The guest rooms, balconies, and bathtubs are very dirty, especially the large (not large) public bath on the first basement floor (which is called private).I cut my finger because the calcium blooms around the hot spring water were not removed💢The front desk was not available after 11pm, so I called the number displayed and received a first aid kit, but no apology was given💢There's a big spider in the room and a big G running in the bathhouse 🪳When I applied, there was no mention of no front desk staff or curfew time.It is an accommodation that is below the price level 😡

1.Change of managementI've been going here for over 10 years,The management changed 2-3 years ago.Due to cost reduction services,There is no point in staying here anymore.2. Room open-air bathScaffolding like a chair was added.It's too small to fit comfortably.The scenery is great though. stress.3. Large public bathIt was cleaned up, but...The temperature is not controlled and it is 60-70 degrees.I almost got burned.I started dealing with it by adding water, butIt is a large public bath with water set on baked stones, so please do not enter.I gave up. stress.4.InternetMobile phone networks also have antennas, butPoor connection, both docomo and AU.Connects to both Wifi 2G/5G, but only lasts for 5 minutesI get angry.It's like business is being hindered.An unavoidable ending.Dramatic and persistent stress.5. Shuttle carIn terms of location, from downtown to the beach,25 minutes walk. There is a meal shuttle service at night,Because the time was shortened to 20:00,On the way back, walk or take a taxi. In this case,Naturally, this is a hotel specializing in overnight stays, soEating has also become inconvenient.6.StaffAffection is good.Due to a change in management, we will also carry your luggage.There was no temperature control in the public bath,Just accept it.Now, this hotel that we have loved isIt may collapse. The manager,If you see this, please improve it.

The room with the swing and the bathroom grates are rotten and dangerous! ️ The wooden balcony is also decaying and dangerous.

(JAPANESE)I have mixed feelings about this hotel. The staff are extremely helpful and kind. Although the location is not close to the beach, the night view from the private terrace is very relaxing. Me and my partner spent the evening on the terrace, enjoying chats and junk food.The rooms are nice, but the whole building is clearly old.There are moisture stains on the window blinds which is a shame.Baths with private hot springs were not available. We were surprised at how dirty the bathtub was. So I only used the shower.Would I go again?of course!However, I would like to see improvements in hygiene.If it gets worse, it will be the last time we go there.Overall we had a good time.The bed is huge and there is also a mini fridge. A shared microwave is available.(ENGLISH)I have mixed feelings about this hotel. The staff is very helpful and nice.

Sadly.The bath, with private bathroom, was unusable. The dirt of that tub scared us all. So, we only used the shower.Would I go back?Sure!But I hope they improve in hygiene.If it got worse, then it would be the last time for us to go there.Overall we spent a nice time.The bed is huge, there is also a mini fridge. a share microwave is available for everyone to use.

I was fooled by the Yahoo Travel photoI booked late and there were no other hotels available, so I chose this one, and it was the day before a public holiday, so I paid about 16,000 yen, but there are many other good hotels in Shirahama for that much.The only good thing was the view

It's a fairly unique hotel. I think people have different tastes, but I don't dislike it. It reminds me of "21 Emon" by Fujiko F. Fujio. Even if you forget about other hotels, you will never forget staying here.What was interesting・When you enter the hotel grounds, many employees will come to greet you.・There is no restaurant, but we will take you to a nearby restaurant instead.・The shuttle car is not smart, but rather bulky and large (I don't know much about cars, so I don't know. Is it a foreign car?)・Cars are displayed in the lobby. It's a space that could be used for a sofa or any number of other purposes, but for some reason it's a car. Are you showing it to your customers?・There is a family bath that requires reservations.・Unique interior design with star-shaped thin cushionsSince I went in winter, there were no insects. The bathtub on the balcony was too cold to use, but if you look at it with binoculars, you can probably see it from nearby buildings, so even if it's not cold, you'd be hesitant to enter. Maybe you should wear a swimsuit.The hotel staff were kind.

I stayed in a separate maisonette-type room with a balcony and hot spring on the second floor.There is an indoor bath with natural hot spring water, so the second floor is warm and the room is along the mountain, so there were insects, and the building is old and it's not a hotel with good service, so if you don't like that, it might be better to avoid it.The quality of the spring water was good, the balcony was large and had a good view, and there was good ventilation, so I really enjoyed it.The refrigerator was also large and a good size to store the alcohol I brought in.You can stay there for a cheap price, and it's a satisfying summer memory😁
