2-Star Hotels in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan

Although it is countryside, it is very close to the train station. About 2 minutes of walking. Front desk staff members were helpful to accommodate the room request. The bathroom in the room was quite clean. However, the shampoo and body soap in the room was low quality. But luckily you can go to the entrance area to pick up another variety of soap and shampoo. I appreciated that they had DHC skin care set in case you didn't bring it with you. There is a convenience store across from the hotel. So I was thankful for that. Otherwise, there is a bakery and an izakaya and that is it. 🙂

The location is very good, right next to the west exit of Katsuta Station. The hygiene and breakfast are good, but the exterior wall was under maintenance when I stayed there, and the windows were sealed with plastic and could not be opened.

After visiting Tohoku Aomori, I decided to check in the night before so that I could go to the National Seaside Park early the next morning to see the white butterflies. Please note that you have to climb more than 20 stairs to get to the front desk. I was dragging a big bag alone. Going up the stairs is really killing me! There is an elevator in Shadian that goes directly to the room, but the room is also very old. A stay of just over 200 yuan a night is enough. The free breakfast on the second day surprised me. It was in buffet format, very rich and delicious, and the quality was many, many times better than Toyoko Inn! If you don’t care about the stairs and the old room, it’s really worth it!

Older hotel, located 3 kilometers away from Chaolaihuoshi Station, the room is large in size. In addition to the large bath, it provides a loan cut. Facing the river, you can watch the sunset and soak in the soup. It is very leisurely and free, the front desk service is in place and thoughtful, and the underground lobby provides free coffee. But there is room for improvement in hygiene

Good breakfast. Nice public bath. Was quiet when I was there. Early june. Sadly no dinner arranged. And didn't want to drive the narrow road out to town. Good thing they sold many types of cup noodles. So we a simple cup noodle dinner with their melon cider drink. Highly recommend to try their melon cider.. Staff very helpful.

We loved our overnight stay here. We slept with windows slightly open and it was wonderful to hear the ocean waves from our bedroom. We stayed at many different ryokans, but the food here was the best. Downside is that there isn't a good onsen here. Very small and no view. We just used the bath in our own room.

駅から近いからいいじゃん！ 朝ごはん無料だからいいじゃん！ と思えたら丁度いいです。 古めかしい建物に入ると何度も使っていても書かなきゃいけないチェックインの用紙。どこまで書いてくださいと言われないので永遠と全て書いています。ここまで個人情報知りたいの？と思うぐらい書いてます。 部屋についているアメニティーとは別にエレベーターの前に数々のシャンプーなど置いてあるが部屋に持っていく事は禁止されている。 じゃあどうすれば？ここがポイントで、自分の好みのシャンプーなどを見つけたら、透明なおかずケースみたいなのに入れていくという斬新なスタイル。おそらくまるごと持って帰る客がいたのだろう。 しかし、チェックインした自分からすれば大変迷惑である。スーツケースで右手を奪われ、左手でルームキーやお財布などを持っている。人間からすれば両手が使えない状況の中でシャンプーをケースに入れてこぼれないように、お部屋まで持っていくことを考える人はいるのだろうか？ そうではなく、シャンプーをその場で頭に塗りたくればいいのか？ 誰か答えを教えてください。

When traveling to this somewhat remote place on business, to be honest there won’t be many Chinese tourists passing by. The hotel was a surprise. Although the facilities are slightly old, they are extremely well maintained. There is a Filipino waiter in the hotel who can speak English and give us various introductions. But others know neither English nor Chinese. The hotel is halfway up the mountain, with the seaside below. You can see beautiful scenery from the corridor windows, including the hot springs. The room is huge and has a spacious balcony, which is private and comfortable. Breakfast is only He's, but I'm basically used to it. The only thing lacking is that there are very few towels in the room, only two small towels and no bath towels at all, which is strange.

It's an old building, but it doesn't bother me. There's a convenience store right in front. There's parking in front of the entrance, but it can fit about 10 cars. Amenities include shampoo and conditioner. Body wash is soap. If you're particular about your amenities, you should bring your own. I was very satisfied with my stay, which cost less than 4,000 yen.

It's very old, the room smells of cigarette smoke, and turning on the air conditioner to ventilate it is useless. Use the original key to open the door. Those who are a little older and have watched Japanese dramas may have an impression 😂
