Top Mt. Gassan Hotel Reviews

Shonai Hotel Suiden Terrasse

10/10 Excellent

"黄金に輝く畦道を進むと，水田の上に浮いたような建物があります。田んぼを観光資源とする考え方に脱帽。木をふんだんに使った建築、稲穂目線の高さの露天風呂、水田に突き出たテラスでいただく朝食の庄内地方料理のレベルの高さ、入り口の生花から香る天然アロマセラピー，図書館と蔵書の面白み。おもてなししようという意気込みたっぷりのホテルです。ここに満点つけなかったら満点付くホテルないよね。"

Hotel Symphony

8/10 Good

"A bit of an older hotel with not much around it. Has a lovely interior garden, a hot spring, and some very kind staff. The beds were quite stiff though and the pillows were mediocre. The hotel occasionally shows it’s age in other ways, but for the most part it was a very nice stay."
