Hotel Retreat in Sado is a quiet property set in nature. Reviews most frequently mention that the rooms are very spacious by Japanese standards and the bathrooms are large. The manager is repeatedly praised for being friendly and providing transport to the ferry terminal.
Many guests positively noted the room size and staff service. Several reviews also mentioned that the onigiri provided in the morning was delicious. The attached garage allowing direct car access was seen as convenient.
However, some reviews pointed out that the location is quite isolated in the mountains, requiring a car or taxi, and that windows cannot be opened or are absent. The interior felt dated to some guests.
