Spa Inn Shirahama

Rather old. The facade needs a new coat of paint. The lift also needs to be upgraded.

When we arrived by Motorcycle, we were not greeted with hello, but rather by a man almost ready to kick us out of the property parking. He changed his mind a bit after we told him we had a reservation. Quite unusual for Japanese greetings. Steel doors reminding of jails that you see in movies. Wall papers unglued from walls everywhere, repairs half done. Ripped curtains. Feeling like being in a slump somewhere in the middle of Africa. Besides the ocean view, it’s all negative. The utilization of the word “SPA” is highly misleading .... do not recommend at all. I would welcome my money back for this deception. If I was Hotel.com, I would remove this listing!

fast check-in, owner was polite and helpful

No hair dryer which is important for me. It was shown in the pictures in hotel.com that there’s hot spring that’s why we booked. But there was none.

Feel very welcoming for two night stay,warmed host,thank you!

if you dont understand japanese or cant talk japanese dont book this. will take your more than an hour of frustration talking to the frontdesk/manager of hotel. we had to ask our family member from our country to call expedia to get someone from expedia who can speak japanese to talk to them. will never book this ever.

the place was easy to find and its very near to many nice places in shirahama. the hotel itself is average the room was dusty but clean. by dusty i mean the whole room is full of dust. but its the cheapest ever. there is only 1 operator which is the owner and he handles everything himself. the owner is very very respectful and friendly. you got a microwave in the lobby and water vending machine. opposite the hotel is a shop and nearby is a lawson convenient store.

The room light is malfunction but the staff is nice and helpful.

First of all, the biggest con to staying at this hotel was that they didn’t have Wi-Fi. Other than that, there was just a general feeling of unease about this place. Although the man at the front desk was very hospitable, he was the only worker that we saw for the entirety of our stay (possibly the owner? He was manning the front desk for at least 12 hours and was there the next morning too). The place had clearly just undergone a name or ownership change because everything was marked with President Hotel except the sign out front. There was a used vapor in our room and our floor was the only one that wasn’t completely blacked out. We could hear people fighting all day and night in the room next to us. The area nearby just seemed sketchy and we didn’t feel safe going out after dark. Before bed, my boyfriend propped a chair under the door in case someone tried to come into our room. It was that nerve wracking. A couple positives: it’s very close to the Sandanbeki caves and the Sandanbeki bus stop and is also within walking distance of Senjojiki rock plateau, and a Lawson.

Right next to the famous sightseeing Sandanbeki, so you can save ¥500 parking fee if you park at the hotel and walk the 100m over. It is good for drive in guests as there are not much restaurants around. If you want to enjoy spa service, forget about this hotel, unless you book advance. Anyway it is a very small pool. We chose the sea view room, but there are not much to see. The hotel room is fine and the hotel staff is very helpful. But the WiFi is terrible.

A modest stay.

Fully service mind of front dest.

Good Choice, while you are traveling at Shirahama.

The owner was great. It is an older hotel, but for the price and location, we were pleased. We drove to the beach, as it is a bit farther. But we walked down to the overlook (looking out at the rocks and the water) in the evening and had a great view of the stars.

今回初めての利用しましたが、スタッフの方の対応が 良かったのですが、少し古いからでしょうか 階段付近のクロスが剝がれかけていたりしていたので 少し改修工事等をすればいいのになあと感じました。

ドライヤーの貸し出し台数に制限があるようで チェックイン18時ごろであれば既に貸し出しがない状態でした。 スタッフの方も少し高圧的に感じました。 値段を考えれば仕方ない感じはありますが 今後の利用はないかなと思います。

お世話になりました。

安い宿泊料で十分なサービスだったと思います。

設備は値段相応だがスタッフが威圧的な態度でガッカリした

急ぎで泊まる用事が有ったので、安くて泊まれればと選択。 外装見てラブホかと思いました（笑）。赤いLOVEの飾りが目印。 内部は改装されててビビッドな雰囲気で、やはりラブホチック（笑） 受け付けも特に問題有りません。 近くにコンビニ等無いので、買い込むか車が必要。 三段壁、千畳敷きが歩いて数分なんで、温泉や贅沢しない泊まりなら十分です。 また次も利用しようと思います。
