I stayed overnight with a group of 80 people, arriving at 7 pm. Week day night. The room is already assigned and we can go to our room right away without having to wait. The room's key was in the room. It was a j Japanese style.If you do not ask other wise the staff would come around 8-9 pm. to set up Futon and. Bed 4 U. But u can ask them to set up a bed on a standard box mattress. Air conditioning /or heater was new and control the room temp quiet perfect. It was -3 Celsius right now at 11 pm. There are typically, safe,fridge, hot/cold water tank in your room. It was old style hotel.,so don't expect bath room and toilet as usual-very small space toilet like u r sitting in a box. Dinner was really and I meant it . Fabulous, lots of variety to choose from. Free onsen / separate btwn /male /female, entertainment room ,,liberly.....very good indeed. Extensive range of food for dinner buffet.

“Very good value!”

Japan can be very hit and miss. I've paid a lot of money in the past and and ended up staying in some pretty woeful places. Conversely, at times when the expenditure has been limited, I have been pleasantly surprised, as I am now with the New Shiobara Hotel. The hotel is another remnant of the bubble era construction boom. Many similar hotels are now showing their age and are not pleasant to stay in. However, the New Shiobara Hotel seems to have kept on top of age related issues and invested in the fixtures and fittings. New furniture and a new flatscreen TV in our room overlooking the river was a very welcome sight. Best part of the experience were the multiple onsen pools to suit every taste - there are surely no other reasons why I would recommend visiting a decaying onsen resort. So, mission accomplished. No great thrills and spills (apart from the onsen) but the hotel does the basic and most important things well at a very reasonable price. I would recommend this place to anyone who seeks to find a good place to stay on a limited budget.
