Onsen has great water, but would benefit from some upgrade. Still, it was nice in Onsen and we visited twice in two days

Patina of long-gone era. Hotel is quit run-down, but with some curious charm.

Improved the onsen area both the hotel onsen and the individual room onsen - the areas needed some plants or something.

The hotel has a fantastic lounge area and kitchen facility - it is across from the beach and we were able to get around the area easiliy - the parking was also helpful

Nothing.

The hotel is located right opposite the beach, great place to be while having your foot Onsen. The Onsen in the hotel is a great relief after a long drive. A bit disappointed that they did not open up the outdoor Onsen, but the indoor Onsen was great. There weren't many people in the Onsen the day I was there, so it was quiet and nice. The room was comfortable and the bed was comfortable.

The limited number of onsen it has only two for short hours. It must be great if we can access onsen on daytime like from 11am to 6pm I guess.

It's in front of Shirarahama Beach. And It has it's own room foot bath that you can access anytime.

toilet was too small and had an unpleasant odor. had to turn off air conditioner at night because it was too noisy.

in room onsen was great. location was excellent. had plenty of restaurants and a supermarket nearby.

The second floor onwards and the public onsen area looks a little dated and would definitely help if the management does a renovation to renew the interior in these areas. Would love to see this hotel continue on

Interesting experience staying at a Taisho-era hotel. We booked the room with the private onsen and didn't regret it as our room is spacious and well-maintained. The outdoor bath is a nice touch and the location is conveniently located next to Shirarahama beach. And there are plenty of restaurants nearby too.

Carpet along the corridors are badly stained. Mosquito netting came off at balcony.

Easy access to food street next to the hotel. Large onsen. Yukata is provided. Huge room. Nice bed linen.

The toilet was a little cramped (to the point where it was hard to keep the toilet lid up) but really this was a minor issue since the rest of the room was huge!

This place was fantastic! It's right next to the beach and an easy walk to many attractions. The hotel is old but that's part of its charm. I loved having my own footbath on the deck overlooking the ocean. The room is very spacious and the bed was comfortable.

I didn't have enough time to take advantage of the rec room and lounge area. Hoping to do so on my next visit.

Room was comfortable and well appointed with foot bath on the balcony. The Onsen was excellent.

The hotel is dated, but that’s part of it charm. We came from Tokyo and Kyoto, but we finally felt like we were in Japan when we got here.

city tax extra Y300 for the 2 of us No breakfast options. Building a little bit run down

Onsen was lovely. Bed comfortable, room nice traditional mattress on tatami mats. Foot bath on the beach

Stayed in May 2024

It’s a bit run down and in need of some renovation.

Since we had our own onzen attached to our room in a little garden it was extremely pleasant. Moreover, it’s very near the street with lots of restaurants and the fantastic beach is just across the road. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

The hotel is not new but it was OK. We had some neighbors upstairs (it seems like a family with small kids) that were running around 10pm-11pm and that was very noisy, Maybe, because of the hotel is traditional and you usually hear noises with tatami floor structures.

We went during a weekend to celebrate my oldest daughter's birthday and we were surprised with a small gift for her inside the room, it was very thoughtful . Also we stayed in the 1st floor which had a private onsen that really made the difference in our trip. Location was great, the beach was crossing the street!

Hotel needs renovation, desperately. We have been eaten by mosquitoes all night, even when windows were closed. Rest is wear and tear

Location and style of hotel. Nice big onsen. Charcoal water, many soaps to choose.

Toilet light/fan was noisy.

Location to the beach and to local Ginza street with some great eateries. Central to many points of interest. Area was very quiet ( mid April) which was exactly what we needed. Crystal blue water, white sand & comfortable accom with private onsen

The water closet in the washroom was too cold.

The hotel is quite old and has a wooden structure. Footstep noises from other rooms especially from the above bothered us a little but it was not a problem.

Private outdoor natural hot spring inside the room. We could see the sky and outside trees partially good for privacy reasons for guests when using the private onsen. It was quite clean as well.

No signage within hotel to carpark nor directions from carpark to hotel lobby. Difficult to park car if allocated inside corner lot. Public baths rundown. Male outdoor pool empty.

Private onsen in room has nice outdoor setting and layout. Water is good. There is a small terrace leading to the outdoor onsen with separate toilet and bathroom at side. Toilet room and bathroom are cold spots, fortunately toilet seat is warm! Overall room looks good.

Stayed in December 2023

The room is very large but dated. I loved the private outdoor bath. Only a few meters from the beach. It takes about 15 minutes with the bus from/to the station. The bed was a bit firm, but more comfortable than in other hotels in Japan.
