2-Star Hotels in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan

Although it is countryside, it is very close to the train station. About 2 minutes of walking. Front desk staff members were helpful to accommodate the room request. The bathroom in the room was quite clean. However, the shampoo and body soap in the room was low quality. But luckily you can go to the entrance area to pick up another variety of soap and shampoo. I appreciated that they had DHC skin care set in case you didn't bring it with you. There is a convenience store across from the hotel. So I was thankful for that. Otherwise, there is a bakery and an izakaya and that is it. 🙂

The location is very good, right next to the west exit of Katsuta Station. The hygiene and breakfast are good, but the exterior wall was under maintenance when I stayed there, and the windows were sealed with plastic and could not be opened.

After visiting Tohoku Aomori, I decided to check in the night before so that I could go to the National Seaside Park early the next morning to see the white butterflies. Please note that you have to climb more than 20 stairs to get to the front desk. I was dragging a big bag alone. Going up the stairs is really killing me! There is an elevator in Shadian that goes directly to the room, but the room is also very old. A stay of just over 200 yuan a night is enough. The free breakfast on the second day surprised me. It was in buffet format, very rich and delicious, and the quality was many, many times better than Toyoko Inn! If you don’t care about the stairs and the old room, it’s really worth it!

It was a lovely family stay in this property.The room was Japanese style which was very wide . There was a public bath onsen and private family onsen with the beautiful sea view,which we used comfortably as it was not busy because of the week day I guess. The train station is also a few minutes from the hotel . Overall we enjoyed it..

Good breakfast. Nice public bath. Was quiet when I was there. Early june. Sadly no dinner arranged. And didn't want to drive the narrow road out to town. Good thing they sold many types of cup noodles. So we a simple cup noodle dinner with their melon cider drink. Highly recommend to try their melon cider.. Staff very helpful.

We loved our overnight stay here. We slept with windows slightly open and it was wonderful to hear the ocean waves from our bedroom. We stayed at many different ryokans, but the food here was the best. Downside is that there isn't a good onsen here. Very small and no view. We just used the bath in our own room.

駅から近いからいいじゃん！ 朝ごはん無料だからいいじゃん！ と思えたら丁度いいです。 古めかしい建物に入ると何度も使っていても書かなきゃいけないチェックインの用紙。どこまで書いてくださいと言われないので永遠と全て書いています。ここまで個人情報知りたいの？と思うぐらい書いてます。 部屋についているアメニティーとは別にエレベーターの前に数々のシャンプーなど置いてあるが部屋に持っていく事は禁止されている。 じゃあどうすれば？ここがポイントで、自分の好みのシャンプーなどを見つけたら、透明なおかずケースみたいなのに入れていくという斬新なスタイル。おそらくまるごと持って帰る客がいたのだろう。 しかし、チェックインした自分からすれば大変迷惑である。スーツケースで右手を奪われ、左手でルームキーやお財布などを持っている。人間からすれば両手が使えない状況の中でシャンプーをケースに入れてこぼれないように、お部屋まで持っていくことを考える人はいるのだろうか？ そうではなく、シャンプーをその場で頭に塗りたくればいいのか？ 誰か答えを教えてください。

The hotel staff is enthusiastic and the attitude is comfortable, but the hotel room is old but overall satisfaction. Next time you have the opportunity, you will choose to stay first, but the hot spring equipment is poor, such as shampoo shower gel.

It's an old building, but I don't care. There is a convenience store in front of you. The parking lot can be parked in front of the entrance, but about 10 cars. Amenities are shampoo and rinse set. Body soap is soap. If you are particular, bring it. The amount is within 4000 yen and is very satisfied.

Excellent service, room is clean and same as photo. Acceptable for single traveller. Staff is nice and allows providing some buffer time for late checkout.
