Nichinan Hotel Guide - Obi Castle Remains hotels in Nichinan, Japan.

"Overall I was impressed. A nice hotel overlooking the beach and ocean. The room was nice, although a little dated. It looked like a really nice hotel from the ‘80s, which in a way gave it some charm. My only complaint was the baggage handler who was there to great is outside. He didn’t listen to us when we told him not to take our bags. My wife had to tell him several times to leave them, but he wouldn’t listen. I understand why this service is needed, however, some people (like us) would rather deal with our stuff ourselves. This part of the experience wasn’t enjoyable to and an overall pleasant stay. "

"It’s actually one of the most ridiculously overpriced onsen hotel I have ever been. We travel around Japan and have been living in many similar styled ryokans and rarely run into such disappointments. The hotel obviously has dinner option. But neither Expedia nor the hotel provide proper communication for such option. ( Just for comparison, for other hotels that are over 100,000 Yen / night, we always get email communications from the hotels about potential options pre arrival dates). We arrived at the hotel and then being told that we have no dinner because we didn’t choose it. I mean…I need to know about the options first before I can choose it right ? just one email about dinner options is highly appreciated especially considering the prices that we are paying. Also, there is absolutely nothing in the room fridge. The last hotel we stayed before this one provides 17 types of complimentary drinks… so you can tell the differences. And the so called onsen is basically just a bathtub in the yard. Hotel recommended us to a nearby sushi place for dinner and it’s nasty. The sushi maker took in cash bills by bare hands and went back to make sushi for us without even washing his hands. I would probably pay 1/3 or 1/2 of the prices for this place. It’s not a bad place. But it’s definitely not worth the price. 200USD/night max for the quality of the facilities and services. It’s awful that we paid close to 700 USD/ night for this. Don’t go"

"Review as an English foreigner. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. I arrived in the evening and the staff was not there and would not respond to my messages. Thankfully, a group of older Japanese men were there and helped me get in, choose a bed and get set up for the night. They were great and led to a great Hostel culture. Comfy bed and clean. I would recommend, but make sure you check in early or I doubt the hostel owner will be of much help, unfortunately. Though I may have just been unlucky."

"Presents as very new. The ocean side view is very pleasant, which you pay more for, as opposed the road side which is pretty average. Very nice common areas and staff are great. "
