It was a hotel of extremes... The Royal hotel is good value and in a good location to access the various ski resorts in the area .. Although you need a car. We stayed 5 nights as we were exploring the areas ski resorts. The first night 130 school kids descended making the onsen a bit noisy but very friendly. The next night a bus load of older citizens arrived and all were very keen to practice their English and me my Japanese. The next two nights was a ghost town with only 20 people in the whole of the hotel. Every day was a buffet breakfast with a lot of Japanese and western choice. On the quiet day it was a set menu Japanese style... Good quality and very tasty. The last night being a Saturday night was heaving... So many people...onsen crazy hotel crazy car park crazy... We were not sure if Chinese New Year was influencing however if you don't like crowds I would avoid on a Saturday night. Being winter food choices were limited outside of the hotel apart from Saturday night so we ate 4 of our evening meals in the hotel. Izakaya restaurant was okay ... No English menu but you can find enough and the waiter was helpful... Don't get there at closing time... We had the Viking dinner one night... It was buffet and nabe individual hot pots.. So quite tasty. Overall lovely stay, rooms comfortable, onsen with outside bath was good and staff very friendly and helpful with a little English. Good souvenir shop and also good location to great walks and the five ponds.

Large hotel that needs an update. Huge rooms with lounge areas. Only twin rooms available which is interesting for a couple but usable. Fabulous onsen downstairs with amazing outdoor hot spring. Every shampoo etc you could want available. Breakfast is Japanese buffet which is ok. Dinner in main dining room is excellent albeit very expensive buffet. The smaller ala carte grill is also quite good and Mori Mori restaraunt outside is also pretty good. Free bus daily to Grandeco ski resort and other resorts if you pay (or have the bus tix included).

“We stayed for 2 nights at Urabandai royal hotel. ”

The weather was not so good at this time lots of clouds and rain. Hotel room was okay , we enjoyed onsen. The breakfast didn't have much selection and variety. We went hiking at Gokushinoma lake and ponds. It was fun and amazing.

“Nice and Clean.”

裏磐梯is fair hotel with clean and decent Room. Inconvenient in that there’s limited electric outlet and no mirror in room. Hotel internet: Very powerful wifi. Hotel dinner: Set meal but Luxuriant and exquisitely presented. Hotel breakfast: Plenty of choices. Nice noodle soup.
