Great Value for Money

I was pleasantly surprised by the room features at Smile Hotel Shimonoseki. While the room itself was a bit compact for two, it was clean and had everything necessary for a comfortable stay. For the price, it was surprisingly good value, and I would definitely consider returning!

Clean but Needs Updates

The bathroom in my room was clean, but you could tell it was quite old. Some updates would make a big difference, especially regarding the shower curtain. Nonetheless, it was functional, and I appreciated the cleanliness.

Basic Entertainment Options

The media options were quite limited, as the TV was only accessible through a pay service. I missed having direct connections like HDMI or USB ports for my devices, so that was a minor disappointment. However, the overall experience compensated for it.

Breakfast Included!

What I loved most was the breakfast that came included with our stay. It was a wonderful start to the day, and the dining area provided a cozy atmosphere. The price I paid made this a fantastic perk that I truly appreciated.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, enjoying the clean and comfortable rooms and a stunning view from my window. The location is superb, making it easy to explore the area. However, I found the dining options to be somewhat limited during breakfast, which was a bit of a letdown. Overall, it provides good value for money, but there’s room for improvement in a few areas.

This hotel is situated in a lovely spot with stunning ocean views, making it perfect for anyone who loves being close to the water. The rooms were spacious and nicely modern, but I found that they could use a little more attention to detail in cleanliness. I enjoyed the breakfast options, but I wished they had a wider variety. The pool area was relaxing, but it could get a bit crowded during peak hours. Overall, it's a good value for the price we paid, despite a few minor issues.
