Guest Reviews

• Rojildredys (10/5): - The breakfast buffet has many options and the karaoke room is very clean.
• ?? (8/5): - 畳の風呂はいいです。
• HISASHI (10/5): 快適に過ごせます - 館内は非常に静かでゆっくりと過ごせました。
• Akira (10/5): - 浴場までエレベーターを乗り換える不便さもありますが、温泉設備は充実していました。下呂の温泉にゆったり浸かり癒されました。
• CHIHIRO (8/5): - 旅館のお風呂も綺麗で部屋もとても綺麗でした。施設内も高級感あり良い香りがただよってむした。また利用したいです。
• Man Wah Mina (10/5): - 我們入住懷舊房間，整體服務非常好，房間整潔 我們有很多行李，前台部安排了一部免費的士，在退房日送我們到附近火車站，非常貼心 職員們都有親切的笑容
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Big hotel.. convenient for walking near the river. Must choose new building the newly renovated one
• HIDEAKI (8/5): - 建物の作りは昔ながらの宿泊施設といった感じなので各所への導線は致し方ないのかなと思いました。 それ以外は特に不満に思う所もなく気遣いが行き届いていたと思います。 食事する所、お風呂、お部屋、それぞれ清掃や改装が行き届いており金額に対しての不満はありませんでした。 ですが、逆に特段コスパに優れているとも思わなかったです。
• Maho (10/5): - 新館に泊まりました。 キレイでバルコニーがあってとても過ごしやすかったです！ 温泉にフェイスタオルサイズのタオルが置いてあるのが便利でした！
• 隼太 (10/5): - ホテルが綺麗で過ごしやすかった。
• Tzu-Chun (10/5): 不錯的溫泉旅館 - 房間舒適、設備佳、服務不錯
• ゆみ (10/5): - とても、ゆったりと過ごせました 川のすぐ側で、景色も素晴らしかったです
• Verified traveler (8/5): Gero Onsen - I came to Gero on a recommendation from a close friend. I somehow missed it when I had done a previous Takayama trip and I am glad I came back. The town is very small and the hotel is easily walkable from the station, some people say 15 mins but it was more like 8-10 mins and that was while stopping to take pictures of the Hida river. Great location for the hotel, close to everything. The Onsen in this hotel alternate between male and female daily so you will have a chance to experience both outdoor and both indoor ones as well as the carbonated one in just one overnight stay. I booked online through hotels.com and didn't select the breakfast for an additional 10,000 yen. I assumed I could add it there in cash which was a mistake. When I arrived they told me that to add breakfast it was 27,000 yen, almost triple the price. When I showed them the offer and explained the situation they offered me it for 22,000 yen. I declined because that is still over double the price I could have had it. This was very disappointing but I understand that online has different offers than the hotel. It was my mistake and I regret not ordering at time of purchase, don't make that same mistake. Hotel is very old, it is still nice but I imagine it was amazing when new. The elevators are so confusing, you will need to take several and transfer between them on different floors to get anywhere unless you stay on the mail floor I guess. You will figure it out but the first time is confusing.
• キンヤ (8/5): - お風呂なんですが、綺麗でしたし、気持ちの良く入れました
• kazuya (10/5): - 素泊まりのため 夕飯のおすすめを聞いたところ 丁寧な説明で美味しい夕飯が食べれました。 お湯は言うことなしで ゆっくり出来ました。
• Verified traveler (6/5): - 部屋や食事、温泉などは素敵でした。エレベーターの乗り換えさえなければかなりいい宿だと思います。
• Verified traveler (10/5): 會返住 - 非常好，溫泉選擇多
• yuki (4/5): - トイレ　洗面は昭和の時代？残念。
• Cha (10/5): - 室內溫泉跟露天風呂都非常棒，早餐也很好吃，只是飯店內要不停換電梯剛開始很容易迷路。
• HauYee (8/5): 整體來說不錯 - 溫泉旅館位置很好，離車站過一條橋就到，JR站出口就有各酒店的人員舉住酒店牌在等候，溫泉池共有四個，個人最喜歡高碳酸那個，清晨一早去泡半露天池，然後去食早餐 早餐自助的，check out time 11點，10:10分酒店有車送去車站
• Verified traveler (6/5): - 部屋が川側でなく町側のため景色が悪く、更に窓下にエアコンが置かれているため最悪である。
• junko (10/5): とても良かったです - 接客が　大変良く　気持ちが良かったです 温泉、水に濡れてもよい　畳みが敷き詰められた　場所も　あり 夜は、本館と別館の　2種類の温泉に入りました。 朝は、本館の男性から女性専用に変わる　温泉に入りました。本館では、入れ替わり　ほぼ同じ感じでした。 部屋は、山側より川側がおすすめです
• toshiki (4/5): フロントの酷さに呆れた。 - 素泊まりプランの為、フロントで飲食店の紹介をお願いしたら、食事が出来る店が近くに有ると回答なので、おススメを聞くと別の店を紹介だが店名もすぐ分からず、行ってみる、最悪の居酒屋でした。あまりの酷さに呆れるばかりです。二度と泊まりたくありません。
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 少し部屋のトイレが臭います
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 朝食が特に種類も豊富で良かったです。
• Mei Po Mabel (10/5): - 別館_the view is good and the room is very big. the breakfast is very good.
