Hotels in Shirahama

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

Positiv:: Gute Lage, Bushaltestelle vor der Tür. Sehr netter und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber, ich musste mir etwas aus dem vorigen Hotel per pay at delivery nachsenden lassen. Dafür muss der Hotelinhaber in Vorlage treten, hat er bereitwillig gemacht, topp! Hat uns Tipps für tolle Onsen gegeben. Alles vorhanden was man braucht.

Negativ:: Eigentlich nichts

Positiv:: Tolle Lage an den Sandanya-Klippen, das Haus wie ein kleines Museum mit Andenken an die Eltern des jetzigen Besitzers. Sehr gute Küche, herzlicher Empfang und Betreuung. Wunderbar stimmungsvolle Tatamiräume. Home away from home!

Negativ:: Nix

Negativ:: Wall is too thin.

Positiv:: 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.

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

Positiv:: 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

Negativ:: No complaints.

Positiv:: Super freundlich, sehr leckeres preisgünstiges Essen, alles da, was man braucht, vielen Dank! Habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt.

Negativ:: Lage leider nicht ganz so schön, mit dem Bus aber sehr gut zu erreichen

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

Positiv:: It feels like our second home. Our kids loves to stay there, the atmosphere is perfect and the hospitality is outstanding.

Positiv:: 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!

Positiv:: Our stay at Sandyana Guesthouse was better than expected, you really get amazing value for your money. The room was big and clean, there are plenty of facilities (kitchen supplies, laundry etc.) and it is really close to the beautiful Sandanbeki cliff. We also had an amazing meal at the guesthouse for quite a low price. We would definitely recommend staying here!

Negativ:: Nothing, it was sincerely perfect :)

Positiv:: 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.

Positiv:: Das Essen schmeckt zauberhaft gut. Der Onsen ist sehr schön, der Service ist nicht zu übertreffen.

Positiv:: Extremely helpful and considerate staff.

Negativ:: 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.

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

Positiv:: Good hotel with excellent service. location is good with carpark and bus stop just in front of hotel.

Negativ:: No

Positiv:: Kaiseki Dinner ist jedes Mal ein Erlebnis

Negativ:: Onsen ist von 9:30 bis 17:00 geschlossen

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

Negativ:: It was quite expensive for what you get.

Positiv:: Onsen, Lage direkt am Strand

Positiv:: Die Lage ist ein Traum, der Strand ist wunderschön

Negativ:: Ungewohnt auf Tatami zu schlafen

Positiv:: It is near the beach that got a fantastic sunset.You can spend a day for sunbathing and swimming and each room is sea view room there. There are three kinds of hot spring in hotel,in addition private bath required a reservation and extra fee about 2000yen. Anyway It’s a perfect stay for vacation.

Negativ:: Some of stuffs couldn’t speak English.

Positiv:: Very good location, close to the beach with own beach access. Nice lounge with drinks and very friendly staff. Onsen also nice.

Negativ:: The rooms are old. Room smells like cold smoke. Most of the rooms are smoking rooms and the corridor often smells heavily from tabacco smoke. Beside the old room interiour the toilett was smelling worst than a puplic train-station restroom. (unbelievable disgusting)

Positiv:: Sehr nettes Guesthouse. Die Gastgeberin gibt sich alle Mühe, dass sich die Gäste wohlfühlen. Grosszügige Küche, Aufenthaltsraum.

Negativ:: Wenige Steckdosen im Dorm.

Positiv:: Die Gastgeberin ist mega nett, die Küche und der Wohnbereich sind sehr gemütlich.

Negativ:: Schlechtes WLAN im zimmer

Positiv:: Beautiful staff!!!! Good location.

Negativ:: Nothing.

Positiv:: Clean bathroom, good close location to the beach, and a nice staff!

Positiv:: Wir konnten schon mittags bei unserer Ankunft Self- Check in machen und das Zimmer nutzen.Das Zimmer war zwar klein, aber gemütlich eingerichtet und sauber.

Negativ:: Leider war es nachts durch die anderen Gäste sehr lange, bis 3:00 Uhr früh, sehr laut. Es gab keine Handtücher.

Positiv:: The owner is so nice ! She's always welcome.

Negativ:: bathroom is uncomfortable .

Positiv:: Great location, very close to the beach. In a neighborhood with many restaurant options. Clean and felt traditional. Easy check in (but take note of check in closing at 7pm). Kitchen and lounge area great!

Negativ:: Shower was an 'outdoor' 'plastic' shower. Might be uncomfortable for some who want a proper bathroom to change in after showering.

