Enjoyed the view but we were rushed through, actually in the hot tub for 45 mins, we didn't realize there weren't showers in the changing rooms and so got dressed afterwards without a shower, we wanted a relaxing experience but it wasn't really like that at all, we came away feeling disappointed especially as it's quite expensive for 45 minutes. It wasn't explained to us that when they tell you over the intercom that you have 10 minutes left that's when you need to use the shower in the room and then get dressed in the changing room. I wouldn't go again or recommend it.

Hi V4536GAkaren,

Thank you for taking the time to review us,

Sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your recent visit,

To ensure all our guests have the same experience we time each pool individually, your time starts from when you are taking down to your pool room. If you arrive early and your pool is ready, you will be shown to your room and your hour will start, sorry if this was not communicated clearly to you during your visit.

Our 10 minute announcement is to make you aware that your time to coming to an end, you can then decide if you would like to shower in the pool room itself before you time is up or use the shower and changing facilities in the corridor once your session is over.

As explained by our guest service representative on your way to the pool room, we have two sets of changing rooms, one is for communal changing and the other with showers and changing facilities that guests can use before and after their session. Again we can only apologise if this was not clearly communicated, we will make sure we raise it at our next staff meeting.

We are glad to hear your enjoyed your soak and our amazing views,

Thank you for visiting,

Sincerely,

The Onsen Team

The views were my favourite part. The whole experience was great, all you needed wasyour swimming costume. It was nice to have the shuttle from town.

My husband and I loved our Onsen Original experience!! The pools were so relaxing and the view was stunning. We can't wait to return in winter when the mountains are covered in snow. Thanks so much for such an amazing experience!!

Was our second time at the hour pools and they soon disappoint, staff very friendly and they make you feel very welcome. All the rules are very well explain and it's just a great experience especially if you going to have a romantic weekend. Absolutely recommended!
