Hotel Hot Springs di Noboribetsu

This traditional Japanese ryokan features a private onsen and is located about 8 minutes on foot from the main road with restaurants and 20 minutes from the entrance to Jigokudani (Hell Valley). The interior is beautifully maintained in classic style, with tatami flooring throughout the common areas and guest rooms, which are furnished with comfortable futon bedding. The rooms are clean, spacious, and well-equipped with amenities. Anything not already provided can be taken from the selection near the reception. Guests receive a yukata to wear around the ryokan and to the onsen. Complimentary drinks are available at reception, though they request you enjoy them in your room rather than common areas. The gender-separated onsen, while small, has everything needed for a relaxing soak. Each bathing area includes both indoor and outdoor pools, and they alternate daily between men's and women's use. During my stay, it was never crowded. One disappointment was being unable to book the in-room dinner service upon morning arrival, as it was apparently too late to arrange. Those interested should probably reserve at least a day in advance. Overall, it's a comfortable, authentic ryokan experience with superb service and good facilities.

The hotel is clean, nice and beautiful. We stay one night and we choose the tatami style bedroom. This is the first time we try the tatami and we love it. We having our dinner in our room, and the staff is very helpful to prepare the foods to us. This is a very good and special experience that we have. We are enjoying with stay here.

This place is amazing and I really don't understand why it has such a low rating. Rooms may be a little small but are big enough for us plus 2 large packs. Beds and pillows are comfy, generous shower/toilet space, stylish yukata/obi.The onsen are great (including free access to the multitude of options across the road at the Takimotokan hotel). And the on-site bakery and cafe are fabulous. Close to attractions plus shops and restaurants. Very friendly and helpful staff too. Free parking. Very reasonably priced too. Really enjoyed our 2 nights here. Would highly recommend.

For a weekend 2 day onsen break, this hotel is perfect.  Noboreitsu is a small place and the location of this hotel is very good (at the bottom of a hill right next to the bus terminus).  The single room itself is small but adequate albeit retro, but the onsen facilities are pretty good and despite the large commercial size of the hotel, the onset is never busy.  The breakfast and dinner buffets are decent, but as it barely changes, you will get bored pretty quickly after 2 days.  Jikokudani is less than 10 minutes away by foot - if you enjoyed this during the day, it is super-pretty in the evening and the evening walk makes a lovely post-dinner saunter (see photos).  You will pass the main shopping street on the way there and back (most shops close at around 9pm).   The only downside to the hotel is the sheer number of tour groups that check in/out.  4-6pm and early morning 8-10am are just rammed with tour buses/groups and the hotel lifts are packed as a result.  

The hotel seems to be renovated with good wifi coverage, and there is a smart tv in the room which one can log into Netflix account. The bedding is thin, so one will feel the floor when lying on it. Dinner may not be the most impressive, but still good value at the price point they are charging.
