Hotel Analysis
Based on 3 sites · 677 reviews
This is a retro resort hotel overlooking Shimoda Bay in Izu. Guests frequently mention 'spacious rooms with stunning ocean views' and 'balcony open-air onsen'. Several reviews share the experience of soaking in the onsen while watching Black Ship Festival fireworks.
Japanese-style rooms are popular. Tatami floors, ample space, and balcony saunas overlooking the sea are repeatedly praised. Friendly staff service and delicious breakfasts, especially seafood dishes, get lots of mentions. It's a 15-minute walk to the station, which many find manageable.
However, the old building leads to complaints about hallway smells and dated lobbies. Pool use requires extra fees, and beach access is inconvenient. It's great for retro vibes but disappointing if expecting modern facilities.
Ideal for families or couples seeking ocean views and onsen relaxation.
