Traditional ryokan with small onsen as part of the hotel. They are private onsen, so you can go there as a couple / family.
Definitely recommend to book the dinner even if it seems bit expensive. It is worth it!
Best experience we had in Japan.

The hot springs was great, having both outdoor and indoor hot springs that gives our different vibe and are all extremely enjoyable. Having the ability to share and use the hot spring facilities from their sister hotel next door is extremely helpful in giving you more options to bath and for a change of pace. Room is good and staff are extremely polite and caring making it a very enjoyable stay.

Surugatei has a very central location, and a very comfortable room with a separate bathroom and shower. The public onsens are close-by. It was easy to check in at a local hotel, and you use passwords to get into the room. Highly recommended!

We stayed in the hotel for one night. When we arrived, we were greeted by staff dressed in traditional Japanese dress who served as green tea and Japanese sweets. We were then escorted to our bedroom where we had a traditional Japanese room. We were then served the most unbelievable dinner in our room, which was truly amazing and the quality of the service was outstanding. Promptly after dinner, the room was cleaned and the futon was laid down and the beds were made in front of us. In the morning the beds were cleared and breakfast was served in our room which was nothing short of a banquet. We chose the western style. Food overall was exceptional. After breakfast, my wife and I made our way to the Private onsen - hot spring for one hour which was more than enough. An unbelievable experience and great value for money. I thoroughly recommend it to everybody if you’re looking for a break on a holiday to really enjoy and take in the Japanese culture.

Guest review
The hotel comes with onsen and it was great. It has an outdoor and indoor pool, though the outdoor decoration is somewhat man-made. It was a truly relaxing experience.
