Outstanding Hospitality and Truly Caring Service

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my stay here. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was truly above and beyond. The service felt so personal, warm, and genuine - something you rarely experience these days. The breakfast each was absolutely delicious, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared, setting the perfect tone for our day. But what really stood out was the kindness of the lady who operates the place. She went out of her way to help us in so many ways - arranging a cab for us without hesitation, and even running after us when she saw we were headed to the wrong bus station, personally guiding us to the correct stop. The language was never a problem, thanks to a translator App that they would quickly pull out. It’s rare to encounter this level of care, and it made our stay not only comfortable but truly memorable. I would wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area - you will be treated like family.

お安いと思いますが、ひと工夫を。

お部屋は広くて、清潔でした。朝ごはんをいただきました。時間の制限がタイトでした。ごはんも手作りはご飯とお味噌汁だけだったように思います。お茶の里なのにお部屋のお茶がカビ臭かったです。お湯を沸かすティファールもカビのようなものが底についていました。（ある程度は拭き取れたので一生懸命拭きましが。） フレンドリーだっあだけに残念でした。
