Nachikatsuura hotellia

Plussat: The location is very near kiikatsura stn though it's on the more quiet side of the stn. Also, the room is extremely big for 3 people

Miinukset: The place is very old. Due to the age, many broken tiles and stains in the bathroom giving it an old and dirty look. Also, i emailed the property twice via booking.com but never got any reply

Plussat: The room was very spacious - for two people. It seemed huge after staying in an ordinary hotel where rooms are tiny. This was more like a traditional ryokan. The bathroom was shared and never never had a problem using it - didn't see other people. The onsen was very nice too - small but very nice. There are free drinks in a shared area - tea, coffee and miso soup, which we took to our room. The place is very clean and we got fresh bedlinen and yukata each day - we only stay two nights. It is a small town and the lack of hordes of tourists pushing you around was a welcome change. The footbath by the station was a bonus too.

Miinukset: I wished I had stayed there longer. There is no internet but we had a sakura mobile router. It was good not having internet so we could actually enjoy the place instead of checking emails and browsing the net all the time - tend to do that when you have free wifi.

Plussat: We stayed only one night. The place is clean and very close to the station. It was a good option.

Plussat: close to the train station, very nice Japanese traditional breakfast

Miinukset: The WIFI in the hotel is very poor

Plussat: Location is good, right next to the station (on the other side). Spacious and clean room. Good breakfast.

Miinukset: The property is a bit old. WiFi is not good.

Plussat: Nice onsen and great home made breakfast

Plussat: Central location Helpful reception staff

Plussat: It is a small hotel located not far from the railway station. The female owner cannot speak english well but she is so nice and will provide you with anything. I got a free sweet japanese soup from the owner :) And the beds here were the most comfortable from all my Trip.

Miinukset: It can get chilly in autumn so you will need to use the air con for warming a little. You can only pay with cash here. And as I said the english can be a bit of problem so you should better learn a few words before the trip.

Plussat: I would definitely stay here again. However, first-time visitors should be aware of two things: 1) They only accept cash for payment (in small-town Japan, this is not uncommon). 2) There's no elevator, so unless disabled guests can get a room on the first floor, they should look for another place.

Plussat: Nice room. very clean.

Miinukset: The hotel only accepts cash for payment.

Plussat: Overall, it's a nice place to stay when you want to have a private room. Walkinh distance from train station, bus station, footbath in the pier. Spacious room compare to standard room in Japan (I booked twin double room) and the service is greaaatttt!!! They provide us with mineral water which is refilled everyday plus an orange juice. Something that seldom you get when you're staying in Japaneses hotel. Also, they provide us a free soup in the evening near the receiption area. You can also having breakfast only for 600 yen (I don't use this service so I don't know their menu). They also give us a map of area so can know how to get to the nearest konbini, recommended restaurant, or other shops. And the lady in the front office very helpful eventhough their English is limited, at least for basic conversation it's OK

Miinukset: It's 3 storey building with only stairs. So, if you bring big luggages, it will be troublesome. Just what happen to me

Plussat: Service is good

Plussat: Many onsens in the area and best tuna in japan!

Miinukset: Smaller room, but comfortable...

Plussat: Private toilet was nice, also liked the fancy sink and private AC unit. It was in a convenient location pretty near the main train station and quiet at night. I appreciated the many tourist information booklets in the room too which helped me find a great tuna sushi restaurant nearby! The staff were polite and accommodating, letting me do slightly late check-in and held my luggage for me after check-out. They also specifically aired out the tatami mats and linens for me since I'm a non-smoker which made a big difference (no discomfort or smell!) Nachi-Katsurra is also just an amazing place so I really enjoyed my trip overall! Nachi Fire Festival and delicious tuna were the highlights for me!

Miinukset: Not a big problem for me, but there's no elevator.

Plussat: Good value, clean and easy to find from the station. Guest house, no food provided. Tatami floored bedroom with two bunk beds, Comfortable and roomy. Quiet.

