Positive Reviews

Superbe vue sur le mont Fuji et la mer

De nombreux clients ont apprécié la vue imprenable sur le mont Fuji et la mer depuis la chambre, le restaurant ou la piscine, rendant leur séjour mémorable et unique.

Onsen exceptionnels et variés

Les bains traditionnels japonais (onsen), notamment ceux sous la grotte ou de style romain, sont décrits comme splendides, relaxants et incontournables, souvent mis en avant comme point fort de l'établissement.

Personnel accueillant et attentionné

L'accueil, la gentillesse et la prévenance du personnel sont souvent cités. Les clients se sentent bien accompagnés, que ce soit pour le service en chambre ou l’aide durant le séjour.

Ambiance traditionnelle japonaise authentique

L'hôtel offre une expérience typique de ryokan avec futons, tatamis, repas servis en chambre et atmosphère rétro, ce qui plaît beaucoup à ceux cherchant l’authenticité.

Repas japonais copieux et de qualité

Emplacement idéal pour la détente

Situé sur une île calme, l’établissement bénéficie d’un cadre paisible, parfait pour se détendre en famille, en couple ou entre amis, avec piscine et accès direct à la plage.

Negative Reviews

Piscine accessible seulement en été

La piscine n’est ouverte qu’en juillet et août, ce qui peut décevoir ceux qui voyagent hors saison. Certains regrettent de ne pas avoir été prévenus à l’avance.

Certains équipements et mobiliers vieillissants

Plusieurs avis mentionnent que l'hôtel aurait besoin d'un rafraîchissement, avec des mobiliers usés ou une ambiance un peu rétro, bien que cela fasse parfois partie du charme.

Petit-déjeuner très traditionnel japonais

Le petit-déjeuner est parfois jugé trop traditionnel pour les palais européens, avec du poisson et des algues. Certains auraient aimé une variante continentale plus accessible.

Restaurants de l’île ferment tôt le soir

Il est conseillé de réserver le restaurant de l’hôtel pour le dîner, car les autres options ferment tôt sur l’île, ce qui peut limiter les choix pour les repas du soir.

Coût du parking et éloignement

Le parking est jugé un peu loin et cher pour une nuit, ce qui peut être un inconvénient pour les voyageurs véhiculés souhaitant stationner facilement.

Ambiance ou équipements pouvant ne pas convenir à tous

Certains relèvent la musique classique dans l’hôtel ou des oreillers trop durs, mais ces points restent très subjectifs et n’altèrent pas la qualité globale du séjour.
