Refreshing Large Bath

During my stay at Smile Hotel Kawaguchi, I absolutely loved the large bath on the first floor. It was a great place to unwind after a busy day, allowing me to soak and melt my aches away. The experience was incredibly relaxing and a real bonus for my trip.

Delicious Buffet Breakfast

I enjoyed the breakfast at Smile Hotel, which offered a lovely mix of Japanese and international options. The variety was impressive, and I particularly liked that I could order eggs the way I wanted. A perfect start to my day!

Convenient Private Bath

The private bath in my room was a nice touch. It was clean and perfect for a quick refresh when I didn't want to visit the public bath. Having that convenience right in my room made my stay much more comfortable.

The hotel is clean and offers a good buffet breakfast, making it an economical option. However, the rooms are extremely small, which might be a challenge for two people. While it’s close to the station and Ario mall, the cramped bathroom and tight quarters are significant downsides.

This hotel is a clean and budget-friendly option, conveniently located near the train station and a mall. While it offers a decent breakfast buffet, the rooms are extremely small, making it a tight fit for two people. The compact bathroom can be quite a hassle too, especially with the steep step to access it. Overall, it's great for solo travelers but might not suit those needing more space.

This hotel is a budget-friendly choice, conveniently located near the train station and Ario mall.
