Hyoe Koyokaku

My friends and I stayed at this hotel for one night in June 2023. We arrived at the hotel early at 10am before the check-in time, and they offered luggage storage services to us. We traveled around the onsen and returned at 2:30pm. By then, the room was ready and our luggage had been transferred directly to the room. I stayed on the 14th floor of the north wing and the mountain view from the room was excellent. We enjoyed a great Kobe beef dinner and Japanese breakfast in the room. The service was also professional and provided in fluent English. Our package also included access to the premium lounge, where the drinks were very good. I would recommend that the hotel increase the operating hours for the premium lounge (currently closed at around 10pm).

This property does take some effort to get to. But the stay was pleasant. Buffet was delicious and onsen baths were amazing. The ryokan experience is very interesting and comfortable for us. Staff were very helpful. One thing to mention is it is not very tattoo-friendly. They politely ask you to cover tattoos in common areas, including restaurants.

呢間溫泉好大，有3個大浴場，好relax，又有個premium lounge 可以飲下酒，食下小吃，早餐buffet就一般，我諗住會喺房間嘆嘅，晚餐我就好期待，不過有少少落差，比禁貴價錢，就唔成正比，仲要喺餐廳食，無人服侍，自己燒烤，牛肉得好少，整體最正就係浴場，無咩人

We really enjoyed our stay here, the onsen was relaxing, the staff was amazing

Very good

地點方便，酒店服務一流，VIP Lounge 除了汽水咖啡茶飲提供外，還有紅酒白酒其他酒類飲品，又有芝士果仁，和其他小食，環境優雅寧靜。套票跟頂級BBQ神戶和牛和龍蝦刺套餐，份量十足，旅程十分享受。

大変気持ちよく過ごせました。 特にお風呂が大きく、脱衣室も大変清潔で良かったです。 お料理も部屋食でゆっくりできました。

Arrival - My stay at the Hyoe Koyokaku was exceptional from check-in to checkout. I arrived at the property about two hours early as my family and I wanted to sightsee around town and get some lunch. The associates downstairs and at the front desk were more than helpful in assisting us check in our luggage and guide us to the car park which is just a few steps away from the main entrance. Check in - Upon check-in a few hours later we were told that we had complimentary upgrade from our original booked room (West Bldg-Deluxe Kaiseki Kobe Beef Dinner in Room w/ buffet breakfast) to the nicer and more expensive ($75 a night increase) North Building. The larger room also included a massage chair which was used by both my wife and I and was a nice treat. Room - My video review of the room can be seen on Youtube at the following link - https://youtu.be/iDSXgngullI - or search "Hyoe Koyokaku Hotel Review" on Youtube. Overall the room was spacious while being comfortable and clean in addition to having a nice view of the onsen town. Onsen - The onsen baths in the hotel were great and featured a nice variety of both indoor and outdoor baths. No need to bring any towel from your room, as both the wash towel and body towel are provided along with all the usual amenities like combs, razors, q-tips, etc. down in the baths. Dinner - Dinner was served in room and was fantastic and quite honestly one of the best ones I've had while staying at Ryokans in Japan. We ordered some drinks ahea
