3-Star Hotels in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan

Access is excellent as it is right in front of the station rotary. This is probably the oldest hotel in this area. Breakfast was delicious at the teppanyaki restaurant in the hotel. I think it would be nice to have a USB power jack or charger these days.

I have returned home. There are many route inns in that area, and some places have more toyoko inns. Anyway, the chains are similar.

The Celecton Hotel opened in 2019.It is quite new and within a short walk from Tsuchiura Station . There is a Kasumi supermarket near the station. You can get a set of very comfortable pyjamas when you check in at the front desk. Public onsens for males and females , ice making machine , drinks vending machine , microwave machine are all on the ground floor. We didn't try the breakfast as there were many other food options nearby. Aeon mall is a short bus ride from Tsuchiura Station.

The hotel is walking distance from the station, that's why we chose it. Indeed, it is walking distance from the station, which made our trip super convenient. They have hand sanitizing alcohol at the entrances and outside elevators, which I like. The staff was nice and helpful. We did not get to try the food. It would have been nice if there were facilities or activities to wind down after a long day, but our room is very cozy and larger than the ones in Tokyo. I like that the room had a divider for the bed area and the living room area, and the TV could flip both sides too. I like that we had a sofa and a work table in the room, where we could eat snacks and prep for the day. The mirror on the table was particularly useful. I like that the bathroom has a separate section for the sink and for the toilet. I enjoyed their bathtub very much. The closet area is wide enough with enough hangers as well. Too bad I do not have pictures of the room, but it was nice getting to stay here!

The receptionist's response was very good. There is a welcome drink. The amenities were solid and I was grateful that the washing machine and dryer were free of charge. It's old, but it's clean. Thank you.

Service was very good. But hotel is old and not as clean as picture shows. But many many antiques in the lobby area.. .the carpeted area in the room needs to change. It feels dusty and like not vacuumed. The futons were ready ,rolled up at the side of the room. We jus unrolled them at bedtime. They have the smallest pillow I've seen after staying in hundreds of ryokans across Japan.. Their dinner is the best I've had . Very full meal. Lobster included and very delicious. Breakfast was simple and good. With the important seasonal food . Meals in this ryokan is worth bragging about. Hotel can be better if some renovation is done to the soiled carpets and a good cleanup of the rooms.. Advantage of being able to leave car at the car park lot and walk 3mins to the nearby riverside garden.. The elderly couple running the ryokan were very friendly and helpful. Very kind people.

環境很美 設備很乾淨清潔 溫泉的風景一流 所有服務員都非常之好 還有特別感謝會講普通話的服務員Miss黃 她非常之細心 安排好一切 還講解我們準備明天行山時 需要注意的事 謝謝你 這次是非常好的體驗 這間溫泉酒店我非常推介 希望下次會再嚟

Next to a mall. Convenient for meals. And some shopping . A pity there's no public bath. Coin laundry available. . Staff service is fine. Except when I checked in. I got a lady staff coughing non stop and trying to explain to me the check in details.. she was not wearing a mask. That's not nice and I was upset. But had to cover my nose and mouth with a tissue paper. As I was caught suddenly facing a coughing staff. And didn't have time to pull out my medical.mask. Parking was convenient. Drive to the small parking space behind the hotel. And you will be guided to use the special car lift to park car. Don't need to use the public multi storey car park.next door.

Absolutely loved the natural hot springs, and the complimentary ramen in the evening was a delightful touch. The breakfast spread was incredibly varied, featuring a wonderful selection of Japanese dishes that I truly enjoyed. Being able to customize my own seafood rice bowl, especially with the fresh tuna, was a fantastic bonus! The room was also a good size. Overall, I was very satisfied.

The staff were very nice, I had no difficulty checking in, and I received a free meal (frozen to put in the microwave). There is a Lawson just a block away. The room was very clean (no odor at all), much more spacious than I expected, and there were plenty of electrical outlets, even one next to the bed. There was an air purifier/humidifier and an AC/heating unit. Some people probably like the firmness of the bed, but I would have preferred it to be softer. I wished there was a reading lamp at the head of the bed. FYI: There are steps to enter each room and a large step into the bathroom.
