I was prepared to go because other people's reviews were pretty negative, but check-in went smoothly without any problems.It's certainly showing signs of aging, but it's understandable since the price is right. There were no insects, so I think it depends on the room, but I think you can stay with peace of mind.

Due to the delay of the Shinkansen, I had to arrive at the hotel after 10 pm without prior contact, and I was very worried when I saw the comments. However, everything went smoothly after arrival. Only need to make a phone call at the front desk, and there will be Japanese/English/Chinese speaking customer service to guide you in checking in and getting the keys. There are some problems such as old facilities and lack of toothpaste, but considering the low price and good location, I believe they have already provided the best possible service.

It was the worst experience. The room was damp, with woodlice, centipedes, and cockroaches, like a nest of insects, the air conditioner was full of mold, and the hotel had no front desk management, who did nothing and will never come back.

I stayed there for just one night last month.The only good thing about it was the location, but the room was terrible.Insects and cockroaches came out of the bed.I was scared and couldn't sleep.I will never use it again no matter how cheap it is.

It looked like I wouldn't be able to make it in time for the final check-in time of 10pm, so I contacted the customer center around 6pm in the evening to inform them that my check-in would be delayed.I was put on hold and asked to confirm, but they kindly agreed and said it would be fine in about 2 minutes. Check in around 23:00. I found a cockroach as soon as I entered the room. Contact customer center immediately. Can you change rooms from there, Partner Center? I replied that I would contact them and would get back to them. I haven't heard back from them after an hour and a second cockroach has appeared in my room, so I call again.At that point, I contacted the Partner Center, but they said they didn't know when they would be able to contact me, so I didn't know when I would receive a response.If you don't understand, shouldn't you say that on your second call?I waited for a call and fell asleep around 1am. Even when I woke up at 7am, there was no call. On top of that, there was no contact even after 5pm that evening. I found an email address that I could use to contact the hotel, so when I emailed them, I only received an apologetic response. It is better not to stay at this hotel as there is nothing good about it other than the cheap price. Waste of accommodation costs

It's seriously the worst. There were a lot of ants coming from the table and TV stand next to the bed.Building a nest. Two cockroaches appeared during our 3-day stay. I don't have anything like this in my house.The equipment is also dilapidated and the worst.It's really best not to stay here. It was the worst trip to Shirahama.I will never go to Shirahama again.Don't kid yourself.
