Cheap Hotels in Shimoda

"The environment here is absolutely amazing, and being able to soak in the hot springs was incredibly relaxing. Breakfast was decent too. However, there were some real pain points. First off, I knew the hotel was on a mountain and that there was a shuttle service. But I didn't realize the shuttle and pedestrians use the same road to go up, which felt quite dangerous. Secondly, the shuttle schedule was infrequent. The biggest issue was that due to a landslide, the later sections of the Izukyu Line were suspended. The hotel's car picked us up at Katase-Shirata, but they wouldn't drop us off there for the return journey. They clearly had a driver picking people up at Katase-Shirata, so why couldn't they just take us with them? Plus, the front desk wasn't clear about this when I asked. The hotel car could only shuttle us to Shimoda Station, which wasted our time. It was a complete rip-off!"

"Fairly old building but well maintained. Huge space inside hotel and spacious room. Big onsen indoor pool with outdoor onsen available. Room furniture and condition are old but its good for 1-2 nights. Location is good. Near restaurants and shopping areas. Opposite fish market. Great amount of carpark lots available. Microwave and huge laundromat available. Not to mention 3x karaoke rooms with english/thai/tagalog/vietname/indonesian songs and billard table also for rent!"

"First of all, I would like to thank Ms. Yang at the front desk. Her sincere and enthusiastic introduction to the surrounding attractions and transportation was very helpful. Her attentive service definitely left a good first impression. The room was also very comfortable and clean, with all the necessary amenities. Our booked room had a private bath overlooking the sea, allowing us to relax whenever we wanted. Since we didn't have a car this time, it's about a ten-minute walk from JR Shimoda Station to the hotel. I recommend those with large luggage drive to the hotel or take a taxi. Regarding the meals, breakfast and dinner were both kaiseki cuisine, exquisite and plentiful. The only downside was that while dinner was different on the first two nights, it was the same on the third night, and we couldn't pay extra to change to other dishes. It felt a bit inflexible, but not a major issue. Overall, I would still highly recommend it!"

"It was the best place where my wife and I had ever rested. And the hotel and the whole city of Shimoda is a paradise. We liked absolutely everything. And the hotel employee - Kaori, is an exceptional nature person. She gives her work 200% and is the heart of this hotel. Thanks to her scrupulousness, sensitivity and care, there was a feeling that my mother was taking care of us in the hotel. We will definitely come back again! We advise everyone to visit this city and this beautiful hotel at least once. Visit also Ebisu Island, but treat this place with great respect, please! --- これは妻と私にとって最高の休暇でした。ホテルも下田市全体もまさに楽園です。すべてが素晴らしかったです。そして、ホテルスタッフの香織さんは本当に素晴らしい方です。彼女は仕事に200%の情熱を注ぎ、このホテルの心臓部と言える存在です。彼女の細やかな気配り、思いやり、そして優しさのおかげで、まるで母親に世話をしてもらっているような気持ちになりました。必ずまた来ます！この街とこの素晴らしいホテルには、ぜひ一度訪れてみることをお勧めします。恵比寿島にもぜひ足を運んでみてください。ただし、島を最大限の敬意をもって扱ってくださいね！"

"I had a great stay at this hotel! It’s located just a short walk from the beach, which made it super convenient for relaxing seaside moments. The view from my room was absolutely beautiful — I could see the ocean clearly, especially during sunrise and sunset. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. For the location and the view, I think the price was very reasonable. It’s a perfect choice for anyone looking to enjoy a beach getaway without breaking the bank. I would definitely stay here again!"

"The free bread served for breakfast was great. It may not be enough for big eaters, but it was just right for me. The room was spacious and comfortable."

"The hotel's location, one bed and two meals, cleanliness, and service are all very satisfactory. The only drawback may be the old facilities and hardware. I hope there will be an opportunity to upgrade the hardware in the future, such as worrying about the room, bathroom, and updating the bedding (I hope the mattress is softer and there are more choices of pillows). I will definitely come again."

"There are cockroaches, all kinds of cockroaches. The big cockroaches are spinning in the room, and the middle cockroaches are lying on the ground in the game room. The small cockroaches are drilling in the tatami mats. In fact, the small cockroach is not terrible, but it is annoying that it is possible to climb into the luggage and then follow home. This is more annoying. Others are fine. Hotel service staff is very good. The hotel is right by the sea, convenient, no need to say. If you are particularly afraid of cockroaches, you should find a new hotel. The old hotel may be difficult to have no cockroaches, after all, it is all wood. There is a Keikyu next to it, the price is double, but it is definitely a ”clean hotel”."

"I stayed in Shimoda for one night just for the delicious food in Shimoda. The B&B is near the ”Respohashirahama” stop, which is a 400 yen bus ride from Shimoda Station. There are many slopes and it takes about 10 minutes to walk to the place. There is a 711 a little bit behind the bus stop, but I was in a hurry and didn't look back. Finally, after I arrived, the owner's cool long-haired guy drove me to the convenience store to buy some delicious food for dinner. It's super nice. The room feels very homely, with a toilet and bathroom, and towels are self-service. There are many unique small ornaments and T-shirts with different patterns near the front desk. It can be seen that the owner is really trendy"

"The hotel I was most looking forward to and the one that surprised me the most during my trip to Japan! I saw the reviews saying that the food was good, and I wanted to try it, so I booked it in advance. When we arrived at the hotel, someone came to greet us and helped us with our luggage. We checked in and arranged for dinner. At first, I thought we would eat in the room, but I didn’t expect to eat in the restaurant, but it didn’t matter. The restaurant is a private room. When we arrived, the appetizers were already placed, and then someone came to serve us. I ate one dish after another until I was full. It’s too much! Who said that Japanese people eat less! And it’s really cost-effective, and the taste is also very good. It’s been 2 hours since we finished eating. The breakfast is also very rich, and the grilled fish is also delicious. It’s still very good to experience Japanese breakfast! We booked a tatami room. I thought I had to make the bed myself, but they helped me make it after dinner. The service was really thoughtful. However, I have to complain that the hot water in the bathroom was not hot enough. I just took a shower and went upstairs to take a hot spring bath (the public bathing water in the hot spring is better, and everyone can go upstairs to take a shower). I personally recommend everyone to take an open-air hot spring bath. It is really easy to lack oxygen in the indoor one. It is so comfortable to stare at the sea view in the morning! I will stay in this hotel again if I have the chance! ! ! Finally, the hotel provides free pick-up and drop-off service. The timetable for going to the hotel is in the afternoon, and the time for going to Shimoda Station is in the morning. It seems that you need to make an appointment in advance, but it is still very convenient."