• HOIRIM (10/5): 푹 쉬고싶다면 게로 오와가야에서~^^ - 두번째 방문한 게로 오와가야호텔이었어요. 작년에는 1박이라 넘 아쉬워서 올해는 3박하고 왔거든요. 그래도 아쉬웠어요. 가격대비 좋습니다.
• Verified traveler (8/5): 素泊まりでも楽しめる - 素泊まりでしたがお部屋も綺麗でしたし、なんと言ってもお風呂が良かったです。大浴場もゆったりしていて露天風呂からの眺めも良かったです。お部屋に行くまでの廊下も広々としていて素泊まりの値段も安価でちょっと得した気分でした。この値段設定ならまた宿泊したいなと思います。
• CHAOCHUN (4/5): - 安排的房間沒有電梯到達, 也沒有主動告知可以協助搬運大型行李. 反應後, 還需要加價才能換房. 整體感受相當的差
• Kwun Ki (8/5): Traditional Onsen Accomodation. - The property is slightly dated & the style of the rooms in the main block were old. However its public bath/ hotspring (i.e. onsen) were newly decorated & very roomy / well-lighted. It would be perfect if the rooms are facing the river which is the major HIGHLIGHT of the Gero township. The breakfast was excellent & recommend fellow travellers to also book dinner with the hotel as there is basically not many restaurants nearby in a hotspring township like this.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 처음 방문했을때 직원의 서비스는 그럭저럭이었으나 온천도 만족했고 숙소도 리모델링을 하였는지 깨끗해서 좋았습니다.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - ห้องพักสะอาด กว้าง ออนเซ็นดีมาก ใกล้สถานีรถไฟเดินแค่5นาที อาหารเช้าดีมาก
• SZU HAO (6/5): 算我倒楣吧 - 以為坐了JR特急飛驒號，出了下呂站就能看到接駁至小川屋的司機舉牌？2019年2月3日，下著雨的傍晚六時許，經舉水明館牌子的司機告知小川屋沒車，我們只得推行李走去，路程約八分鐘。覺得也輕鬆嗎？您自己可以邊打傘試試。 到了小川屋check-in，旅館前台一位年輕男性人員，劈頭拿了張紙問我是否就是紙上的這個名字？紙上的名字是Park開頭，應該是韓國人。我答，我的名字不是這個，心裡則想，這是在玩猜謎？我的護照在此，你個工作人員是什麼意思？辧完入住，我轉身，聽到背後該工作人員一聲嗤笑。還能如何？我只選擇強抑出拳的怒火。 除此之外，餐點、温泉均好。不過，一人150 yen的温泉稅，不管泡不泡湯都要付，入住者先知道一下最好，免得有被敲詐的感覺。
• Chan (6/5): - The check-in staff was impolite and indifferent. Also, the room we stayed in was outdated and dirty. The only plus is the beautiful onsen (public bath).
