A very quiet place, perhaps the season, walkable distance to train station. The ride along the coast was enjoyable. I had the best Japanese breakfast there overlooking the sea! Well arranged, excellent taste. A great sushi place across at the wharf at the end of the building and also great seafood to be had in town.

The staff were so friendly. Our room had a private onsen on the balcony and it was wonderful. We loved the Japanese style room. The hotel is quite old, the hallways smell terrible but luckily the rooms are good. They charge extra for pool(550yen) and all other amenities which was a bit of a surprise.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Musty, dusty, rusty, and crusty…we stayed in the Japanese style room with the onsen. The room itself was great (minus a musty smell that permeated from the hallway) and the onsen was amazing. The lobby was dingy and needed an update about a decade ago. The hallways smelled like they cleaned the carpets and they never dried completely. The hotel was also like the Winchester house, like wings just kept being added on and some of them you could get to from one side of the floor floor and some of them you had to go down the floor and across to get around. It did have a kids play area downstairs, laundry, machines, and an arcade upstairs. It does say that shimoda beach is a two minute drive away however it is more like a 20 minute drive away. The area in front of the hotel is beautiful and great to walk but it did not make up for the grungy hotel.

Fantastic hotel with great amenities

Fantastic hotel with great amenities. We had a sea view room and I think almost all rooms have that. We enjoyed the Onsen that had everything one needs including small sauna. The complementary soft drinks in the cosy lobby was a nice gesture and appreciated. Staff were very helpful and accommodating our requests and questions. Our 11year old daughter found plenty entertainment, we all loved the skin care fish for example. Keen to go back. Also Shimoda is beautiful, lots to do, i.e. beautiful walks, rope way.

Most amazing staff !!

We love to soak in hot springs - but the water has to be hot, hot, hot!! The onsen at this hotel was not hot enough for me. Although the location is very convenient - walking distance everywhere - I will not stay here again because of the onsen. The staff was AMAZING!!!! So kind and helpful - never ever will experience this type of service in the USA!!!

It was OK, will try different hotel next time

Nothing special because our room was self-service rate. Hot spring bath was Ok, not great. The employees were all nice. One bad service was that they charged us $3+ for each small bucket of ice even the hotel doesn’t have a ice machine.

Tired Hotel in Quiet Location

Tired hotel that doesn’t cater well for international travellers. Rooms were not serviced during the stay and furnishings were very worn. Shimoda itself was very disappointing. We visited in early July and were looking forward to walking through Perry Road’s cafe’s and Jazz bars. However, it was like visiting a ghost town, with nothing open. Really disappointing. It’s a long way off the beaten track to visit here, but I would not recommend it unless you just want to come and surf at one of the beach locations several miles from Shimoda itself.
