4-Star Hotels in Kochi Prefecture, Japan

The bathhouse is small, but the water temperature is just right. It's close to the shopping street, and parking is very convenient. The selection of amenities is extensive. While the self-service beverage area has a limited selection, the rest area is quite comfortable.

今回平日なのに周りのホテルが高くて同じくらい出すなら、ということでここに決定。 部屋は洋室か和室か未定だったので分からず、初めて一人で和室に。 綺麗な部屋で広い、いや一人では広すぎるかも。 トイレと風呂は別の部屋。にもかかわらず広い。 他のホテルと違うのは、ポットにお湯が入ってる状態でもう一つ冷水も用意してある。 エレベーターの隣に階段がある。火事の時など分かりやすい。 駐車場からいったん出してもらい帰ってきたら覚えていた。ナンバーが同じでしたのでと。脱帽です。 悪い所はないのかというと、トイレの手を洗うところの下の水道管が汚れかさびがあり残念。使用すると目立つ所なので要改善。 おすすめのホテルです。

The ”Yudono-Suiyokaku” at the Sancuiyuan Hotel is the only natural hot spring in Kochi Castle. Seasonal Tosa cuisine is served for dinner. It was a great stay and good food, and it was another wonderful day in Kochi.

When we first arrived the front desk told us that we reserved a smoking room. In the trip.com booking it does not say so though. The front desk said all similar rooms for non-smoking were booked out. We went up to the room but it smelled so bad that we asked agin for a different room showing them the booking. According to the hotel the booking was not directly forward to them by trip.com but by a different service therefore it varied from our actual booking. They were nice enough to give us a different room which was non-smoking. Unfortunately the room still smelled strange - at least no smoke smell. Additionally there was almost no hot water coming out from the tap. In the photo the hot water was fully turned on. Another issue was the parking. The one night stay fee was 1000 Yen (not for 24h). We checked out at 11 a.m. but decided to eat lunch in town and leave the car at the hotel parking. We took out the car at 2 pm and had to pay an additional fee of 1200 yen.

We had the most amazing time at Sodayama Onzen. It is a very special place to relax and unwind. Our room had a private onsen overloooking a stream in the forest. The rooms were very spacious and clean. We also enjoyed the amazing food! It was a very special experience but way too much, especially in the mornings. But it was a great experience of fine Japanese cuisine. The staff was so friendly, communication with google translate helped.

The hotel is in a very remote place. If you don't drive by yourself, it takes 15 minutes by bus. There are only a few buses a day, so transportation is inconvenient. The room is on the underground floor, facing the trees at the back. The interior of the house is decorated in wood color, but the bathroom is in the style of an old-style hot spring hotel. The hotel has indoor and outdoor hot springs, but the outdoor hot springs are not hot enough. Due to its remote location and few street lights around, you can see many stars when you look up.

The location is not in the city but it doesn't have much impact on self-driving, there is free parking. The lobby is grand, but I was a little disappointed when I entered the room. The Japanese-Western style room is large, but quite old. The carpet is very dirty, as is the sofa set. Everything else is just acceptable. The bed is super soft, and the toilet is small. A guy's knees can touch the wall when he sits on the toilet. The breakfast is rich in variety and the restaurant has a view of the sea and the harbor.

This is an old hotel in the suburbs of Kochi. It is the tallest building in the area at a glance. It is located on the banks of the Niyodo River and has a very good environment. The equipment looked old, there were small bugs on the tatami, and there were many small flying insect bodies in the open-air hot spring, but I didn't find it too disgusting, haha. The dinner set is delicious, and there is also Dandan noodles for midnight snacks.

The room I stayed in was very clean and tidy. There is a TV, free wifi, the bathroom is very clean, the hardware facilities are first-class, and the service is very good. I will definitely stay here again in the future.
