The hotel's public and private onsen were highly praised for being incredible and very nice. (3 reviews)
I stayed only for one night but the hotel was excellent, staff were helpful, spacious Japanese style room. A bit of walk from the Kinugawa Onsen Station but it is a nice walk. I will stay again if I am in the area again.

The room was magnificent! It was huge with great view of the mountains! Heater worked wonderful! It was freezing outside so a good heater was super good for the night!
It was a Japanese style room, tatami floors and beds
AND they had extra beds to make it more comfy!
Would stay here again!!!

We really enjoyed staying here, the onsen was so relaxing and beautiful. Some of the staff were very nice and sweet, others were kind of rude. Its also very quiet and safe around the hotel so we liked that. It was hard to find a restaurant within 20 minutes walking that was open for dinner, but we met a sweet auntie who told us where to find good food. We will definitely stay here again when we come to Kinugawa

The hotel is beyond our expectations! Room is very spacious and it has its own bathroom and toilet.
The onsen is amazing. Maybe it’s also because there weren’t many other guests so we got to enjoy the hot springs fully. Very enjoyable.

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Ootaki and would definitely return. The hotel is very traditional and gives you a real insight into traditional Japanese culture. Although the staff had limited English, this was not a problem for us and they were incredibly welcoming and helpful. The hotel has lots of freebies as part of their service including combs, hairbrushes, shower caps, razors etc. The onsen was very relaxing and the hotel was clean.

Although staff doesn't speak English, they are helpful, google translate is good. The hotel is a bit out of the way, there is a 7 11 closed by. The room is nice and big and very quiet. I booked a private bath and it is perfect. For the price i have no issue.

We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Ootaki. It is Like 15 Minutes by feet from the Station and a Konbini is 8 minutes away. You can walk to many bridges with beatiful views. The Room was clean an very big. We enjoyed the private Onsen every evening (They got 2). Public Onsen ist also accessible for free, but since we got Tattoos we only used the private ones. Highly Recommend this one!

We stayed in a standard room, tatami-style, with mattresses on the floor. The room was large with nice views. The hotel itself feels quite dated and front desk staff are not there all day, which is quite challenging if you want to drop luggage off early, etc. If you are using this as a base for Nikko, it takes nearly an hour by train.

Unfortunately our stay here was ruined by a very rude young man at check in. No manners very rude and unhelpful so would not recommend anything about this place at all. This young man should not be working here. The tatami in room was covered in human black hair (not mine) Very outdated inefficient air conditioning and no washlets in room. Note the two older employees were friendly and courteous

I found this Onsen and an excellent offer from Expedia. I wasn’t sure what to expect at such a low price and some mixed reviews. I loved it here and it exceeded my expectations. I dropped off my luggage early and walked the area until check in. Since it is across the river and a bit of a walk from the train station, it was so peaceful and beautiful away from others. I found a town footpath that overlooked the river gorge, a suspension bridge, and interesting decaying resorts from the economic boom downfall of the 90’s. A photographers’ paradise.
The resort seems to be going through a renovation. The room was very large and had living spaces with tatami mats. Oh yes, your room key opens a wooden locker near reception for you to place your shoes- wear socks. Beds were not futons but mattresses on floor. The mini fridge was great. I didn’t even use the bath in the room because the onsen was clean and wonderful. An outdoor bath looks out on a wooded area and is divine. The shower area has great hair and soap products. I had difficulty finding it at first because the instructions are a bit vague with arrows, but if you look for the out building next to and behind you’ll find it easily. Had to walk on plywood boards placed for the renovation and a rock path up to step so be aware. Yukata and slippers are provided. There are two massage chairs and multiple vending machines. I highly recommend staying here.
