Great location, nice staff. The rooms were nice but could have been cleaner (according to Japanese standards) We can see it's a hotel with a lot of potential, the bath were great also ! I don't know why this hotel has such bad rating. Let's say that I would recommend for people who travel cheap and are not fancy ! Keep in mind that it's a traditional hotel there's no AC, nor heating so the room will be cold if you come during winter ! But you'll have a kotatsu (table with covers and a heater) to keep you warm. There's toilets in the room so very convenient.

The Nozaru Onsen Hostel is a delightful spot that I had the pleasure of visiting. One of its standout features is the magnificent view of the river, offering a serene and picturesque backdrop that's hard to find elsewhere. The tranquil waters complement the hostel's relaxing vibe, making it an ideal retreat for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. Additionally, the offer of unlimited drinks adds an extra layer of value and convenience to your stay, ensuring you're well-hydrated and content without the need to venture far. This thoughtful touch, coupled with the stunning natural scenery, makes the Nozaru Onsen Hostel a must-visit for travellers seeking a peaceful and accommodating environment.

Location was great. Close to good restaurants. Staff was friendly. Onsen was amazing and makes the stay well worth it.

Superb location to walk to Jigokudani via the 2.5km road that is closed in the winter. Makes for a stunning short hike. The hostel is situated on the east side of Yamanouchi, right next to the main temple and makes for some lovely walking around that part of town.

Shibu onsen is amaizing, beautiful and quiet at night, and Nozaru ryokan is right in the heart of onsen village. I really liked how this run-down building look, and I was happy to have spacious room with kotatsu and nice rotemburo for a price of a hostel. Girl on the reception was nice, too.

Big comfortable rooms. Nice and warm in the room but cold in the common areas. Onsen is very hot but good. A little run down. Parking isn't easy as they only have 5 spaces.

The owners and staff were so kind! Made my stay very memorable. And the onsen was amazing. Gets a tad bit cold during winters but they always refilled the gas for the heater and were very helpful with recommendations. You can rent out towels and yukata for a very good price too!

The room was well equipped with multiple quilts, a heater and all of the traditional japanese furniture. Nice and spacious with it’s own toilet and bathroom. The hostels own onsen was really nice, clean and in many ways actually better than the traditional onsens in the town.

I liked the location, I liked that it looked inside like from the movies in the 80's. I really enjoyed kotatsu in a room. The onsen was nice too.

Great onsen (better than the nine public onsens), fantastic facility (big room, heated table, balcony,...). We were very happy there.