• Eom (8/5): - 호텔닷컴에 예약이 가능한 숙소는 구관이어서 화장실이나 숙소가 너무 낡았었다
• Verified traveler (8/5): Nice place but needs updating. - We were put in the old wing which was inconvenient to get to and run down. Room was large and comfortable but they didn’t fix the mattress daily. There was drinking water on the first day and then I had to go get myself on other days. Had Kaiseki on the first night, not as good as others I’ve tried. Staff were polite and helpful. Overall a good stay.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 増設に増設を重ねたホテルのため、館内は色々と複雑ですが、料理も美味しく温泉もとても良かったです。温泉は複数あるため、夜と朝で違う温泉が楽しめます。また貸切温泉もあるため、そちらを希望の方は事前に予約すると良いでしょう
• SHIGEMIKI (10/5): 最高のホテルです。また泊まりたいです。 - 母親との二人旅で泊まりました。 温泉も食事も素晴らしく大満足です。 最高のホテルです。
• Verified traveler (8/5): 昭和温泉旅館 - 　　大浴場が三か所あるのが良い　それぞれ特徴があり全部入浴しないともったいないかな。 〇お盆休みつまらないのでぎりぎりで予約を中途半端な人数で取ったせいか一番古い棟に。 自分で開け閉めするアパートの様な鍵のドア、それはそれ昭和な感じで気にならないが、ドアがきしんでギーギーと、、あちこちからも聞こえて気になるちょっとのメンテで鳴らなくなるのに残念 〇改装のしてあるバスルーム（トイレ洗面浴槽込み）だったが朝の明るい時間トイレタンクの裏にカビがびっしり！ぞっとした。 〇バスタオルが部屋に一枚しかなく三か所の大浴場に湿ったタオルを持ち歩くのは気分が悪い 〇予備のスリッパも無い　番号札をスリッパに付けるのだが誰かが間違えたのか履いて行ってしまい　仕方なく娘のスリッパを借りフロントへ　迷路のような通路を通り代わりを取りに。 〇〇良い点 　　食事は朝のバイキングも夕食も暖かく美味しかった 　　従業員さんはみな感じが良かった 　　売店が大きく大体揃う 　　小さい町なので旅館からの歩きに丁度いい 総合的には混んでいない時期にゆっくりと泊まりたい宿です
• KUNIHIKO (8/5): 清潔な風呂 - 浴場が清潔で快適。それぞれの浴場へのアクセス方法がややわかりにくい。
• jj (10/5): Comfortable - My room has river view, the amenities are modern. It has ladies lotion in my room. However, I couldn’t ordered dinner through email. I had to ask through local person when I arrive japan
• Verified traveler (10/5): 極好體驗，洋室是新館 - 稍為高少少地方，係一個好多年的歷史建築物，本館係舊和室，新館係洋室。百年既住宿，房間好新，好乾淨，服務人員親切。而且係一個好的溫泉體驗。
• Lung-Kuan (8/5): 正統溫泉旅館 - 房間寬敞舒適，溫泉設施也無可挑剔，但要注意下呂晚上店都關的很早，差點找不到地方吃晚餐。
• Murphy (8/5): Great value for money - Room conditions is very good. Hot bath is a good one. Breakfast is also delicious
• Chi Keung (8/5): - The outside of the hotel looks old but the interior is newly decorated and looks nice & beautiful. Have hotel van wait outside JR station though I have not made reservation. But the dinner did not worth JPY6,000 & a little bit disappointed.
• Hing Yui Vinc (6/5): 吸煙人仕精選 - 大部份房間留濃烈煙味, 但員工態度積極友善安排除臭。但吸煙人仕應該開心。此外, 房間沒有浴室, ㄧ定要去浴場。
• YI TING (10/5): - 除了房間收不到Wi-Fi 外，其他部分都不錯。
• Verified traveler (8/5): 満足しました。 - 部屋のお風呂がなかなか温かいお湯が出ませんでした。それ以外は快適でした。
• FONG IENG (8/5): 值得入住 - 温泉舒适，早餐很不錯
• Verified traveler (8/5): キレイでした - きれいな温泉宿でした
• 강석규 (10/5): 강력추천 - 온천과 직원들의 친절함. 조식까지 좋습니다.
