Cheap Hotels in Shimoda

"The location is a little distance from the bus station, about a 10-minute walk, or you can take a bus for one stop; the hotel entrance is right next to the bus stop. Walking directions can also lead to the bus stop, but Google Maps led me to the back entrance after following the hotel address, and I had to walk around for a while before finding it… The guests seemed to be mostly locals, and the facilities were quite good. I really liked the outdoor hot spring, but you can see the rooftop windows a bit further away, so I'm not sure if those are the guest rooms. There's free billiards, a claw machine, and bicycles in the lobby, but I didn't use them; I don't know if they're free."

"Conveniently located near Shimoda Port and Black Ship Museum, it's also an easy walk from Shimoda Station and other local attractions. Our room had a lovely sea view. The service was excellent, very polite and welcoming. The facilities were great; we booked a room with a private open-air onsen, which was very convenient, and there's also a public large bathhouse and a kids' play room. The cleanliness was top-notch."

"The room was spacious, but unfortunately, our assigned room was slightly off-center from the sea view. The public areas, however, were absolutely beautiful and uncrowded, making for a very relaxing experience. The cliffside hotel offered breathtaking views from its elevated position, especially the sea views at sunset and under the daytime sun – a stunning expanse of blue sky and ocean. One spot even reminded me of Jiuzhaigou! The pool area was surrounded by various hydrangeas, which was lovely. The nearby Kotoda Coast was also gorgeous, even more so than Tsumekizaki. The teppanyaki beef at Xiaoting was tender and delicious, the set meal was generous, and it even came with ice cream. Definitely worth a return visit."

"The room was spacious and quiet. The front desk staff spoke Japanese and English and were very friendly. The view was also great, with the ocean right outside the window. You could hear the sound of the waves with the window open, but it was well soundproofed when closed. It had two beds and a large tatami mat, which could fit two people, making it a room for four in total. There's free parking, and the hotel was clean. The shower and bedroom were separated, which was a nice touch. Very satisfied."

"The traffic is not very convenient, suitable for self-driving, parking is free It is owned by Yidongyuan. Quality guaranteed 300 RMB one berth and two meals, including breakfast and dinner They are all buffets, especially the dinner is rich in variety, even drinks. Japanese beer drink to the wall"

"Great location! I chose this place after seeing in the reviews that it's run by a Chinese couple. We experienced an earthquake and a typhoon during our two-day stay, so we couldn't go sightseeing elsewhere. We just explored the surrounding area when the rain eased up. I often come to Japan for vacation and have stayed in all sorts of hotels and guesthouses. Overall, this place is pretty good. I met the proprietress when checking in and the owner when checking out. Not bad at all! The hotel also offers several free shuttle buses."

"This is my third time visiting Shimoda in Izu, and I've chosen this hotel all three times. While it's small, it's incredibly convenient, being just a one-minute walk from both the train and bus stations. What's even better is that their website states no breakfast is provided, but they actually offer a complimentary breakfast, which is a really nice touch. If I come to Shimoda again, I'll definitely pick this hotel."

"I had a room with a private mini-onsen, Japanese-style. There's a refrigerator in the room, but they don't recommend bringing food to the room. I assume this is to avoid attracting insects. I spent my evenings in the bath admiring the stars. The public onsen is also wonderful (they change the location for women and men every day). The only thing I encountered was an Asian girl sitting in the outdoor public pool taking photos; after I made a comment, she left. The Japanese-style breakfast and dinner are very generous. I couldn't always finish them. I want to come back again. Although the swimming season officially opens in July, I swam in the sea; the water was about 20 degrees Celsius. Some people complained about the outdated design, but for me, that's actually the highlight of this hotel—the Japanese atmosphere with bamboo flooring and mats."

"The room was surprisingly large in Japan, probably because it's a Japanese-style tatami room, with room for multiple tatami mats. Room: Spacious enough, the floor-to-ceiling windows offer views of the ocean and park, a real plus. The door opens with a key, and if it's unlocked, it can be opened from the outside, so be mindful of safety. Access: Near the Kaiyu Park-mae bus stop, but the bus only runs a few times a day and there's no shuttle. Alternatively, you can walk to Shimoda Station, which is about a 20-minute walk along the national highway. At night, it's dark and unlit, so be mindful of traffic. Surroundings: 7-Eleven and Sukiya are both within walking distance, making it convenient for stocking up. There's a park downstairs with a beautiful lawn, perfect for taking photos. Facilities: This is quite old, so the facilities are only average. There's no Wi-Fi in the rooms, but there is in the common areas. Since there's no Wi-Fi, the TV doesn't have internet access, so it's basically unusable. The hot water takes a while to come on, and the bathroom is a pure Japanese design, with a low showerhead and a small bathtub that requires a small stool for washing. Whether you like it or not depends on personal preference. Onsen: There are large, indoor baths with separate men's and women's baths. There are windows overlooking the outside, but the view isn't very clear. The water quality feels similar to hot springs in China. There are two massagers, which I tried and found to be more comfortable than those in China, providing some relief."

"This was my first time visiting Minamiizu, and a friend recommended this hotel – it truly lived up to expectations! The accommodations were great, and the food was delicious. My only complaint is regarding the shuttle service. The day before check-in, I specifically asked about pickup details through Trip.com customer service. The hotel only sent a text message with the pickup time, but not the location. I assumed, like most hotels, that it would pick up in front of the JR station. To my surprise, I waited from 2 PM to 3 PM and saw no sign of the hotel bus. I started to feel something was wrong and checked Trip.com, where I saw a guest comment mentioning that after 3:10 PM, there would be no more pickups. Panicked, I immediately called the hotel. That's when I learned the hotel bus has a specific waiting point, around the corner, to the right of the JR station (and then to the right again). If this isn't communicated beforehand, and there are no signs at the station, it's impossible for guests to know where to wait. Therefore, I strongly suggest the hotel standardize its pickup service by clearly stating both the pickup time and location in advance. Both pieces of information are essential!"
