Best Atami Hotels

"The room was long and narrow, oceanfront with an unbeatable sea view, perfect for watching the sunrise from inside. It was spotlessly clean, as per Japanese standards, though the bathroom was on the smaller side. The included dinner was fantastic, with varied dishes each of the two nights. The hotel has an ice machine, and you can borrow an ice bucket from the front desk. There's no outdoor onsen. Accessing the outdoors requires taking the elevator to the rooftop and walking from there. A beach is just a few hundred meters away, great for an evening stroll. Nearby convenience stores sold sparklers, which many young people were setting off on the beach. The hotel's shuttle bus requires advance booking, as it gets fully booked very quickly. A pick-up service is available from the JR station between 2 PM and 5 PM. If you miss this window, you'll need to take a taxi yourself (be aware of potential queues during peak hours). Walking from the JR station to the hotel is mostly downhill, but the return journey is uphill. Furthermore, the hotel's rooftop entrance can be a bit tricky to locate."

"Arriving in Atami from Tokyo in the afternoon, we were unfortunately caught in a heavy downpour. My wife and I found ourselves stranded at Atami Station. Our original plan was to have dinner first and then head to our accommodation once the rain eased, but it showed no signs of stopping. Everything you read in the reviews about the hotel's proprietress is absolutely true. She's Chinese and incredibly warm and hospitable. The proprietress couldn't reach us initially, so she went to great lengths, contacting my wife through Ctrip customer service, adding her on WeChat, and then personally driving to Atami Station to pick us up. We were genuinely, profoundly moved by her kindness! Upon arrival at the hotel, she enthusiastically introduced us to the hotel facilities and nearby attractions. She was incredibly thorough and passionate about it! Crucially, she cleared up all my questions about the 'Kinmedai Train,' which truly ensured our trip was seamless and perfect! The hotel room perfectly matched the photos. On a clear day, you can enjoy stunning views of the blue sky, white clouds, and the ocean. (I've included some photos!) I didn't get a chance to take many interior photos, but the tatami room was impressively spacious! Unfortunately, it was pouring rain again on our departure day back to Tokyo. The proprietress had her husband (a local who speaks a little Chinese) kindly drive us to the station. He was very friendly. The hotel offers excellent value for money! Highly, highly recommend!"

"Overall is ok, not expected to have a very nice room but the location is easy to get to da station. Nothing much around there at night, but have convenient store. For me just a stopover to Fuji mountain. No coffee and other stuff like kettle that u need to borrow from the reception. Room is ok but quite small. The checkin staff was good."

"The location is unbeatable, after exiting Atami Station through the shopping street is the hotel. Have to eat hotel breakfast, very Japanese style, such as fireworks festival to go, either book a high floor facing the sea, or you have to stay to the seaside, this hotel is also a way from the beach. The next day we also went to the Mishima Skywalk, to pay attention to the time of Atami to go."

"The room is large and extremely nice, all the required amenities are there. The view from the room balcony is magnificent, overseeing the beach . The unseen in the room is nice too, the temperature is just right . The free taxi service to and from station is very thoughtful and convenient. this is better than shuttle bus service which some hotels offer. The breakfast options are many with both western, Japanese, and even a bit of chinese."

"Hotel New Akao is a huge hotel. It was built quite many many years ago, we stayed at the older wing, so the room tends to be oldish, but well maintained and super clean. For the price we paid, one would expect 5 star facilities, at least a gym for morning workouts, but they did not have that. However, the meals (Dinner & breakfast) provided with the price is fantastic and wide spread. I guess its a onsen hotel so people tend to go there just for the hotel onsen which is great and nice. We do love the big buffet spread of meals. The room is old, if you prefer the rustic feel. There are no convenient store nearby so when it comes to hunger, you only have vending machine beer. We actually expected to have free flow of snacks and beer but it is only limited to very off peak timing when most people are out for their day trips. Again, we feel that the hefty price tag should at least provide that free beer, drinks and snacks all day and all night. Overall, we still love the experience staying in the hotel. A word of advice - avoid peak seasons like New Year, you will expect to queue up for meals :)"

"The check-in process is simple. You only need to enter the relevant information in advance to complete the check-in procedure smoothly. All rooms face the sea view, with first-class views The room is clean and well-equipped Instant hot water in the bathroom If I go to Atami again, I will definitely stay here again"

"The food was so good! I was really moved. It is a seaside town. Unlimited seafood, freshly grilled and eaten, so great! There is a semi-open-air hot spring, which is very comfortable. I soaked in it twice a day, haha! The room is very spacious. It is a Japanese-Western style room for three people. In fact, it can also accommodate five people. The tatami is very spacious, more than enough to sleep three people."

"Great Japanese-style room, with Japanese garden scenery outside the window, a few steps away from Sakura Street, and a long way up the hill to the train station. Not all rooms can provide breakfast, it seems that only large suites can. Great, great Atami!"

"I don't know much about it, but it feels like a relic from the heyday of Atami, a place frequented by many Japanese tourists. It's not like there are few foreign guests, but it was interesting to see that the concierge staff were afraid to speak English. If you answer in English, they'll try to replace you with someone who speaks English well. Haha. Well, there wasn't anything particularly inconvenient because of that. The hotel has three public baths, including an open-air bath, and there's even karaoke in the pool. If you order dinner, you can get unlimited access to all kinds of alcoholic beverages at the buffet for an hour and a half. It felt like it was optimized for family trips and company seminar stays. Despite the many public baths, only one bath towel is provided per person. Please note that you will be charged for additional requests. Bottled water is not provided, so you have to use the vending machines, and the drinks from the vending machines are generally quite expensive. There are also massage chairs, but these are also charged. Maybe because the basic weekday accommodation fee is cheap, but it felt like it was covered by the facility usage fee. Still, I'm satisfied because the price is reasonable and it's convenient to use."