Positiv:: The in is located in the part of the city where most restaurants are, and the beach is also very close. The staff is very nice and our room was big and comfortable.

Negativ:: There is only one shower available and it is a seperate element behind the main building. Although it was very clean it was a bit annoying to use.

Positiv:: the girl at the reception is very friendly, help us for many things it is close from the street with many restaurant

Negativ:: room can be quiet noisy, it's 10-15 walking from the bus comming from the train station.

Negativ:: Dusche: Sanierungsfall; Zimmer renovierungsbedürftig, Küchenbereich teilweise nackter Estrich. Für den Preis nicht tragbar.

Positiv:: Superb view, very clean, bed is comfortable. The onsen is really good too

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: Very good breakfast at horrible price. Nice hot pools on the top floor. Nice ocean view. Attentive staff.

Positiv:: Location was ok

Negativ:: Staff have terrible English and did not make guests feel welcome at all.

Positiv:: Die Lage des Hotels ist sehr gut. Pool ist sehr schön. Frühstück insbesondere das Kaffeautomat .....

Positiv:: Das Hotel hat geräumige Zimmer, nach vorne mit Meerblick, teilweise mit eigenem Onsen. Das Büffet zum Frühstück und zum Abendessen war sehr gut, es gibt jeweils auch westliche Angebote. Zum Strand 5 Minuten, Pool ist vorhanden. Zum Bahnhof gibt es zu bestimmten Zeiten ein Transfer.

Negativ:: Das japanische Restaurant ist leider nur gut, und dann ist der Preis zu hoch.

Positiv:: Just around 700yen per person and I can enjoy a private bath

Positiv:: Große Zimmer, toller Blick, da das Hotel auf einem Hügel liegt. Tolle Lage in Strandnähe, Onsen im 11. Stock war großzügig und bot eine super Aussicht

Negativ:: Wir hatten ein Zimmer im japanischen Stil gebucht, die "Betten" sind halt nicht sonderlich bequem, außerdem wurden sie jeden morgen abgebaut und abends wieder augebaut, sodass man mittags keine Gelegnheit hatte sich hinzulegen. Nächstes Mal würde ich ein normales Zimmer buchen.

Positiv:: The room we booked was perfect for our family of five. King bed for husband and I and three futons for the kids! All slept like a dream!

Negativ:: Restaurant decor doesn’t really match up to the amazing food.

Positiv:: Close to the beach and city center, nice view on sunset

Negativ:: Rooms are a bit noisy, especially the elevator ding noise woke us up from 06:00am...

Positiv:: Schönes Hotel mit Pool ca. fünf Fussminuten vom Strand in Shirahama entfernt. Das Hotel liegt auf einer Anhöhe, die aber problemlos zu meistern ist. Sehr ruhige Lage, gepflegter Pool (mit kleinem Pressluft-Aggregat, damit man die Schwimmuntensilien der Kinder nicht selbst aufblasen muss) und gutes Frühstück. Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Toller Onsen in der obersten Etage mit "private Onsen" (ideal für Familien, sehr fairer Preis für Hotelgäste). Der Strand ist super, ideal für Kinder - bei schlechtem Wetter ist das Shirahama Engery Land in fünf Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar. Der Flughafen ist ca. 10 Minuten mit dem Taxi entfernt, Fluglärm gibt es keinen, da es nur ca. 3-5 Maschinen pro Tag gibt. Wir können das Hotel ohne Einschränkungen weiter empfehlen!

Positiv:: Great seaview. good fitness facilities.

Negativ:: Usually you can expect high quality in this price category. Not at Marriott Shirahama: our bathroom was really old, not refurbished and what matters even more - rundown and mouldy. Who is looking forward to a location fitting to the room rates will be extremely disappointed. A great seaview and good fitness facilities are not enough to justify what is invoiced.

Positiv:: Sehr gutes Frühstück und exzellentes Buffet am Abend (allerdings recht teuer). Kostenloses Parkplätze vor dem Hotel. Schöner Pool im Garten. Der öffentliche Strand ist in 10 Minuten zu Fuss zu erreichen. Sehr freundliches Personal. Gut sortierter Laden im Erdgeschoss neben der Rezeption.

Positiv:: The rooms are spacious with great view of the harbor. Breakfast was delicious. Staff were friendly even though speak very little English.

Negativ:: Just a bit pricey.

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

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

Positiv:: Comfortable room with sufficient space. The staff are very friendly and helpful. It is close to the beach, 24 hrs supermarket and restaurants with good food.

