The location is great, but the town is small and there is nothing to do there for more than one day. The owner always has a dissatisfied face (I think only to foreigners) in contrast to his friendly and smiling wife. When entering or leaving the hotel, you have to ask him to open the door so that the cats do not run away. I was pleased with the hot tub. The room has windows on the wall, you can not open them, because the cats want to jump out onto the neighboring building. I shortened my stay and was glad to escape from there.

If you're staying in Oz for one night, I highly recommend this place. Unless you have a cat allergy, it's heaven! The facility itself is old, but it's a cat hostel with a private bath for around 30,000 won... and laundry is free! I think there used to be breakfast, but there isn't anymore. There's no restaurant that serves breakfast, but there's a place nearby that sells packed lunches, so you can buy some for dinner or breakfast. I recommend staying for one night and leaving.

If you love cats, this hotel is irresistible. You can choose a cat to stay with you overnight and let it out at six o'clock the next morning. Just keep the cat door of your room open, as many cats will come in unexpectedly during the morning hours. The hotel is in a very good location, just a four-minute walk from Ozu-Hommachi Station. There are more than ten buses every day, which is very convenient. It is within ten minutes from Dazhou City and Wolong Villa. The hotel's laundry and drying services are free. The downside is that the facilities are average and the wireless network is not working. The boss is in his sixties and manages three floors by himself, and he also has ten cats. With room rate of over 100 per person, don't be too picky about hygiene.

I stopped eating because there are people who don't like eating in a place with cats. The washing machine and dryer are free, which is good. The bathroom is shared and not clean.

I think this is a perfect inn for cat lovers. There is free use of the washing machine and dryer, free tea, lots of manga available, and a kotatsu at the front desk in front of the lobby where you can relax with the cats. While relaxing in the kotatsu, I could hear the snoring of the cat sleeping inside, which was a blissful moment.

I was looking forward to staying at a ryokan with cats for the first time! The reviews said that the receptionist was unfriendly, but when I went there, the receptionist was a gentle-looking man who greeted me. There was dust on the edge of the stairs as I climbed them, but there was no cat hair flying around, and it seemed to have been cleaned to a minimum. There were no non-smoking rooms available, so I booked a smoking room, but although it smelled of tatami mats, it didn't smell of cigarettes, so I was relieved. While I was sorting my luggage in the room, a cat came on patrol (lol). The next morning, I was hoping that the cat would come to wake me up, but as the reviews said, it seems that they don't come to the third floor very often. A black cat came into the room through the cat window, but someone in the hallway stuck a cat toy with a bell through the cat window to lure the cat out...it was really unpleasant that they did that twice. They also tried to take videos or photos through the cat window, which was a violation of our privacy even though it was our room. The inn itself was nice, but I don't want to get into trouble with people who are crazy about cats, so I won't be returning...

I thought I could always play with the cats, but that's not the case. It's unsanitary as an inn. The only good thing about it is that it's cheap.

Good location, good facilities, good price, good cats! The bath is private and can be used by one group at a time. There is a washing machine (detergent provided) and dryer. There is a water server (hot water and tea). Heaters are also included in the various amenities. There is a sink in the guest room. There is a hair dryer. There is a multi-port charger for charging your smartphone. There are multiple hangers. There is a hanger rack placed high up. The small cat window in the door can be opened and closed. If you leave it open, it will be an entrance and exit for the cats. It is not a suspicious person but a cat that will silently sneak up on you through here. Don't be startled, as the cat will run away.

I finally got to stay at the cat inn I've always wanted to stay at. The building is old, but it's well-cleaned and the futons are clean too. The bath is a handmade rock-style bath. There are two rooms, but there is no separate men's and women's bath. You enter whichever is available and lock it. The ceilings are connected, so you have to be careful of the bath next door, but it's not a problem. The only downside is that if the person next door uses the shower, the hot water doesn't come out as well. In the morning, the cats come in one after the other in search of food, so you can enjoy yourself. Once they've had their fill, they'll be in the kotatsu corner at the entrance, where you can interact with the cats again. Highly recommended for cat lovers

The room is spacious and has Japanese-style tatami mats. There are 7-8 cats in the hotel lobby, so you can feel like you're in a cat cafe. The Japanese-style breakfast is delicious and recommended.
