My family loved the beach and the ocean view from our room that we had and the view from the breakfast restaurant as well. The kids play room was pretty good and it was a big space for them to play in. Our room was super spacious for normal size rooms in Japan. The staff was super friendly and always willing to help us so appreciated that.

Not a lot not too like. Probably the breakfast options could be better. Felt like we had the same breakfast every morning, but it did taste delicious. A little bit too outdated in terms of the interior designing but didn't really bother us as we enjoyed the beach and were outside the hotel more.

The location is perfect, just a short walk down to the clean beach where we spent many hours soaking up the sun and enjoying the beautiful ocean views. The hotel staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, always ready with a smile and eager to assist with any request. Their warm hospitality made our stay feel even more special. The on-site restaurant was a delight, offering a wide variety of delicious dishes that catered to every taste. One of the highlights of our stay was the onsen, which offered breathtaking views of the ocean and a serene and rejuvenating experience. It was the perfect way to unwind and relax after a day of exploring the area. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed, with comfy beds that ensured a restful night's sleep. Overall, our stay at this hotel was nothing short of amazing. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect combination of beachside relaxation, excellent service, and top-notch amenities.

We had a ground floor room with a small terrace, which was very convenient for the beach. Having a small tatami area was very convenient with young kids. The access to the beach is fantastic! Best part of this hotel. Felt that the dinner buffet was overpriced with no other options. Breakfast buffet was good quality.

Downside of the room was that it was very close to the dining room so we could see people (and people going down the steps to the beach) - so privacy wasn't 100%. Parts of the hotel seem a bit old and tired (e.g. bathroom)

Our room was very comfy and so close to the beach! The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very extensive and delicious. The breakfast buffet one of the best yet! Location was good - close to Shimoda City yet private and quiet with its own beach. Excellent parking facilities.

The beds were very hard. We had to add extra comforters. Also, we would have liked a bar overlooking the ocean for late afternoon/evening snacks and drinks! Need a place to lounge after a long day of walking and site seeing. Our patio would have been perfect, but it was cold and rainy out!

Great beach

It’s been our fourth time. While we love the location&staff the amenities and interior needs a clear update and reform. Very old bathrooms. Scars at the walls. Fainted paint. Old capets. There is a clear need of reforming the whole building and rooms. Also the pool needs a new color, tiles etc. If Shimoda Prince would invest into a whole upgrade with a stylish infinity pool looking over the ocean, some more restaurants, bars and a modern interior and room designs it could be a stunning resort.

The hotel was built ends of the 70s and still has the style of those times, which is no bad at all. We had the topfloor twin room with a (not to deep) balcony and had an amazing view over the whitesanded Shirahama Beach, which is the main attraction of the hotel. The hotel also has an onsen with views over the beach too. We did not use it tho. We also had dinner at the hotel as it's mostly the only option to eat, as there is not much else around the place. But the dinner was really great: I had a Sashimi/Tendon set and my partner had a delicious steak set. Also there is a shuttle service to and from the Shimoda train station.

The hotel is on the older side but with lots of charm, like with any other ryokan hotels.

It has a great sandy beach below and it is ideal for all especially surfers. The room was very large offering fantastic views out to sea and down to the beach. There is a hotel shuttle bus taking us to Shimoda but we also caught a local bus not far from the hotel.

Although the whole place offered a great feel good factor with its views, bedroom sizes, excellent breakfasts, it’s external and internal decor is a bit tired and would certainly make a vast improvement if this was improved.

It is so close to the beach and it is not crowded like other beach. Staff are accommodating. Our children enjoyed playing in the fine sand. We stayed 4 days 3 nights.

The Air conditioner in our room is not that cold even it set at 18C°. We bought a desk fan because our 3 year old twin daughters could not sleep well at night.

Located on a gorgeous beach that you can access through the hotel. The view from our room was stunning. The onsen was very well equipped and spacious, and the view of the ocean from there was amazing. We had dinner in the hotel restaurant and the food was delicious. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They were very kind to my daughter who couldn't sit still.

Good/secluded location. Beautiful views. All rooms have a beach view. Quite and peaceful. The ocean sounds from you balcony is soothing. Cheap accommodation for the location.

There was the occasional smelly hallway. I also wish they would do a little pest control. There was the frequent spiders, big spider webs, and the occasional wasp/wasp nest.
