We recently stayed at the Shimoda Prince hotel. The staff is excellent, the hotel is showing its age, and a bit run down. I was disappointed they charged for almost everything including beach towels. The beach was nice.

Hotel staff was amazing but the hotel was a bit out dated. Not much to do around hotel, and in Shimoda in general if you do not have a car. Highly recommend renting a car when staying at this hotel.

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.

Staff was excellent and friendly. Building needs a facelift. Standard wear and tear. Could be excellent with some updates, but I also may be biased as an architect and interior designer.

Good

The hotel is well located and it has it's own beach entrance. A bit outdated as it looks you travelled to the 70's or 80's. It was costly mainly for the "Golden Week" season. The convenience store is not as close as the receptionst say. The hotel might think about opening the pool for these kind of holydays and also an upgrade on their installations. The view of the onsen is great. Rooms was spacious and comfortable aside from small intruders.

8/10 Very good

Our room, a combination of Western and Japanese styles, had a persistent odor that charcoal and air freshener only temporarily masked. The Western beds, consisting of a box spring and mattress topper, were uncomfortable and caused back pain. While the view was excellent, the food in the main dining room was mediocre; the steamed snapper, in particular, was overpoweringly sweet and salty due to an unbalanced soy sauce and sugar mixture.

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.

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.

Overall, we had a pleasant stay at Shimoda Prince Hotel. This huge building is located right on one of the most beautiful beaches in Honshu. The beach itself is clean, quiet and not overpacked even at the highest season due to its remote location. The obvious downside is that this hotels is far from everything with very few dining options. Those that are available at the hotel are exorbitantly priced! Back to the hotel itself, it is a relatively old building with dated design that turns its hallways into a greenhouse. All end up almost 10C warmer than rooms, while the in-room A/C struggled greatly. When set to 22C, the room never reached below 24.3C and most times it was hotter than that. Rooms were extremely spacious by any standard with very comfortable bedding. The provided Yukatas were light and clean to sleep with. There a small working safe but this is a remote hotel and never felt that it would be needed. The bathroom left the most to be desired as its was quite dated and didn't work as smoothly as other hotels in Japan. It did provide a very wide selection of useful amenities though! We have to point out that the staff here was very attentive and friendly. Everything was processed in a timely matter. They also spoke more English than in most places which greatly helped
