Hotel Urashima
10/10 Excellent
"Location : around 10 min walk from the JR station to the pier where the hotel provides free shuttle bus/ ferry pick up service.
Room: nice size and view. Rather old style But i consider it reasonable as it is an old hotel.
Onsen : I love the cave onsen. Very rare. This is the most beautiful features at the hotel.
Meals: buffet style. I always prefer kaiseki style. But it is a big hotel with a lot of guests. Buffer style is easy to manage .
Staff: nice and helpful
Recommended for good value for money "
"Very clean, friendly staff, coffee & tea was available, coin laundry, and luggage storage. There's a bright sitting area with books, tables and plugs available for use on the first floor - also where the breakfast buffet is served. We only stayed one night but would happily stay here again."
"Absolutely a superb experience here. The room was stunning and the food top notch. There is clearly so much care and attention here. It was lovely to be able to attend the morning ceremony as well. Highly recommend it. I'll be coming back for sure."
"The hotel offers all night onsen bath, as well as complimentary ice popsicles and mini ice cream treats for you to enjoy after taking a bath (or not). Also provides complimentary soba noodles at 9:30 pm (last for maybe two hours) on 1/F. Excellent service overall and definitely will stay here again in the future."
