Great hotel for location, ocean view and hotel staff quality. Hotel staff are really helpful and kind to treat us like only guests. This hotel offers guests an access to lounge for The Classic and The Bay Suites, which is a really luxurious lounge where you can try a variety kinds of snack and drink with watching great views from the upper deck. We'd really like to come back this hotel if we have a chance to do so. Thank you for your welcoming hospitality and great service. This stay is one of the most memorable stays for us.

Relaxing time away from the big cities.

Staff is super thorough and has a lot of recommendations. The free guest lounge for drinks/snacks is great for relaxing and it's nice to be able to utilize the lounge in the sister hotel up the hill as well. Comfortable/clean rooms.

Average hotel

Hotel room is very standard Japanese style, with small bathroom and old furnitures. Outstanding breakfast served, with choices of western style buffet or Japanese style set menu. It must be a busy time for the hotel so we were unable to make any dinner reservations inside all hotel restaurants during our stay, we ended up having no choice but to have bar snacks inside the bar lounge. (Room service menu was horrible)

The check-in staff cannot speak English and could find my booking. The hotel is not as good as it was described in terms of room condition. There is not much to see and restaurant in local area, but I think it's good if you plan to just stay in the hotel for a good rest.

My stay At Shima Kanko Hotel Classic.

Aound hotel,not exist atraction other than bay view,and need to take train for sightseeing points with some cost. However the hotel give us a nice sleep and confort. I hope this hotel can give a restaurant service little more economy.(20,000 Yen per person or 8,000 Yen per person are too much for us.) I wanted to go fishing near by but there are no service for this point.

We enjoyed our stay at Shima Kanko

We enjoyed our stay at Shima Kanko Hotel Classic Mie! Our stay was very relaxing and we appreciate the service provided by the staff. The room was very spacious! The Hotel is situated on a hill and the view is really beautiful. However, we find the food in the restaurant a bit pricey but very good. Overall, our trip to Mie and our stay to Shima Kanko Hotel Classic was very enjoyable and memorable.