Positiv:: The room is clean, nice, comfortable. The staff are very nice and helpful. We need to prepare the sleeping clothes and mat by ourselves, but they are comfortable. We did have a good sleep there.

Negativ:: The location maybe not very convenient for people without car.

Positiv:: The Location and the friendliness of the staff.

Negativ:: The bed was much too hard.

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

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

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

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

Positiv:: 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.

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

Negativ:: Kaputtes Wandpapier, Staub an der Ecke,Schimmel bei Duschvorhang...

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

Positiv:: 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 !

Negativ:: 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.

Positiv:: Das Frühstück war umfangreich genug!

Negativ:: Nichts

Negativ:: we weren't able to get a non-smoking room. The room had some residual smell of cigaret from the previous guests.

Positiv:: Onsen

Negativ:: No Shaving Cream with Razor Blades

Positiv:: 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.

Negativ:: 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.

Positiv:: Large and spacious rooms. All rooms have balcony and window facing Shirahama Beach, great relaxing view. Great location, beach at the doorstep, 5 mins walk to local restaurant and shops.

Negativ:: None

Positiv:: View from the room was spectacular Breakfast was delicious

Negativ:: The bathroom’s a bit too small. My hubby found it hard to move around in his six foot frame.

Positiv:: Location is good, all seaview room. The staffs are very good, very friendly and providing very good service.

Negativ:: I need to take the towel from the room to the onsen.

Positiv:: Room with the view which is covered the entire Shirahama Beach, dinner is good and well organized, friendly staff, parking area...

Negativ:: Need some renovation on the room, onsen and public area

Positiv:: Die Lage direkt am Meer mit weissem Strand. Sensationelle Aussicht. Top Service im Ryokan. Sehr nette Bedienung. Sehr gutes Essen. Schlicht sensationel.

Positiv:: 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!

Positiv:: Rotenburo war super

Negativ:: Kaum Ausgehmöglichkeit

Positiv:: The staff look like grandma to me.

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

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

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

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

Positiv:: Location is right next to JR Shirahama station. The Meiko Bus into town is a minute walk away. Rooms on the second floor have a private outdoor bath which is nice. Great views for train watching!

Negativ:: Booking.com says this property accepts credit cards for payment, this is not true. When we arrived, there is a sign in English stating your reservation must be paid in cash. As we showed the Inn Keeper we did not have enough, she tried to get us to use our visa at an atm in town to withdraw cash, which I refused to do. I showed her the confirmation From Booking that’states visa is an accepted form of payment. After a few back and forths and a call to her friend who speaks English, she agreed to charge the card Booking.com has on file to hold the reservation. Also, room is clean, but in colder months, there is not too much insulation so the rooms get cold.

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

Positiv:: Bath outside

Negativ:: Cash only. Do not trust booking

Positiv:: nahe am Bhf., lustige Hotelbetreiberin, nette Terrasse

Negativ:: 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.

Positiv:: outdoor sea view foot hot spring is amazing friendly staff(they help to pick your own yukata)

Negativ:: Dinner and breakfast not included interior of the room is a bit old

Positiv:: Bed is so so.. didn’t have a good night’s rest as it was either too warm or too cold. An Inn in Osaka provided Simmon’s mattress, I wonder... Air conditioner was all the way at one end of the elongated room.

Negativ:: Buffet dinner was a spread but the food could be better, air conditioner in room was at the end of the room, not effective in warming/ cooling the room.

Positiv:: Große heiße Bäder sind Teil der Unterkunft, inkl. einem Outdoor-Bad. Restaurant, Bar und Bäckerei befinden sich ebenfalls im Gebäude. Außerdem gibt es Aufenthaltsräume für Karaoke, Billiard, TV usw. Besonders reizvoll: Beim Check-in kann man sich aus einer Kollektion von Yukata (jap. Roben), Obi (Stoffgürtel) und Geta (Holzschuhen) die schönsten für den Aufenthalt aussuchen! Fast wie bei "Westworld".

Negativ:: Der vierte Stock riecht etwas muffig (früher Raucherbereich?). Für Restaurants (außer dem Hotelrestaurant), Strand, Sehenswürdigkeiten muss man mind. 20 Minuten Fußweg einplanen. Busanbindung ist aber vorhanden.

Positiv:: Food , room’s view, friendly staffs

Negativ:: Nothing

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

Negativ:: 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.

Positiv:: 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.

Negativ:: 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.

Positiv:: 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.

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

Positiv:: 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!!!

Positiv:: Wonderful and helpful staff! Great location!

