Best hotel in Shimoda

Phenomenal, phenomenal! This was extremely comfortable, wonderful staff, lovely room with a great view of the bay. We saw the fireworks for the Black Ship Festival. The balcony onsen was extremely private and comfortable. Would highly recommend that this be your number one choice of hotel if you are in Shimoda.

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.

Historical hotel with great sea view. Everything is great. But since we are staying in upper floor where we have to interchange to another elevator to reach our floor, the interchange floor is not well ventilated where you can feel the hotness and smell (may due to the public hot spring located on the floor)

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!!!

コスパ最高の黒船

露天風呂付の特別室でしたが、とても満足出来る広々とした空間でした。部屋からの眺望もよく1日中部屋の露天風呂を利用できるので時間に縛られることなく満喫。ホテルから徒歩15分ほどですが、飲食店も散々しており立地条件もコスパも文句なし。敢えて言えば、部屋の露天風呂からの見晴らしいが良い分、外からも堂々と見える大胆な作りが女性には気になるかもしれません。

30年前にもお世話になりました。相変わらずのゲストホスピタリティに感激でした。ゲストリレーションの方々が醸し出されるさり気ない気遣いに癒されます。施設面では7階の大展望浴場は露天風呂も楽しめ、ホテル目前に停泊する観光船「黒船」を眺めながら遠くペリー来航当時に思いが馳せませす。ロケーションは近くに吉田松陰が密航を企て潜伏し機会を覗った島も潮風を受けて地場産海山の幸を腹ごなしに散歩するには良い距離感です。スマホを見ない時間をゆったりとお湯に浸かり贅沢な時間を過ごすには持ってこいの場所と言えます。今度は40年目に家人と再訪を約束しました。黒船ホテル様の益々のご発展をお祈り致しております。
