Shin Toji Hotel Lulud

It was super clean. Modern. No frills. Check in was via a machine. We laid out our own futons in the room. We took the tatami room without a shower (had a sink and a toilet). Shared shower rooms (like in a gym) available on another floor, or you could use the public bath facilities which were super clean and modern. The public bath has indoor and outdoor onsen. Had alacarte dinner in the restaurant onsite - excellent tempura and very good local craft beer selection. Free parking is available right at the hotel. Self service laundry machines available too. Common kitchenette. A pretty cool lounge (saw someone napping there so we didn't go in). Walking distance to town (about 15 mins), but I wouldn't do it at night because there are no street lights.

Many others were having some kind of BBQ dish at the dinner restaurant, and all of our clothes smelt like BBQ after dinner. The air filtering at the restaurant could be improved. Or maybe provide an air freshener spray for our clothes (like those available in most Japanese hotels).

I honestly cannot understand how cheap this hotel is considering the fantastic facilities it offer, the size of the rooms, the courtesy of the staff, etc. etc. I am sad we only stayed there one night and would suggest staying at least two. The private bathtub/small onsen in the room was fantastic. The room is also so peaceful and quiet, I had the best sleep ever.

All was as expected. I enjoyed hot-spring facility and that it was open for 24hrs, except cleaning time. The dormitory room for ladies where specious and comfortable. It's in walkable distance from Shima bus terminal, takes about ~15mins.

The pillow could be regular pillow with no bean filling or there could be option to choose from. Since it was winter, the ladies showers in 2nd floor where very cold.

Overall is fair value. Stayed at a twin room with private onsen (a bath tub).

Breakfast & dinner not expensive but quality is so-so.
