This hotel sits on an impressive cliff overlooking a tempting turquoise shimmering Pacific Ocean bay. To spend some extra bucks for the ocean view is thus recommended. Too bad we visited early April, water too cold even for us Swedes. The hotel is in need of refurbishing and stains on carpets/walls made our room feel slightly dirty although they probably... More

The hotel is located a bit outside of town on a small hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean, really beautiful location. Rooms (we had western style, twin) ok & clean, with a good sized bathroom. The ocean view was a highlight, really beautiful. Very nice staff, very friendly and helpful. I did not use the onsen (Japanese bath), but was told... More

Nice location, which overlooks the Sagami-Nada Sea coast. Clean rooms with very nice sea view, but hotel celebrates 50 years of business and should be renewed. A very good continental and japanese breakfast buffet. Friendly staff. Wired internet only in the lobby. Hot-spring baths with nice view and big outdoor pool.There's a free shuttle from train station. Kisami beach is... More

We got super discounted rates on this hotel, and expected it to be a a great experience, but it wasn't really anything special. The view was amazing, but the location is inconvenient (both to the station and the beaches), the shuttles don't run back and forth from the station after 5 (cabs from the station are around 1000yen), the building...

If you want a place just to relax and recharge your batteries, you may consider staying at this hotel. It is in a great location with awesome ocean views, very secluded, not traffic noise, very friendly staff and great service.I was there for two nights and I had a great time.

I agree with those reviewers that point out that she's a little frayed around the edges but I found the view, the staff and the general vibe of the place makes me give it a 5 star rating nevertheless. Onsens are excellent. Staff are super friendly and helpful - although with limited english - they'll still do their best. Restaurant... More

If you are looking for a hotel with commanding views of the ocean and the sweeping, rocky coastline, the Shimoda Tokyu Hotel may well fit the bill. However, it is not perfect and the room rate may be the determining factor. The hotel is perched high on a hill and certainly boasts impressive views. The staff were consistently friendly, welcoming... More

I stayed at the hotel in September with two friends in interconnecting rooms....on arrival we were warmly greeted and allowed to check into our room early...which is not very common in many Japanese hotels. The service was great - the team members always willing to help us. We also had excellent water views from our room as the hotel is... More

First the good points. Amazing, Amazing service and professional staff. We go to Shimoda every summer for 10 days and always go to the Tokyu for breakfast and lunch. The views from the huge dining windows rival anything in Sorrento or Amalfi. Both the buffet breakfast and French se lunch offer great value and are so good!!!. The pool is... More
