Hotel Dengan Bar di Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan

Hotel is less than 5 minutes walk from JR station (not connected to station) with many shops or restaurants nearby. Rooms were good size and there were amenities available in the lobby (such as face wash, cream) along with free coffee in the morning. However was a bit disappointed with the maintenance of the room as there were some wood peeling off near the bedside counter.

Hotel located conveniently 1 min walk from Shizuoka station. Room is much bigger than standard Japanese hotel so it's a great point. Lobby gives us a high class feel. However, one only down point is there are no laundry at the hotel so for people who stay long it might be a point to turn it down. Other than that, the rest are perfect.

It is what you can expect from a Dormy Inn : lots of freebies, a comfortable room and a bathhouse area with the bonus point of having a good Mount Fuji view especially if you get the rooms facing the right side. The hotel's clearly geared for people who drive, there is two main carpark areas but it can get filled up quite quickly during peak holiday periods. The breakfast was sumptuous and excellent as expected from a Dormy Inn. There is a nice late night soba service and popsicles in the evening. Location wise, it is only a short drive away from the Gotemba Premium Outlets and some local sights. It is located next to Chichibunomiya Memorial Park with a former villa. The hotel is also pretty new.

We had a great stay at this ryokan! The owners were very kind and made us feel welcome. The place was clean and peaceful, and the onsen was so relaxing. The food was delicious, with fresh local dishes we loved. Everything was perfect, and we would love to come back. Highly recommend!

It’s a nice budget hotel near Shin-Fuji Station, and overall, it was a pleasant experience for me. The hotel is very close to the trains, yet surprisingly quiet. It’s small but very clean, with everything necessary provided in the room. Though the room isn’t spacious, it is cozy, and I enjoyed a nice view of Mount Fuji from my window, even if the grids on the window made it tricky to capture good photos. The breakfast is simple but adequate to start your day, and I noticed the menu changes daily (I stayed for two nights and had different options each morning). The staff, while not fluent in English, were incredibly kind and helpful. They really made my stay more comfortable. The hotel provides a few shuttle buses to the nearby train station, which was very convenient. They also offer free shuttles to Fujikawaguchiko, but only on national holidays and weekends, so I didn’t get the chance to try that. If you’re heading to the Shin-Fuji Station, there’s a tourist center with English-speaking staff who are very helpful. You can even rent bicycles there to explore the area and enjoy stunning views of Mount Fuji. For the price, it’s a great option, especially if you’re on a budget and looking for a quiet, clean place to stay with some handy amenities.

The room was nice and big, the breakfast was good, there was a shuttle bus, but! It was not cleaned on the second day, and it didn't need to be cleaned. At least the toothbrush and towels should be changed, but it was good overall

Hotel view was lit, especially when you can see Mt Fuji on a very good day. Location is very near to the Mishima station, the lobby is on the second floor of the building next to the Mishima station. You can get your Fuji express bus tickets just outside the station. Bus to the Gotemba outlet is also around the same area. Hotel cleanliness was good. However the reception was so so, as they did not provide further help when I seek for their assistance as I had left my backpack on the Shinkansen. The highest floor has an open bath for both women and male, requires a card to reach there. Hotel room provides the necessary towels in a basket for you to bring up and the toiletries are available as well. Would be a good view to see sunrise or sunset of Mt Fuji from the high level if there’s a chance. The room TV shows you the vacancy of the open bath and washing machine but it was not accurate for the open bath.

Front desk were very helpful especially with late night exit and reentry for a Taisekji. The housekeeping was excellent and I felt well cared for. All the staff are super friendly and helpful. Definitely will stay there again.

Service staff polite and helpful. Provided us with a flask willingly and was always cheerful and welcoming each day Breakfast was basic but good enough. Location was very convenient. Restaurants easily accessible

I loved the hotel, services and amenities was wonderful, food is great, rooms clean and nice with beautiful view on Mt Fuji! Onsens was also an amazing experience, just the location for local transfer is a little far away.

