Shiraraso Grand Hotel

Good view ,delicious breakfast and dinner,nice view of hot spring

We enjoyed our stay. Very kind service for guests with small kids!! I wish only if they had a baby cot... so that I didn’t need to look for a room key for a long time. Thanks! We will visit there again.

Overall our stay was pleasant - good hospitality and food but there were a few things that foreigners need to be aware of; (1) Breakfast ended really early at 9:30AM, and (2) Check out time is early too at 10:00AM and they will start charging 5,400 yen per hour if late. I respect these are local customs so not a huge issue but flagging it just in case you are not an early bird.

The hotel is established over 80 years on the same location next to the beach, the room is a little bit old fashioned, but the kaiseki dinner is terribly good which makes the stay worthwhile. The staff is well-trained and helpful, I am glad that I had stayed in the hotel one night among the two nights in Shirahama. I stayed in a small hotel named Shinnishiki which is within only five minutes walking distance from Shiraraso. Shinnishiki is also of good value and provide me another good experience.

It was an amazing trip. The hotel is new and clean. It is convenient with a bus stop just outside. There is a free shuttle bus pick up from the JR station. You can find the beach right in front of your eyes in the room.

It was a great location with a good view of the beach. Easily accessible to the grocery store and the staff was nice!

Just step to the.beach, good location, good to see the sunset. Staffs were friendly food is good.

Rooms of different types and sizes that can suite requirements. Direct access to the beach and the hotel has all beach facilities available to rent. Fresh water taps are also installed there for guests to take shower and to wash away the sands before returning into the hotel.

We visited Here for a two night stay. It’s located next to the beach. Check in was straightforward enough, and there was free valet parking outside the hotel building. We had a decent sized tatami room with good view of the beach. There was not that much storage space, and there was television, safe, hot water kettle facilities. The room had a small bathroom with limited amenities, probably because amenities were provided in the two onsen that they have. The yukata was for provided adults only. The rate included a Japanese style breakfast at there restaurant, so may not be to everyone’s taste if you are from overseas. They have two onsen, which alternate between men and women’s opening schedules. Both are of decent size and are well maintained. One included an outdoor bath looking into the sea, which is nice, but it is quite open. The beach is next to it, which looks clean. There is a children’s playpark as well just outside, which was convenient for us. Also opposite the hotel is a decent sized supermarket and discount store, so the hotel is very well situated. We did not include dinner into our stay but the concierge was helpful in guiding us to restaurant locations, which are a nearby walk away.

All things are fine, except the air conditioning. No cool air, just heat. Very uncomfortable. We did open the window, but there were mosquitoes flying around. At our second night there, a bunch of people talked and played at the beach in the middle of the night, generating noises affecting our sleep. But we couldn’t close the window because it’s really too hot.
