Omiya Ryokan

10/10 Excellent
"Classic Japanese interior with tatami flooring but more modern bedding. Walls are thin so be careful not to be too loud and disturb the others. I could hear the conversation of others when they walked by my door and in their rooms when I walked by theirs. Onsen was nice and has a small covered outdoor section. I went inbetween the peak seasons and you can see the the town itself asleep, so many shops were closed. I speak Japanese but the staff were quick to double check if I needed things to be explained in English. I wouldn't bring a big loud group here. I do recommend for a classic quiet, slow, relaxed, Japanese ryokan."

8/10 Good
"Staff were excellent. Very friendly and were excited to promote Aizuwakamatsu and the Fukushima mascot, Akabeko. Helped me by moving me to a non-smoking room after I had mistakenly booked a smoking room. Breakfast was okay, and free. Parking is on-site via a mechanical tower. One elevator for 11 floors - the elevator is often crowded, with a queue sometimes. My only problem was that the rooms are not soundproofed, the other guests on my floor were extremely noisy and could be heard through the walls and shouting in the corridoor."

"Very good hotel in this city. Only few items to be desired; 1. Water supply and foucet were very old and temperature adjustment must be done by manually adjusting the opening of hot and cold water. 2. It is a bit far from the station. 1200 yen by taxi. BUt there are many restaurants within 5 to 10 minutes walk. Other than these non-issues, the hotel is well maintained, clean and staff were very friendly and polite."

"This was a nice hotel located very close to aizuwakamatsu station. It was dated- the bathroom was clean, but had a kind of old smell. The air conditioning didn’t work well, but it was cool enough to open the window. There were no laundry facilities, but there was a coin laundry pretty close by. We were given drink vouchers for each night’s stay but we didn’t use them because we felt underdressed for the restaurant. The staff was very friendly and helpful- we transferred luggage and they were very helpful with that. Close to a 7-eleven and restaurants were nearby. Overall a nice stay and would stay again if going to the Aizu area."
