THE VIEW Odawara shiro-no mieru hotel - Vacation STAY 66089v

The apartment-building is directly next to the Odawara Castle Grounds and looks very new; it is about 7 minutes on foot from Odawara station. There are restaurants and conbinis in the area. The apartment ist very spacious (we were three adults). I especially liked the bathroom: You can have the bathtub fill up automatically, and there is a function to heat up and ventilate the bathroom to dry clothes over night. This is very usefull if you have clothes you either cannot dry in the washing-/dryer-combo that is available, or if you get drenched in the rain as we did. Staff was very friendly and did not mind us storing our suitcases for a couple of hours after our check-out while we went to visit the castle.

Although the apartment is very spacious, there is not much room to store your things. As we stayed only one night, this was not an issue; but if you stay for longer, living out of your suitcase might become cumbersome. To be fair: This was an issue with all the places we stayed at in Japan - even in more expensive hotels - so this is a very minor complaint.

It's an apartment that you could actually live in, as opposed to a hotel room/typical AirBnB. Very spacious with all the facilities you'd need. Very clean and comfortable. Staff was amazing and accommodating to my requests to store luggage after checkout. Great location, close to Odawara station if traveling by train.

A little pricey compared to surrounding accommodations, but you get what you pay for.

Top location, top facilities and top staff! Apartment is very nicely renovated, clean, well equipped and spacious. We were not used to futon beds but we knew that we would get that before we booked. Takes practicing :) Staff was super friendly and polite and explained the usage of the facilities to us. Odawara castle is in sight, bathed in sunrise. We think that the apartment is nicer than the ryokan in Hakone!

Location near the train station in which a good grocery store. 7/ eleven store is around the corner. Nice view to the castle and the beach is near too.

Wonderful little apartment, fully equipped with high tech facilities in the room e.g. toilet that had self opening and closing lid, automatic water tap, high tech bath tub. Washer/dryer in room which has inbuilt washing liquid and fabric softener. Very comfortable stay in Odawara, could have stayed much longer. Few minute walk from train station and central shops. Right outside Odawara castle with view of castle. Very helpful and friendly staff member (even though limited English) who gave a tour of the room even though we arrived almost at end of check in time. Japanese style futon bed was comfortable. Bikes for hire onsite.

Stayed here April 2024. Happy with the apartment. Very clean standard Japan home. Got washing and dryer combo for laundry, induction cooktop, dehymidifier, etc. A view of the Odawara castle was a plus. Short walk to train station (JR, bullet train and Hakone Tazon line) and bus interchange so getting to Hakone was very easy. Alot of restaurants nearby, eg. Minaka and other street food. Staff was super helpful, friendly and speaks sufficient English. Also can hire ebikes at reception.
