If you are looking to stay in a very traditional Japanese Ryokan (Inn), this place is nice - right down to the paper thin walls. Food - was amazing. ##### Adam ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 11 Aug 2021 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### また使わせていただきたい旅館です 130年の歴史を感じる古い建物ですが、清掃が行き届いており快適です。温泉は小さめで厳選かけ流しでとても熱いですが水出し放題なので大丈夫でした。 食事はどれも美味、終始従業員さんとの会話が楽しくてよい時間を過ごせました。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### KENICHI 29 Mar 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### 料理と接客に心配りを感じるお宿でした 夕朝食の料理はおいしく、食事中もいろいろと心配りとコミュニケーションを図ってもらいました。４月から料理長を務めていた方が総支配人になられるというお話も伺い、いろいろな夢を熱く語られていたことがとても印象的でした。 施設はよくいえば昭和の良き時代を今に残す趣深い雰囲気、シビアにいえばややもすると老朽化が否めないとも言えなくもないのですが、それを補ってあまりある冒頭の心配りとサービス、人情味のあるお宿だったと思います。 上田城等上田市観光をメインに訪問し、折角なので温泉をと思い選択した温泉地でしたが、周辺にいくつもの温泉地があり、「別所温泉」そのものの魅力、差異化が必要かもしれない…などとお宿とは別の観点で感じた旅路でした。 ##### KENICHI Stayed 1 night in Mar 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 9 Mar 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 素敵な旅館でした！ ホスピタリティあふれる対応で、快適に過ごさせていただきました。お風呂も朝食も、素晴らしかったです。築140年の建物はさすがに年季が入っていましたが、大切に、綺麗に使用されていました。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Eran 3 Nov 2019 Liked: Room comfort Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Run down Ryokan with high potential with a bit of a face lift Natural Onsen with a little garden was the highlight, and so was the location and the little village around ##### Eran Stayed 1 night in Oct 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 13 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 楽しい一泊でした。ありがとうございました 老舗旅館なので設備は少しずつ新しくしている様ですが、客室、お風呂等キレイにお掃除され清潔でした。山荘の方に宿泊したので階段が多かったです。が、坪庭や露天風呂が素敵で、源泉からの温泉水が豊富で蛇口のお湯も温泉なのには驚きました。また宿の方は明るく気さくで親切でとても気持ちよく過ごさせていただきました。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 5 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 他の方の口コミ通り夕食が良かった。建物は古いが歴史を感じられる。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 13 Feb 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### まるこ 別所温泉は初めてでしたが、これまで浸かった温泉の中でも最高でした。蛇口からも温泉が出ていたので、一日中温泉の香りに包まれてほっこりしました。 お宿は古く設備も便利ではありませんでしたが、趣きのある昭和レトロな空間でした。 今回はスキー旅行でしたので、素泊まりにしましたが、次回は評判のお食事も頂きにあがりたいと思います。 宿の方の対応もとても丁寧で、気持ちよく滞在させて頂きました。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 19 Aug 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 佐久の鯉! 早い時間帯のチェックインに応じて頂き、助かりました。娘が鯉シャブ他料理を気に入り、又来たいと言っております。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 23 Jul 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Very traditional ryokan, 10min walk from the station. Good onsen, lovely staff (0 English spoken) and good food overall but everything is in serious need of renovation, a thorough cleaning (dust, spider webs) and a better service (bins not emptied, limited toiletries, no mirror in the room). Nice experience but not worth the price. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 22 Nov 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service 女将の心のこもったおもてなしがとても印象的でした。建物がどうしても古いため、晩秋だと部屋は底冷えがしましたが、湯量豊富な源泉かけ流しの温泉と、料理長の作る夕食は素晴らしかったです。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### FUYUKI 24 Oct 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 温かい宿 別所温泉で江戸時代から続く由緒ある旅館。 確かに建物は古いし、現代のバリアフリーからは遠いけど、アンティークな良さが感じられます。料理も地元の名産を駆使し、山合いの宿ということで海の幸を使わず、魚は鯉にするなどのこだわりに納得です。加えてスタッフさんの温かいサービスが心地よく、十分にリラックスすることが出来ました。 ##### FUYUKI Stayed 1 night in Oct 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 11 Oct 2017 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### とてものんびりできました。 女将さんのおっとりとしながらも丁寧な対応、そしておいしい料理がとても好印象でした。 確かに建物は古いので洒落た宿がお好みの方には不向きかもしれませんが、たっぷり温泉につかってくつろぐのにはとても適したお宿だと思います。ただ内湯は少し熱すぎるので、給湯量を少しだけ絞ってその分を露天に回されたらいかがかと思います。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeffrey 1 Aug 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Traditional Japanese It was a very traditional Japanese experience, which is exactly what I wanted. I really enjoyed my stay. The staff did not speak much English (hardly any), but were very helpful and friendly. They had two small hot springs baths, one for men and one for women, which would be switched once or twice a day. One of them has an outside bath as well. I strongly recommend getting the room with both breakfast and dinner included, so that you get the full onsen experience. ##### Jeffrey Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 18 Apr 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 接待體貼 淳樸，恬靜! 很有古典的氣氛! 完全感受傳統「日式」旅館!正! ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### sweeper, 東京 28 Feb 2017 Liked: Staff & service #### 落ち着いた温泉旅館 小高い丘のある旅館です。施設は古いですが、wi-fiも整備され、客室には液晶テレビが備えられています。トイレもウォシュレット付です。 全体的には昭和の旅館という感じです。 ##### sweeper ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 27 Jan 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### 昭和レトロで、まるで金田一耕助の映画のよう。別所最古の掛け流しの素朴な味わいを。 お世辞にも素晴らしいとは言えない部屋のしつらえですが、古くてもよい、味わいが心地よい人にはオススメです。他の近隣の新築では味わえない、別所ならではの鄙びた感じが満喫できます。通好みで、知る人ぞ知る掛け流しとして、有名人も来られています。今時、引き戸で出入りして温泉に行くあたり、たまらないと思います。 ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Taro 2 Sept 2021 ##### Taro Stayed 1 night in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 24 Sept 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kenji 2 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Kenji Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 17 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Waritpong 27 May 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Waritpong Stayed 1 night in May 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 31 Mar 2019 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 28 Nov 2016 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller ---
