Hotel Luandon Shirahama

Bozz5611 years ago

Stayed 2 nights, views from our large first floor room over the harbour were very good. Large and bright shower and bathroom also with harbour views. The shower is not over the bath, and the bath is whirlpool. Bathroom amenities were good quality but towels a bit on the thin side. Bed and pillows were very comfortable but the timber edges make getting in and out of bed awkward.||||Huge LCD TV with lots of channels but the remote was difficult to understand and we couldnt get rid of some on screen instructions which were in Japanese. ||||The on site onsen is very convenient, doesnt cost any extra but needs to be reserved so it can be filled up with fresh water prior to the time required. ||||This place was difficult to find as there are no english signs. We used the number 1 bus from JR Shirahama and were able to communicate with the driver as to where we should get off (Sanbashi stop). Basically if you get off the bus at the correct stop, walk back in the direction you came from for approx 100 metres and cross the road. The hotel is just past the hairdresser.||There are a few restaurants about but all require at least a 5 minute stroll. This is not the side of town where it all happens, but we were not looking for that. Its good to get away from the crowds of the big cities.|| ||The owners are extremely helpful and easy to communicate to. Drove us to the JR Station on the last day.
