How do I put this? I wish I could stay there for more days. It was so relaxing and worry free staying there. Room was clean, staff were top notch, all the details were just perfect!

It was our first staying at a Ryokan, we enjoyed our stay because our rooms are big and comfortable. The morning bath at the open air bath during sub zero temperature was my most unforgettable experience. Would definitely visit again when I go back to Japan.

We booked the traditional suite room, it was so big and comfy, the only thing I really didn’t like is the hair dryer, it is the very old one that fixed on the wall with very low heat and air came out. We asked the hotel for any portable hairdryer but they didn’t have it. For woman like me with long hair, you better bring your own hairdryer, if not you probably need to dry your hair with at least 20mins just like me. I will come again if they change the hair dryer, if not I believe gero have lots of other options too

I love the Suimeikan! This is the 5th time I've stayed at the hotel. Their onsen is THE best and they have three great onsen options. Our room was clean and spacious. Love the traditional tatami room. Also, their breakfast buffet is really delicious, especially if you like Japanese breakfast - although their butter roll is amazing!

We loved the Suimeken. We were warmly welcomed upon entering, and a friendly staff guided us around since it’s a fairly large compound. We were very happy with our room and the facilities all around. Great place to come unwind.

The beautiful grand old lady - we had a Japanese style room which find out the type of the room was not for everyone- hard to get up from floor since we are seniors. But other than that like having personal guide to take to your room after checking in was a huge help. Restaurants and breakfast buffets were good. It’s an old Japanese hotel which will give you great old Japanese hospitality but not modern ones. We had good experience.

This place has everything you need in a full service onsen resort hotel, and it has the history to go with it. Great place for families, couple or solo travellers. Easy access to Gero station. Multiple restaurants in the hotel if you don't wish to head out. 3 different baths, including one that is open 24hrs. The size of the hotel (biggest in Gero) means there is a lack of intimacy and privacy that you get from a smaller, more family-run onsen ryokan. Also, it can get busy with a lot of people moving around, but it's also lively because of that. Probably the best breakfast buffet I've had in an onsen hotel. I'll probably try another ryokan if I'm in Gero again but this makes a great first-time stay.

The room was very nice, spacious, and clean. I loved how the shower & bath had its own separate room in the bathroom. The multiple onsens were nice - 3 separate onsem areas spaced throughout the hotel.

Absolutely incredible! It went above and beyond my expectations with very friendly staff, a beautiful room with a gorgeous view of the mt behind the station, and a large array of delicious food at the breakfast buffet. Additionally, we had access to all three onsen within the hotel for free, with none of them feeling overcrowded and all well maintained with beautiful designs.

Japansese dinner meal quality was kind of mediocre. We actually asked for a change to Chinese food on our 2nd night, which was surprisingly good. Onsen quality was excellent. Breakfast was also good too.

The hotel is huge and self contained with 3 buildings, 3 onsen facilities and 3-4 restaurants. Just 2-3 minutes walk from the JR station very conveniently located. Strangely enough, the town itself appears dead with most restaurants closed during this winter/spring season.

Dear Guest, Thank you for choosing us for your recent stay and for nice remark especially of our facilities: several buildings, onsen, restaurants and the easy access to JR station. Most of the shops and restaurants in town don’t have long business hour since we are the onsen town and most of people stay in hotel during night-time. However I believe they open at least day time from morning! I assume that you went around the town in night time? We hope next time you will enjoy the town of Gero as well. We are looking forward to having you in the future again. Thank you,

Dear Jessica, Thank you very much for taking the time to review us on Expedia. We are glad you had a good experience at our hotel, especially of our Onsen. We are sorry that you couldn't have dinner at our place since you were told that reservation was required... It was definitely not our standards, but if the hotel is really busy, it happens that we can't serve the dinner for guests who don't have advance reservation since the number of seats is limited. I will share your feedback with our team and propose the remediation plan such as giving the guests advance guidance of reservation required if it's in busy season as I believe this serves as motivation for us all to maintain and improve our service quality. We hope to welcome you back at Suimeikan.

Great hotel! We stayed in the deluxe room and it was very spacious, with a separate area with chairs, balcony with chairs, a separate changing area, mini pantry and separate toileting and shower area. Dinner in room was 9 course and very extravagant. Buffet breakfast was great too with plenty of western and japanese selection. 3 onsens was too much, we only stay one night and had to try all 3. Even dessert at lobby cafe was good, tried the parfait and it was yummy. Staff was very attentive, friendly and helpful. Overall very nice stay.
