Hotels Near Sonoai Shrine in Ise

A newly opened budget hotel last year, the facilities are very new and the rooms are very clean and tidy. Friendly staff and good service. The hotel is about a 17-minute walk from Ise City Train Station, but the hotel provides a free shuttle bus service to and from Ise City Train Station, which runs every 20 minutes, so the transportation is quite convenient. The hotel is close to the railway tracks, and there is a slight noise from the train passing by. However, there are no trains passing by after 11:30 pm and before 5 am, so it will have no impact on normal sleepers. Breakfast is a simple buffet with not many varieties, but the quality is good and the milk is delicious. Recommended accommodation.

I stayed to visit Ise Jingu. First of all, the parking lot is in front of the hotel and in the basement, and if it rains, if you stop in the basement, it will not get wet at all. The hotel itself was quite hot because it was aging and the corridors were not air-conditioned. Is it possible to add color 々 because of the expansion work of the road in front of you now? The room was well cleaned, so there is no problem. I'm glad that everyone at the front desk was neat. The price is cheap, so I am satisfied even if the deterioration of the facilities is deducted.

It was clean and nice! Check-in was a little confused by myself, but once I checked in, it was comfortable and smooth!

The hotel is old but very clean. The location is also very good. The front desk has a friendly attitude. There are also many Japanese staying there. It's pretty good.

Location was decent - about 8-9 min walk from JR Iseshi station. Hotel lounge area was super. Just refurbished/looks modern and trendy, with a 24/7 coffee and tea bar. Room itself - clean-ish, felt alright, but I get what other reviewers mean when they say it is old. The rooms are clean, very basic but not modern. Wallpaper slightly peeling but they are trying their best to keep up appearances. Bathroom was clean. Reception lady was really earnest and nice. Overall, for the price paid in this area, I have no complaints and would stay again unless I find something better at same value.

The location is good, very quiet, however, do note that it's about a 20 minute walk to Iseshi train station (or a short bus ride). There's a convenience store just across the road, but very few other places of note in the immediate vicinity. The room was sufficiently large with all the necessary facilities, and all was in generally good condition. The staff was very kind and the service was good. Overall, good value for money

This time it was the day before the holiday, so I was able to stay at a great deal. For breakfast, we could choose the freshly fried counter Tenjira kaiseki, which is limited to 10 people a day, which we wanted, and I felt very luxurious from the morning. I could take a herbal bath many times if I had a room key, and even had a soft serve ice cream service when I took a morning bath. It was a wonderful stay with the weather.

Still great! Stayed at this hotel 2 years ago before the world changed due to the pandemic and was lucky enough to stay in a Sakura room on the 8th floor at that time…so was hoping to stay there again! Unfortunately no such luck as the hotel was completely full (it seemed) with a lot of families and a coach party (not the best feeling as we move out of the pandemic!) The pluses: Free shuttle from the train station Welcome drinks in the lobby (1 alcoholic drink per person) Shampoo and body soap bar…if interested Fantastic selection and quality of the dinner and breakfast buffets Large baths which allow you to feel pretty isolated even when quite full. The minuses: The rooms on the 5/6/7th floors have seen better days….rooms near the hot spring baths on the 2/3 & 4th floors seems to be the best along with the Sakura rooms on the 8th floor. Pretty noisy from 7 am at the front of the hotel. Presence of groups at this time does not add to a feeling of safety. All in all…so glad that this hotel has survived the last year and a half! Would definitely stay again if I could get a good deal!

Just before GW, I stayed as a refreshment when I visited Ise Jingu shrine. I had ISE tea and cheese cake hospitality after checking in at the front desk, but this cheese cake was very delicious. The room is modern Japanese. The view is outstanding with the sea from the window. It was a nice room. Dinner was a Japanese course (with spiny lobster and abalone) in a private room of a restaurant called Shiraishi, but the volume was just right and everything was delicious. Also, the male staff who were in charge at this dinner was very friendly and I was able to spend a satisfying time. Breakfast is also Japanese, but it was very delicious and I was able to relax. The hot spring bath was also beautiful and good. I think the customer service of the hotel staff 々 (both male staff and female staff 々) is outstanding. Also, I would like to stay when visiting Ise Jingu shrine.

Let me start by saying that the staff, particularly in the restaurant, had good English and we had no problems communicating generally, which I know has been mentioned in other reviews. We stayed in an Ocean Suite room for our engagement weekend, the view was amazing! Watching the sun rise over the sea was beautiful and the panorama of the islands and sea was so peaceful. The room was plush and the furniture felt relatively new. The bathrobes and pyjamas provided by the hotel during our stay were very comfortable, though something of a shame to not be able to go from room to onsen without outdoor clothes (other robes are provided at the onsen). I and my partner both have various food allergies or intolerances but the hotel has an exceptionally good way of managing allergies by asking you to submit a form beforehand. As a result of this, we were both able to have full, proper meals with no issues. For the breakfast buffet, we were given a sheet, in English, of all the dishes on service and all allergens. The food was excellent and the wine list was the best I have seen anywhere in Japan. There are regular shuttles from the hotel to station, and the reverse. However, these stop after a certain hour and the hotel is not easily walkable from the station. I am still not really sure how this would normally be done, I assume the hotel will pick you up if asked but we were not sure how to arrange (and originally thought from the map that it would be walkable). Honestly, I am looking forward to going back there - hopefully for an anniversary!