I can see Mt Fuji from my room but the sound insulation is very bad can hear the train running clearly even with the windows closed . Location is great as it’s near to JR station and fish market Room is tiny though, squeeze for 2 Pax

The location is good. The station is just opposite. There are buses that go directly to Shizuoka Airport. It is also convenient for shopping and eating nearby. There is a convenience store downstairs and a microwave in the lobby. They can also help with luggage storage after check-out. I really recommend it

Very close to Shizuoka Station. Just two streets away, you can take Shizuoka Station to the airport, Nagoya, Kawaguchiko, Japan, etc. There are buses everywhere. The room is much bigger than the previous Japanese rooms. The cleaning staff cleaned it very cleanly. I happened to meet the cleaning uncle when I left the hotel. I bowed 90 degrees. I will stay here again next time

To my regret, should have booked ALL my nights in Shizuoka with this place. Because of some of the negative reviews online, I was sceptical and worried thus didn’t wanna put all eggs in one basket. But the worry was totally unnecessary. Given the price, a fair comparison should be a dormitory styled hostel, and this place far exceeds any of the capsule hotels/dorm hostels I’ve been to (I’ve booked around 50 in Japan by now). First, it has its own room and bed, privacy +1. Second, it has its own large locker in the room (not as large as the largest suitcase, but more than enough to keep valuables and clothes), convenience +1. Third, COMFY bed with incredibly thick foam support and super-single kinda width, sleep quality +1. Fourth, the shower room area is ultra spacious and brightly illuminated, with close to 10 counters (and chairs), you can take your time taking care of your hygiene and facial breakouts at your own pace. Fifth, it has a partner cafe (hug coffee) two doors next to it and the breakfast and/or drink coupons it offers could save you quite some money compared to walk in yourself. The list could go on when you compare it to other hostels in the town (instead of hotels in another price range) Given, the door of the room cannot be locked, and there could be a chance of hearing noise from other rooms, but these are common issues across all hostel settings, and it’s more of the travellers issue than the place. So overall, I must say this is a place of very high value. I’ll almost always stay in this place if I’m to pass by Shizuoka again in the future.

It was a classic hotel located 5 minutes from Shizuoka Station, but it was cheap, the bed and room were good, and there were convenience stores, izakayas, and drugstores nearby, so it was good.

Just on the pedestrian street, the transportation is convenient, Qingshui Station is about 200 meters away, and the bus to Sanbao Songyuan is the second stop 100 meters away. 7-11 It was a little bit in the past. The service attitude is good. The Tanabata Festival is too popular. There is no restaurant nearby. I bought sushi salad cold noodles and brought them back. The teammates went to the front desk to warm cold noodles and gave them to the tray. The room is not small, two big ➕ one big child, as soon as the door is opened, I see that the third bed has been added in the room, which is meticulous.

The room is quite big and it's nice to live in, but there are no sockets anywhere. I can only charge on the table. There are only two sockets, one for boiling water and one for charging. It may also be that I didn't find the right place. Overall, it was a successful choice

The Fuji view is extraordinarily stunning, especially during the sunrise time. The hotel itself is already a must-go item in Shizuoka. The services and food provided by hotel are impeccable. Everything is perfect basically except there is no onsen facility within the area of hotel.

I suppose the charm of Atami is that the whole area is a little bit 'dated' as far as a resort goes, and this hotel definitely aligns with that - it seems like a place that was once great and is now kind of just rolling along bringing in what money it can. The food is serviceable but totally uninspired - an upscale cafeteria masquerading as something better than it is with 'chefs' wearing their whites. The entire dining room constantly smells of fryer oil from the tempura - which they still make and keep stock of in such large quantities that it is never fresh and crispy anyways (especially the shrimp, which has not been sufficiently dried before battering). The remaining hot dishes are very disappointing both in terms of variety and overall flavor. The sushi and sashimi is the standout of the food, although it too is very basic - not anything that will blow your mind, but acceptably tasty and reasonably fresh (although on our second night everything tasted a bit soapy/bleachy). As a westerner you will be very disappointed by the breakfast, although that's a 'me' problem rather than a hotel problem per se. The spa facilities are nice but a bit dated - be careful in your selection of both time and location unless you want to be surrounded with many loud (mostly Chinese) children. Private spas are available and are quite nice, although again dated. Nonetheless at around 60 USD for an hour the price is good for the privacy, especially as a westerner who is otherwise subject to quite a bit of staring at this mostly local and Chinese spa. We stayed in a deluxe king room, which was spacious with an enormous and comfortable bed, and a (For japan) reasonably sized tub. Room and desk service was good. The hotel is a bit off the beaten path but has regular free shuttles to/from Atami station, which is where the main tourist streets for shopping etc can be found. Highly suggest checking out Golden Eye for some excellent Ramen.

