The beach access and staff were amazing. However, we were originally put in a first floor suite and although the view was great, the room had extensive water damage. We spent one night and morning feeling pretty awful and not wanting to touch anything. It was next to the onsen building, which looks very run down (although the onsen itself is beautiful). The staff did change our room to an upper floor with an even better view, which was very clean and not moldy. Amazing beach aside, the location was a little more challenging than we imagined- not a fault of the hotel- there just wasn't much around, few dining options, etc. The hotel shuttle did help us get to town regularly. We did not dine at the hotel because it required reservations and times that worked for our family were taken already. It was handy to be able to rent a surfboard from the hotel store. We would have had a great stay, had it not been for the moldy room the first night.

Excellent property. Beautiful views. Staff was wonderful.

Old hotel, spacious rooms but not that clean.

お部屋から海と朝日が一望できてとても良かったです。 朝ごはんも色々選ぶことができ、満足しています。 ただ、ホテルから、あるいはホテルへの移動の際、シャトルバスの時間が限られているのがとても不便でした。

Loved it!

Room booked had good amenities and great ocean view! Onsen was very clean and great location to the beach and shrine.

Nice hotel with convenient transportation and good service.

Overall it’s good hotel and near to beach . We can enjoy Sunset or sunrise here .

Clean facility and friendly hotel staff.

Great for the beach.

rooms are so outdated and old

Very good hotel

Had a private beach and beautiful seaviews. Our room was very spacious and cleaned daily with water, tea, coffee replenished. Balconies were small with only standing room. There were not many options for outdoor seating as the are overlooking the beach was closed on an evening. We had food included which was great as only one restaurant nearby which didn’t look great and was fully booked. Air conditioning in room was good but this wasn’t in the corridor. Shuttle bus was great. Food in the restaurant catered mainky to Japanise but did have beef, spaghetti, fries and a few other western items. We enjoyed our stay!

Our room smelled like pee

We recently stayed at the Shimoda Prince hotel. The staff is excellent, the hotel is showing its age, and a bit run down. I was disappointed they charged for almost everything including beach towels. The beach was nice.

The pool is for kids and there are no reclining chairs. We couldn’t eat any food around the pool. I sent two messages but there were no answers. We are very disappointed in the food situations around the hotel.

I was amazed with the whole property my kids really enjoy playing in the pool also the beach. And the whole are is clean everywhere❤️

Our room, a combination of Western and Japanese styles, had a persistent odor that charcoal and air freshener only temporarily masked. The Western beds, consisting of a box spring and mattress topper, were uncomfortable and caused back pain. While the view was excellent, the food in the main dining room was mediocre; the steamed snapper, in particular, was overpoweringly sweet and salty due to an unbalanced soy sauce and sugar mixture.

Nice and relaxing
