What guests think

Across recent reviews, Choyo Tei stands out for welcoming staff, enjoyable onsen baths, and generally well-liked buffet meals, while many guests also note the hotel's age, with dated decor and some areas feeling worn compared with newer properties.

Room experiences vary from very spacious to small, with thin doors and corridor noise reported, plus occasional drafts through windows in winter. The setting near Hell Valley offers quiet surroundings and views, though access can be tricky without a car and the area feels closed in winter; shuttles help for seasonal events. Cleanliness is mixed, with some praising tidy rooms while others mentioned stains, musty odors, and housekeeping oversights. Good for travelers comfortable with an older property seeking a relaxing stay.

Amazing location, scenery and views! The area around the hotel is beautiful, and so many things to see within easy walking and driving distance. The on-site Onsens were also great! Parts of the property are getting old and worn, but otherwise clean and well kept. The included buffet breakfasts and dinners were an unexpected bonus!

Dated hotel, as are all the hotels in the area, but very well maintained. Staff were all superb and the food service was very efficient and tasty. Not Michelin starred, but neither is the cost.

建物が古いためか部屋の窓からの隙間風があり多少ではあるが雪が入って来てました。お風呂も建物内に温泉3ヶ所と近くの系列ホテルの温泉も入れます。食事も品数が多く美味しかったですが、朝食の時間が7:00〜8:00の間だけと少し速すぎな気がしました。