Positiv:: Nice staff, anxious to help.

Positiv:: Zimmer waren groß, Personal sehr freundlich, kostenloses Shuttle war allzeit bereit, Onsen auf dem Balkon, Blick auf den Strand und das Meer, große gemischt betretbare Onsen im Keller des Hotels (private Nutzung, da es abschließbar ist), Handtücher wurden jeden Tag ausgetauscht (konnte man mit an den Strand nehmen) und das Zimmer würde jeden Tag super aufgeräumt, Jukutas lagen für jede Person auf dem Zimmer

Negativ:: Keine Dusche auf dem Zimmer (ist an den Onsen im Keller angegliedert), Teppich in den Zimmern müsste mal gereinigt werden, Das Hotel ist an vielen Stellen recht dreckig und verrottet (grundsätzlich ist im Zimmer alles sauber)

Positiv:: Good design of onsen bath

Negativ:: Light too dim and scene is not good enough

Positiv:: 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.

Negativ:: 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.

Positiv:: 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.

Negativ:: Nothing. We had a great time.

Positiv:: The hosts went out of their way to assist us. helped us with our bags going to the bus station. Really warm, hospitable and friendly people.

Negativ:: A little far from the beach but nonetheless we liked the hike from the hotel to the beach

Positiv:: The room was large and the staff were lovely. I was given a lift to the beach one morning and to the train station at the end of my stay.

Negativ:: The aircon wasn't quite powerful enough. The room needed to be a little cleaner. The bed could have been softer. It was further from the beach than one would like, but I found a great Italian restaurant on near Ezura beach as a result so it worked out for me.

Positiv:: Awesome service! Seriously, 5 star for this. Uncle was kind enough to drive me to the onsen and to the train station without me asking, he just offered straightaway. He talked to me about the onsen and about the beach, he's quite fun to talk to even with the limited english.

Negativ:: It's a bit hidden location-wise, but once you familiarize yourself around the area, you can go back to the property without using maps.

Positiv:: The breakfast was nice and the staff were very kind; they drove me to the bus station when I was leaving.

Positiv:: Great value basic accommodation. Clean. Staff seemed very friendly but spoke very little English (this was not a problem). Parking available. Could walk to a very good Italian/Pizza Restaurant overlooking the ocean (just in case you had to much great Japanese food and needed a change). Staff gave us directions to visit a local major park that had a fantastic display of cherry blossoms. Easy drive to Osaka if you need to fly out from there.

Negativ:: A bit out of town, but was quiet and in a local neighborhood.

Positiv:: Our pet could stay with us in the room

Negativ:: Nothing in particular

Positiv:: Staff was really friendly, even with the language barrier. We were invited to a jazz show on our first night in the cafe/bar on the first floor which was a lot of fun. Our room was comfortable and spacious. We loved being close to Ezura Beach/江津良海水浴場 (around a 5-7 minute walk) which was much less crowded, not at all touristy, and felt a lot more natural than the main beach area in Shirahama. Cute and quiet neighborhood. Not a whole lot in the immediate area, but a couple of good restaurants were within walking distance (Pescatore/ペスカトーレ and Hikari/洋食ひかり) and there were food stands by Ezura Beach in the afternoon. Breakfast was good, typical Japanese "western style". One of the staff gave us a mini tour and a ride to the bus station after we checked out which was really helpful!

Negativ:: We had a lot of wet things from going to the beach a lot, but no hangers or drying racks minus one so we kind of had to improvise. Most of the room was clean, but the toilet room was a tiny bit dirty and had kind of a funky smell. There were no towels in the room so we had to ask. Location is a bit inconvenient on foot unless you packed pretty light, but would be easy to access by car or bicycle.

Positiv:: The host was very friendly and accommodating, taking us on a tour of the town and arranging details with a rental car agency. We were the only guests at the time and had a good sized traditional studio room with tatami mats and futons. On one side through rice paper screens was a kitchen and on the other, a bathroom. The hotel was in walking distance to cafes, restaurants and the beach. The hotel has a cafe/restaurant downstairs with a band playing some nights, of which the manager is a member.

Negativ:: Bar at 1st floor little bit noisy when you are in the room

Positiv:: The staff/manager waited for me to till about 11pm, for me to check in. I emailed them and explained my flight will arrive at 3pm and the bus ride would take about 6 or 7 hours to Shirahama. When ever i emailed pension through the app, they was veey responsive and emailed me back asap. Thank you

Negativ:: I didnt like i couldnt stay longer and enjoy city. I needed a place i could over night and spend the morning in Shirahama. I am looking forwards to staying again.

