The train isn't loud; we liked being next to it. We liked the location as well. Staff was helpful.

10/10 Exceptional

It was quiet even though it was next to the train station. Easy to find from the station but a long walk to historic centre of town.
Claire, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Friendly staff, near JR station like 10 meters and 15 minute walk to the samurai houses. Even went to Akita on a rainy day.
Geronimo, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Location was unbeatable. 30 sec from the station. Even though it was right next to the station, we didn't hear the train noise at all. Enjoyed watching trains coming and going.
Youn Seon, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Comfortable two-night stay, very convenient as it's right across from the station and has its own restaurant. I spent several pleasant hours exploring the town's old houses and shops, and then was able to get a bookable community taxi (with the help of the helpful tourist information office located next to the station) very cheaply to go out and visit Dakigaeri Gorge which was beautiful even in the rain. My room was quite a good size , I could open the window, it all seemed fairly new and well kept.

ホテルとしては特に不満もなく必要十分。夕食をいただくところが近隣になく併設のレストラン🍴になった。比内地鶏の親子丼は期待以上に美味しく満足でした。お得な地酒のサーバーでの提供があったのですが、残念ながら事前に飲み過ぎてチャレンジできなかったのが残念。

역속의 유일한 숙소

역세권의 편리한 교통과 생각보다 넓은 룸,나쁘지 않는 조식, 친절한 스탭들의 응대가 좋아요.

トレインビュー!

角館駅周辺には目立ったホテルがなく、当初は消去法で選んだのですが、実際に宿泊してみるとトレインビューで大満足。時刻表を見て秋田新幹線こまち号が入線してくるのを楽しみにするようになっていました。
KAZUHIKO, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Stayed for 1 night. Very convenient location right next to the train station. Very walkable to the Samurai district. The service was great. We arrived to the town very late after a full day of travel, and the receptionists were very helpful - they seemed to have been waiting for us as we might’ve been the very last guest to arrive for the night. Overall it was a good stay - did the job of providing a place to sleep for a day trip. The included breakfast was satisfactory - but glad we didn’t have to pay extra for it. This might be an older hotel as the room was dusty & there was some minor mold in the bathroom doorway that got missed with cleaning. I’d say it’s more expensive than what it’s worth, but hotels in the area seem to all cost a little more.
