KAMENOI HOTEL AKO ★★★★

"We have been visiting many onsen ryokans or hotels in Japan. This hotel is very good and my rooms is very large with indoor onsen and super deluxe design. However, we were disappointed during checking in. Their time slots for dinner and breakfast were somewhat ridiculous. Either too early or too late. No one told us where we could get our welcome drinks, or had staffs to guide us to pue room. Our breakfast time was even arranged by error on 8:30 instead of 7:00 as we had decided. Everything was so good except the hotel service should be improved."

Toyoko Inn Banshu Ako Ekimae ★★★

"Love this hotel, room is clean, great facilities.. and front desk service on check-in is quick and efficient. Special thanks to Ms Kasahara and Ms. Ishino for their kind assist especially on our bicycles. Strongly recommend!"

Ginpaso ★★★★

"The accommodation and food were excellent and I was very satisfied with my relaxing stay. However, the shampoo and conditioner were at the level of a business hotel, which made my hair feel rough. Even using a ReFa hair dryer didn't improve the roughness at all, so I wish they hadn't compromised on that point and provided better service, considering the high price."

Shiosai　Kirara Shokichi ★★★

"Highly recommended Hotel to visit, Amazing Onsen and very helpful staff, great hospitality."

Ako Park Hotel ★★★

"It was a nice room."

Hotel Yamachou ★★★

"The location was great, close to Ako Castle and Oishi Shrine, and with many restaurants in the area. I got a twin room, which was clean and the bathroom, while small, was nice and adequate considering the price. However, the lady at the reception desk completely ruined that good impression! I rang the bell, but no one answered for a while. I heard a voice, so I looked over and saw she was engrossed on a phone call with an acquaintance, not a customer, so I called again, but she still didn't come out for a while. Finally, the receptionist...she didn't seem to get it even when I told her my name and showed her the reservation screen on her smartphone! How many times are they going to ask for my name alone?! "How much was it?" "Huh? For that much?" etc... Her manner of speaking wasn't great either! This lady was the worst⤵️⤵️"

Kariya Ryokan Q ★★★

"The Ryokan and room was incredible! It felt like travelling back in time. The onsen was also super nice. The only issues were that the Onsen was at the sister hotel. It was only a 5 minute drive, but it would have been nice if they had their own. Also, the food was incredible, we had the breakfast. However we did not order the dinner because we were not sure if we would arrive to the Ryokan in time. Unfortunately they did not have any food at all, if you did not order the full set meal ahead of time. We went to a restaurant nearby which was ok...but it would have been nice if they had a couple menu items that were available outside of the full pre-booked set meal. "

Donkairo ★★★

"I stumbled upon this hotel by chance. Firstly, I love the Seto Inland Sea, and then I was drawn in by its creative cuisine and the vibrant, energetic name, "Tunkairo" (meaning "Sea-Swallowing Pavilion"). The hotel is built on a cliff overlooking the sea, with two baths: one indoors surrounded by massive rocks, and the other a completely open-air bath. The day I checked in was chilly and I was huddled up. The women's bath was outdoors, and after a thorough shower, I entered the bath and immediately felt relaxed. Although I'm very sensitive to heat, a breath of fresh air and a glance at the swirling snowflakes made me soak for an extra fifteen minutes! The food seemed to be made with seasonal ingredients; since oysters are in season, there were two dishes with large, plump oysters for dinner, which was very satisfying. Other appetizers, such as sashimi, grilled fish, and seafood rice, were decent. Overall, it's a very cost-effective hot spring hotel. Oh, and they also offer a shuttle service from the station."
