The room was clean but a little old and a couple spots creaked. Staff was friendly and helpful. The gym/pool was not free even though i had a suite and the buffet had a good variety but it was hell to walk around. The open air bath was really far away and was given 1 water bottle because i was solo? Again, on a suite? There may seem to be a lot of issues but it was still better than most 4 star hotels.

It would have been better if breakfast had been served as individual sets rather than a buffet. The buffet area felt quite overwhelming when everyone was trying to get their food, and some guests even cut the line. Serving breakfast at the tables would help create a more comfortable and orderly dining experience.

Enjoyable stay

There's staff to welcome and orientate us upon arrival. And since it's a large hotel with 3 buildings, the staff briefed us and walked us to the building where our room was. Nice breakfast and we have 3 onsens to choose from! It's also conveniently located within walking distance or a short drive to the main sights at Gero.

The hotel is big and could cater to big crowds without having the guests feeling overcrowding. The 3 onsens are spread over 3 different blocks of building but very walkable within indoor (hence no concern about rain or cold weather). Buffet breakfast was excellent with good spread of western and Japanese cuisine. Parking onsite is complimentary and the hotel is walkable to small town with eateries, shops and cafes. The option to have western and Japanese beddings in the room is good especially when travelling with elderly. The young ones can experience sleeping on tatami while the western bedding provides comfort for the elderly.

The most dirtiest 4 star hotel I’ve ever stayed

At check in, the staffs handles the luggage for Japanese visitors ONLY, not anyone else. All 3 onsite restaurants serve reservations only, no walk-ins, and the staffs doesn’t tell you at all until you found out yourselves. No in-room slippers besides the one wears within the hotel. No hair brush at all, there’s only one in the public onsen area which was terribly dirty that used by everyone. The outdoor onsen was okay, but the panoramic onsen has water keep dripping down to your head from the ceiling because of the steams. The room is the smallest comparing to other onsen hotels, the TV is very small, the bathroom is extremely small and dirty, the shower curtain has dead bug, stains, mildew and mold on it. The buffet breakfast is very poor and simply me, not much varieties, plus 85% of stuffs are vegetarian, the restaurant closes at 10am, but they STOP refilling any of the food trays anymore from 9am at one of the mornings during my stay. This is totally should not be rated as a 4 star hotel, you feel like been staying at a 2.5 star ryokan!!! No services and not clean. Will never ever staying here again and totally not recommended.

We booked the traditional suite room, it was so big and comfy, the only thing I really didn’t like is the hair dryer, it is the very old one that fixed on the wall with very low heat and air came out. We asked the hotel for any portable hairdryer but they didn’t have it. For woman like me with long hair, you better bring your own hairdryer, if not you probably need to dry your hair with at least 20mins just like me. I will come again if they change the hair dryer, if not I believe gero have lots of other options too

The beautiful grand old lady - we had a Japanese style room which find out the type of the room was not for everyone- hard to get up from floor since we are seniors. But other than that like having personal guide to take to your room after checking in was a huge help. Restaurants and breakfast buffets were good. It’s an old Japanese hotel which will give you great old Japanese hospitality but not modern ones. We had good experience.

This place has everything you need in a full service onsen resort hotel, and it has the history to go with it. Great place for families, couple or solo travellers. Easy access to Gero station. Multiple restaurants in the hotel if you don't wish to head out. 3 different baths, including one that is open 24hrs. The size of the hotel (biggest in Gero) means there is a lack of intimacy and privacy that you get from a smaller, more family-run onsen ryokan. Also, it can get busy with a lot of people moving around, but it's also lively because of that. Probably the best breakfast buffet I've had in an onsen hotel. I'll probably try another ryokan if I'm in Gero again but this makes a great first-time stay.

Okay for a traditional Japanese Onsen hotel, but my wife was not very comfortable about all the 3 Onsens in this hotel. The Onsen on the ground floor was not well covered, so we can actually see all males having Onsen in the open from the hotel room or common walkway at the upper floor. Also level 3 and level 9 onsen one side of it is with many glass panel facing the opposite hotel and facilities which make it not comfortable for certain Asian travelers....

An experience to Japanese hospitality

This place was our retreat in the middle of the trip. From the moment we step into the lobby, there were staffs who lined at the front door and bow to greeting us! So stunning my grand daughter jumped up and one of the staff couldn't hold his laughing :)

We stay in a superior room with futon, Japanese - Western room. The room locate in 7th floor and I believe the whole floor was non- smoking only. I have bad back pain and couldn't sleep on floor, that no problem as the room has twin beds plus for Japanese feel there was a tatami place for seating and if your party more than 2 persons, the extra persons can sleep on futon in that area. A young staff lead us to our room, took all our heavy bags and politely refuse our help!'

The view in my room was perfect: it looked out to the station instead of the bridge and the town. However, I didnt heard much noise from the train as we were on higher floor and the view to the mountain at the morning was beautifulenough!

Our room rate including breakfast, Suimeikan's breakfast was good on itself: There was Japanese dishes as well as Western dishes, plenty of choice! I was fed to my neck :)

I liked our stay at Suimeikan a lot, what's an excellent typical Japanese hospitallity to experienced! Not only the staffs bowed when we ready to leave, the lady owner herself came to the shuttle bus to wave good bye to her guests!Hope that I will have a chance to return to Suimeikan in the future!

I and my husband spend great time at Suimeikan. The hotel was clean and stuff was very friendly. We also enjoyed an awesome traditional Japanese dinner and great selection of breakfast. 3 different onsen/hot springs were so nice and we were very relaxed. One suggestion is that they probably need more English/other language signs. There are quite few overseas travellers who haven't had much onsen experience. It will be helpful for them to understand some rules and remove the confusion.