I stayed here on a solo trip. Even though I was staying alone, I was given a very spacious and nice room. It was well-cleaned and very clean, which was great. The hot springs were also great and very refreshing. Many of the facilities, such as the elevators, were old, which actually added to the charm. I'm really glad I stayed at this inn.

The hotel was great, wonderful service, good food, nice staff overall, however, Fuua spa was a bit disappoint with no extra towels to use. I would suggest to bring a bottle of drinking water or you would have to purchase. We stayed in the mountain side because it was cheaper but the ocean view would be great. You can see ropeway going up and down on the mountain side. Bus runs for free between the station and the hotel every 20 minutes or so. No reservation needed. It’s right in front of McDonalds at the station. Bus is not large. I would suggest to get there a bit early if you want to sit with your company together. You have a half off ropeway discount in the card you get at the check in counter so don’t throw it away after check out the hotel :)

The room is very clean and the facilities are very good. The hotel provides free soft drinks and alcoholic beverages, which is also very OK. There is a large bath on the lower floor, and the bubble bath can heal the fatigue of a day's journey👌

Kids love the private hot spring so much not cheap but the vibe is so chill

The bathroom is surprisingly clean. The location is good and not far from JR, but there is a slope. There is only one bathroom. The boys' bathing time is too short. They will not have enough time to take a bath after returning from the fireworks festival. Basic toiletries, disinfectants, etc. are all provided. Anyway, there are many charged items, so it’s best to bring your own. Breakfast is a bowl of Ochazuke rice with an egg. The self-service option includes dishwashing. If you don’t have any requirements for breakfast, you can consider it.

Great stay with excellent service and really near to Atami Station and the famous pudding shop. Millions of thanks to staff who couriered the charging wires, adaptor and necklace we accidentally left in there 😄😄😄

A typical old-style Japanese hot spring hotel, with free shuttle bus to and from Atami Station. The room facilities are a bit old and are tatami rooms. The reservation includes buffet breakfast and dinner, and the food variety for both meals is relatively rich, but the taste is average. The self-service drinks are well received, providing a variety of beer, sake, even champagne and various soft drinks. The hotel has two indoor large baths and an open-air bath. The indoor Roman bath is very beautiful and distinctive, and the open-air bath has a view of the port. In general, it is an average-level hot spring hotel, but the price in peak season is not cheap.

It is what you can expect from a Dormy Inn : lots of freebies, a comfortable room and a bathhouse area with the bonus point of having a good Mount Fuji view especially if you get the rooms facing the right side. The hotel's clearly geared for people who drive, there is two main carpark areas but it can get filled up quite quickly during peak holiday periods. The breakfast was sumptuous and excellent as expected from a Dormy Inn. There is a nice late night soba service and popsicles in the evening. Location wise, it is only a short drive away from the Gotemba Premium Outlets and some local sights. It is located next to Chichibunomiya Memorial Park with a former villa. The hotel is also pretty new.

**A perfect stay experience beyond expectations! This hotel completely refreshed my expectations for travel accommodation! ** From the moment I stepped into the lobby, I felt the warmth of home - the front desk lady smiled kindly, checked in in three minutes, and upgraded the high-rise view room! The room design is simple and stylish, with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the city skyline. When night falls, soaking in the bathtub and watching the bright lights is simply a movie-level enjoyment! The bedding is as soft as clouds, and I feel refreshed after a deep night's sleep.

