Kobara Vacation Packages

I booked this hotel some months ago and I started reading reviews prior to check in. I'll admit I got a bit nervous. That being said we decided to stay the night and try it out. First impressions were that there was more space than many rooms we've stayed in while in Japan. Many features look newish and it has a full kitchen. Then things get weird. The wall paper is peeling off. There's a persistent bad smell. There's roach traps everywhere. I tried to shower and the shower nozzle fell off. My husband tried to leave to do a Lawson run and the latch on the lock fell off. The beds were surprisingly comfortable but it's also loud in the morning with people talking in the alleyway. It was fine for the night but I wouldn't stay here again.

Great location near station, super comfortable place with plenty of room. The kitchenette was very useful and practical, and the washer/dryer was excellent and twice as fast as other places in Japan. Would definitely recommend and stay here again. Air conditioning worked great also.

Great experience: clean, quiet, great breakfast, excellent room, awesome onsen!

Clean and peaceful
