Seaview Hotels in Atami

"The hotel is located by the sea, a bit far from Atami Station. If you have luggage, I recommend taking the bus, as it's about a 10-15 minute walk. The breakfast selection was very rich. The room was quite spacious, and I especially loved the balcony where you could see the ocean right when you opened the door. It was also very convenient for watching the sunrise in the morning."

"I stayed at this guesthouse in Atami last December and had a pleasant experience overall. The location is quite convenient, as it’s close to Atami Station. There is a short uphill walk to reach the guesthouse, but it’s still manageable. Overall, I would rate the guesthouse 8/10. The main thing to note is that, as it’s a guesthouse, the bathroom and toilet are shared. There is also an onsen available on-site, though it requires an additional fee (which is not expensive). The onsen operates on a time schedule since it’s shared between male and female guests. The host was friendly and welcoming. I didn’t really get the chance to use facilities like the dining area or the rooftop, but the dining area has a balcony with a nice sea view, which looked great. Another big plus is that the guesthouse is within walking distance of Atami Heiwa-dōri Shopping Street, making it very convenient for food and shopping."

"I booked this hotel to watch the fireworks on the evening of the 26th. The price was double, and there were no ocean-view rooms left, only mountain-view rooms in the new building, which included breakfast and dinner for 4000 yen. It was still very expensive. Check-in was on the second floor of the old building. The staff was very inefficient, and their English was extremely poor, making communication very difficult. The room was relatively clean, and there was only enough space to open one large suitcase. We got a complimentary visit to the Fuua Onsen (which is open to the public, last entry at 9 PM). The hotel's own onsen is in the Tower Building. Towels and bath towels were provided, and the open-air, ocean-facing onsen was particularly impressive. Both breakfast and dinner were buffet style. Dinner was decent, but there wasn't much to eat for breakfast. The hotel offers a free shuttle service to Atami Station every 40 minutes."

"Overall, I'll still give it five stars. Not many Chinese people come to this area, as it's better to drive yourself. Coming by train is quite troublesome, as you'd have to call the hotel shuttle to pick you up, and wait for a long time. Alright, this hotel is still worth experiencing, and I'll elaborate further. The hotel has an entrance on the seaside road, where you can take an unmanned inclined elevator up to the 6th-floor lobby. I think this inclined elevator is the hotel's biggest unique feature. Once you reach the 6th floor, you can check in. There are several self-check-in machines, and they support Chinese, which is very convenient. The entire hotel is divided into three buildings (though it should really be two). As long as you can figure out the elevators, you're all set. Take the elevator from check-in down to the third floor to find the Salone, which offers free beer, sodas (over a dozen types), a fully automatic coffee machine, ice cream, and cookies – all complimentary. Just be mindful of the time slots. The fourth floor has the hot springs, and the fifth floor has the restaurant. It's best to book the restaurant in advance; I couldn't get a reservation during my entire stay. There are also many smoking rooms, almost on every floor. The room isn't big, but it's very thoughtfully designed. It comes with a prepared hot spring basket. There are slippers, four tissue boxes, and the fridge has two bottles of orange juice and mineral water, all free. The cleanliness of the room deserves the highest rating; even the glass overlooking the sea was spotless. Gazing at that sea, it's easy to get lost in past memories... Wiping away the tears, let's continue. The Atami hot springs have a slight hint of seaweed and the water is salty (yes, I tasted it). There are four private single rooms; no reservation is needed, you can just go in if they're empty. The co-ed hot spring requires a reservation, but the others don't, and they operate almost 24 hours a day. I always went for a soak around 2 AM, and there was no one else there, avoiding any awkwardness. It's very convenient to get around from here. Opposite the inclined elevator on the first floor is a Lawson convenience store, and beyond Lawson, towards the sea, is the beach. From the 6th-floor front desk, there's an uphill slope, followed by two sets of stairs, leading to a food street. At the end of the food street are Atami Station and the largest supermarket in the area. However, it closes at 7 PM... and my daughter doesn't get out of school until 7 PM. The fourth floor is worth visiting for a drink; you can see the entire city and the sea from there. There are many restaurants nearby, and popular ones always have queues during meal times. Finally, a complaint: the hotel's parking lot is hard to find. It's up a small road off the main street. And it's a multi-story car park, so 9-11 AM is peak time for picking up cars, and it takes at least half an hour. I later parked in the car park next to Lawson; it was double the price of the hotel parking but much more convenient."

"Definitely worth the price for an onsen hotel. The ocean view and tatami style bedroom are the highlight for my stay here! There is free bus shuttle service scheduled by the hotel, as a solo traveller who doesn’t drive, this definitely is a plus point! Will book my stay at here next time when I visit Atami :)"

"The hotel was very clean, and the food was absolutely delicious. The hot springs were also wonderful, probably because it was a weekday and not crowded. I highly recommend getting the dinner plan. For breakfast, we were able to have it in our room, which allowed for a very relaxed start to the day. As other reviewers mentioned, the坂道 (steep hill) up to the hotel was quite something. We went by car, and at one point, we encountered another car coming down in a curving tunnel. Since uphill traffic has priority, the other car had to back up the hill to let us pass. After arriving, we enjoyed walking to the shopping street in front of the station, but on the way back to the hotel, we took a taxi from the station. Even the taxi driver radioed ahead to another taxi waiting at the top of the hill to hold their position before starting the ascent. It would be great if there were traffic lights at the top and bottom. There aren't many cars coming and going, so we just hoped there wouldn't be any oncoming traffic on our way back."

"The room was really spacious and deep, which made for some truly elegant photos. Overall, this is probably one of the most upscale hotels in Atami. While there's no free shuttle to Atami Station, there's a bus stop right outside, and the front desk can also help arrange a taxi. There was a Chinese-speaking woman with shoulder-length hair and glasses, who was incredibly polite and had excellent service sense. The hotel facilities are also great; the public onsen is definitely worth trying – it's very clean and even has free drinks. Breakfast was good too; not a huge variety, but the quality was decent. The only reason I didn't give a perfect score is that the hotel's Wi-Fi signal for laptops was really poor, making it impossible to work. After I reported it to the hotel, they couldn't offer any solution other than moving rooms, but they didn't have another vacant room of the same type, so that didn't work out. All in all, the hotel itself is excellent and definitely among the top-tier in Atami for quality."
