1. Position: 3.5 stars. It's difficult to objectively evaluate the location of Shirahama hotels because almost none of them are near JR stations. The most expensive ones are on the Shirahama side, which is quite far away from the JR station. The hotel we booked this time is near Senjojiki, which is far away from the JR station. You need to take a car, but you only need to walk to Senjojiki, and there is a bus stop in front of the hotel, which is actually very convenient.
2. Price: 4.5 stars. The average single room is 336 yuan per night, which is about the same as Shingu, and even dozens of yuan cheaper. But this is the tourist resort of Shirahama, and the price is very affordable. You must know that hotels near Shirahama start at 1,000 yuan. . By the way, a buffet breakfast is included here, which is even more cost-effective.
3. Room size: 3.5 stars. It's not very big, but it's not cramped. There's enough space for a single person to stay in a double room. But my room type does not have a private bathroom. I have to go to the public bathroom on each floor.
4. Cleanliness: 4 stars. It's very clean, and the public restrooms are also very clean.
5. Service: 4 stars. The front desk speaks good English and is quite enthusiastic. After all, it is a tourist city.
6. Food: 4 stars. This is the only hotel that includes breakfast. The breakfast is Japanese-style buffet, with coffee, and the taste is okay.
7. Hot spring: 5 stars. It is also the only hotel with real hot springs on this trip. There is one indoor pool and three outdoor pools, which are enough for soaking. The spring quality is also good and it is very comfortable to soak in.
Overall rating: 5 stars. Except that the location is a bit far from the JR station (but the bus is right in front of the hotel) and there is no private bathroom, the price is really impeccable. I will stay again next time I have the opportunity, and then I will add more than 100 yuan in advance to book a tatami room. This room type has a separate bathroom and is more cost-effective!
