Thank you for every wonderful staff who served for us during my stay. Especially Mr Rajesh from the restaurant. He is really kind person. Hotel is situated in the peak of Shirahama. The building and facilities is modern. When we arrived the hotel, they will escort you to take the welcome drink first in lounge then the the lady receptionist will explain the facilities and show you the way to room. The hot springs is really comfortable and facing the town. Room is average as we booked the standard room but they do have rooms with balcony. Highly recommend! The dinner meal is served Italian and taste is yummy with quality. Morning breakfast is extremely delicious compared to other resort hotel. They serve fresh sushi, fruit, juice…… and separate three different sessions to eat. In summer, swimming pool is open to use & gym room is available. When we leave the hotel, two gentlemen help us put the luggages inside the car and farewell us until our car totally away from hotel. Really enjoyable the stay and recommend who come to Shirahama.
I don't know if this place was recently renovated, but it was very clean and freshly done. The room was exactly as pictured on the website, and despite the small dimensions it was not bad. I was only there to sleep anyway, so I didn't need a huge room. There are no shoes allowed so you will be asked to change into slippers at the entrance after you check-in. The lady who checked me in was very kind and informative, probably relieved that I spoke in Japanese. Amenities are limited, but if all you want is a toothbrush and a shower with clean towels it is enough. They provide yukata at the entrance but they don't have a public bath, so it seems pointless unless you forgot your pyjamas by accident. They serve limited breads and all you can drink coffee, tea and juice in the morning in a little dining area. The hotel doesn't have a lot of rooms so there is no crowd of people to fight off for your morning bread roll. The entrance is open at all hours of the day so you can come and go as you like and sightsee without worrying about being back on time. This is a concern with some guest houses, I suppose. Only bothersome thing was the smoking area is directly next to a parking space, so you're smoking about a foot away from someone's car. This is probably not the best place to have the smoking area for both the smoker and the driver. The location is a 15 minute walk from the beach on a very narrow road, so you have to be careful at night as the sidewalks keep switching sides of the road and that particular road always has heavy traffic. There is a famous bath house not far away and also a foot bath at the top of Ginza-dori to soak your feet in either before or after your walk. It helps a lot.
