“Nice experience in a region famous for there onsen but facilities may need abit of work.”
We liked the quality of the onsen but the options offered was quite limited. We like the special touch to make us comfortable while checking to sit us down to describe the hotels facilities and services.

Staff is super friendly and helpful, room is very cozy and clean. Even when I forgot breakfast they called me to remind about it. They were all very supportive until the last minute.

“Ryokan vibes in a hotel.”
Very traditional food, maybe not catered to western tastes, but large servings and made with care. The staff were fantastic, even when we committed cultural faux pas, helping us with a smile. Onsen was a good temperature, outdoor bath was delightful. The view from our room was great. It’s not far to walk to the entire town. The hotel does a free shuttle to the bus station.

“Lovely hotel experience, but ruined by ONE staff”
We were warm welcomed by the hotel staffs for checkin. Unlike the usual checkin process, we were asked to take a seat and wait for a staff to oritntate us around, we were served with hot towels, welcome drink and sweet. The staff were professional and the booking system for the dinner/ breakfast were simple. As the hotel is located above the hill, we had our opportunity to enjoy the view of kusatsu from above and saw other hotels beneath from our balcony. The hot spring was also wonderful, it was full of minerals and really comfy.

“Glad to have chosen Hotel Spax for a japanese style stay on my first visit to Kusatsu”
I enjoyed the japanese style accommodation,food and the onsen. Being an asian I am used to having rice for breakfast. I am not sure if the hotel provides choice of western meals.

“Best kusatsu stay ever!”
The hotel was in a great location, close to everything but not right in the middle of it all. The room was beautiful, the staff were helpful and friendly and went above and beyond to ensure guests were comfortable and assisted in any way they could. Even offering shuttle rides to any attraction that was further away than a 15 min walk. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and will be back.

“At the price they charged for, there should have plenty of choices nearby”
Most of staffs are friendly. The shutter bus is available to pick guests from bus terminal. The hotel should inform guests soonest the booking is confirmed.
