Comme si nous étions de la famille

8.0

La gentillesse incroyable de tout le personnel a été le point fort de notre séjour. C’est de loin l’endroit de tous ceux que nous avons visité pendant notre voyage au Japon, où nous nous sommes sentis le mieux accueillis, ce qui est beaucoup dire car nous nous sommes sentis bienvenus absolument partout. Ceci dit, ici c’est un accueil comme si nous faisions parti de la famille. Nous avons également beaucoup aimé les bains privés de l’hôtel, qui sont beaucoup plus agréables que ceux du village. Nous avons également apprécié la diversité des soupers qui nous ont été servis avec la demi-pension. Malgré que nous soyons restés quelques soirs, nous n’avons pas eu le même souper deux fois. Une option japonaise et une option “western” sont aussi offertes au déjeuner, et il y a de la variété à tous les jours pour ces deux options.

Nous avons moins aimé la grandeur de la chambre où nous nous sentions un peu plus coincés. Les aires communes, et la chambre sont un peu défraichis aussi et mériteraient d’être remis un peu à jour, malgré que tout soit tout de même très propre. Le rapport qualité prix nous a semblé un peu élevé a vu de cela.

スタッフの皆さんの対応がとても良かったです。湯量がとても多く温泉は最高でした。

おかみさんの対応が悪し。常連は、大切にするけど、いちげんさんは無視。あの態度はどうかなー。
