A great hotel, excellent ambience and surrounding environment. Staff do not communicate in English. But first time I ever feel one of the staff did something dishonorable in Japan was to cancel our booking slot for a private onsen and gave it to another. I have never encountered this in Japan before.

This is a grand dame of a ryokan hotel next to a beautiful river with a scenic view of a suspension bridge and cliff. The hotel is very worn and in real need of a renovation, but the staff keep it as clean as they can. This is not a glamorous hotel and is definitely past its prime. However, that's not why you come here. You come to this ryokan for the hospitality, the well-maintained spa, the family activities, which are numerous (outdoor pool, manga reading room, mahjong, billiards, table tennis and karaoke) and its convenient location to the train station and the river. The buffet breakfast and dinner are delicious, the staff is very friendly and hard-working and there is an endless supply of choose-your-own yukata by the front desk. This is a quiet town and the sidewalk rolls up early as well as the activities in the hotel, which makes it a good, wholesome place for a family with young children or teens.

This place has very much seen better days. I didn't arrive in time to try their restaurants so I can't be any judge of that, but the rooms had no AC, I found an Ant twice in my room (and you know if you find one then there are MORE !), hair on my sheets, and everything had a very worn and stained look (walls, wallpaper, etc). The Onsen part wasn't too good either. A lot of the hallways had half hazard done patches from holes punched or kicked into the walls. When I talked to the staff about my room they apologized and that was it. When I left they gave me $10 vouchers for next time I visit (I WON'T !).

娘と2連泊して、日光鬼怒川観光を思う存分楽しむことが出来ました。 娘もとても楽しそうで嬉しかったです。 伊東園グループのホテルには以前にも宿泊した事がありますが、伊豆のホテルも鬼怒川のホテルもとても素敵な部屋で、良い思い出になっております。 今回は5月で少し寒かったので、欲を言えば暖房が欲しかったです。（寒がりなので）
