Super cute and relaxing space, modest and very home-likes and cozy. great for family getaway and gathering. Accommodating for all ages! Beautiful artwork and a relaxing onset experience while looking up at the star-filled sky was a definite highlight!

The best hotel I have ever been privileged enough to stay at. I had a wonderful experience at Gallery Court Ofa atu Hotel with my family. I feel as comfortable as at home. The staff is warm and friendly, pleasant and helpful. The dinner and breakfast was also very delicious and Not at all inferior to other hotels. The place is near to the 白浜海水浴場. Excellent property and very convenient. The best memories in this summer. I want to stay in the hotel again next time.

This place was great! The woman who runs the place is super friendly. The outdoor onsen is nice (and private). The rooms are plain but comfortable. Communal bathroom. The common area is great with a pool table and coffee. The food is good, but order ahead of time cause she only cooks a certain amount of food. If you’re a visiting foreigner or a Japanese person, you may not love it as much as me, but if you’re a foreigner that’s been living in Japan for awhile, this place is gonna be your favorite.

On the positive side the location is really convenient (10ish min by foot of the station) and the onsen is very nice with a good view. BUT, even for a touristic time of the year at Kawazu, the price was way over the top for the quality of the establishment. The entrance / main lobby is a mess with a clutter of children toys and looks like the apartment of a compulsive hoarder. Everything is dirty with a lot of dust. The room is very small, not well furnished, with small uncomfortable beds and they lack proper window blinds. I will say it again but there was a lot of dust, so if you’re allergic or sensitive to it you’ll have a very bad time. In a nutshell, this could’ve been okay if the price was decent, but for more than 15000¥ a 2p. room I’d expect more than a youth hostel level of comfort.

Here is a wonderful place!! The surroundings are super peaceful but very close to the beach. The hotel owner is friendly and very welcoming. I was so happy that I hope to stay here again in the near future. Although the individual room is a bit small, everything else is way better! Highly recommend this hotel. Many thanks
