The breakfast and dinner is set menu instead of a buffet style.

The Japanese room is spacious and the outdoor onsen is nicer than many other hotels. We had a great time there. The shuttle bus is very convenient. The hotel is actually very big witha library, a table tennis room and and a shop.

The non smoking room has smoky smell so I have to open the window.

The outdoor obsen was very nicely decorated with beautiful trees and landscapes. The shared bathroom is very pleasant and clean. The reception is very friendly. They gave you nice bath clothes and cute baskets for your onsen experience. Will come back again.

The hotel needs renovation. It's not bad per se, but it is a bit run down and old. We booked it because of the price and I can't complain here, but for travellers that are a bit more picky you might want to look at something else.

Situated in a Kusatsu Onsen hot spring area, the hotel is a bit two sided. Overall, having our own hot spring onsen was insanely good, however it was not tattoo friendly (but they allowed to use it when the tattoos are covered or at night when there are less people without covering). The staff were super helpful and the services provided by the hotel include a bus that takes you to the centre and back (which is useful considering that it's a 15 minute walk from the centre up a mountain), bus terminal transfer, all necessary amenities, etc. For those confused how to get there - the easiest way is Ueno - Naganoharakusatsuguchi Kusatsu Limited Express from Tokyo followd by a 30 minute bus ride and a short walk from the bus station.

The rooms are showing their age. Paint was worn off of the baseboards in many places, so easy to fix to give a better impression. Power went out in the whole town for about 30 minutes. The staff did not make any attempt to explain what was happening, guests had to go up to the check in desk to find out what was happening.

I did not rebook any meals and was told at checking it had to be arranged 24 hours in advance.

Don’t rely on the WiFi, the signal was very weak and intermittent in our room.

Nice place with great breakfast and Onsen facilities. Very helpful and polite staff.

Room service need to improve

Location

Stayed in July 2024

Well, you can not improve rooms, so may be do more on a free-of-charge entertainment.

Good value for the money. Surprise that table tennis was at extra charge... Food is GREAT. Facility is old but OK. Rotemburo is really good. Water is very rich with minerals. That is the best point. Bus to the Kusatsu center but walking is also 10-15 minutes, quite enjoyable.

Japanese style room was dirty and did not include a private bath tub or shower.

Western style room was great! The tatami room had ample room for several futons, in addition to a couple beds outside the tatami room. Open concept with sliding doors was great for our group (6 people) so we can chat and hangout freely, and slide the doors shut at night for privacy. Breakfast was good. The outdoor onsen was really nice.

The hotel is not so close to the center.

The hotel is a bit old, but clean.

The building needs refurbishing.

The services and the onsen were great

Stayed in October 2023

The room's smell of tobacco was tolerable but the smell coming from the hallway was beyond that. Also the room seems quite old, this hotel would profit a lot even from a shallow renovation.

The staff was super friendly and the onsen was great.

Since it's a traditional inn with futons, any noise on the floor travels across the entire floor and rings in your ears when you sleep on the futon. I'm not entirely sure, but it could also be from the floor above us. The breakfast staff were pretty indifferent, especially toward the younger local adult guests. But since the hospitality industry is still recovering from impacts from the pandemic such as labor shortage and surviving economically, I sorta understand, but was still surprised by the indifference when I thought Japan was known for its friendliness. Just may be not so friendly to locals or "fake" with locals? :(

The breakfast was good and used local ingredients. The hotel has free shuttle bus services to one of their other hotel near the Yubatake, the Kusatsu Onsen Daitokan, and also to the ski area. The outdoor onsen is nice, though small. We were lucky the rooms didn't reek of cigarette smoke as they do not seem to have nonsmooking rooms. Although reception doesn't really speak English, she tried her best to assist us and we communicated using the Google translate app. I thank her patience for communicating with foreign guests such as us who don't speak Japanese. Even the shuttle bus driver was friendly! Can't be said for the breakfast staff though.

The only downside for this resort is the ageing building. In our room some of the doors had small cracks / marks. This could have been repaired.

The resort location is very close to the center area. Also the resort provided shuttle bus service to all the major sightseeing places. The resort has all other amenities very good Onsen; gaming area; restaurant. The best part is the Staff they are very helpful (even though in English) and also guided us with all of our queries. I would say its money worth spending.

We are a 5 ppl group but got a small room, which was technically all covered with futons.

The outdoor bath was really pleasant and open all night for us to take it easy. The shuttle bus to Yubatake was always available.

Wont recommend people to travel to the hotel on foot after hours of travel by bus/train/plane even though Google maps indicate it's just 10 minutes away from the Bus Terminal simply because it's a somewhat steep uphill location. Location from the nearest convenience store is a bit inconvenient due to the uphill roads. Wifi connection is a bit inconsistent for those who might want to do a bit of work on the computer.

A 10 minute walk (mostly uphill) from the Kusatsu Bus Terminal with helpful staff and a shuttle bus to the Yubatake town center for convenience. The included outdoor onsen is also a huge plus for those who want to immediately dive into relaxing in hot springs. The free to use yukata and geta sandals provided by the hotel is also a nice touch for those who want to really immerse in staying in an onsen village. The traditional Gunma-styled breakfast is also a great way to get into Gunma cuisine.

The staff were generally very good, other than one night. A lady suffered a serious injury to her head after passing out in the sauna and was visibly bleeding and in need of help but the hotel staff refused to cooperate.

The onsen is nice
