Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Disliked: Cleanliness
The beach access and staff were amazing. However, we were originally put in a first floor suite and although the view was great, the room had extensive water damage. We spent one night and morning feeling pretty awful and not wanting to touch anything. It was next to the onsen building, which looks very run down (although the onsen itself is beautiful). The staff did change our room to an upper floor with an even better view, which was very clean and not moldy. Amazing beach aside, the location was a little more challenging than we imagined- not a fault of the hotel- there just wasn't much around, few dining options, etc. The hotel shuttle did help us get to town regularly. We did not dine at the hotel because it required reservations and times that worked for our family were taken already. It was handy to be able to rent a surfboard from the hotel store. We would have had a great stay, had it not been for the moldy room the first night.
It’s a lovely hotel on a beautiful beach. The breakfast buffet is very delicious and the ocean view from the onsen was magnificent. The staff is incredibly friendly.
very good hotel, can see the ocean and sunrise in the room.

Shimoda prince hotel.
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.
Wonderful ocean view. Comfortable room and a solid value.

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.
This place is right on the shirahama central beach with amazing views. Beach can be accessed from the ground floor. They had shower facilities to clean up. Staff were very friendly and supportive. Loved our stay.

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.
No issues with location, service or cleanliness. Just felt the room as well as food and drink were a little overpriced.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
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.
