My stay in Prince Shimoda

The ocean view from our room is great as it is next to the beach. The hotel has a simple onsen with a great day view. However, the hotel is far from any restaurants and a car is a necessity.

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.

Don't stay here unless you like to sweat

We stayed 2 nights at this hotel. Our family has 6 people - myself and my husband, and our 4 children (18, 16, 6, 5). We were told we had to get 2 rooms per the occupancy rules so we booked 2 rooms. The rooms were both on the same floor but at opposite ends of the hallway, despite a request to put us close together. When we arrived, one room had a futon (each room had 2 futons) made up into a twin bed. The other room did not. In reality, our entire family could have stayed in one room with both futons made into twin beds as the other beds were doubles and slept two people. After being forced to book 2 rooms, we realized that they expected our 5 year old son to sleep with one of the adults. We asked for the linens to make the futon into a bed and were told it would be an extra charge of 3700 yen per night (for literally one flat sheet, a comforter, and a pillow). We declined and had our son share a bed with a parent. The rooms were also incredibly hot for the entirety of our stay. Even with the temperature turned all the way down on the air conditioning, it never got below 77 degrees F (25C) the entire stay in either room. We were able to get a fan on the second night (there were none left the first night when we asked bc it was so hot) but even then it only dropped it another 2F. It was miserable. If I had not already prepaid for the 2 rooms, we would have gone elsewhere. The breakfast buffet was not very good and pretty pricey (2500 yen per person). Would not stay again.

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.
