"予想以上に良かったです。ブッフェへもちろん、施設も素敵でした。温泉街自体はバブル崩壊の影響を受けてまだまださびれてますが、このホテルだけでも十分過ぎるくらいに高い価値があります。また、近隣にはスキー場や山、道の駅など観光スポットもあるので温泉街がさびれてるのも気になる人はほぼいないかと。草津温泉との梯子で行きましたが、こちらのほうが良いと妻と話しています。"

Top Sarugakyo Onsen Hotel Reviews

Hotel Yuzawa Yuzawa

10/10 Excellent

"The best thing about the hotel is the Onsen! The price was also reasonable. The hotel is a little on the worn side but still in good shape. It does have a shuttle to/from the echigo-yuzawa station but their hours are limited. The last pickup is 5:30pm if you miss that you will need to hire a taxi (expensive), take a bus (also limited hours) , take the local train to the iwapara station and then a 4 min walk to the hotel (the train is about 1 per hour) or you can walk to the hotel (about 45min)"

Urakusatsu Tou

10/10 Excellent

"The location is excellent, minutes walk to restaurants, shopping, Yubatake and Sainokawara Park. The room was spotless and the staff was so helpful. The on-site onsen (female side) was boiling hot! The only minor inconvenience was that cars were parked offsite so you needed to coordinate with staff each time you needed your vehicle."

Kanemidori

10/10 Excellent

"The staff and onset are the two highlights for this lovely hotel. Open air onsen is the best!! Would love to come back."

Yukemurinoyado Yukinohana

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely Japanese style accomodation. Refreshing to see that shoes are off limits at the property and they provide good lockers for the shoes. Private baths and onsens are available for a soak after a day out to explore. Breakfast is good too though the timings of breakfast are a tad early but best way to start the day ! :)"

KAMENOI HOTEL KUSATSU YUBATAKE

8/10 Good

"Rooms are plain but clean. Excellent buffet food value. Nice common facilities."

Kusatsu Onsen Hotel Sakurai

8/10 Good

"The property was nice and modern. All amenities were in working order. Location is further from center of town. The town is also deserted, almost. Nothing really around. Onsen water is nice as well as the low temperature sauna."

Rakuten STAY VILLA Kusatsu Onsen

10/10 Excellent

"Great venue and facilities."

Yorokobinoyado Takamatsu

10/10 Excellent

"温泉は最高です。何度も入浴しました。Wi-fiが弱く、あまり使えなかった感じでした。二泊で部屋の清掃不要とさせてもらっていました。タオルセットは二つ準備されていたので問題ないと判断してしていましたが、散策から戻ると一つタオルセットと、バスタオルが回収されていました。これは正直やめてほしいと思いました。ですが、総合的には立地（湯畑へのアクセス）含めてエクセレントでした。ありがとうございました。"

Livemax Resort Echigo Yuzawa

10/10 Excellent

"Position is convenient for train and restaurants. Onsen area was fabulous alternating temperature between the 2 pools each day. All the personal care items you need. Microwave on each floor is handy. There was at least 1 english speaking staff on front counter at all times. Dinner a little expensive but food was nice."
