Arita Spa Hotel

"Clean and spacious room. Staff were helpful and welcoming. Breakfast was great but there were a lot of guests for such a big hotel and so a bit crowded during breakfast. Hot spring baths were a bit crowded too. Close to attractions, for instance, Karatsu castle is highly recommended, and lot of dinning options. A lot of shopping options too but they are sparse and easier to access with your own car. Parking was alright but a bit crowded as well."

"Room 5th floor center of building. WiFi was 2 to 7 Mbps Wi-Fi download speed and 1 Mbps upload. Hotel front desk informed. Staff could not resolve issue. I tried 2 eSims (Docomo/KDDI) but building walls prevented use. Bed comfortable, refrigerator would not cool bottle so I would get ice from 2nd floor. 4 night stay and I was informed at check in no cleaning for 4 days…unless I requested. Hotel dated . There are other hotel options and I will choose differently next time in Sasebo"

"Clean room with nice view."

"Great hotel, like traveling back in time to Meiji era, beautiful turn if the century antiques, very convenient to Arita Pottery Fair"

"Breakfast was good. Lots of varieties of food. They tasted good."

"Excellent traditional experience, onsen is great and the traditional food sets (both breakfast and dinner) are very nice. Only problems I had overall were maintaince going on during my stay (landscaping and some light building work), and some parts of the building are showing their age (especially in the onsen and lobby areas). Bonus note, some of the hole in the wall restaurants nearby are excellent and the rual area nearby is great for a break from the big cities (it has that fresh air countryside feel)."