Positiv:: Perfect location if you’re planning on spending your time at the beach.

Positiv:: Casual communications. Economical fare. Convenient location. International guests. 24 hours access to the bath.

Positiv:: The location: 3 minutes from Shiharama beach, near restaurants, bus stop and cliffs. The host provides bicycles, towels and a map for free. The room is comfortable (the futons, but not the pillows).

Negativ:: We were surprised and disappointed with the host's welcome (compared to other reviews we had read). We expected a warm welcome, exchanges but on the contrary, the host is very distant, even fleeing. Something may have changed? The atmosphere is strange. The room is clean but the rest of the house is not. Everything seems to be abandoned. The bathroom is very clad, the 1st floor toilets smell bad. The house is very humid and a bad smell (of sulfur and cigarette) is present everywhere. We won't come back.

Positiv:: The Koi pond was beautiful had a very calming effect on the place. The price for having your own room in Shirahama was awesome. The onsen/shower was also private which is very rare. 3 min walk from beach, less then a minute walk to the restaurants and the supermarket is about 5 mins. The location is perfect! The host is lovely as well as the friendly obachan

Negativ:: It’s a bit out dated

Positiv:: Very near to beach and super market. And host is very good.

Positiv:: Very close to the beach and center (restaurants).

Negativ:: As hosts don’t speak (decent) English, it is better suited for Japenese.

Positiv:: The house is very old and therefore sometimes a bit shabby, however very authentic and beautiful. The facilities are simple, but you have everything you need, even four a couple of days. There’s a fridge, microwave and water boiler available. The staff is friendly and helpful. The location is great: within walking distance to the beach, onsen, covenience stores, restaurants and easy accessible by bus from Shirahama station. There are also some bicycles that can be used for free.

Negativ:: Just one bathroom (women/men one each), so you have to wait sometimes. But as there are so many favourable onsen nearby, you have plenty of other possibilities to bath. My room was towards the street, so in the morning it got a bit noisy because of the traffic.

Positiv:: Die Unterkunft ist eher wie ein Ryokan gehalten, d.h. es sind große Zimmer mit Tatamis zum auslegen und man teilt sich die Badezimmer mit den anderen Gästen. Alles hat einen Hostel-Charme, ist dabei aber sehr gemütlich und freundlich. Das Personal ist jung und überaus freundlich und bemüht. Man schläft ruhig und bequem und es gibt einen kostenlosen Parkplatz direkt nebenan. Die Lage ist klasse. In 5min ist man am Strand und es gibt einige Restaurants und Supermärkte in der Nähe.

Negativ:: Die Notwendigkeit einen Zeitslot für die Dusche zu reservieren ist eher unpraktisch.

Positiv:: Gute Lage. Fussdistanz 4min zum schönen Strand. Restaurants um die Ecke. Sehr nettes/freundliches Personal. Ruhig. Geräumiges Zimmer mit Kühlschrank.

Negativ:: Duschzeiten. Die sind nur/erst ab 16:00 Uhr und man muss sich eintragen.

Positiv:: It was near the beach and the rooms were clean and the room was pretty spacious.

Negativ:: There's only one bath area for the whole house and it was fully-booked at that time. Our group was only allotted 2 hours per day for bathroom use. Hope they advised us ahead of time with that situation because that greatly inconvenienced us - having a bath area is a major factor in choosing a place to stay in.

Positiv:: War ein sehr schönes, sauberes Zimmer. Hatte alles was man benötigt für einen kleinen kurz Urlaub. Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal.

Negativ:: Nichts!!

Positiv:: The room was very clean and comfortable. Quiet location and close to beach and restaurants. Owner very helpful

Negativ:: No complaints

Positiv:: The room was big. Proximity to the beach

Negativ:: No bathroom in the morning.

Positiv:: The staff is super duper friendly and accomodating 100 stars

Negativ:: The dust is flying around the room

Positiv:: the guest house is 10 minutes walk to the beach, friendly staff, the place is clean. Thankful bec they allowed us to check in earlier than 4pm

Negativ:: There was only 1 hour alloted time for our group of 5 people. Because there was only common bathroom per floor, we were scheduled using the bathroom from 5 pm to 6pm, and so we werent able to use the shower next day morning. It was inconvenient bec we had to use public shower near the beach,and go back to the guesthouse to change clothes.

Positiv:: Clean and tidy

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

Positiv:: Environment

Negativ:: too many people

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

Negativ:: I am very satisfied with this hotel.

Positiv:: 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.

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