The baths overlooking the ocean were great. The lobby has been renovated with a stunning view. Our room was old and while still nice in need of refurbishment.

We have two bookings at Ginpaso. The confirmation were at i) 152910064560 for two rooms (one for Mr. Chung's two people family and one for Mr. Leung's four people family) and ii) 154643907173. In checking in, we found there is only booking ii) above are with bath room inside the room though the facilities as stated in each of the conformation statements are with Bath Room Facilities inside the room. We try to fight with the hotel management as well call in to Hotel.com to seek help. Though we spent one hour in talking to your agents as well 30 minutes to the hotel management team, we were still unable to get all three rooms with Bath Room. They admit their fault but no remedy possible as the hotel is totally full. Please take it as my official complaints to both Hotel.com as well as Ginpaso and I demand to have 50% room rate discount on the Leung's 4 rooms booking under confirmation number at 152910064560 as the Family are suffered with no Bath Room Facilities inside their room as quoted in the conformation facilities which is indeed a breach of contract.

Great onsen, beautiful meals.
Saw the photos of the outdoor onsen. Was fascinated by it. It took 30min to check in. I emailed them 4days before to enquire about transport. But no response. Seems that they didnt know english. The onsen didnt disappoint luckily. The dinner was beautifully presented and delectable.

A Lovely Hotel Overlooking the Seto Inland Sea
The Ginpaso is an excellent Japanese-style hotel overlooking the Seto Inland Sea. Although it's designed with Japanese tourists in mind, non-Japanese are made to feel welcome. The rooms are comfortable and immaculate. The food is superb, and the hot spring is the best way to relax after a long day of travel or sightseeing.

A Wonderful Japanese Ryokan Experience
The RIHGA Hotel was an amazing place to stay. Go for the baths and love the rest. The hosts lined up to bow to us when we arrived with the women all wearing kimonos. We slipped off our shoes and put on slippers which we wore the whole time we were at the hotel. Our shoes reappeared when we left to go out. The room was a traditional tattami matt room with futons to sleep on with a view of the ocean. Then the onsen, the baths, were the best part. The baths overlooked the ocean and so you were in lovely hot water listening to the waves crash on the beach and the birds flying and chirping. The breakfasts were amazing: beautiful presentation and little dishes just kept arriving, everything being really good. We also ate dinner there two nights with the same wonderful experience. The hotel recommended two excellent restaurants for the other two nights we were there. The staff's English was okay, but they clearly don't get many foreigners at their hotel which for us was a plus. The whole staff bowed to us when we left. Wonderful.

宿のアンケートにも書きましたが夕食でアレルギーがあると伝えたにもかかわらず、その後食材を平気で朝食に出されました。命にも関わることなので、しっかり申し送りしてほしいです。また、宿のアンケートに書いたのに何の反応もないのも不誠実だと思いました。それ以外は快適だったので、残念です。

最高のおもてなしをありがとう！
口コミが良かったので今回の滞在を決めたのですが写真通りの絶景のお風呂で大変満足しました。 料理も食べ切れないほどの量で味も美味しくほんとにぜいたくな1日を過ごさせてもらいました。フロントからの景色も本当に絶景で夜はバーになっていてまたふいんきが違う感じがまた素敵でした。 部屋よりもロビーで時間をすごしたかったぐらいです笑 この日がわたしの誕生日だったんですが、とても素敵な日になって良かったです。

宿泊室が最悪でした。エクスペディアの事前資料ではオーシャンフロントでしたが、実際は窓の真正面が古びたホテルの建物で海は端の方に少し見える程度。部屋も価格の割には狭く、エレベーターを降りたあと非常に急な階段を登る所にあり、閉口しました。 これまで毎年海外旅行でお世話になりましたが、これからは御社を使うことはありません。

宿泊させていただいたのは７階の部屋でしたが、５階から上の部屋へは階段を使う必要があり、入り組んだ通路をクネクネと抜けていく必要があります。露天風呂への往復は迷うかもしれません。部屋は狭く浴室もついておらず、ほぼ寝るだけのスペースといった感じです。 とは言え、部屋からも露天風呂からも海を見渡せる眺望が最高で、また朝食も豪華で、ほぼ満足できました。

館内でスリッパエリアと裸足エリアが分かれていて、スリッパの脱ぎ履きが少々面倒でした。 旅館入口で靴を預かってくれるのですが、フロントスタッフさんが忙しくていらっしゃらない時もあり、外出する際に靴を出してもらうのが心苦しかったりします。 温泉とロビーは眺望が素晴らしいです。

温泉が良かったが、建物の作りが複雑で、迷子になりそう。
予約後に確認電話があり、アレルギーの有無など確認してくれた。 平日の宿泊だったが、チェックイン時に人手が足りないのか、部屋への案内まで待たされた。 浴衣のサイズ変更を部屋から電話で依頼したが、なかなか来ないので、フロントまで交換に行った。泊まった部屋は、エレベーターがない部屋で、２回分階段で上がらないといけなかったので、膝の悪い母には辛かった。 温泉は景色もお湯もが最高に良かった。ご飯もとても美味しく、食べきれなかったご飯を夜食用におにぎりにしてもらえた。

高齢者は、階段が厳しい。事前に聞いて欲しい。 こちらの事情をそれとなく相談したら、すぐに追加料金で部屋を変えられますと言われた。 通路も迷路のようで、わかりにくかった。 部屋も海側でしたが、すぐ下が調理場で、窓を開けられなかった。

レストランは外国人スタッフが多いですが、とても教育されているのか、キレイな日本語と丁寧な接客をしていただきました。 また、フロントスタッフの方々にも色々とケアしていただき、快適な時間を過ごせました。 少しだけ残念だったのが、部屋の洗面台に前の方のゴミ(歯ブラシ入れビニールを開封した時の切れ端)がハンドソープ容器の前に落ちていたことと空気清浄機に要クリーンのランプが点灯していたこと。 温泉からの景色も良く、夕朝食も美味しく、スタッフも親切な方が多かった分悪い点がいつもより気になりました。 それを差し引いてもプラス評価ですが、隅の埃はもはや気にしませんがわかりやすい場所はせめて気をつけていただければと思います。 また、泊まる予定です。
