Shirahama hotellia

Plussat: It is a very good place to have a rest. The bicycle can be lent in a good price and it is very helpful.

Plussat: Very kind boss, carefully managed the house which started from his grandfather's generation. After 85 years, the house still looks the same. The food prepared by the boss for the guests is warm, delicious and cheap. Shirahama is a leisurely and beautiful town. It is a wonderful place to stay no matter whether you have ever been here or not. Next time come back, I hope it will be summer. I will live in Dormitory Sandanya Guesthouse, play with water in shirahama beach, blow the Pacific ocean wind, and soak in the Yuzaki .

Miinukset: none

Miinukset: Wall is too thin.

Plussat: The guesthouse was just next to the bus stop and 三段壁 which is one of the tourist spots so no worry about the access of public transportation. Besides, the private room in Japanese style is clean and the shower room have a spacious changing room with it which I found convenient. There are tv, small table, mirror,extension plug and a stand fan too in the room.

Miinukset: The wall is thin and you can hear noise from next door because it is Japanese style room.

Plussat: Clean. Free drink in common space. Room is spacious. Close to convenience store, hot spring and Ramen shop and Turkish restaurant.

Miinukset: Nothing !!

Plussat: The house is super cute, clean and cozy! The room was very nice and was giving the feeling of being at home ❤ The futon was the most soft and cozy one I've ever tried! Slept like a baby

Miinukset: No complaints.

Plussat: Very friendly welcome from the owner and very well equipped and nice guesthouse. 100m from the Sandan Beki cliffs

Plussat: Very special place. We felt very comfortable in the familiar atmosphere of this guest house and spend a wonderful time in Shirahama. Everything was clean, we even got very good dinner and breakfast for a reasonable price. Thanks so much for this lovely stay!

Plussat: Easily accessible by car and there is a bus stop next to the guesthouse. This place is 1min walking distance to the sandanbeki cliff and you can have a nice stroll in the morning.

Plussat: Extremely helpful and considerate staff.

Miinukset: Smoking in rooms on our floor. We could smell it in the hall and would have preferred that if there is smoking in rooms, that they be isolated to a smokers floor or not in the room at all and only outsidel The room acoustics were not great. We could here our neighbors children crying and children in the hall yelling and running and we could here the people above us thumping on their floor.

Plussat: Everything- room perfect, onsen amazing , view incredible. Perfect.

Miinukset: Nothing - perfect.

Plussat: Great location and sea view. Hotel staff are good, helpful and excellent. Hot spring is also very good!

Plussat: The location is great. Spacious room and fantastic onsen.

Miinukset: Compared to several onsen hotels we have stayed in Japan, food (dinner) here was just disappointing (thinking about the price). Hotel staff was okay, but not as professional as those in other hotels.

Plussat: Excellent beach front location with spacious rooms. Breakfast was delicious (provided you like Japanese breakfasts).

Miinukset: It was quite expensive for what you get.

Plussat: A great location and close by to many nice attractions and the coast.

Miinukset: It is slightly expensive considering the breakfast spread wasn’t too great and not many dinner options.

Plussat: Absolutely beautiful. I needed a slight getaway from the backpacking life and stayed the night in the room with its own private onsen and it was the most relaxing stay I’ve ever had. It had a beautiful view overlooking the Ocean, and you could watch sunrise and sunset while soaking in the bath. They also had a winter holiday special dinner set and the plates were beautiful and well worth the money spent. The location is perfect, 5 mins walk from the beach and if you’re looking to keep sightseeing it’s only a 30 min walk away from Senjojiki and Sandanbeki.

Plussat: very good breakfast and good services

Plussat: Staffs are very friendly and very helpful. The room is clean and comfortable.

Plussat: The in-room onsen is awesome, we loved it very much. It’s so convenient to have onsen in own room.

Miinukset: The food in the G/F cafe is so so only. The hotel is located on the slope, it’s more convenient to have own car.

Plussat: Comfortable sea view room, good view, excellent onsen, delicious breakfast.

Miinukset: Hotel locate 10-20 minutes walk from nearless bus stop.

Plussat: The Location and the friendliness of the staff.

Miinukset: The bed was much too hard.

Plussat: The living room was good. The toilet was super clean. We were very very satisfied.

Plussat: good location near buscenter，and there's 24hrs supermarket with 3 mins' walk. Room is spacious. Nice staff.

Miinukset: Washroom is too small，better to have bidet shower in the washroom.

Plussat: The location is perfect. Everything is walking distance. The staff are super friendly and very helpful.

Plussat: Traditional Japanese accommodation with futon style beds (not raised as in picture). Cheap with great location close to the beach and walking distance to public onsens, cave, cliff & rocks. Bus stop very close.

Miinukset: Very limited English spoken so check in was tricky. Slight smell from kitchen sink.

Plussat: Good location, good price, bed was ok for the paid price

Plussat: Seaside Pension Petit Shirahama is a nice guesthouse. The rooms are pretty and clean. A little bit small but considering the price, that's fine. The location is perfect! We can walk to the beach and cross a street with many restaurants. Friendly and helpful staff !

Miinukset: A mattress for the futon would have been appreciated. The tatami were quite hard for the back. That's the only negative thing I could say.

Plussat: The owner is so kind and very amusing. Handily located next to JR station (train noise not an issue in the rooms), with 24 hour supermarket only 800m away. Absolutely awesome open air bath!

Plussat: The staff look like grandma to me.

Miinukset: outdoor hot spring is good in November but outdoor shower is too cold in November.