• Ka yin (10/5): - 下呂溫泉♨️令人難忘回憶，好想推介给朋友
• ８６ (6/5): マンモスホテル - 建物の設備は素晴らしいです。ただ大きいだけあってきめ細やかな心遣いや対応ができていません。従業員の対応がドライでそっけなく凄く勿体ないです。改善を期待します。
• とも (8/5): 不満はない - 温泉の湯のぬるぬる感が良かった。いわゆる美人の湯というものだ。部屋も清潔で浴衣サイズもほぼ大丈夫なそろえがあった。
• Kit Han (6/5): - 房間有味道，溫泉幾好
• Jede (8/5): 迷路のようなホテル - 大浴場の畳にはびっくり 露天風呂の眺めも最高でした。 食事も豪華で お値段も手頃 若い人たちが多く泊まりに来ているかんじです。
• Lee (4/5): Large and grand old hot spring hotel. - The hotel was big and grand. The water quality of the hot spring was excellent and the inside was also very spacious. However, the inside of the hotel is complicated, and the road to the spa and restaurants is long and uncomfortable. The hotel is relatively large, but the parking lot is narrow and a little off.
• Lok Sum Fiona (8/5): - 溫泉不錯，抵住
• YUK YIN (10/5): 舒適 乾淨 - 豪華級享受,值得再去
• Incheol (10/5): 가성비가 매우 만족스러웠습니다. 사진보다 분위기도 훨씬 좋았습니다. - 가성비가 매우 만족스러웠습니다. 사진보다 분위기도 훨씬 좋았습니다.
• MEE LIN (6/5): - Near JR Station, shuttle to hotel in the morning arrival only. Dusty room but spacing was enough. Convienance to the visiting point.
• みっちゃん (10/5): 良質な温泉のあるビジネスホテル - 下呂温泉の良質な温泉と清潔で広々とした露天風呂と清潔な部屋での宿泊で満足できる旅館です。ビジネスホテルとしての利用も可能で名古屋近辺の車での出張には選択肢にいれたほうがよいと思います
• Ho Man Herman (8/5): 浴場有驚喜 性價比高 - 浴場唔錯 房間舒適 厠所很寬敞
• CSM (8/5): - The hotel provided shuttle bus to the Gero Station, which I thought was very convenient!! I stayed in the new building that rooms are western style. My room was very big, new, and came with balcony, facing the river. I really liked the pillow and comforter, also bath room.
• Ming Fung (8/5): 不錯的溫泉酒店 - 無論客房、早餐餐廳或溫泉浴池都空間寬敞，唯一不是很好就是露天溫泉要下一段樓梯，房內有免費無線wifi
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 当日の朝に予約して宿泊いたしました。ネットの写真は本館のようでしたが、平日ゴールデンウイーク後で宿泊者がす少なかったからでしょうか、新館に案内していただけました。 とても綺麗で気持ちよく過ごすことができました。 マッサージを受けた際、記念日であることをたまたま話したら、サプライズプレゼントがありとても感激しました。
• WOOJIN (10/5): 깨끗하고 운치있는 온천 - 비가 오는 저녁쯤 체크인 하러 도착한 게로에 위치한 오가와야 호텔 깨끗한 객실과 온천은 여행의 피로를 한번에 날려버리기에 충분했다. 아침에 맛있는 조식도 기억에 남는다.
• Verified traveler (8/5): 小綺麗なお部屋 - 清潔です。 朝食バイキングのメニューが豊富でした。 近くのコンビニに行ったのですが、人手が足りないらしく、品物の陳列が充分でなく、ダンボール箱が積まれて、会計にも大変時間がかかりました。
• Hugh (8/5): Clean central hotel - Simple check in, even if Google takes you to the wrong side of the building. Staff had enough English to help and the room was clean and recenty refurbished.
