Katsuura Hilltop Hotel & Residence

The food, staff, and onsen were great and the room was huge

The hill is really an issue at the end of walking around

onsen was very good.

the location is on the hill and you need a car to get in the center of town.

Very spacious great views and comfortable

The limited parking

We liked the Japanese style dinner and breakfast but there seems to be no other choice.

Yukata is provived but no over coat (Hanten) which may be desibel for winter time.

Spacious RoomsNice hotbath

The Hotel is on top a hill, you need a taxi to get in and out.The room was not really clean, a stingy smell of fried pork in skin stuck in all rooms.The lavatory hygiene spray did not work.The bed - cover had spots all over. Was is not washed or just too old?

Well equipped little apartment incl fridge/microwave. Oldfashioned but working. 10th floor (Suited to host 4 people: two beds, two sofas) with seaview (nr 1008).Friendly and polite staff. Parking places are shown on prepared photos resp. to explain directions to the parking lot.

Looks like a few complexes had been built in the seventies or so to accomodate senior residents, then couldn‘t be filled and now some of them are rented as hotelrooms. Old-fashioned interior, outside on the balcony rusty climate machine (dont inspect the inner parts). The inside of the building looks like the prison-floors in the movies but is open towards the sky ;-)

Very large room with a kitchen and a sitting area.

Superb view on the city and the bay. The sunset was amazing. The room was HUGE! Bigger than my home. The laundry equipement in the room was super convenient. The hitel has a Onsen. A ONSEN! Onsen are the best thing ever! You can soak the day's fatique away by immersing in Japanese Culture.

The flat is really spacious and with all the amenities. To top it all the view is mind blowing and you would want to spend a major part of your stay inside cooking and having a good time. Most of their rooms are on high floors and hence can get great view of ocean (may be some rooms on opposite side will not have it)

Nothing much, some stuff is old for example the bed sheets and sofa covers are too old and a bit dirty.

Large room, was easy to accommodate a family of 4. Good meals & lovely onsen.

Would’ve preferred housekeeping to come every day as the floor became sandy & gritty under feet quickly. It’s a little far from the town center, shops & beach, but if you have a car it’s fine.

Staff were decent.

Facility was below average Japanese standard, toilets and public bath not meeting satisfaction level. Room cleanliness was average, just enough to have guests staying.

The size of the apartment was great.

Very old, many facilities not open to us like gym, pool. Not the cleanest place to stay. Things like frypan were so old they were unusable.

The staff are good. Very helpful.

The hotel design looks like prison. We don't feel comfortable. We book for 2 nights. But we wanted to cancel and we only stay 1 night. Hotel is old.

We were very surprised with the room, because it was a studio with a kitchen and washing facilities (washing machine and dryer). The view was amazing. We were there off-season and the kitchen really came in handy :) The apartment was a bit worn-out but it didn't really matter because the view was amazing. The breakfast was very good, really Japanese style, it was worth the extra cost (not included). The hot springs (public bath) was also very nice.

Quiet

Wind noise hitting soming