Dear Mars Gardenwood Gotemba Team, I trust this message finds you well. I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding service we received during our stay at your hotel from the 6th to the 7th of February. Due to unexpected snowstorm warnings, our travel plans were disrupted as all express and hill roads were blocked. In this challenging situation, the warmth of your welcome and the assistance we received in inquiring about Toyota Rent a Car were truly remarkable. I must extend special gratitude to a staff member (whose name unfortunately escapes me) for their unwavering patience and detailed explanations, providing us with the assistance we needed during these trying circumstances. This experience has left a lasting impression on us, and we wanted to convey our deepest thanks for the exceptional service received, particularly from the staff member whose name, regrettably, slipped my mind. Thank you once again for turning a challenging situation into a positive and memorable experience. We look forward to the opportunity to stay at Mars Gardenwood Gotemba in the future.

We stayed at the hotel for 5 days and had a wonderful family holiday. It takes around 5-8 minutes to get to the hotel by taxi from Gotemba station. The hotel also offers reliable shuttle bus service. It’s nicely located and designed for guests to enjoy the spectacular view of Mt Fuji wherever you go in the hotel, whether you’re having breakfast, bathing in the onsen, drinking coffee in the lounge or staying in your room. Staff were also very helpful and enthusiastic.

Hotel was just next to the outlet mall. Convenient and provide free coffee and drink at the reception. The onsen was also great. The view of Mt Fuji was amazing.

The waiters are very enthusiastic and attentive! The hotel has an open environment and feels like nature! I like the surrounding scenery very much! But I still have a small comment: the check-in notification process is a bit cumbersome, and the notification is still oral. The air conditioner in the room is not good at heating, there is no heater, and the room is not warm enough. You need to cover yourself with clothes when sleeping at night. The plastic slippers were a bit dirty, there was no washing machine in the room, and the signs indicating the way to the room at night were not reflective or lighted up, so it took me a long time to find them. Only one towel is given for washing. Didn't you know that you need two towels for the night and the next day? The room lights cannot be adjusted and the brightness is not enough.

Location: Near to Shinagawa Station which link to most of the place you will visit as a tourist. Cleanliness: the room is clean, not feeling any uncomfortable. Service: We reached the hotel around 8pm after visit Gotemba Premium Outlet, the reception staff is not english speaker but we still able to communicate via google translate & some body language. Facilities: we do not have time to try their facilities, but in room facilities is well maintained. check out process is simple and is friendly. View: I forgot which floor we stayed, but the view is awesome, before we checked out we can see the Mt. Fuji which is superb.

Extended 1 more night. Everything was great about this place. Although the hotel was old, it was clean and well maintained. They provided free rice and curry and drinks in the evenings. It was also located beside Gotemba station that had access to free shuttle buses to the premium outlet and Tuminosumika Hot Spring. There are also buses (paid) lake kawaguchi and Tokyo. You can buy bus ticket at the Gotemba Tourism office beside the train station.

We had a really great experience at this hotel. There is a shuttle bus near the hotel that takes you to and from the JR Gotemba station and the Gotemba Premium Outlets. The room is really big for a Japanese hotel, and you even have a jacuzzi/hot spring bath in your own room! As for breakfast, it is buffet style with a good selection. The food is also delicious! The best part of all is still the service they provide. At the Fuji Outlet Hot Spring Hotel, they really go out of the way to serve their guests. We had 2 suitcases stored in the hotel when we checked out and went shopping at the outlets. We went back to the hotel to pick up our suitcases at around 19:20 and intended to take a taxi to the JR Gotemba station to catch a train back to Tokyo station. The front desk staff helped us call a taxi but no taxi would take the order because there was a bad traffic jam. It was on 3rd January 2025, a public holiday, and there were many cars heading for the outlets. Upon knowing our dilemma, I think it was the hotel owner, instructed a staff who just got off duty to drive us to the station. He even checked the train schedule for us! They refused to accept when we offered payment for the ride. Overall, the service was superb and I will definitely recommend this hotel to everyone. They have front office staff who speaks either fluent English or Chinese. We wish to thank the owner and his staff for such great service and will definitely stay in this hotel again if we were back in Gotemba.
