Hotels With Breakfast in Saitama Prefecture, Japan

The hotel's hygiene is excellent, and it's quite new. The only minor issue is parking, which can be a bit difficult as you have to use the adjacent mall's parking. The breakfast at the downstairs restaurant has a fantastic atmosphere, but the food variety is just average. I'd consider coming back again.

The location is great, just a 5-minute walk from the subway station, with plenty of dining options nearby. Check-in at the front desk was quick and the staff were very welcoming. I booked a standard queen room, and it was bigger than I expected, clean, and tidy. The bedding was comfortable, and the pillows were just right – not too soft, not too firm – so I slept really well both nights. The soundproofing on the windows was good; I could barely hear any street noise. The desk was a good size, with plenty of power outlets, and the Wi-Fi was stable, making it easy to get work done in the evening. The bathroom had a separate wet and dry area, the shower pressure was strong, hot water came quickly, and the toiletries were all provided.

It's almost directly connected to the station, and there's a convenience store next door. There's a large public bath. They even have late-night soba noodles. I can see why it's so popular. However, perhaps because it's so popular, or perhaps because there are no other hotels, there are a lot of customers. When I went to the public bath quite late at night, it was so crowded that there were no spaces available for washing. They didn't anticipate something like that, and it's probably something you've never experienced at any other hotel, so I guess the hotel didn't anticipate it either. It was a surreal situation, with everyone lined up naked in the changing room. The bathtub was big, but not that big, so it almost ended up being a family bath with strangers. The bed springs are a bit too soft, it's starting to hurt my back.

The hotel is a five-minute walk from Omiya Station, which is a major plus as it's very close to the subway. There are also frequent trains to the city center, and plenty of dining, entertainment, and shopping options nearby, including a beautiful large park! The service was truly outstanding. I asked the front desk for local food recommendations, and they quickly printed out a food map for me. There were quite a few tour groups staying there, but my room was spacious and comfortable, and being on a high floor offered beautiful views. If you need cleaning, you just need to let the front desk know in advance. On the downside, it's quite a distance from central Tokyo, requiring multiple transfers, so you need to pay attention to your directions. Also, there's a cemetery nearby, and you can see it from the room if you open the window. Something to consider if that bothers you.

Every time I visit Japan, no matter where I go first, my last stop is always Tokyo. And when I'm in Tokyo, Urawa Pines Hotel is my absolute top choice. While it's located at Urawa Station in Saitama Prefecture, it's incredibly close to Tokyo, and the transportation is unbelievably convenient. Let me elaborate: * **To Ueno or Tokyo:** No transfers needed, and you can take a rapid train. * **To Ikebukuro or Shinjuku:** Again, no transfers, and a rapid train gets you there quickly. * **To Karuizawa:** Just hop on the Shinkansen at Omiya Station. * **To Yokohama:** Direct train, no transfers. You can even get directly to Odawara and Atami. Besides the convenient transportation, the shopping is also a big draw, with Isetan and PARCO right at the station exit. The small street leading to the hotel is a bustling food street, full of delicious options. But the best part, ultimately, is the hotel itself. The rooms are spacious, bright, comfortable, and cozy. Even the smaller rooms are 24 square meters, and the larger ones are 32 square meters – which is almost unbelievable in Japan, where space is at such a premium. What's even more surprising is the price. For anyone doing a self-guided tour of Japan, Urawa Pines Hotel should be your first choice. Highly, highly recommend it!!!

I had a wonderful stay at Yuno Yado Wadoh with a friend, the scenery out there is absolutely beautiful, the staff were so helpful and attentive, the food was so delicious! The staff were all so kind and went above and beyond to help with any issues we had. The public onsen and private open air bath was heavenly. There were also some very fun hiking trails within walking distance from the Ryokan. I would highly recommend this Ryokan as a fun get away from the city to really get to see and experience the countryside of Japan while not having to travel so far.

The facilities have been renovated, but I was surprised to smell cigarette smoke as soon as I got off the elevator, even though it's supposed to be non-smoking. They only provide basic amenities, so you should definitely bring your own toiletries and cosmetics. The room was clean, but I was quite surprised to see the key card holder on the wall was taped up with masking tape and there were sticker marks on the air conditioner remote. Also, I was surprised there was no exhaust fan in the bathroom.

Fantastic hotel! I had a wonderful ten-day stay. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. It's super convenient, right by the station, and you can find dining and shopping without even leaving the building. They offer unlimited coffee every day, and the toiletries are excellent – I meant to buy a set from the hotel shop when I left, but I was too rushed catching my train and completely forgot. I hope to stay here again next time to make up for it!

The room was spacious overall with excellent natural light, making for a very comfortable stay. The bedding was soft and clean, ensuring a restful sleep. The staff were friendly and responsive. Breakfast offered a good variety and tasted delicious. The only minor drawback was that the air conditioning was a bit noisy. Overall, it was a great experience and definitely recommended!

Dinner was a seasonal kaiseki meal, and I couldn't wait as I read the menu description. Everything was delicious and I was very satisfied. The quality of the hot spring water was also excellent, and it left my skin feeling smooth. I had just finished a night shift, but the hot spring water helped me to relieve the fatigue from work. I would like to use the hot spring again.