Plussat: Perfect location for those arriving via Shirahama station (literally 30s away), relaxing outdoor bath options, clean rooms, and a very kind proprietress

Miinukset: Cash only payment was a bit inconvenient but only because I forgot about that part oops, so just remember it

Plussat: The location is the best! Owner is no nice and welcomed.

Miinukset: We can check in just only 15.00-18.00 p.m. that I think it's really too short.

Plussat: Great location! And the bed is bigger than I expected! Host is super friendly.

Plussat: Bath outside

Miinukset: Cash only. Do not trust booking

Miinukset: don't have space for make up.

Plussat: Close to the beach and scenary spots

Miinukset: The bathroom is extremely small !

Plussat: Location is great. Next to the beach, easy to reach by car. Onsen is very nice and spacious. Dinner is delicious and service at the restaurant is good. Check-in is smoothing and the lady receptionist is so sweet.

Miinukset: The staff at the reception in the early hours do not speak much English. There was a group of Cantonese-speaking guests having a room party next to our room and they were so loud that we were woken up in the middle of the night. It took us quite some effort to make the night clerk understand that we wanted a different room.

Miinukset: Breakfast is simple and less variety

Plussat: Nice scenery , nice onsen, spacious room

Miinukset: The staff are generally nice but one of them was rude, we were doing check out and she rolled her eyes when we asked about the undersea tower next to the hotel and finally she didn’t answer us. In general this hotel is not worthy.

Plussat: Spectacular seaview both from the lobby level balcony & the onsen a few levels down. Also, staff is friendly & helpful.

Miinukset: nil

Plussat: Food , room’s view, friendly staffs

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The room was spacious, very stunning sea view. Showering room was superb. And the bed was good too.

Miinukset: Mine was a suite for 4 pax, but they gave only 1 key, which was not flexible & so much inconvenience when 4 person separated for different activities. The food (dinner/breakfast) was not good as expected, in terms of the price they had charged.

Plussat: Friendly staff, choices of bath and overall cleanliness

Miinukset: Food offer at buffet are the same. It would be better if different food offered on each day

Plussat: The front desk staff are nice and helpful. One of them even know Cantonese and helped us to make a reservation for dinner at another night. The onsen is great. The dinner and breakfast buffet is okay. There is a lady selling local fruit in front of the shop at the morning. -- I recommend this as those are great and juicy.

Miinukset: Our rooms are just opposite to the function room and it is too noisy even we close the door. Lucky that the banquet closed at 9pm.

Plussat: The room was really big with great ocean view. Their "box lunch" was exceptional value. Employees were super nice. This hotel is what I would call a resort hotel.

Miinukset: No way to get to hotel except by taxi. Not many places to see within walking distance.

Plussat: Located right at water front, extremely good view. Even if you do not book a sea view room, you can still enjoy the view at the huge lobby with comfortable sitting area. Good hot spring facilities and friendly staff.

Miinukset: Hotel does not provide shuttle service for their own guests. Hotel guests can use local hot spring community’s shuttle service but with very limited number of seats. Guests have to take bus or taxi from railway station.

Plussat: Its very holiday feel when you stay. The resort is modernly renovatted everywhere except the rooms which are in japanese style.

Miinukset: I am very satisfied with this hotel.

Plussat: Traditional Japanese room was very clean and cozy. Breakfast and dinner buffets were exceptional in variety and flavours. Onsen and outdoor pool and baths were clean. Overall accommodation was very comfortable to stay in.

Miinukset: Not much, as we had a car, it was easy to access.

Plussat: Very friendly hosts, especially the pick-up service was unbelievably helpful! We loved the location with a great view on the ocean (especially when we could watch the fireworks right from our balcony). Best part was the private Onsen on the balcony! Just perfect!!!

Plussat: Wonderful and helpful staff! Great location!

Plussat: Nice staff, anxious to help.

Plussat: Good design of onsen bath

Miinukset: Light too dim and scene is not good enough

Plussat: Firstly, the view from hotel is great! The hot spring in the room is excellent as well! It would be better that the bamboo fences could be replaced by glasses which can only be seen from inside instead of outside so that customers can enjoy the seaview while in hot spring! The hotel is equipped with a lift. And they have a minivan to pick you up at bus station or beach as hotel is in the mountain, hard for people to walk up to.

Miinukset: We arrived late on the first day as our flight was delayed. When we got there we met a not very nice receptionist who rolled her eyes at us when one of us approached to the car set in the lobby. And she emphasized like three times on only two pick up one day, which makes us feel that we're not respected and welcomed. And it's a wee bit expensive considering the location and no meals.

Plussat: We had a brilliant stay here. The rooms are funky and each has a private bath on the balcony. The baths are super hot. So use the cold tap to cool down. Don’t worry about the overflow. They also have three private Onsen in the basement. 2 are family size one is couple size. You just go down and if the are unlocked they are free. Go in lock the door and enjoy. Living in Japan and having been to hundreds of Onsen this was a real boon and highlight. Usually it’s a reservation system and extra charge, but not here. The hotel has no food or cafe but provides facilities for heating food. The major advantage is the free driver service. You go to reception tell them where you need to go and they take and bring you back. This is brilliant as they are located atop a steep hill. Makes you feel kind of special being chauffeured around Arno additional cost.

Miinukset: Nothing. We had a great time.

Plussat: Clean and tidy

Miinukset: View is good and you can see sunrise from hotel room.

Plussat: It is really nice onse resort with great value of the breakfast and dinner. Onsen itself was super nice as well both indoor and out door.

Miinukset: A little old inside the room. But pretty normal in that area.

Plussat: Environment

Miinukset: too many people