Miinukset: Only one onsen bathroom. No shower in the bedroom(just a toilet and sink) and the onsen was closed in the morning(from 10pm the previous evening). Smoking from other rooms leaked smells into the corridor(though not our bedroom).

Plussat: Location is good, 5 minutes walk to train and bus station. Basic Japanese traditional rooms. Clean. It was a smoking room but I did not realize a strong smell, luckily.

Miinukset: Room a bit small, and futons not very comfortable (compared to other places we stayed) but in terms of price/quality, overall is recommended.

Miinukset: I accidentally found small cockroach on the floor near my bed :(

Plussat: The tatami mat room, clean futon and a fridge, sink and toilet provided in the room!

Miinukset: It would have been great if there would have been a cold and hot water dispenser and some coffee and tea. Shower room could be a bit better (felt like sharing the family’s personal bathroom and it probably was)

Plussat: Cleanness. Value for money. Toilet and basin in each room.

Miinukset: There's only one bath for the whole establishment. Besides it opens only from 16.00-22.00 .

Plussat: renewed rooms and facility, very clean! tatami area is so comfortable to relax with roommates. Izakaya “Tairyo”, 5 minutes on foot is very nice to eat seafood

Miinukset: No hand soap and tissue box. you need to bring these items!

Plussat: Clean comfortable room right in the water with a lovely view. Nice onsen with indoor and outdoor soaking tubs. Great location. Enjoyable one night stay.

Plussat: The bed was extremely comfy, the best we have experienced in Japan. The room was very spacious. Vending machines are within the building to avoid having to leave for odd drinks

Miinukset: The onsen is the only option for cleaning and is not available until the time check out opens so if like us you want to wash the morning of check out you miss the chance to start hiking and exploring early. The interior looks dated

Plussat: Very comfortable beds in nice room. Good onsen and free bikes for 30 minutes. Friendly staff.

Miinukset: Assumed we had a sea front room from photos, but room faced the hills. We chose the hotel for the sea frontage, even though it is a short walk out of town centre. If you don’t get a sea view, may as well stay in town centre.

Plussat: The ocean view was very special. We fell asleep to the sound of the waves and awoke to a beautiful sunrise. A short walk away we ate at Meharzuchi nidame. The Best! The women running the breakfast room were so nice. We also enjoyed the onsen.

Miinukset: -

Miinukset: Coffee in the room would have been good.

Plussat: Good view direct to the sea. Good spring, delicious breakfast and nice staff.

Miinukset: If there is service to pick people up at the train station, it would be perfect. Because the town is so small, there is no bus between the hotel and station. People need to walk for about 10 minutes to get there. If you have big suitcases, then...

Plussat: Spacious rooms

Plussat: Onsen views to the ocean were excellent. The hotel was clean and the views from the rooms outstanding. The Izyaka 大漁 just two blocks away was phenomenal and better to eat at than the hotel.

Miinukset: Rooms are a bit dark and felt they need an update. The breakfast is only traditional Japanese that if you are not for cooking your own fish in the morning not the most useful. Checkout at 10am is a little too early.

Plussat: I loved the location! A short walk from the station and beautiful views of Nachi Bay. And loved the outdoor onsen.

Plussat: Size of rooms, facilities and onsen were pretty large

Miinukset: Staff could be more knowledgeable with info of recommendations around hotel like food and tuna auction. But they were nevertheless helpful.

Plussat: Manager and staff were very accommodating. Helped us with all translations, baggage services and even recommended local attractions and restaurants not included in the brochures.

Miinukset: The exterior looks alright but the interior is old. The building has 10 floors, yet they gave us a room on the 2nd floor even though our preference in the booking was for high floor & quiet room. After checking out the room which is near to the Onsen & banquet room, we asked for a room on higher floor and got one on the 8th floor. The lights on the 8th floor lobby is constantly turned off, that gives an eerie feel and unpleasant feeling after returning from the Onsen at 10pm. Service staff is good though.

Miinukset: The room was not clean. Hair dryer was dirty. The breakfast was not good(disappointed with salads), it was not worth for the price we paid.

