Vessel is a budget type accommodation... You get just enough of what you need and if you want anything more or anything specific, you help yourself to their amenities on the 2nd floor reception. Location wise was perfect for us and the rooms are all insulated so you don't really hear the noise outside. They don't provide carpark but have a tie up where you pay a fixed rate to a very close by carpark operator (about 250m away only). We were 4 persons (2 adults and 2 teenagers) and even though the room came with two beds each sized between a single bed and a queen sized bed and a third roll out mattress, you still need to pay more for the bed linen, comforter and a pillow.
The staff is friendly and provide good service.
The bath house is normal, but can tell its age.
I feel the room is very dusty, it’s making my hand itchy and nose sneezy all the time. The bathroom is also old with water marks and mould.
I am a fan of Dormy Inn and have stayed in Dormy Inn branches at Aomori, Hachinohe, Tokyo, and Osaka before, but this Kumamoto branch has the most room for improvement.
The hotel is in walkable distance to the castle, so it is great.
The whole hotel is tatami . As soon as you enter the hotel, you must take off your shoes and have staff to clean your luggage. The environment is comfortable.  Free supper is provided in the evening. After the hot spring, there are snow bars and Yiliduo. There are comics in the lounge area. The room is clean and comfortable.
While travelling from Kumamoto to Fukuoka, we stopped off at Kurokawa Onsen for a night. It was a relatively small inn and there seemed to be many other guests staying there, but perhaps the dining times were staggered so we didn't run into any other guests and were able to spend the whole day quietly and relaxing. The quality and quantity of the food was good, and we were given detailed explanations about the baths and received warm hospitality. I've seen some negative comments about the staff being foreign, but they remembered the difficult menu items in Japanese and explained them to us, they greeted us politely, and it was nice to see them making such an effort. There was a hearth so if I have the chance, I'd like to go during the snowy season.
The room was very spacious and the bathroom and toilet were clean. We could use the large public bath and guests were given free sorbet. They also provided individual transportation to the airport, which was very helpful.
We had a great stay at Kamenoi Hotel Aso Park. We booked a room in the South Building, which was spacious,clean, and had a large, comfortable bed. The hotel provides yukata robes in various colors, which was a lovely touch for guests to enjoy the onsen experience.
♨️ The onsen was large and relaxing — perfect after a day of exploring Aso.
🚗 Parking was very convenient, located right next to the hotel. Just across the parking area, there’s a 24-hour convenience store called Obentou Hirai offering ready-made bentos, hot meals, ramen, and udon — extremely convenient for late-night snacks or quick meals.
🍱 We chose a room-only package without meals, and in the morning, we visited the local souvenir and food center at Aso Station. It had a great selection of local foods and breakfast options, plus plenty of gifts and souvenirs to bring home.
Overall, a comfortable stay with everything we needed nearby. Highly recommended if you’re exploring the Aso area!
The bath was very nice. Although it was a short distance away, they also provided a shuttle service so I didn't have to worry about getting cold. The breakfast was delicious and varied, so I was very satisfied.
The hotel is very superior, very good value for money, the hotel itself has a hot spring, while also gave us free tickets to the next hot spring park, hot spring park fun to eat, play, can allow more time to play, should be the highest quality hot spring park in Kumamoto City.

GGuest UserUnfortunately it was a cloudy day, but the view from our room was amazing.
We apologize for the inconvenience as our child has allergies, but they prepared a separate menu and everything was delicious!
The staff were all kind and had a calm impression, making us feel very relaxed.
The bath was clean, there were many types of shampoo that you would see in a drugstore, and there were many types of hair dryers, including ReFa and Yanmar, so it was nice to be able to try out a variety of them!
YYamahikoThe staff is friendly and provide good service.

VVincci ChungIt's located very near to the train station that is very convenient for travelling and with many restaurants around. Room is rather small but clean with all the necessities required. The public bath and free breakfast are extra bonus for the booking. We enjoyed our stay very much.
GGuest UserI finally realized my long-held dream of staying here, having booked the room over half a year in advance. Its location is indeed quite remote, nestled deep in the mountains. Upon arrival, a car picked us up directly from the hot spring bus stop, and the elderly driver was incredibly warm and friendly! The heavy rain on the day of our visit truly enhanced the ambiance. The room itself was incredibly spacious. Surprisingly, even in June and with the rain, it got so cold at night that we needed to turn on the air conditioning. The cuisine was also quite sophisticated. Dinner was exquisite, though the portions were a bit on the small side, leaving me not quite full... The private six-foot outdoor bath was absolutely unforgettable – a definite must-book! If I had to nitpick, for a price tag exceeding 3000 (currency unspecified), I expected the service to be a touch more enthusiastic and friendly. I couldn't shake the feeling of being treated slightly differently (compared to what I observed for local Japanese guests and Westerners). Having stayed at no fewer than 10-20 hot spring ryokans in this price range, I'd say claims of 'superb service' are a bit of an overstatement. Overall, I'd give it an 80/100, and despite the minor points, I still highly recommend it!
GGuest UserIt's a normal business hotel, but that's what makes it good. The price is also cheap and it's easy to stay. I use it often. If you become a member, you can extend your check-out time until 11:00 for free. The hot spring is small, but it feels good. I will use it again. Thank you.
