Our room, a combination of Western and Japanese styles, had a persistent odor that charcoal and air freshener only temporarily masked. The Western beds, consisting of a box spring and mattress topper, were uncomfortable and caused back pain. While the view was excellent, the food in the main dining room was mediocre; the steamed snapper, in particular, was overpoweringly sweet and salty due to an unbalanced soy sauce and sugar mixture.

Disappointing Customer Service

Upon arrival, we asked the front desk staff to reserve a second night for us. We showed her the Hotels.com rate for this booking at $116. We asked her if she could match this offer... otherwise we would have used the Hotels.com website to book it (and would have changed rooms if need be in order to take advantage of the Hotels.com rate). She quoted us at $120 for the second night, based on this info. We took her at her word. Upon checkout, we were billed $166 for the second night (instead of the $120 quoted to us the day before). Also, we asked for a taxi to take us to the metro station upon checkout. Just before the taxi arrived, the Hotel shuttle bus pulled up to take departing guests to the metro station-- for free. The staff who called the taxi could have easily (and therefore should have) mentioned their shuttle was arriving at that same time. This happened immediately after we were charged extra for the second night's stay. Notably, this was not a language barrier issue. We emailed the hotel's corporate offices to address these concerns- they still have not yet replied. Also notably, the gift shop staff were very sweet.

The hotel is well located and it has it's own beach entrance. A bit outdated as it looks you travelled to the 70's or 80's. It was costly mainly for the "Golden Week" season. The convenience store is not as close as the receptionst say. The hotel might think about opening the pool for these kind of holydays and also an upgrade on their installations. The view of the onsen is great. Rooms was spacious and comfortable aside from small intruders.

My stay in Prince Shimoda

The ocean view from our room is great as it is next to the beach. The hotel has a simple onsen with a great day view. However, the hotel is far from any restaurants and a car is a necessity.

Good hotel in Shimoda

I enjoyed my stay at the Shimoda Prince Hotel. If I ever go back to Shimoda I would consider staying there again. Pros: The room was big and comfortable, and based on the layout I think all rooms have a ocean view. My room had all the desired amenities, including a mini-fridge, towels, and even a rack for hanging clothes. I enjoyed the men's onsen. The breakfast buffet is good, although expensive. Fortunately there are some small restaurants nearby that offer affordable, tasty meals. Cons: As other reviews have pointed out, the maintenance leaves something to be desired, and the hotel can be rough around the edges. Also, the food is a bit expensive.
