Cheap Hotels in Shimoda

"This was my first in-depth visit to Shimoda, and the hotel was conveniently located just two bus stops (about a 3-minute ride) from Shimoda JR Station. Right across from the hotel, you can rent electric-assist bicycles for 2000 yen a day, which I highly recommend. The dinner and breakfast were decent, but the service was really good. My fondest memory is definitely the lobby where you can enjoy complimentary drinks like beer, sake, and even champagne!"

"The views are amazing! The front desk service wasn't great overall, though one young man who helped me initially was very good, but the others weren't as helpful. The biggest issue was how hot the rooms were. It was really uncomfortable in the summer. We booked two rooms, a standard room and a suite, and the air conditioning in both was terrible. You definitely need to book the restaurant in advance, you can order à la carte, and the service there was good, and the food was quite tasty. There's really nothing around the hotel, not even a convenience store."

"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!"

"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."

"🚪【Exquisite Space】Small but perfectly formed! Each capsule is thoughtfully designed, featuring a built-in smart panel to adjust lighting, air conditioning, and alarm clock. It even has its own power outlet and folding table! The mattresses are perfectly firm, and the soundproof curtains instantly create a private world, ensuring you're undisturbed. 🚿【Thoughtful Facilities】The common areas are a delightful surprise! 24-hour hot water showers are equipped with premium toiletries, and the vanity even has a Dyson hairdryer! The lockers have built-in combination locks, so you can store even a lot of luggage with peace of mind. Even more surprisingly, the lounge area offers complimentary tea, coffee, and books—the atmosphere is incredibly relaxing!"

"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 sea-view room exceeded expectations, though the Indian-origin staff was a slight concern. Overall, it was still very good, but the price was a bit high. The service was excellent, but dinner wasn't very good and cost 180. The free hot spring was great."

"The accommodation is ideally located on the Izu Peninsula, close to a beach and a convenience store (combini). The manager is very kind and welcoming. It offers excellent value for money. There are plenty of parking spaces, which is very convenient if you're exploring the peninsula by car. We highly recommend this place and would happily return!"

"202***.23 Arrived at Haneda around 5 AM, then at Atami at 8:26 AM, luckily catching the Kinme-no-Tsurugi (golden-eye sea bream) ocean-viewing train. After having sushi at Fumito for lunch, arrived at Izu-Shimoda Station around 2 PM. The hotel was about a 12-minute walk from the station. Arrived at the hotel at 2:30 PM. After checking in, since it wasn't 3 PM yet, they gave me a card to exchange for a room key later. This card was useful for carrying when leaving the room key at the front desk after going out for meals. After arriving at 3 PM, I exchanged the card for the room key. During check-in, I mentioned the second floor, but was politely refused when I asked if a higher floor was possible, as they said they couldn't specify a floor and the upper floors were full that day. Upon entering the room, I found that the view was only a small glimpse of the distant sea, mostly just roadside greenery. The full-length sea view from the windows in the pictures of the superior family room is definitely only available from higher floors. However, after contacting Ctrip customer service about the floor view issue, I stopped worrying about it. Besides, the second floor connects to the public bath, which is convenient. The Japanese-style tatami rooms were quite spacious and very clean. What I liked most was that the showerhead was located outside the bathroom, so I didn't have to shower in the bathtub – that was great! The toilet was in a separate small room. My favorite thing about the Itoen chain hotel was the free karaoke. While the private rooms didn't have the same view as those in Atagawa, each session was ten minutes longer, and it was once an hour. I booked an hour for 4 PM when I checked in, and then booked another hour for 10 AM the next day at the front desk. I could sing all by myself and had a blast. The onsen (hot spring) was also quite large. The outdoor one was semi-open-air with a roof and a thatched wall covering the opposite side. It had been raining these past few days, so the semi-open-air feel wasn't a problem. Aside from the minor issue with the view, overall, it was a very good hotel with great value for money."
