"Nice hotel communal areas are lovely and well maintained, with a lot of more rural Japanese hotels they all seem to be partially renovated, communal areas always modernised and well maintained however bedrooms and bathrooms especially need updating. Breakfast buffet was ok not really much variety and always the same. Dinner buffet good and rotation of foods, we stayed 4 nights and on the 3rd + 4th night served a special plate by the chef as a gift for continuous stay. I would avoid visiting at weekends as very crowded and onsen and dining areas noisy and busy- staff very attentive especially waiting staff in dining hall took a shine to our baby girl. Onsen nice and clean and massage service also very good."
"The deluxe twin room, though indicated as 2 single beds, can sleep 4 pax as each bed is a double/queen bed. Spacious room compared to other room type. The complimentary breakfast was simple but sufficiently good for a heavy breakfast."
"This hotel was a last minute addition to our trip. It's super close to some great hikes, set in a quiet onsen town and near a ropeway to get up to the top of the nearby mountains for amazing views. Food options in the hotel were many... so everyone was happy.
Overall, loved our stay here!!! They even had a bingo game which we joined in... pretty funny. I won and gave my prize away.
Onsen were also super nice!!! Oh, and the sound of the river all night was so soothing while we slept!!! Loved the Sounkyo Onsen Choyo Resort."
"Overall, nice and central place in Kitami to stay. Bed was comfortable, several parking lots make it easy to park. We did have some late night partiers the first night, but I was too tired to be bothered and it wasn't reflective of the hotel. I hadn't stayed in a Dormy Inn, but I would stay in this one or another again. Didn't try the onsen, but it looked like a nice small onsen was available."
