Prince Smart Inn Atami

We had a great stay at Prince Smart Atami Inn. Location: Great location. Very close to the Atami station (walking distance) and very easy to locate if arriving by car Parking: Please do not park at the Times parking, which is in one side of the hotel. The actual parking lot for the hotel is on the other side of the building with their logo at the front. If unsure, please ask the staffs members. They were very willing to direct us to the right spot. Parking does close at 10pm as it is a car stacking system and the concierge is only there till 10pm. It does cost 1000yen, but cheaper than surrounding carparks. Staffs: Friendly and polite. Easy check in via the machine, staff is there to help if needed. We were also given 2 bottles of water upon arrival. Common area: Huge and modern. Presented in a cleanly matter Room: It's very spacious and clean. There's plenty spaces to hang clothes and you can easily open 2 large luggages in the room. Bed is very comfy and it comes with a smart TV. TV also shows other information about the hotel, including real life washing machine availability and washing time. Which makes it easy for guest to know, rather than going back and forth from room. Bathroom: was clean and has a bath tub. Free toiletries, pyjamas etc. are provided for free at the ground floor. Breakfast: was simple, but good enough for the price we paid. Facilities: There's microwave at the second floor, ironing area, venting machine and washing machine available. You can also store your luggages for free at first floor. Highly recommend!

Off top, we loved the location!! It's only a hop skip and a step away from the train station! There is a police station & kobini right at the corner. It's a bit away from the water front in Atami on foot. But we took an affordable short cab ride to the edge of the bay & made our way up to the beautiful Atami Castle on the hill. The taxi driver gave us some awesome recommendations for dinner spots etc. There is also the illusions museum & the adult art museum on the hill/castle. The rooms were a good size, we got two comfy twin beds which was perfect for our travel arrangements. The breakfast was simple an interesting for our taste, nonetheless we glady accepted it every morning and ate in the cool little lounge on the lobby floor. [I grabbed some extra goodies from across the street at the kobini for breakfast] There is also a few kool osen/bathhouses near by. The Onsen at the end of the beach is superb to say the least 🌟

Free breakfast was tasty, the hotel was extremely clean and new. There were lots of useful facilities. The hotel is also stationed right next to the train station and a lovely shopping street, and it's only a short distance away from the Atami sun beach.

Being close to the station, it was easy to get. Atami is too hilly. The room was quite small, but comfy. Breakfast was kind of unconventional, even for a Japanese, but did it's job. Shopping areas are close by. No need for any car.

Staff is helpful and nice. They can communicate adequately in English but they try hard to be responsive.
