Hotel di Minamiminowa

Having looked at different portals this hotel still seemed to be the best of it around here. If this is the case don’t go here. To start with the few positive things: The front desk is very polite, rooms are clean as usual in Japan and it is quiet. The breakfast offers for Japanese business hotel standards reasonable selection. Don’t ask for knife orfork. Not available. Considering the location, the fact that this is a business hotel, for the service offered ¥13,800 are too expensive. The bathroom is a very cheap bath, very small. The bed is like a wooden plank, hard. Only one small pillow. That’s cover uncomfortable. Will not come back

Stayed over for a night as it was one of the hotels nearest to the shuttle bus terminals to get to Komagane. Location wise, very convenient, only about 10 minutes drive to the bus terminal/ bus stops. There is also a COCO curry restaurant just beside or if you can take the car out, it will be just a few minutes drive to many sauce-katsu don places - this is famous in the area. It was a little pricey considering the current situation but at least everything was clean. Size of the rooms were standard Japanese size. Free parking too. There is a manmade onsen on the ground floor. Seems just like a big bathing spa though since the onsen isnt natural. Went at a good time and the onsen was empty. That was good. Covid-19 prevention was good, plastic disposable hand gloves were provided for the breakfast buffet in the morning. Overall, just another normal Japanese chain hotel but the location made up for it, if you are heading to Komagane.

お仕事ではなく趣味のツーリング、信州周りで使わせていただきました。連休中ということもあって同じような方もたくさん、それだけツーリングにも向いているということでしょうか？ 到着日は寒かったのですが大浴場であったまれました。真夏だとしっかり汗を流せるでしょうか。 Wi-Fiの繋がりもよく、朝食バイキングも美味しくて、減点するところがありません。 またいきます。

The staff was wonderful from check-in, parking, and luggage to advice about the area, the magnificient seasonal bonsai arrangements, and the kamisan's (hotel mistress) care that everything be done perfectly. The meals were kaiseki, delicious and in beautiful dishes. The Onsen was an indoor bath with an outdoor rotenburo looking at the hillside (lovely with snow, I think) with tsutsuji and, lucky timing: rare Katakuri blooming. The Natural waters felt like healing qualities, smooth skin. I hesitated to reserve this hotel because I didn't like the Bed-making in the picture. I felt if it was a little ”hands-off”. Would the cleaning, etc. also be ”hands off?” But there were no problems there, clean, and modern, non-smoking room, even the windows were clean. But I took one star off the rating because the bed was rock-hard. Futon on tatami might be softer...

なんとこのホテル、日本では珍しい2階建てのビジネスホテル。居抜きなのか新規なのかはわかりませんが、そんじょそこらにゃないホテル。よってエレベーターがないというのもこれまたヒジョーに珍しい。1Fは駐車場が目の前なため遮光カーテンを開けると丸見えですが、それ以外はいたってノーマルなビジネスホテルかと思います。コーヒー無料、朝食無料、WOWOW無料はルートインの目玉サービスですが、朝食は無料の割にクオリティ高いし、ビジネス利用やエコノミーな旅なら全く問題ないのでは。駅から少し歩くが、車利用であれば食べる場所は無数にあり、ソースカツ丼、ローメンと伊那は名物も多く、そばで有名な高遠へも車で20分ほどと近い。 駐車場はEVスタンド2台分あり。 インターすぐそばのルートインと間違えないように注意です。

Situated 10 minutes walk from Komagane eki. Public bath for man, roughly host 5 to 6 guess. Breakfast, Japanese buffet type, not much refill (may be not much guess). Request for certain refill food is ok. A good transit stop to trekking of Mount Lomagatake 駒岳.

So I don’t like to give bad reviews for hotels and stuff but. I have been in this hotel for 3 weeks (training at my company). And let’s say all the beautiful pictures they show you are fake. I arrived in a room 1515 fifth floor, the bed is old, we feel the springs inside almost going out it’s terrible. When the staff doesn’t even speak English, when I speak Japanese they looked me with big eyes almost making me feel that what I say was lies. I had to change because the room isn’t comfortable, there’s dirt on the wall, the window has also mold on its corner. Like nothing is good. And that’s for all the rooms. I didn’t know Japan was that bad for having proper spaces... anyway. The bathroom is okay, but they don’t give you hand soap, q tips, or even when I asked for new toilet paper they argued for 3 minutes on whether I’m lying or not. What? The morning’s menu is a self service with a lot of different things, but all of it is cold, I don’t get it. For us westerns, we have some bread and jam, so I could eat but apart from this it’s mostly Japanese and. I repeat, cold. The coin laundry / dryer are maybe for saving us time but it stinks, the “Senzai” aka detergent has no smell, it’s expensive also. You’d rather go to the outside coin laundry but just for the sake of it I tried. I’m 100% honest in what I say. This hotel shouldn’t be even around 3 stars for such service. Some of the personnel are really a bunch of liars / they look down at you. I’ve been to many hotels in Japan and by far, the worst service in such a beautiful place for tourists. Sad.

夜のホタルツァーがとても良かったです。個人で行ったとしますと、あんなには見られなかったと思いますし、道もよくわからず、危なかったと思います。案内して下さった方が親切で、いろいろ質問にもお答えいただき、大変楽しく過ごしました。（一人での参加でしたがー）辰野町が町を挙げて蛍に力を入れている、ということがよくわかりました。これからも貴重な資源を守って下さると有難いな、と思います。 お料理は標準的、と思いますが、お値段もそんなに高くなく、お部屋も綺麗でした。温泉の質は大変良かったです。眺めは最高。 それに無人駅である伊那新町に送って下さったのは、旅の良い思い出の一つとなりました。チェックアウトが10時というのは他より1時間は早いように思いますし、ゆっくりするにはせめて11時であってほしいな、とは思いました。

We spent a night here to hike to the top of Mt Kiso - Komagatake. I seriously recommend a night stay here as it includes a delicious and huge dinner and breakfast. There is also an onsen to lead after the hike. The views from the rooms are amazing as you look out at the Senjojiki Cirque. The room set up is Japanese style using tatami mats, but they are comfortable and the quilt I’d very warm. The dining area also overlooks the beautiful mountains. Being able to see sunset and sunrise is wonderful. We had a special time here.
