Shimotaga Hotels, Atami

"Great stay with family. Food is wonderful! Serious ce is great."

"A good stay can be ruined by unimaginative people who behave loud after 10 PM. Such were my neighbours at my floor last night. Loud talking between 10 pm -1 pm and a person who was directly above me was active and noisy until 1:30 am. Pure idiocy and I wish the management could kick out such people in the middle of the night. Breakfast was a minimum they could give. Beyond any doubt it was the worst breakfast out of six hotels I have stayed in during my trip in Japan. "

"The hotel is beautiful. Eat ahead of time or else dinner at hotel was about $100 per person and need reservations. However, restaurants in area closed early around 5pm. We ate before arriving at hotel and got to use the onsens privately while others were having dinner. You have to call them for a free 5 minute shuttle from bus stop to hotel. It would be near impossible to walk it and it’s pitch black at night with no lights. Breakfast was delicious, beautiful and filling. Beds were comfortable. Room for family of 4 was very spacious. We were happy to spend some family time in the room. Bring snacks and a deck of cards to enjoy in sitting area. Free shuttle to train station where we took bullet train to our next stop."

"Room has excellent view to the lake. Food doesn’t seem kid friendly but kinda expected. "

"Beautiful location, amazing staff and super clean"

"Very clean, amazing view, enough options for food etc. Very easy check in process."

"Amazing amenities and staff which make the entire experience so worth it! I would definitely recommend for anyone who enjoys peace and relaxation with memories that will never be forgotten. "

"Wonderful experience "

"The property was beautiful with historical Japanese architecture and amenities. We stayed in one of the villas, which was the quintessential Japanese ryokan experience. The room was very spacious. The outdoor onsen was perfect, but the indoor onsen could have been cleaner. The moisture from the hot spring steam seems to be taking a toll. Unfortunately, we had an awkward check-in experience being asked by one of the employees to wait outside because it wasn’t check-in time (it was 2:30pm, half an hour prior to check-in) even though other guests we had taken the shuttle from the train station with had been invited in. The rest of the check-in experience was not very warm or friendly, which tainted the rest of the stay for me. That said, the staff that served breakfast and helped us with check-out were wonderful and extremely friendly. "
