Friendly staff and well managed Japanese ryokan

Sansatei is just perfect for the stay. Definitely will be back whenever I go to Tohoku area. Perfect location for rent-a-car trip. Surroundings are very peaceful and have a couple of local Japanese pubs. As I told at check-out, I will be back here with my parents. Breakfast & Dinner service is absolutely perfect. Very yummy & clean foods. Thanks a lot for your business.

Great value and Excellent views

The hotel is old, but you will enjoy this place if you are looking for traditional Japanese Ryokan. The hotel service was excellent. All the staff were very professional and friendly. We loved hot springs. The Rotenburo view is limited, but it is a very relaxing place. The best part was the views from our hotel room. We loved heavenly mountain views and river views every moment. I think this hotel has a great value. I will stay at this hotel again.

Excellent service, there was an english speaker at front who was very helpful. We had dinner a short walk from hotel and breakfast with hotel. They allowed early check in! And provided covered parking spot for my wife's and my motorcycles. Very helpful after 3 hours riding in rain.

Het gebouw ziet er buiten wat achterstallig uit, maar binnen is er netjes en schoon. De kamer was ruim met mooi uitzicht, de onsen is zeer plezierig en de personeel erg attent. Leuke eettentjes is de beurt.

・トイレはウオシュレットではない。 ・朝食のみのプランを選択。選択理由は宿からの「客が満足することに自信あり」であったが、何の特徴もなく、きたいはずれも甚だしい。

무척 만족한 산사테이 후기

주변은 스키장이 있어 경관도 좋고 한적했습니다. 그래서인지 식당같은게 별로없긴했지만 호텔이 깨끗하고 관리도 잘해주시고 온천까지 할 수 있어서 무척 좋았습니다. 직원들도 친절하시고 맘에 쏙드는 하룻밤이었어요. 정만 잘 쉬다 왔어요~^^

4人部屋を予約したが、4枚の布団を敷いたら他のスペースがなかった。窓を開けたかったかが部屋に網戸がなかったので、なくなく冷房を使ったが冷房が苦手な人も考慮して欲しい。またかけ布団の羽毛かホコリがひどくて、やはり窓が開けれなくてつらかった。 朝食の有料バイキング1500円をオプションでつけたが、全体的にひどかった。味付けがしょっぱく、美味しくなかった。昨年はバイキングではなかったがとても美味しかった分、本当に残念だった。あのレペルで1500円は高過ぎるし、今後は利用しないと思う。
