Hotel Dengan Spa di Kagawa Prefecture, Japan

Let's start with the location: the hotel is right across from the airport shuttle stop, and there's a new, pretty affordable BBQ joint nearby that's worth checking out. As for the airport shuttle across the street, you can catch the bus after 10 AM in the morning. For the buses after 9:50 AM, the chances of getting a seat at this stop are very slim, and you'll likely have to sit in the very back. The buses after 10 AM are very empty, so you can sit wherever you like. Now, about the hotel facilities: they initially gave us room 605, and the smell of urine in the bathroom was disgusting. After we spoke to the front desk, they immediately moved us to another room, which had no strange odors. The bed was quite comfortable, and the room was spacious. The hotel's top floor has a hot spring bath, and the washing machine is also located there, though it seems rarely used. Regarding hotel services: in the evening, they offer popsicles on the top floor, and in the morning, they provide lactic acid drinks similar to Yakult. After 9 PM, they even serve complimentary ramen. Overall, Dormy Inn is definitely worth a stay.

Although the hotel is a bit old, it is basically well maintained, the service is very good, and the sunset is intoxicating. It is recommended to include the buffet dinner, which has rich food and tastes very good. The room was medium, but the bathroom was a bit small. You can go to the public bath to soak in hot springs.

The hotel is located a bit far from the city center, but the staff were friendly and the breakfast was delicious. The bed was firm and the pillows were comfortable. The water is tap water (you get it from the sink), so if you find it inconvenient, I recommend buying it at a mart or convenience store like me. The public bath is smaller than I thought, but the water was cleanly managed. There is a Halows mart nearby, and you can rent a bike for free for 2 hours. There is a basket in the front of the bike, and if you buy a lot of water like me, you can put it on the back seat, but there is no strap to secure it. I went with a backpack, so I put 3 2L bottles of water in the front basket and brought the rest of the items in my bag.

The hotel is not far from the station and there is a hotel shuttle bus, which is very convenient. On the way from the station to the hotel, there is a shopping street, which is very easy to shop. Both breakfast and dinner are buffets. The public baths and private baths are both very good and highly recommended.

I was surprised by how small the room was for a hot spring ryokan. With two suitcases, there was barely any room to walk. There was no Wi-Fi signal in the room, and the explanation given was that too many guests were using it simultaneously that night. Wi-Fi was only available in the hallway and lobby. Although the staff tried hard to resolve the issue, there was no solution, so we had to use our own mobile data (as an apology, they gave us a small souvenir when we checked out). Additionally, the 'one night, two meals' package... At over ¥2200, it was ¥1200 more expensive than just the room, but both dinner and breakfast were very mediocre. Compared to a hot spring ryokan I stayed at previously on Shodoshima (which wasn't great either, but at least the food was refined), the meals here were far inferior. There were only three small slices of sashimi, and there were even fish scales on the fish. For ¥1200, two people could have had many better dining options outside. The hot spring was decent, but nothing particularly impressive.

This 400-year-old onsen ryokan is a bit of a mixed bag. The location is definitely superb, and all drinks in the mini-bar are complimentary. Taking the path behind the ryokan to Konpira-san offers a unique and scenic experience, and the complimentary hiking poles at the entrance are a nice touch. However, I have to complain about the room facilities. The curtains were too sheer, making the entire room very bright in the morning. It seemed like they should have been blackout curtains, but they were faulty and couldn't be pulled down. After a long journey, I was hoping to get some good rest, but the bright curtains made it impossible – instead of waking up with the roosters, I woke up with the light! The food portions were very small, and there wasn't much variety. People with a big appetite would definitely not be full, and even those with a smaller appetite might struggle. Personally, I felt the freshness of the food was a bit lacking, and the kitchen's exhaust system was poor, as I could smell cooking fumes in the room.

Riverside Hotel, exceeded expectations, cost-effective, detailed and complete, clean, and has a swimming pool, a very good experience, recommended, the breakfast environment is also very good, although there are fewer choices, it is still good

The hotel is very comfortable, the room is large, the balcony is the sea, there is a washing machine and various tableware. Pajamas and towels will be changed every day. It is necessary to pay attention to the old ones in the room entrance. There is a self-service bar in the lobby of the East Building, a swimming pool on the second floor of the main building in the West Building, and the hotel provides swimsuits.

1. The hot spring hotel is surrounded by mountains, offering beautiful and tranquil scenery. 2. The staff is very friendly and courteous. 3. The rooms come with private, authentic hot spring water baths, making them convenient and comfortable. 4. The meals served in the ”stay, stay, two meals” package are beautifully presented and delicious! 5.
