Amazing stay - especially the cave onsen and the views on top of the mountains; the retro classical video games next to the cafeteria also bring back lots of memories

I loved it!
Either the car or ferry were prompt in picking people up. The hotel is beautiful, and the food was delicious. I loved going to dinner in my slides and yukata. Service and amenities were top notch, the onsen was a once in a lifetime experience. The town itself is charming.

2 nights at Hotel Urashima
Our stay at the hotel was just ok. The hotel is from 1957 and is an aging relic of what I am sure was a once glorious hotel. Much of the hotel appeared to be shut down to guests and falling into a bit of disrepair in places. The lobby was supposedly renovated recently and a Lawsons general store has been added which is nice. The traditional Japanese room was nice and clean in comparison to some of the more common areas of the hotel, much of the furnishings appear to be original many of which are falling apart 2 of the 3 chairs i sat in literally came apart and needed to be pieced back together. The traditional mats for sleeping are not enough padding if you have a bad back you will want to have them triple stacked at minimum. The windows needed cleaned everywhere we went. The pop up shops are cute but limited the kids arcade was adorable and the game tables were a cute addition. The two main attractions 1- the Onsen I hear was great from my travel mates but I did not partake - Its traditional Japanese so take notice you may only enter nude. I feel they could make one onsen swimsuit optional since they have several just my opinion. 2 - the space elevator was not in service that i saw the two days we were there which was a disappointment since I had read that the views were spectacular. Use the elevator to see the sunrise which is spectacular but wear bug spray! the buffet had huge variety but it expensive! Overall the stay was fine would love to come back after renovations

This hotel was amazing. A sprawling property built into the side of a mountain. So many onsen. The cave onsen were spectacular. There were many restaurants, convenience store, shops and an arcade.

For those who are looking to luxuriate in the onsens of the Kii península… This is a place not to be missed. The cave onsens, especially, were both gorgeous and healing… The other ones perhaps a bit rundown, but still quite a treat. The staff were great (and multi-lingual) and my room was squeaky clean. Highly recommend

Last year I tried their wonderful onsen that faces the sea. It was fantastic. When I returned to Japan, I made reservations at this hotel and upgraded to a room that had an ocean view. It was fantastic. The room included a half board which is breakfast and dinner. Staff are helpful. The room was very clean and quiet.

Mixed feelings on this hotel. Paid for a nice room that was non smoking but the room was constantly filled with smoke air which was coming from a vent in the ceiling. The smoke was so bad that I felt sick most of the night and even 24 hours later throat hurts. The hotel was no very accommodating or apologetic. No discount. No concessions. I did not sleep but maybe 4 hours first night. Was a real hassle and disrupted a time where I had meant to sleep and relax. Had to pack my stuff up and move but Also sit in the smoke filled room for 2 hours waiting for other room. Love hot springs but the smoke room was not ok. Unhappy they didn’t offer any discount. Be cautions when booking here. It’s a gamble.

Big hotel with many rooms. Huge breakfast and dinner. The hotel standard was a bit old, but the main attraction were the different onsen. There's a good view from above the hotel, but most of it was under renovation. The same with the escalator.
