Reviews of Hotel Route-Inn Nabari 3 stars

Comfy bed. Tea and coffee making availability. Very clean. Friendly staff. Pyjamas and lots of other things supplied in the room.

Just one night passing through. Would have liked food in restaurant but was closed. Luckily MacDonalds across the road and supermarket next door so not a huge problem.

Fair room rate, great communal bath, good Japanese/Western buffet breakfast. A bicycle friendly hotel that accepts bicycles in guest rooms.

Location

great stay, will use again.

Breakfast was excellent. I enjoyed the food prepared by chef(s) using local vegetables every morning.

A lot of smoking rooms, on the day of my arrival there is no other option only smoking room.

Location was fine close enough to walk to the train station, and they provided a bus to the larger station further away when we checked out. Breakfast was good, provided each morning which was convenient. Staff was very accommodating and helpful.

The beds where a little on the stiffer side as well as the pillows. The TV's where a bit out of date but worked good enough to use from my laptop.

The public bath was very clean and the facility was really nice. The beds and pillows in the room were comfortable.

It seems only Route-Inn hotels don't understand what to do with non-Japanese guests. Always, at any Route-Inn I visit, the hotel staff ask to make a copy of my ID. I ask why and they only say "it's the rule". If I were a visitor from another country, coming to Japan for a short trip, I could understand asking to make a photocopy of my ID. But I am a resident of Japan. I have lived in Japan for many years. The staff asked me for my passport. Since I live in Japan, of course I don't bring my passport when I travel around the country. But when I said I don't have my passport, the staff asked for my residence card. Why??? Asking for my residence card is acknowledgment of the fact that I am a RESIDENT. So what is the purpose of making a copy of a RESIDENT'S ID?? Japanese people are residents, too. Do all IDs of all guests get photo copied? Maybe the rule that Route-Inn employees are told to obey is this: "Make a copy of any person who checks in that does not look Japanese and does not have a Japanese name." Because it seems it does not matter if someone is a visitor to Japan or lives in Japan, if the person is not Japanese, the hotel wants to copy their ID.

Impressed with the renown Japanese hospitality standard service. Staff went out of their way to answer our queries regarding a local tourist attraction. Breakfast was generous in variety.

Location was far (20 minutes walk) from train station.
