Great for family travel, good for solo travel. It's about a 15 minute walk to the restaurants and station so it's in a quieter spot with great view of the water. Best for longer, relaxed stays.

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)

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!!!

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.

Spacious bedroom but basic included services

Shuttle bus for the beach was not available despite the fact that it was written on Hotels.com. We were not informed proactively. They told us to use the bus or taxi instead (at our charge). We went for the bus close to the hotel, it never came… The building is old stylish and the smells/perfumes in the commun parts are not enjoyable. Almost all services are charged separately (ping pong, swimming pool …) and some have to be booked in advance (incl. swimming pool). You need a swimming cap for the swimming pool. They charge the use of the Onsen even if you dont use it. The Onsen is seperated man/woman and is naked. Many signs are only in Japanese. We were able to communicate with the staff in English. Some speak better than others. Dogs are accepted, we could hear some barking from our bedroom. The first night was quite silent but on the second night, we could hear some people scream/laugh around midnight. On the positive side, the room was spacious, the view was nice. Amenities were provided. There is a 7 eleven only few minutes away by foot. It is not far from the train station, when it’s not too warm, you can go by foot. Taxi to/from the train station is about 1000yen one way. They provide a little carrier for luggage, let us 🚿 after Check-out and called a taxi We went to Kujuppama Beach by taxi. A very nice small beach accessible from the road by a short but very steep road. We also went to Nabetahama Beach by bus (from the train station). Also a nice small beach.

This hotel did not match the pictures. It has not been maintained and has some water issue causing an odd odor in the hotel. It smelled like mildew throughout. The carpet had holes and in the area leading to the dining room walls were open to the jungle behind the hotel. Staff was nice but we were charged extra upon arriving. More than 500 dollars for my son. This was not expected. I asked to leave in that case and they said they would still charge me the whole amount. Do not book this hotel. I loved Japan so much but this was shocking.
