We stayed at this hotel the evening of October 15, 2012. As the hotel came into sight from the bus and as we pulled into the parking lot we were immediately seduced by the scenery. It wasn’t until 30 minutes later when we checked into our room we realized how awful this hotel is. The room was stale dated, the... More

This was an interesting place. We had a traditional Japanese room - the room itself was quite nice, reasonable size. The table was replaced by tatami beds in the evening by the staff. Very efficient at the room change over. Staff was very friendly, although many of the front desk attendants did not speak english. They made a lot of... More

My daughter and I stayed in 5 hotels on an onsen holiday in the Atami region and this was by far the best in terms of ambience, location overlooking the sea, great food and attentive service. Most of the negative reviews related to the older wing with the traditional-style rooms, so reading Tripadvisor feedback on those helped us decide to... More

We arrived at night. Convenient free Shuttle bus from the station took us through a tunnel. Could not believe the look of the Lobby when we first arrived. It was creepy, and yet nostalgic. I can't describe it in words very well, but there was something about the hotel that took be back in time when I visited Japan as... More

Simply put, I was completely creeped out by the traditional rooms. It was a whole new experience for a hotel experience. There were no beds when I first walked in, so I was definitely concerned about my night. I remember a sourish smell that was very unpleasant but not a big of a deal. It's a really old hotel, what...

It is as one previous reviewer put it: Creepy. A perfect setting for a crimte thriller. The place f e e l s deserted, and although you get the impression that the hotels tries to renew itself (quite new graphical profile it seems, new onsen from 2008), they fight a stronger trend. When mentioning to Japanese friends that I was... More

I was excited to stay at this hotel after reading the good reviews about experiencing a true traditional japanese accommodation. However upon arrival, I noticed immediately that the hotel is NOT so new. The floral decor and old carpeting were the first indication. After checking into our room, I noticed a stale smell in our room and opened the window,... More

This hotel is definitely older and the decor is a strange mix of traditional Japanese and western, but this is a great place to stay!!!! If you are looking for a luxury hotel, this is not the place for you. What this place does have going for it is the incredible view! The hotel itself extends into the ocean and... More

It's an nice experience to stay in this hotel. Its room is of traditional japanese-style with tatami floor. The room that we stayed has a very beautiful ocean view. You can even watch sunrise if you can get up early in the morning. I like this hotel with its hot spring bathes, its quiet surroundings, its garden. The whole place... More
