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!!!

Nice hotel in the center of historical part of Shimoda. Onsen was great! Reasonable prices and good hotel staff will make your journey unforgettable. Also plum blossom festival in February is worth visiting!

Even though the building is old, it was still well maintained and was a pleasure to stay in. The room was clean and well presented. The private onsen bath was amazing and over looked the port and ships. The breakfast was great.

It was OK, will try different hotel next time
Nothing special because our room was self-service rate. Hot spring bath was Ok, not great. The employees were all nice. One bad service was that they charged us $3+ for each small bucket of ice even the hotel doesn’t have a ice machine.

Tired Hotel in Quiet Location
Tired hotel that doesn’t cater well for international travellers. Rooms were not serviced during the stay and furnishings were very worn. Shimoda itself was very disappointing. We visited in early July and were looking forward to walking through Perry Road’s cafe’s and Jazz bars. However, it was like visiting a ghost town, with nothing open. Really disappointing. It’s a long way off the beaten track to visit here, but I would not recommend it unless you just want to come and surf at one of the beach locations several miles from Shimoda itself.

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)
