하마나우스 하마 초사하마 공원 앞 역 × 식사의 평가가 높은 호텔·료칸

The property and the Room were very clean, and it was quiet at night with little noise from the hallway or neighboring Rooms, so I was able to rest well. However, since it faces a major road, the loud exhaust noise from groups of modified cars echoed for a while, which was disappointing. Around 4:00 PM on a weekday, no one was in the large public bath, so I could enjoy it in luxury. I also appreciated the free ice cream after bathing. Breakfast was delicious as well. Whenever I passed the cleaning staff in the hallway, they greeted me pleasantly and left a very good impression.

It was a very clean and comfortable Hotel. It comes with two passes to use the adjacent Onsen Facility, which is a great value.

The check-in staff greeted me with a pleasant, genuine smile, and their service made it clear that the company’s hospitality training is excellent. The Room key is a type where you enter using a 6-digit PIN, so once you remember it, it’s convenient when going to the bath since you don’t need to carry anything except a towel, and it also feels secure from a safety standpoint. The Room was small for one person and was mostly taken up by the bed, so doing desk work would be a bit difficult, but if you’re just there to sleep, it was spacious enough. However, I have lower back pain and needed a firmer mattress; my back hurt slightly in the morning, so unfortunately it didn’t suit me. You can choose your preferred pillow next to reception, but I don’t usually use one so I didn’t take advantage of this. I love Onsen and used it three times during my one-night stay; by the second time I could feel benefits strong enough to moisturize my dry skin, so I was satisfied. I would have liked a few more hot dishes at the breakfast buffet. There were several kinds of bread available. The tomato dressing for the salad was delicious. There weren’t many side dishes overall, but considering it as breakfast, I also felt it was sufficient. Overall, with good service, cleanliness, an Onsen on site, and breakfast buffet included at this price range, I think this is a Hotel I can confidently recommend. One thing to note is that there aren’t any restaurants within walking distance from the Hotel for dinner, so you’ll likely want to drive somewhere or buy food in advance for peace of mind. Also, alcohol isn’t sold at the Hotel; if you plan to drink in your Room, I recommend purchasing drinks beforehand.

The bath, the Room, and the meals were all excellent. The bath has a great view and is spacious, so you can relax and take your time. The catfish at the breakfast buffet was especially delicious, so I ended up eating a lot. All of the staff were very kind. (Thank you so much for sending my lost item back to me!) I will definitely stay here again!

The staff were all very pleasant. Everyone was friendly, with smiles and a perfect sense of distance. The Facility is not new but clean. The public bath was also very clean. I especially liked the shampoo and conditioner in the public bath, which left my hair feeling silky smooth. Breakfast had more variety than expected and was delicious. We chose a Room with Airweave bedding, and my family member with back pain found it very effective and was delighted. It felt a bit expensive, but we were glad we chose it. However, one major disappointment was the water area in the Room. The edge of the sink drain hole had mold all over it. I cleaned it before use, and it came off easily—so please ensure this is cleaned beforehand next time! Also, near the sink area, there seemed to be failed caulking or cracks that looked like they could harbor insects—it gave me goosebumps just looking at them! My family also found this unbearable; it's not just my opinion. It was so unsettling that I covered it with tissue paper to get through our stay. If this issue persists during our next visit, we wouldn't be able to stay again—it’s that disturbing of an issue for us! This is such a great Hotel otherwise; please fix these caulking issues as soon as possible for future guests' comfort! Thank you so much in advance!

There are plenty of restaurants nearby, so you won’t have trouble finding somewhere to eat. It’s also convenient to have a convenience store right in front. The Room was spacious, which was great. There were no particular issues, so I would like to stay here again.

This was my second stay here. While many of the affiliated container Hotels are unmanned, this one has staff at the front desk, and they were kind and courteous. There is always parking available, and the Room is clean and comfortable. Because each unit is separate, you can stay without worrying about noise or sounds from neighbors. There was no cigarette smell at all, and having an air purifier as well makes it flawless. I also appreciate that each Room is equipped with a microwave. I didn’t use it this time, but the breakfast service is nice. There are many commercial facilities nearby, so you won’t have any trouble, and since parking isn’t first-come-first-served, there’s no tragedy of coming back to find it full—making it easy to go out. I will definitely stay here again next time. Thank you again for this stay as well.

I could only book a smoking Room and was worried, but it didn’t bother me much, and there was no smell from the air conditioner or anything else, so I was able to rest well. The public bath isn’t large with only three showers, but I was able to soak more comfortably than in the in-room bath and was satisfied. When I’m in the area again, I’d definitely like to stay here again. Thank you very much.

My last business trip of the year was to Kashima. This time, for the first time in three months, I stayed again at Flexstay Inn Kashima Central. Since it was a one-night stay, I arrived around 6:00 p.m. The renovation work seemed to be finished and the place felt newly reopened, but I did not use the affiliated Onsen Facility. Last time, the Christmas decorations at ART Hotel Central were wonderful... and this time I was amazed by the Hina Matsuri display—Hina dolls covering an entire staircase. Will there be decorations for Boys’ Day in May as well? I’m very curious. The seasonal decorations are truly impressive. I travel to Kashima frequently for work, so I think I will stay at Flexstay Inn Kashima Central again next time. Although I only book room-only stays, I’m always surprised by how inexpensive the bento boxes are at the TAIYO supermarket next door. The location is excellent and reasonably priced, making it my go-to Hotel for business trips to Kashima.

I tend to check the exterior on Google Maps in advance. This time as well, I looked it up beforehand and thought it seemed like an older Hotel, but since it was this price with an Onsen, I decided to stay—and it pleasantly surprised me. The room was very spacious and extremely clean, and the bed and pillows were soft; I slept wonderfully. The only downside was that—though I’m not sure if it was just that day—the Wi‑Fi didn’t connect at all. The Onsen has a great view, but I did notice the shower water pressure was weak and the bath depth was a bit shallow. Still, I’m grateful there’s a large public bath, so it was totally acceptable.

The Room I stayed in this time was very nice and relaxing, allowing me to spend my time leisurely. The spacious bath was just right for me, as I like it a bit hot, and it was very soothing. I look forward to staying again.

I hesitated a bit because it seemed more geared toward younger guests, but my old friend and I took a two-person trip just to relax somewhere with an ocean view. All the staff were kind and provided attentive service. This time we stayed in a cottage, and the ocean views were amazing both from the wooden deck and from the Room. We had BBQ for dinner on the wooden deck, and they kindly guided us then as well, so we had a great time. For breakfast, we were impressed by their commitment to using vegetables and eggs from 753. Next time, we’ll stay here with our family. Thank you very much.

It would be even better if there were a large public bath. A unit bath is a bit… But it’s been helpful.

I’ve been a guest since the former Kasumi Terrace days, and I’m happy to see it back. This time, instead of my usual takeout dinner, I used the kitchen to cook (though I only grilled some meat…). After cycling, I was able to relax and recover by soaking in the bathtub. Great value for money—excellent stay. I’ll be back!
