Hot spring Hotels in Chiba Prefecture, Japan

It’s a late arrival at Narita Airport. I opted to stay a night at this hotel before check-out the next morning to catch a train to enter Tokyo Metro. Spacious room. There is Family Mart at the hotel lobby. Pleasant stay and I must say a really quick Check-In process. Yes there is shuttle bus to-fro Narita Airport. I must say, it’s very cheap.

Check-In It was a very smooth experience. The process was completed in under 4minutes. The staff was well prepared with the room keys, offered a letter about the dinning options and hotel facility. At the reception the team included all Japanese speak but with multiple language skills like English, Hindi, Nepali, etc. Hotel reception also offers the guest to buy the face mask of various character to choose from. Room It was my repeat stay in this property. The room was prepared immaculately. The amenities were placed in the room included small water bottle, iron/iron board, mini vault for storing valuables, the alarm clock with facility to play songs. The bathroom also had bathing amenity like shower gel, hand soap bar, shampoo/conditioner. The room was also poorly lit as 3 of the lights were not working. In the complete room it was just 1 bulb that was functional. Room Service menu It houses a deep illustration of food items available for children/ adult. Besides that it also gives multiple option of beverages. The price are little bit expensive as compared to other properties in the region. Business center The hotel offers the use of computer on the mezzanine floor. It has 2 station, i.e 1 for English keyboard and 1 for Japanese keyboard. Sadly there is no printing facility. There is not printer provided, however if anyone want to print they need to sent the email to front desk email and they will print for the customer. It leaves me with a thought about the privacy of the documents. Hmmm. Something to look into. Restaurant Dinning The hotel practice social distancing. It offers the use of hand sanitiser, plastic gloves, and face mask. The ground floor restaurant is big with seating facility of over 75pax. The staff was very polite and humble in approach. While waiting for my turn I was promptly attended, asked if I would like a dine in or take away. I was escorted to a table of my choice, offered the menu and poured the ice cold water. The food was tasty, as per Japanese cuisine. The portion was substantially big, with a lot of accompaniments. Towards the end of the dinning experience it got busy with a lot of customers came in to dine. Overall a good experience. Checkout The hotel practices social distancing. The check out was prompt. With no bills to settle they offer a drop box to put the key. Points of concerns:- 1. The room was not as per my expectation this time as the toilet bowl was dirty with black strains in it. 2. The room was not sufficiently lit. 3. Printing facility to maintain privacy of documents.

Good value, no frills hotel room with everything you need. The spa is perfect to relax after a long day out. Comes with hot water kettle. Left means it’s boiling, and right side means to keep warm.

Nice hotel near Disney, they have free shuttle to the park, service was great! I wished I had paid attention about the spa earlier! Really nice and cheap, the convenience store in the second floor comes handy

I was impressed with how clean the entire facility was! It was very close to the station and very convenient! The only thing that bothered me was that the mattresses in the cabins were a bit hard! I'd definitely like to use it again!

It is located a few minutes walk from the east exit of Soga station, and there are convenience stores, Bento shops, fast food shops and taverns around it. Amenities such as manned correspondence and toothbrush and brush shaving are chosen from the side of the front with the enforcement of the law. The elevator is a type of room card to touch the sensor and press the floor button. The room is generally large and the desk is large, which is helpful for PC work. It is not a double room style with a door like other Dormy Inns, but a studio style, and the bathroom in the room also has a toilet, washroom, and bath. Unit bus style. The large bath on the second floor is compact type compared to other Dome Inns. There are six lockers for clothes, three washing places in the bathroom, two indoor baths, three sauna rooms and a water bath, but there is no open-air bath. Like Dormy Inn, there are free coffee, ice cream, lactic acid beverages and night soba noodles. Breakfast is a Dormy Inn standard Japanese-Western buffet at the restaurant on the 2nd floor, and bonito rice as a local dish. I think it's probably a dome inn without a house ... I was able to spend comfortably.

I used it the other day on my way home from work. When I tried to do the remaining work in the room, the Wi-Fi was too bad to connect, and I stopped many times on the way and didn't get to work very much. I have used various hotels so far, but even if there are some such word of mouth, it is the first time that the environment was so bad even though it was in this net society that there was no such problem. Also, the lighting in the room is dark. Well, if you don't want to work, it's a fashionable structure that doesn't have a problem, but it's not suitable for teleworking. That Wi-Fi is a little fatal. .. Hot springs seem to be for sale, so it would be good if it was for hot spring purposes. However, the rooms on the 3rd floor are convenient to go to the hot springs, but there is almost no view. Is it because I couldn't open the roll screen (because the parking lot is opposite) because I used it in Chiba Prefecture? It was quiet at the end, but I didn't feel very good, so I thought there would be no next one.

This time, I stayed at this hotel chain, which is a 20-minute walk from Goi Station, to take the nostalgic Kominato Railway. There are no particularly eye-catching attractions here, but the train of the Kominato Railway passes through the fields, which feels like a Hayao Miyazaki cartoon. Although the hotel is a bit far from the station, it is located on the edge of the Yorogawa River. There are 3 bicycles for free borrowing by staying guests. It was very comfortable to ride the front river for an hour in the morning.

The room was very clean! Also very quiet! The front desk is very enthusiastic! Breakfast is delicious too! The bathing hot spring presented by the hotel is superb! The traffic is particularly convenient! Going out for three or five minutes is the dumpling station!

- Musty smelling toilet - Very old fittings and room doors that don't close fully - Friendly staff but poor English overall and unobservant - Old-fashioned owner with very poor customer skills, cannot problem-solve - Bath and water mixer very hard to use as they are very old fashioned - Fridge full of cold drinks, but with no space to put anything except tiny bottles and some small items I was very surprised and unhappy with what the ryokan owner told us today - the last night of our 10-night trip across the wider Tokyo region. Some context first: my flight departs at 6.20pm tomorrow and we have to check out of our room at 10am, as planned. What was unplanned, was that I was only told at 7pm today that they would have maintenance coming so there are 'no staff' and 'the whole ryokan will be closed', so my elderly parents (78YO and 70YO) and I would have to take our 3 large luggage bags with us by 2pm. They will not be able to hold our luggage for even 2 hours until 4pm, nor will they be able to call us a taxi; we will have to walk to the taxi stand ourselves. What is funny, is that as I was negotiating with the owner in the lobby, 4 new guests arrived to check-in. Now, there is a whole hotel with numerous rooms and new guests, but he cannot (will not) hold our luggage for 2 hours more? He proceeded to tell us they 'are not responsible to us for anything once we check out' and that 'there is nothing he can do' and when I said hotels in other countries hold the luggage for their guests after they check out for the same day until the flight time, he said 'this is Japan, not other countries'. Wow. I get it that he's used to running things his way, but this makes for a horrible customer experience. We had booked this ryokan over 6 weeks ago online, so there were many opportunities to tell us in advance of this scheduled maintenance. One great opportunity was yesterday at 5.30pm, when we checked in. Side points are: - Staff are not trained on the safety equipment in the rooms. I had taken the emergency torchlight off the charging mount and instead of the staff reinserting it, I had to figure out how and tell the staff (to his credit he really tried) - Housekeeping were unaware they took my mother's personal spoon by mistake and phew! the translation issues... we got it back though - Housekeeping replaced the tolietries we clearly had no need of, but not the items we used up! Basically they gave us 3 more toothbrushes in addition to the 3 unused, but did not top up the cotton pads. It was all very clearly placed in the bathroom for them to observe. - Creepy horror movie vibes