Plussat: Great onsen Gorgeous balcony with a view out to sea Good sized room Plenty of fruit available for breakfast Helpful staff

Miinukset: Felt quite corporate / impersonal, which is to be expected in such a large hotel.

Plussat: The staff were gracious. Breakfast buffet plentiful. Onsen facilities were clean and pleasant.

Miinukset: The hotel is run down and needs an update. Carpets have stains. Bathrooms outdated. Futon beds were uncomfortable. Not good value for money. Much too expensive for what you got.

Miinukset: No wifi in room

Plussat: Traditional room was nice and spacious. The staff were very nice, helpful, and friendly. The private bath was wonderful. The buffet was nice and typical from area. The inside arcade and shop was fun.

Miinukset: The room could use some updates and it smells smoke even though it was a non smoking room.

Miinukset: During our stay we had lost our wallet. The staff were unwilling to cooperate and assist us when we had asked for them to write a report. The hotel “shuttle” was also not available most of the time. Staff were also unfriendly in comparison to the Kii-Katsuura station staff who assisted us to the best of their abilities as we did not speak fluent Japanese.

Plussat: The seaside “onsen” is incredible! But also the interior one has amazing views.

Plussat: 自然と孤独 Nature and loneliness 8) I want to come again. Very helpful staff. It’s good to make repairs, of course, but the location is so special that you don’t notice the flaws. Only enjoyment of Nature.

Miinukset: read above 8)

Plussat: Onsen facility, good breakfast, helpful and friendly staff. Nice ocran view from room.

Miinukset: Although there is shuttle bus to and from station, not suitable for walking traveller particularly in nighttime going through some dark area with no night.

Plussat: The seaview from the room is fantastic. The room is big. The open air hot spring is nice but a bit too small.

Miinukset: It is located in a place really really remote, I walked from the train station and it took 25 mins and I had to walk through two very dark tunnels. The hotel could send a car to pick you up but you have to call the hotel in advance. They didn't inform me when I do the booking.

Plussat: Rotenburo.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Ocean view

Miinukset: No wifi in the rooms Onsen opening times limited I tried to send e mails tree times asking for your information before i travelled to japan and no one ever bothered replying

Plussat: splendid and friendly service fantastic food a tunnel leads to the hotel located at a cove A resort where you can relax in a beautiful outdoor onsen overlooking the bay and watching the soaring eagles overhead enjoying excellent japanese cuisine and friendly hospitality.

Plussat: The view of the ocean was great!

Miinukset: The room had a weird smell and the womens rotenburo was not as good as the mens rotenburo concerning the views. Also the onsen area inside seemed really outdated and did not feel very clean/the water in the showers there was not really warm.

Plussat: Very kind people. Great view of the ocean, mountains and even cherry blossom flowers outside the window. Comfortable room and very clean. 10/10 (^^) The host even made us a vegan breakfast! The location is great for the station, beach and shops. Plus it is easy to get to the Nachi waterfall from on the bus nearby. どうもありがとうございます  Thank you very much! Aloha

Plussat: I liked the ocean view

Miinukset: Size of the bathroom and towels

Plussat: The view to the sea is really nice. In two minutes walking you are in the beach. And you get a ticket to go to the onsen of another hotel nearby.

Miinukset: They don't have elevator and the breakfast is completely Japanese, sone rice, soup and a bit of fish and eggs.

Plussat: Sea view is good . The onsen facility provided by the sister company is great . Value for money

Miinukset: No lift so need to drag luggage upstairs by ourself . The room is relatively small and cannot allowed 3 sharing , so family with a big group may not be a good option .

Plussat: Comfy, helpful staff, very clean. Free use of washing machine. Sashimi for breakfast,

Miinukset: Infrequent train and bus service to main town.

Plussat: Very nice staff who tried his best to explain everything in English, very good japanese breakfast, and the opportunity to use the relaxing and comfortable onsen in the sister hotel

Miinukset: It's a 10 min walk to the sister hotel