• JONGUK (8/5): - 반드시 주의해야 할것 1.저녁이 포함된 숙박일시 체크인을 3시부터 6시까지 해야한다. 안내인들이 크게 신경 안써서 7시까지는 봐줄지 모르지만 넘어가면 저녁 못먹는다 2.나고야에서 출발할시 특급타라 일반 열차타고 가다가 죽을 뻔했다 2번환승에 간격이 30분 1시간 30분씩인데다가 멈추는곳도 많아서 열차 자주타는 사람도 묻지않으면 못갈 수도 있다 본인은 4시간 반 걸렸다 1시간 다음 열차기다리느라 참고로 특급타면 2천엔 더 내고 1시간 반걸린다 3.마중서비스는 전화 해놔야 온다. 해외유심 사가서 전화해라 괜히 깡 전화 걸어서 폭탄맞지말고 근대 역에서 걸어서 10분이다. 추가로 여기가 알려주는 번호보면 +82인가 뒤에 전화 번호나오는데 이거 나라번호니까 현지에서 전화걸때 이거 3개 빼고 뭐 넣어야되드라 기억안나지만 알아가지고 가라 현지에서 파탄나기 싫으면 4.돈 되거든 강가쪽 방잡아라 안쪽에 다른건물 따로있고 거기에 강 안보이는 객실있는데 움직이기 귀찮아 보이더라 본인은 701 강보이는 곳 골랐는데 산 보며 강보며 친구랑 먹는 맥주는 환상이다. 5.강가를 따라 산책로가 있다 걸어봐라 나쁘지않드라 6.마을도 걸어다녀라 호텔로비에서 마을 온천전체이용권 살 수 있는데 사들고 이곳 저곳 온천가는 것도 좋고 의외의 멋진 풍경의 노천탕도 있다. 그냥 야외에 온천수로 손씻기만하거나 족욕만 해도 풍미는 확실한 마을이다. 7.온천갈때 길 안잃게 조심해라. 엘레베이터가 2개고 참고로 입구 즉 정문은 3층이다. 욕탕이 지하1층인데 건물도 위쪽시 2개로 나눠져서 점원이 설명할때 잘들어라 지도도 주는데 복잡다 구조가 3층에서 2층걸어가서 거기서 지하1층가는 엘베타야간다. 참고로 1층은 탁구대 있다. 8.아침 밥 7시부터 9시까지인데 보통 줄이 좀 생긴다. 근대 회전력이 워낙 좋아서 10분정도면 들어가니 기다려라. 9.산 속에 산 골사이 이고 강이 있어서 그런지 춥다. 3월인데 산 그늘진 곳은 눈 쌓여있다. 10.아침에 눈 일찍떠서 산책가봐라 공기도 좋고 좀 추워도 수건하나만 있으면 족욕하면서 신사나 절같은거 구경도 하고 다들 부지런해서 6시반이면 출근하는 사람도 제법이라 으스스하진 않다. 다 하고 밥먹기전에 7시쯤에 온천가서 노천탕 독점하고 놀다가 8시쯤 밥먹으러가라. 그렇게 상쾌한 아침이 없다. 참고로 온천은 밤은 2시까지였나고 아침에 5시부터 연다. 5시부터 10시까지였나 일찍여니까 노천탕 독점해봐라.
• Mark (8/5): Clean hotel with nice Onsen - The hotel was good but the room is very very small.
• Nutthawut (8/5): Less than 10 minute walk from gero station - Indoor onsen is good while outdoor bath is below my expectation
• Verified traveler (8/5): Relaxing and worthy - Large comfortable lobby and restaurant, very good staff manner, good location next to onsan street, delicious dinner and buffet breakfast but no room wifi.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Overall is good. - Overall is good. However it will be better if it also has wifi in room and have the shuttle bus service in the afternoon to the train station.
• Ching Choi (8/5): Nice hot spring - Nice hot spring but a bit crowded during peak season
• Yit Joon (8/5): Great Onsen experience - I upgraded my room because the actual room I booked condition not really satisfied, after upgrade my room, i really enjoy the room design and tatami, it's a balcony to have a river view and also a place to make tea also to see the river view. The onsen indoor and outdoor is big enough and relaxing. The shop near lobby also sell a lots of souvenir. The hotel will arrange the tatami at 7pm.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Good - Overall is good. Like the onsen.
• HAVE (8/5): Nice hotel (Ryokan) in a spa town - We chose this hotel because Takayama was full (float festival) and only one hour away by rail. The hotel was big and mainly used by Japanese clients. Our bathroom only had a toilet and basin so we were forced to use the onsen. This is highly recommended. Our room was fine otherwise and just across the river from the rail station. Recommended.
• Robert (6/5): A review - Stayed one night. Our room had no shower.
• Joel (8/5): Slightly faded, but delightful - Gero is a slightly faded hot springs resort town, and the Ogawaya is a slightly faded, but still charming and attentive, large ryokan-style hotel. Tatami-mat rooms are good-sized and clean, futons comfortable, and bathing facilities (indoor and outdoor) decently maintained. Buffet breakfasts are outstanding.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Excellent, no complaints at all!
• TONG KUN (8/5): My stay in Gero Onsen - The hotel's location is great. All spots of attractions are just short distance away. The room we stay are clean and tidy. Both the receptionist and service personnel there are friendly and helpful. The hotel contributes a significant portion of the very good memories during my stay in Gero Onsen
