Petit Resort Hotel Der Barte
プチリゾートホテル デァヴェルテ
Does Petit Resort Hotel Der Barte allow tattoos? In a private bath
The only bath is a view bath that guests book privately, 40 minutes at a time, free. It is heated plain water, not a hot spring.
The hotel has one bath, a view bath, and it is used by one party at a time: free for guests, 40 minutes a turn, around the clock. The hotel says plainly that it is not a hot spring. Its pages say nothing about tattoos.
