Ubusuna佐波 (Ubusuna Sanami)

We checked in yesterday and felt compelled to post a review so others considering booking can make a more informed decision, especially from a guest’s perspectives. All the earlier reviews have been helpful, though none highlighted that it is organised into two separate floors with living (and the only toilet) on ground floor and bedroom and bath (no toilet) upstairs. So if you’re up middle of the night for a pee, you’ll have to walk down the quite steep staircase to access toilet downstairs and then back up again to your bed! See photos to picture what I am trying to describe here. The steamboat dinner on both nights were underwhelming (as compared with other hotel dinners) and we had to pay extra for an upgraded version on second night. The breakfast spread in the morning is good with very healthy options. Considering it is a small botique hotel with just 6 rooms, it gets full mark for trying but it just doesn’t have the scale to compete as a luxurious hotel. I feel It is better marketed as holiday units (ala AirBnB with full self catering conveniences etc) to better manage customer’s expectations.
