Hotel Hot Springs Shimonoseki

The breakfast was delicious. The large communal bath was clean and I was able to relax in it. However, even though I made a reservation with breakfast included on this website, the check-in machine at the reception desk asked me to select the number of people for breakfast, and when I asked the receptionist, I was told that it was for a room only. The reservation document said ”2 people for breakfast,” so I asked them to confirm again, and I'm glad I printed it out and took it with me.

Unbeatable location with many rooms ( or all rooms) and public spaces facing Tsunoshima Bridge. Our room faced the ocean directly with no obstruction. The bath was also quite decent and the outdoor bath is next to the sea. You can enjoy the sound of the waves while bathing in the hot spa. It should be quite spectacular during sunset. The spa was probably renovated within the last 10 years as it was in good condition. The room , however, felt old and the corridor was damp. The carpet in the room felt damp and the room felt stuffy. The AC worked well and we turned it on high. Our triple room as spacious but I felt itchy the whole night while sleeping- although the sheets looked clean ( I slept on the added bed). The other two beds looked slumped in the middle. Bathroom also looked quite old( from the 70’s)? My room was at the far end wing and there were lots of stairs to walk up and down from the front desk which was on the third floor. The staff will help to bring the luggages to your room ( also at check out - just call). Hotel restaurant serves dinner buffet . If you are not interested, the hotel also has a list of restaurants nearby with 10-30 minutes drive. We drove out to have yakitori in a small down, which was very local, but with friendly owner, good food- and super cheap price ( each yakitori was about ¥120-150 yen. Breakfast buffet has both Japanese and western offers, taste was average. Overall service was very good.

Value for money. Highly recommended. Will stay again. The room is large for us to open and pack our luggage in preparing to depart airport the next day. The room facilities are convenient (without stairs) to suit my usage as a person with walking difficulties. I especially love the ensuite onsen bath with beautiful ocean view. The dinner and breakfast are delicious.

Check in when the middle-aged man can not speak Chinese or English. After checking out, our family of three left their luggage and went out to play. When we came back to pick up the luggage, because there was a job to deal with. After obtaining the permission of the young female staff at the front desk, our family of three drank a few drinks in the hotel. I worked in the hotel restaurant in the reception area for less than 20 minutes. The middle-aged male front desk of the hotel came with a translator and said that it was not allowed to stay at the hotel after check-out and had to leave. I took the child and didn't say much. The Japanese next to me can sit in the restaurant, so can't we? The experience is very poor and not recommended. Next to it is domny inn. If you fancy the location, you can choose dommy inn.

The bath was also available to the Grand Hotel. There was a hot water and an open-air bath, so I could take it slowly. I think the meal was very delicious and the service was good
