Kusatsu Hotel Guide - Mononugu Pond hotels in Kusatsu, Japan.

"Good breakfast, friendly staff, clean room"

"First, the pictures on expedia or even the hotels website did not do this place justice. This is a gorgeous hotel with lots to do and see. We were checked in by "Lucky" who spoke really great english. He spent about an hour with us checking us in, walking us to our rooms, showing us everything in our rooms and helping with luggage. Both the dinner and breakfast were buffet with lots of options. I think we were the only foreigners there but they did not treat us any different. The shuttle down to the town square is very convenient. We did not use the hot springs but we did use the open air bath in our room which was amazing. The beds were reasonable comfortable. Enjoyed the plethora of amenities and open space in the room. "

"The hotel is in need of an update, rooms are very dated (very nostalgic), in our room, we have a phone with a dialing wheel, which can only be found in very few places or museum. The hotel is located very close to the main Onsen street. Also a free shuttle to and from Bus station. The staff are up keeping the very standard Japanese serving standard, very courteous , friendly and helpful. The onsen is good but not spectacular. The food is also in the “good but not spectacular” category. The happy hour between 4-6pm is a plus to allow guest to unwind after a day of travel to the Onsen."

"Dinner is great! Onsen facilities are great! Place is clean and has a traditional ryokan vibe as described. Must come!"

"Breakfast is really good, they are many choices, all taste great! In-room hot-spring bath is very relaxing with good views. It would be even better if the front desk staff could understand more English."

"Great quality food and Onsen. Very clean and staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is great as it is a quick walk to the Yubetake and main shopping street. We got new yukata and night clothes each day. "

"Yes, the room was spotless "

"Staff were the best in hospitality I have ever met! Food choices and drinks amazing. 3 minute walk to lift and can ski from there most of the resorts! Great location and place to stay! Easy to get by bus and train from Tokyo no car necessary."

"My room was very well maintained. I loved the included open air bath next to the shower. The staff were all very kind and accommodated my questions well. "
