Close to everything at a walking distance: bus stop, Hell Valley, and other places of interest, restaurants, and shops. For a room in Japan, this one feels spacious. It can comfortably accommodate 2 people with carry-on luggages. The bathroom was a delight because it was roomy and the toilet had these interesting features, uniquely Japanese. Free access to the grand bath onsen at the bigger hotel across the street. The laundry room is a big relief to one-bag travellers, just have 100 yen coins on hand. The cafe at the lobby makes great croissants. On the day before our last day, we carelessly left our key cards in our room and one of the staff manning the cafe patiently came to our rescue.

Wifi was of little to no use in our room. We stayed at Room 712, the topmost corner of the hotel and probably the spot that is barely touched by any signal. We only get to use the wifi at the cafe but even there, the browsing experience still gets interrupted. We wished the baked goods at the cafe were available all days of the week.

There is a cafe available at the lobby. Self checkin/checkout, Pay onsen fee Yen300/night/pax. Twin bed in room with reasonable room size. Washer and dryer available with fee. There is a small onsen at the hotel. Free parking across the road. Hotel guests are free to use the onsen at Dai-ichi Takimotokan Hotel which has many pools that is just across the road using the room card.

Wifi is weak in the room. There are sofa and table at the lift lobby area where the Wifi is strong. Sometime, we go there to get signal strength. Hotel should improve on this. Nearby shops are closed at 5pm, limited dinner choices.

- Very large and clean room, the hotel was recently renovated. - Great location, especially if you want to visit Jigokudani Valley in early morning. - The bakery in the lobby offers tasty baguettes and other pastries, the smell in the morning is amazing. - The staff in the bakery was helpful with the checkin process, kudos to them.

- WiFi was very unstable, I am aware that this is an onsen town and not everyone needs to be constantly connected to the Internet, however, I had a to do a bit of work and any attempt to load something more data-consuming resulted in high ping rates and lost packets. I ended up using my phone. This is not very important for most people, so I am not really taking it into consideration.

Short stroll from the bus terminal along a "shopping street". There are eateries and mini marts near the property. Self check-in and out are hassle free and quick. Staff are available to help if needed. Room is dated but of a decent size. One of the bigger room I experienced in Japan thus far. Bathroom on the other hand is pretty modern with a shower room. Wifi connection is good and room has adequate power outlet. The best part of all is the ability to use the grand bath of Takimotokan, just across the street. A great experience in the grand bath especially the outdoor bath.

The light sensor at the door can be a nuisance as the slightest movement will trigger it on while seated at the table.

The hotel is located in the middle of Noboribetsu Onsen, in front of the Dai-ichi Takimotokan ryokan. It was unfortunately pouring rain the day I arrived in the late morning, but I stayed in the Adex Inn café to do some work and they have a nice choice of snacks and drinks (it's also great for a light breakfast). When I could check in (it's a self check in but it's pretty easy to do so), I had access to the onsen facilities at the Dai-ichi Takimotokan which are absolutely incredible. The room was quite big, clean, comfortable and bright. It was western-style as well. They also have a sento inside the Adex Inn hotel but I didn't use it because I spent plenty of time in the onsens. It was a very nice place to stay at!

The wi-fi connection was a bit unstable at times, so if you can, it might be better to use the tethering.

The access to the onsen was amazing, and the lobby/ Caffè was delightful. Beds were very comfy

Bathroom is very dated and tap was rusty but we just used the onsen instead.

My original booking was at the Takimoto Inn (now known as Adex Inn) which is the smaller sister inn of the famous Takimotokan. Due to sudden renovations, we were allocated rooms at the much bigger and luxurious Takimotokan. I'd known about the praises surrounding the hotel, but I wasn't aware of the reasons why until now. It was fabulous. Wonderful onsen. Delicious buffet. Excellent location. Beautiful interior and facilities. First, the onsen. I've visited the hot spring facility before as I had stayed at Takimoto Inn in 2019. There are many different types of hot spring to soak and relax in. The most recommended one is the sulphur onsen, which is guaranteed to make your skin as smooth as silk. The outdoors bath is amazing too and even more so if it happens to snow. Second, the dinner buffet. At only 4,400 yen per person, it was definitely value for money. Unlimited crab legs, sashimi, and ikura (salmon roe). The wagyu beef was absoutely delicious and all the desserts were delectable. My most favourite dessert would be the yuzu ice-cream. The only drawback was that you had to pay for drinks, though water was available for free. Third, the room. It was beautiful and warm. The beds were comfortable and everything seemed to be designed for the convenience and comfort of the guests using it.

The breakfast buffet had very limited choices and was definitely not worth 2,200 per person. I wish they would serve kaisen-don (seafood rice) just like most traditional onsen hotels and offer more Western dishes, such as yogurt and cheese.

This hotel is amazing. Fantastic facilities. The bed was really comfortable. There are lots of little touches and an amazing bathroom. It's right in town and the sister hotel to the huge luxurious one across the road, so as guests here, you could visit the Grand Bath there for free as often as you liked. Easy to walk everywhere. The room I had was really quiet. There is a great cafe on the ground floor. They make a really good ham and lettuce roll. The best is freshly baked and nice and crunchy. Unfortunately, the bakery section is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so no baked goods. This hotel also had its own onsen. I tried it out. Same water as that across the road. Relaxing and a pleasant temperature. Great washing facilities with quality products. I recommend trying this onsen as well as the Grand Bath.

Nothing

The facility had been remodeled and the rooms and common areas were very nice. The onsen was adequate, but with access to the largest baths in Asia across the street included in the price, nothing to complain about. Free parking nearby for the rental car was nice.

The bakery was not really operating when I was there - weekdays - and that was disappointing. For this price, I would have expected breakfast. Also, no welcoming drinks as is standard in so many ryokans and hotels - just a pay as you go coffee bar.

- Staff were helpful and friendly. - Clean rooms - Yukata for guests to wear to the onsen. - Complementary parking at the Takimotokan Hotel across the street. - Convenient location in the the Noboribetsu Onsen "town". Minutes walk to eateries, shops, walking trails, and cultural performance (if you visit during summer). - Complementary access to the Grand Bath (onsen) at Takimotokan Hotel. Wide range of baths and pools to choose from. Excellent facilities.
