Terrible service, old rooms, rowdy crowd
Reviewed By Graceful_EmpanadasI had a good impression upon entering the beautiful garden, and service was fine until I showed my foreign passport and the reception staff immediately switched to broken English... Some of them like to practise, so I don't really mind, but he cut out a bunch of things that other staff were explaining to the people beside me. The worst was he just left me after checking in to bring my own luggage to the room 3 halls away!!! I have never ever had to do that at a hotel, lest a ryokan! The room hadn't aged that well either and really needs an update. The tatami mats were discolored in patches and it didn't feel very clean. The baths were so busy that you'd never be able to get a key to the private ones, and you'd be lucky to even get a washing station at times. The only good thing was that there was a variety of facilities at the onsen, like cold water, hot water for pouring, plum salt etc... The private bath in the room was small, but actually pretty nice, except the view from my bath window was a garden hose. Dinner was a circus show. Lots of kids screaming around and people talking loudly. You had to line up along the stairs to get into the hall at your desired dining time! Food was below average and poor at times because of the quantity that needs to come out. Service was so lacking as a whole, so much that I needed to switch to the other seat because plates weren't cleared and I couldn't access the nabe! I enjoyed my other lodging at Shirahama so much better. Look elsewhere if you want a quiet onsen experience with good food and service!

Very dirty with lots of bugs
Reviewed By Holidaze24Just to be honest from the outset- me and my husband did not spend the night and sleep here. We were so concerned by the cleanliness of the hotel that we asked for a refund (we were supposed to stay for 2 nights). We originally quickly put our bags in our hotel room, went to the beach, then returned to the hotel. It wasn't until we returned from the beach that we actually property looked at the state of the room. The room itself was big. However, the doors to the outside were left open, so when we arrived there were lots of spiders and mosquitos around. There was also a dead fly in the ceiling light and what looked like spider nests all around the ceiling of the room. There was also countless, random stains all around the room. While this is a small detail, it is also worth mentioning that the hotel also stated it had WiFi available in all rooms when we booked through Expedia. However, it was only available in reception After complaining about this room, we were shown another room by the hotel staff. However, this room still had bugs in it and was equally dirty. We were offered a third room, but by this point, just wanted to leave. We have backpacked around Japan for 3 weeks now and have been in a combination of hotels and ryokens, as well as Western and Japanese style rooms. We have pretty low standards when it comes to rooms and have never asked for a refund on any hotel until we came here. We booked the hotel through Expedia, but the hotel wanted to give us cash refund. We felt unsure about this, but just wanted to leave there as soon as possible. I was originally not going to leave a review. However, the positive reviews of this hotel are what led us to choose it- and we personally feel as though they are not accurate or a true reflection of what we experienced at the hotel.

Good value for money! Comfortable room. Surprised by the nice hot spring.
Reviewed By utopia725I paid 5850 yen for stay-only plan without meals in Sept 2015. Good value for money. The owner was very kind and helpful when I encountered a problem. E.g. they helped me call a taxi so that I could make it in time to watch the beautiful sunset in Engetsu Island! Good customer service. As a solo-traveller, room size was not big but enough and cosy. I chose a room with sea-view ( note that only Japanese-styled rooms have sea-view ) The futon was comfortable. Amenities were satisfactory. The bathroom and toilet looked nice, too. I will certainly recommend the hot spring. You can press a button and more hot spring water will come in. I guess it wasn't a peak season for tourists and since I was the only one inside at that time, so it kinda became a personal "Hydro massage" service for me. It was fun. Afterwards, I could watch >20 stars at my room and it's beautiful. Convenient location close to the nearest bus stop ( <10 min walk ). Check-in time is flexible. Even the door lock design is convenient and user-friendly. I'd like to stay there again in the future.

Nightmare
Reviewed By JiravatJomWe came to this ryokan with high expectation. We left with disappointment. We stayed here for 1 night in a cottage with Onsen. The room itself looks very nice and comfortable. There are even 2 private Onsens in the cottage. They also provide a Nintendo Wii for guest in the room. Everything felt good. Then, came the nightmare. The room wasn't very clean. I could pick up some dirt and dust. I also saw several spider webs. We also saw dead insects in the toilet. This was the first part of dissatisfaction. The nightmare started at night. We are afraid of insects. It was rainy that day. This kind of weather attracts moths and termites. So, our room was swarmed with 100 moths, termites, and even spiders. We had to sleep in the room with these crawling over us at night. Worst nightmare ever! The Onsen in the room did not feel very good either. We have stayed in many Onsen ryokans before. In term of water quality, this one is almost at the bottom of the list. There are 2 Onsens in the room, 1 indoor 1 outdoor. We could not try the outdoor one because there were hornets near the Onsen. Quite a misfortune. The service was average. They explained the facilities and the room very well. But it took several minutes when we asked for something, especially in the restaurant. The food was disastrous. If you read my reviews, you will notice that I have stayed in several ryokans on my trip in June 2015. This ryokan has the worst food. Even worse than all of the restaurants we had in the trip. It tasted very very bad. We will never come back here. The only good thing about this ryokan is the look of the room. Would not recommend this to anyone.

Family trailer rental
Reviewed By AUG2016familytripWe have 2nd night move to here from Wakayama and you can park your car next to the trailer. Most Japanese families around you will do BBQ as there is a shop sell everything or you can dine in around the area. Not really comfort though but is our 1st experience to try trailer in Japan and will do more search next time. Bonus is you have a very nice view next morning if weather is good.

The hotel is truly beyond my expectation
Reviewed By JCKUI am very happy about the location of the hotel, the cleanliness and the size of the room, the great view of the restaurant, as well as the excellent outdoor hot spring pools. The breakfast is very simple and with very limited selections, but the good view of the restaurant makes up the breakfast itself.

Nicely located with full sea view.
Reviewed By Helen CWe stayed at room 1201, the biggest one on the floor with western and tatami beds. Room is very spacious with an impressive sea view and the beautiful beach. Obviously, it is a hotel of certain age, yet very popular among the Japanese. Staff speak English which has added value for foreigners. The location is just top. 2 minutes to the beach, 3 minutes to the famous outdoor onsen, 5 minutes to the famous fish restaurant 九繒亭, 10 minutes to the street of restaurant Ginza and 15 minutes to the famous cliffs and boulder. Onsen in the hotel is good. We have tried the family onsen the first evening. Well, we prefer the big shared onsen. Well, we are very happy with our choice and we would highly recommend it to our friends.
