Hotel Hot spring Shimoda

I enjoyed my stay at Shimoda Tokyu for getting some dives in with Mikomoto Hammers. The staff are very professional, respectful, and helpful. From 9:20 to 17:45, there is a free shuttle bus to and from Shimoda station. If you are staying for diving in the area, some things you should know: there are no 24 hours Family Mart or 7-11 within walking distance. Walking to the station area will take you 30 mins. Taxi app GO says there is no available car in the area. You will need the hotel staff to phone a local taxi for you out of free shuttle bus hours. The restaurant at the hotel is upscale and expensive and it's your only option if you don't want to taxi into town. Mikomoto Hammers can pick you up at Shimoda Tokyu the morning of the dive. Just let them know. Breakfast buffet is fantastic. The staff made this hotel stay enjoyable. The room is quite small. I felt like I was still in Tokyo with very little space for my carry-on size luggage. If I brought a bigger check-in bag, I would not have enough space to lay if open and also walk freely. Maybe the room I got was small.

Fairly old building but well maintained. Huge space inside hotel and spacious room. Big onsen indoor pool with outdoor onsen available. Room furniture and condition are old but its good for 1-2 nights. Location is good. Near restaurants and shopping areas. Opposite fish market. Great amount of carpark lots available. Microwave and huge laundromat available. Not to mention 3x karaoke rooms with english/thai/tagalog/vietname/indonesian songs and billard table also for rent!

The location is right in front of the beach and it is the perfect place to stay if u are going to the Shirahama beach. Cleanliness is perfect too but I gave it 4/5 because the rooms are not soundproof. We can hear the footstep from the corridor and above room. The service is perfect too. There is a shuttle bus for the hotel and they let us in from 2:30pm although the actual check in time is 3pm. The staff will wait for u at the front door to give you towel when you come back from the beach. As for the amenities, they have massage services (need additional cost), pool, onsen and etc. But we didn’t use most of the, so don’t know about their quality. So I gave it 4/5.

The service is very good. The front desk can speak simple English, and a translator is needed for more. The quilt in the room is very soft and comfortable, the fragrance in the room is also very good, and the hot spring soup is very comfortable. Although it is said to be public, it is actually used separately (there are two rooms with lockable doors). There are also vending machines selling drinks after soaking in the hot spring. It is about ten minutes' walk from the station. It is a bit difficult to walk with a large suitcase because the sidewalk is narrow. Overall, it is a good experience.

The service was very good and the place is amazing. Nevertheless they didn’t allow us to have dinner or breakfast in the hotel as they said it was fully booked, and when requested for late check in we were asked to pay more. It would have been expected to be able to at least check in a bit later since we couldn’t enjoy the dinner or breakfast in the hotel and was inconvenient.

Advantages: The price is cheaper than other old hotels on this coastline, the sunrise is beautiful, the sea is beautiful, the scenery is beautiful, the beach is white, and the sand is very fine. There is a shrine next to it, and there is a seaside torii. Disadvantages: The place is remote and will waste time on public transportation, and public transportation here is also inconvenient. The hotel is very old and the rooms are very old. Choose the tatami room carefully because there are many insects. It is basically equivalent to no service, and you have to do everything yourself. Starting with a piece of paper, all the facilities of the hotel must be studied and explored by yourself. I met a Japanese guest with a serious skin disease (suspected to be plum) in the big bath. I was scared and dared not wash. I went back to the room and rubbed it twice. The staff saw it but did not stop the person from entering the bathhouse. Arranging a room next to the elevator on the lower floor can only be said to be the basic operation of daily life.

The hotel is on the beach of Duoduohu. After taking the car to Shita Station, I will change to a bus and then walk for a while. The hotel is on the hillside, so I climbed a small slope and dragged the box a bit tired. In fact, the hotel has a pick-up station, which is to start from the beginning, so the next time you have a stay needs, you can refer to the picture below. The pick-up car was parked on the edge of the Shita bus station. The room facilities are old, but the hotel service is still quite good. The front desk staff explained very clearly on the day of check-in. The lobby and room views are very good and the sea view is invincible. The hotel has an entrance to the beach, suitable for tourists who come to surf, and there are people surfing in the sea at 5 am. The hotel packages morning and evening meals, very exquisite and the service is in place. The hotel room is very large, compared to the hotel in Yokohama, it is too spacious, suitable for children to take a holiday.

Facilities: Properly good, it is said that it has been open for decades, can imagine how high-end, there are many Japanese people coming Hygienic: The room hygiene is generally OK, the floor is sometimes a bit damp and sticky Environment: The scenery outside the window can directly see the entire Waipur Bay, very beautiful, see the most beautiful sunset and sunrise on this trip Service: After arriving at the store, there is a problem displayed by the Trip.com booking platform. The price of 2 people and 3 people is the same. As a result, if you bring a child, you will have to add more than 800 yuan.

The service of the hotel is nothing to say, very good! The breakfast that comes with it is very rich, the front desk staff can also speak English, and they will provide station pick-up and drop-off services. The overall facilities are old, but very clean, and the scenery outside the room window is very beautiful!

This hotel rating 4.2 is really deserved! First of all, there is no seaside, just in the vicinity, there is no scenery through the window, all are houses. The equipment in the house is also very poor, old and not retro. . . . Secondly, breakfast only bread boiled white egg milk juice. There is no hot food, no tray service, it is full buffet. Eating on the first floor, there is no scenery outside. Finally, Tangchi is also a pool on the top floor, which is much worse than other soup pools in Japan. Because the price of the May Day has risen sharply, more than 800 in the evening, this price/performance ratio, think about it.
