We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The property was very clean, quiet, and private, which made it the perfect place to relax.

The staff were all incredibly kind and welcoming. We would especially like to thank the lady who served us during dinner and breakfast. She was very friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout our stay. Although her English was limited, she went above and beyond by using Google Translate to explain the menu and answer our questions. Her effort and warm hospitality made us feel truly welcome.

We highly recommend this hotel and would be happy to stay here again in the future.

어머니께서 온천 가고 싶어하셔서, 다녀왔습니다. 정말 만족해 하셨어요. 저희 부부와 어머니 이렇게 세명이서 다녀왔는데, 저희 셋다 또 오자고 약속했습니다. 내부 공간 자체가 예술이고, 대욕장과, 방 안에 있는 내부 온천 말할 것도 없고, 뷰도 정말 아름답고요. 가이세끼도 맛있었습니다. 직원분들 다 친절하시고, 무엇보다 프라이빗한 공간에서 조용히 머물며 온전히 온천과 하나가 되어 가족끼리 쉴 수 있어 행복했습니다.

This was the best hotel experience in our Hokkaido trip! Service was top-notched and the staff was treated you with genuine care, give us home feelings and very patient even if we can’t speak Japanese. Food was freshly and delicious prepared in course for both dinner and breakfast. Private onsen is well-maintained.
Definitely will stay again!

높은 가격만큼 최상의 서비스와 최고의 음식이 나옵니다. 그만큼 조용하고 안락하게 휴식을 즐길 수 있으며, 직원들의 친절도는 최고입니다. 이 이상의 정통료칸은 있을수가 없을 정도 입니다.

여행 마지막을 특별히 만들어주신 스텝 모든 분들 감사합니다
처음 부터 끝까지 완벽했던 시간이었습니다
역 라이딩 서비스가 체크아웃 후 운전기사가 없어서 타지못했으니 이용하실분은 확인해보셔야됩니다

오타루 긴린소

호텔형료칸은 가보았지만 정통료칸은 긴린소가 처음이었는데 너무 좋았습니다.
온천외 할 일은 없지만 편안하게 재충전하기에는 더할나위 없을듯합니다

旅館地點非常好,有市景有海,新館的客房有私人溫泉,泉水不間斷的流出真的很奢侈,館內也有陳列很多藝術品,餐點是典型日式料理,女將雖然不會講英文但還是很努力的溝通,很可惜大浴場在維修
唯一的缺點是交通不變,雖然離火車站很近但是用走的有點距離,搭計程車去比較妥當
