車で10分走れば温泉や飲食店にアクセスできますが、 バス等はほぼ無い為何かしらの移動手段が必須です。 早朝の海の景色は絶景で宿泊費もリーズナブルな為 景色を楽しみながら宿泊したい人にはおすすめです。

Un hotel basic dove non manca nulla, c’è tutto! La camera con vista sul mare era spaziosa. Ci sono spazi comuni dove mangiare e caffè sempre disponibile. Nei dintorni ci sono buonissimi ristoranti e 2 kombini. Molto consigliato!!! Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo!

I enjoyed my stay. Having access to a kitchen was great, the staff were friendly (even offered me some soba noodles one morning) and the sea view from my window was great. Room was clean, bed was comfortable, as was the chair I was sitting in to work for a bit. There are stairs in this property (no lift) so it may not work for everyone.

共同のキッチン、コインランドリー、各階に電子レンジがある(今回は４泊のため使用せず)ので、長期滞在に向いていると思う。無料の駐車場がありありがたい。畳にツインベッドの部屋だったので、ゴロゴロ出来て良かった。入館時に靴を脱ぐ必要がある。エレベーターが無いので、スーツケースを軽くしていないと少し辛いかも。

C'est vraiment un hôtel minimaliste : la chambre est minuscule, la salle de bains microscopique, l'équipement réduit à la plus simple expression. Vraiment cher pour ce que c'est.

You need a car when you stay at this property. The wife and husband owners are so nice and helpful to show the kitchen. There is a professional kitchen all equipped that guests can use until 10pm. The view from my room was seaside and wonderful

My partner and I planned on camping and the campsites had closed for the season, so we went looking for options. This hotel was great! We ended up staying an additional night here, and plan to incorporate it into trips to the area in the future. The family that ran the hotel were wonderful and patient with the language barrier at times. We hope to stay again!

The owner lady and her are delightful. The room is facing the sea which is creating dramatic atmosphere. Just the stairs are a bit hard to carry luggage’s, but the owner’s son gave us big help to carry the cases for us. Overall fantastic experience to stay in Shari.
