Atami Ikyuan 熱海一休庵

Great price, nice onsen and comfy room.

Was all good and how imagined, important to read the instructions before and be aware of the location, which is uphill

Cozy traditional house, quiet area, close to train station, comfy beds.

The guest welcome process could be improved A LOT. There was no-one to see us in, and no clear instructions in English either. After scanning a QR code to finally communicate with the host via WhatsApp, they started with a canned request for passport numbers etc. despite my having duly provided such in advance as requested by email. All the while, we were stuck in a sweltering hot hallway with no AC desperately trying to figure out how to get the key to our room.

露天風呂も内風呂も、無料で貸し切りができ、しかも源泉かけ流しで新鮮な温泉に入れて大満足であった。 また、布団があたたかく、枕が快適で熟睡できた。熱海駅からタクシーで行ったが、運転手さんはよく場所をわかっていて、７分ほどで到着できたので、楽だった。近くにマックスバリュがあるので、節約旅行をしたい人にもピッタリだと思う。チェックイン時も的確なご指示で、簡潔に終了した。朝、２時間延長したが、１時間あたり2000円。4人で利用したので、お得だと感じた。

デラックスファミリールームに泊まったが、前泊の客のごみが冷蔵庫内に残っていた。冷蔵庫の中を、もっと清潔にしておいてほしい。チェックインがやや複雑だが（無人チェックイン）、１度経験してしまえば、なんてことはない。こうした作業が苦手な人は、ホテルや旅館に泊まった方がよいと思う。個人的には気にならないが、タオルや浴衣、歯ブラシで加算料金を取られたくないと思う人は、その用意をしていくとベター。

Responsive host Nice room/ bed Beautiful onsen when the water finally got hot

I booked the stay on the same day and was far away. I couldn’t find any information about the latest checking, which was why I booked it. After I had paid (non refundable). I had to be there before 21.00 or my reservation would be cancelled. So I had to skip my dinner and rush to the hotel. There was no receptionist, so I had to check myself in and out. We communicated over what’s app, only in Japanese I had to wait a couple of hours to use the onsen. When it was finally my turn I used 30 minutes to get the bath hot enough We were allowed to be in there for max. 40 minutes You had to pay for everything; using the onsen, ropes, towels, getting rid of your trash There was prices everywhere on the walls The garden/ view was not super nice I think it has once been a very nice place, but due to stupid tourists there has to be a lot of rules and payments. It didn’t feel like the Japanese experience I was looking for
