Pluses for this hotel - wonderful views and all rooms have a view! Such a friendly, helpful staff. We were not sure where the room for breakfast was and the lady at the front desk walked us to it which involved going upstairs and down a hallway! Fabulous traditional breakfast and the staff were very helpful in explaining how to eat dishes we were unfamiliar with. We rented a private onsen and it was wonderful with great views- we rented one of the open air ones. Minuses - the hotel needs updating - a little run down and the beds were not great - probably would have been better to sleep on the futons but we aren’t that spry anymore. The restaurant on site was not open anymore. Overall we have had a wonderful stay. I love Hirado and would come back to this hotel. Some of our party speak some Japanese but the staff spoke enough English that along with Google translate, English speakers would do fine!

“Expensive and slightly faded grandeur”

I knew that this was an onsen hotel right from when I booked it. As it was so expensive I looked for other accommodation but there was none available and I couldn’t change the dates so took this risk and booked it. It’s only around 10 minutes’ walk from Hirado Sanbashi 平戸桟橋, the ferry terminal and … Più

I knew that this was an onsen hotel right from when I booked it. As it was so expensive I looked for other accommodation but there was none available and I couldn’t change the dates so took this risk and booked it. It’s only around 10 minutes’ walk from Hirado Sanbashi 平戸桟橋, the ferry terminal and bus terminal on the central Hirado Wharf where the bus which I caught from Sasebo Station terminates. Unfortunately, having tattoos, I couldn’t use the onsen but the blurb on the hotel’s web site looks like they are top class. When I arrived it was very busy and while I was there there was a lull flowed by another wave of guests so I suspect that, depending on the dates of a stay, it could be either very busy or having a lull. The food was exceptional and was included in the price. However, not really catering to foreign guests left me guessing about the food. It was all pretty much fresh vegetables, pickled vegetables and fish prepared in various ways. And lots of it so I didn’t go hungry while I was there. The staff were very helpful and between us we managed to communicate to one another. Would I recommend it? Yes, but it is expensive so that needs to be kept in mind. Location wise Hirado town is very walkable but if you are intending to go further afield (I kept mainly to sites in and around town) you’ll need a car or a good understanding of the bus routes and times.

“Great view and meals ”

The hotel is a bit old but it’s really cheap. The staff is very kind and helpful. We booked a Western Japanese room and got a great sea view with Hirado bay, castle and bridge. The dinner was excellent! The food are delicious! Abalone and beef are great! The bath here was interesting experience.… Più

The dinner was excellent! The food are delicious! Abalone and beef are great! The bath here was interesting experience. You could enjoy onsen while watching the big fish tank. Breakfast here was a local one. The lemon sweet potatoes is remarkable.

“Ottimi panorami, è un po' logoro camera”

Siamo arrivati molto tardi, per una vacanza nel weekend, e senza alcuna prenotazione...... Così, che possono offrire una camera ma senza pasti perché era completamente prenotato con punto d'appoggio preferito di festaioli che gridano.

Siamo arrivati molto tardi, per una vacanza nel weekend, e senza alcuna prenotazione...... Così, che possono offrire una camera ma senza pasti perché era completamente prenotato con punto d'appoggio preferito di festaioli che gridano. Così, siamo stati in una camera nell'hotel 'round, con una vista sulla baia, il ponte e il castello. La vista era fantastica, la camera di per sé (un mix di giapponese tatami e western con i letti) era un po' logoro. L'o-furo' era una camera grande la metropolitana con un acquario di mare intorno. Non abbiamo provato il rotemburo. Una nightwalk dall'hotel alla parte vecchia della città era piacevole. E' utile avere una luce con voi per gli ultimi 100 metri (niente marciapiedi).
