REF Omiya by VESSEL HOTELS
forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.62 out of 5 (1,217 reviews). Guests report that the location near the station makes the hotel easy to use with children, and some mention being able to push two beds together for spacious co-sleeping. The welcome drink and the things provided for children to play with were also well received. On the other hand, one point raised was that cleaning of the women's mist sauna was not thorough.
