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, 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.

The hotel is well located and it has it's own beach entrance. A bit outdated as it looks you travelled to the 70's or 80's. It was costly mainly for the "Golden Week" season. The convenience store is not as close as the receptionst say. The hotel might think about opening the pool for these kind of holydays and also an upgrade on their installations. The view of the onsen is great. Rooms was spacious and comfortable aside from small intruders.

Good hotel in Shimoda

I enjoyed my stay at the Shimoda Prince Hotel. If I ever go back to Shimoda I would consider staying there again. Pros: The room was big and comfortable, and based on the layout I think all rooms have a ocean view. My room had all the desired amenities, including a mini-fridge, towels, and even a rack for hanging clothes. I enjoyed the men's onsen. The breakfast buffet is good, although expensive. Fortunately there are some small restaurants nearby that offer affordable, tasty meals. Cons: As other reviews have pointed out, the maintenance leaves something to be desired, and the hotel can be rough around the edges. Also, the food is a bit expensive.

GOOD: The hotel is right on a beautiful sandy beach. It's a bit remote from bars, restaurants etc. The rooms are fairly large. The food was above average though not great. NOT SO GOOD: The hotel is very old and really needs to be torn down and rebuilt-especially to be charging as much as they are. I think the prices they are asking are ridiculous. My wife and I enjoyed our stay here-it's not terrible. But FOR THE PRICE I was disappointed

Older Hotel but the best in the Area

This is a hotel that has not been updated since 1974. The location is the best part of the hotel as I am unsure if there are any other beach front hotels in Shimoda. The room needs a major facelift in the rooms. The door to your room requires a physical metal key! The shuttle service has limited pick up times so reach out to the hotel and check. They also require a reservation otherwise the taxi ride is about 28,000 Yen. There are two restaurants in the hotel. They are pricy for what you get. There are only a handful of restaurants that are walking distance.

Overall, we had a pleasant stay at Shimoda Prince Hotel. This huge building is located right on one of the most beautiful beaches in Honshu. The beach itself is clean, quiet and not overpacked even at the highest season due to its remote location. The obvious downside is that this hotels is far from everything with very few dining options. Those that are available at the hotel are exorbitantly priced! Back to the hotel itself, it is a relatively old building with dated design that turns its hallways into a greenhouse. All end up almost 10C warmer than rooms, while the in-room A/C struggled greatly. When set to 22C, the room never reached below 24.3C and most times it was hotter than that. Rooms were extremely spacious by any standard with very comfortable bedding. The provided Yukatas were light and clean to sleep with. There a small working safe but this is a remote hotel and never felt that it would be needed. The bathroom left the most to be desired as its was quite dated and didn't work as smoothly as other hotels in Japan. It did provide a very wide selection of useful amenities though! We have to point out that the staff here was very attentive and friendly. Everything was processed in a timely matter. They also spoke more English than in most places which greatly helped
