complaints other than it being a bit small. I guess this is Japanese standards. The pricing is fairly more expensive than the inns across the road, perhaps because of the location and also because it is very new. The property itself has a very nice onsen. The female onsen had a lot of apples floating in it, which was a very nice touch to showcase Aomori apples. The front desk staff are very nice and very friendly. They also have staff who can speak Chinese. Not that I am Chinese, but I can speak some Chinese better than Japanese, which I can’t speak at all. Nevertheless, the staff could converse in English, or at least some basic English. There’s free yoga and some classes, but we didn’t utilise them as it’s not really useful for tourists who would rather spend time outside the hotel. This seems more suited for locals who want a short getaway, but still a very lovely touch. Breakfast is paid separately and does not come with the room, so there is no comment on that. The property provides Nespresso capsules in the room, and there is also a better Nespresso machine near the check-in counter. I also love that they provide water for free without having to pay extra. The lounge is available for everybody and overlooks the bridge. They provide some free snacks and drinks depending on the timing - different items in the morning and in the evening. That being said, there is no alcohol being served. Also, the coffee there is very bad. I don’t understand why they don’t put the Nespresso machine in the lounge since they have one at the lobby. Overall, everything was quite perfect for this hotel. In fact, the location was the most perfect part. Once you exit the train station, you enter an elevator that goes up to the hotel. Since it was winter, I was afraid I would need to drag my bags for a long time, but it’s right outside the exit after you tap your card and turn left. If I remember correctly, the elevator is right there and there is no need to go outside at all. However, there are only two elevators servicing the entire building, so there might be some waiting time. I would advise leaving earlier if you have a train to catch. The only reason this is not a full-star review is because I requested about a one-hour late checkout due to our train time, and they told us we needed to pay - if I remember correctly, ¥2,000 per hour. I felt they were very rigid about the 11 am checkout time. To be honest, even if they had given it to us, we probably wouldn’t have used it anyway, as we later decided to change our train time to leave Aomori, since there isn’t much to do here. Still, the rejection and inflexibility made us feel very uneasy and unwelcome. I think they could have handled this better by being less rigid and more human. So that’s minus points from us. After all, this is part of hospitality, and it doesn’t hurt.

八戸三社祭と青森ねぶたまつり目的で宿泊しました。 ホテルからお祭り会場まで徒歩5分ほどで、コンビニも居酒屋もたくさん周りにあり便利でした！ホテルは本八戸駅から徒歩10分ほどの位置にあり新幹線のとまる八戸駅までタクシーで毎回2800円くらいかかってしまうので青森駅のねぶたに行くには八戸駅周辺の方が良かったかなと思いました。 朝ごはんは和食洋食があり、せんべい汁や青森のお米が食べられて大満足です。 お部屋も掃除が行き届いていて清潔でした。母と2人旅で利用しましたがまた是非利用したいと思えるホテルでした。

Walaupun bahagian dalam hotel agak ketinggalan zaman, jelas sekali ia sangat bersih. Penghawa dingin lama di dinding memerlukan sedikit penyingkiran serat, tetapi itu nampaknya masalah biasa di kebanyakan hotel. Kakitangan adalah sama ada warga tempatan yang lebih tua atau profesional muda. Penginapan kami termasuk sarapan pagi dan makan malam, kedua-duanya sangat lazat. Saya pasti akan mempertimbangkan untuk tinggal di sini lagi jika saya melawat lagi.

冬天的十和田湖並沒有太多景點，到處不缺荒廢了的房屋，感覺有些荒涼⋯⋯ 酒店設施不錯，有提供旅行裝的洗髮水沐浴露及護膚品，另外房間也有冷熱水飲水機（非常方便沖杯麵），大浴場只有室內並沒有露天溫泉，房間衛生不錯，應該是有重新裝修的。 最不好的地方是晚膳，晚膳是在酒店附設的壽司餐廳進食，但整個晚膳只有一個前菜（很少的一碟）、一個味噌湯和10件壽司，就算是食量比較少的女生也不夠的，而整個湖區附近方圓都沒有一間便利店，所以晚上如果肚餓的話只能夠在酒店的自動販賣機購買急凍食物，但價錢一點也不便宜⋯⋯ 雖然酒店有提供每一位住客一個迷你杯麵作宵夜，但那個迷你杯麵真的非常迷你，相信只有三口就吃完！ 所以忠告每一位住這間酒店的朋友們，請務必自備食品到酒店。

Excellent location next to the JR station. Room is spacious, superior bathroom with double sinks. Breakfast is just amazing! Coin laundry very convenient

Room is spacious. Have a sofa and coffee desk. This good for us to pack our luggage.Bed is comfortable for a good night sleep. Room have a good view of the sea. Breakfast japanese style with lot of varieties. Parking at hotel car park. Parking charge paid at reception when check-out.

帰省で友人と別部屋で泊まりました。 昔からあるホテルで泊まったことはなかったけど、内装をリノベしたようです。セミダブルベッド？だけど扉開けたら通路が狭すぎて圧迫感を覚えました。。たぶん広かった客室を狭くして増やしたのかな？そこが残念。 狭い通路にキャリーケースをギリギリ広げて出し入れしました。 ロビーが開放的でソファや個々の椅子がふかふかキレイ。まあまあの広さの浴場がある。スタッフは親しみやすくサービスが良い。そこもよかった。 三日町にあり、バス停もすぐそこ。駅からは坂道ありで15分くらい歩きます。でも歩くのも好きなので立地はgood!!お酒飲んですぐねれます。 今度はオフシーズンにもう少しお安めの時に泊まりたいかな。いい旅になりました！ありがとうございます！

We love the view from our room on the 7th floor. The free wifi is fast in the room, around the hotel, and in the restaurant. We had buffet dinner and breakfast included room rate. We enjoyed both meals. All travelers must added meals with their room because there is no restaurant or convenience stores within 10km radius. There is a gift shop and convenience stores located inside the hotel. We recommend this hotel; and we’ll come back again.

We thought it's going to be fresh in August up the mountain but it wasn't. Very hot and without air-conditioning you'll be suffering. Rooms are tiny and it barely fit 4 people. Road to get there is rough so make sure you have an off road car (the last 5 min only). The onsen is insanely beautiful especially the women's. Food was pre-served and left out in the heat to stand. Didn't look particularly appealing. Shared bathrooms.

This is really a great hotel. Staff are all nice, hotel’s facility is also good. Free drink and snacks are available in hotel lounge. Highly recommended to anyone who planned to tour in Aomori!
