Hotel di Shimohei District

釜石駅のとなりにあるホテル。まだ築5年くらい。釜石の中心部は川をはさんだ反対側なので、中心部からは遠い。が、駅直結なので列車利用で遅い到着や早い出発なら便利。 シングルルームはごく普通のビジホ仕様。窓の外は工場と駅駐車場だったが、反対側なら鉄道ビューのはず。予約時に指定すれば線路側を割り当ててくれるだろう。 朝食は6時半から。和定食での提供。 まあこんなものかな。地域性は皆無でしたね。 大浴場があるはずなのだが、訪問時少々ケガをしていて腕をあげる動作が不自由だったので利用しなかった。残念。

Comfortable elegant Japanese-style inn just opened in 2010.Free LAN access is available in every room. Bathrobes can be used during your stay. (Please consult the front desk for details). Facilities include a lounge. The hotel has 5 rooms.Convenient transportation, good service, complete facilities, clean and comfortable environment, giving you the best service and the most comfortable accommodation.

GoToトラベルキャンペーン対象で、夫婦でセミダブル朝食付きで5,200円と驚きの価格でした。場所が繁華街からかなり離れているので、車での旅行者でなければかなり不便。近くにコンビニすらないので、夕食もホテルのブッフェを利用しました。感染対策が行き届いており、飲食会場の入り口にはアルコール消毒液、使い捨ての手袋、そして簡易なマスクまで用意されていました。セミダブルで夫婦二人は正直狭かったです。客室にバスルームがなくて１階の温泉を利用。温泉は女湯は入室前にフロントへカードキーを渡すと、女湯用のキーを渡されます。女湯の向かいが男湯なのでセキュリティも万全と感じました。

釜石市街地にある一般的なビジネスホテルの一つです。他にもいくつかビジネスホテルがあり、それらと比較すると釜石駅からやや距離があるものの、それでも釜石駅から徒歩15分程度です。市街地のメイン通り沿いにあるため分かりやすいのも特徴的です。 各部屋の構成や広さ、清潔さの維持、スタッフの対応については標準的なビジネスホテルと同等です。但し、宿泊者に対し夜間の指定時間限定で無料で『釜石ラーメン』が振舞われるサービスがありますが、このサービスの利用は全くお勧めできません。このサービスを利用する宿泊者が多いだけでなく、そのサービスを担当する（調理・配膳の）スタッフが（見た限り）1～2人のみで、1階にあるレストランに入るのに待つだけでなく、着席しても配膳されるまでに30分以上かかることがあります。それならばホテル周辺のレストランや居酒屋を利用することをお勧めします。 It's one of the most typical business hotels in downtown Kamaishi. There are several other business hotels, and although they are a little further away from Kamaishi Station compared to those hotels, it's still only a 15-minute walk from Kamaishi Station. It's also easy to find as it's located along the main street in the city center. The configuration and size of each room, the maintenance of cleanliness, and the responsiveness of the staff are on par with standard business hotels. However, the hotel offers a free ”Kamaishi Ramen” service to its guests for a limited time during the night, but I do not recommend the use of this service at all. Not only are there many guests using this service, but there are only one or two staff members (as far as I could see) in charge of the service (cooking and serving). Moreover, not only do you have to wait to enter the restaurant on the first floor, but it can take more than 30 minutes before your dish is served even after you are seated. If that is the case, I would recommend using one of the restaurants or taverns in the vicinity of the hotel.

The location is beautiful and the views from the car park assured us we had chosen well. Check in was helpful and all facilities were fully explained at this time, allowing us to book our dining time. The room was comfortable and traditional; the view, amazing! With an afternoon of sunshine, time was taken to enjoy the view in a temperature controlled setting. There was a beautiful tea set and tea provided along with some complementary snacks and water. The toiletries provided were lovely and I shall certainly be looking to purchase these for my home. Dinner was a Chinese style buffet, with an excellent selection of dishes. Barbecues for the table and delicious sashimi and hand prepared sushi. Soups, stews, salad and more! To follow was an assortment of cakes and ice creams. Staff were very helpful and polite and the food was filling and delicious. We then retired to the hotel bar where we were again greeted by a lovely member of staff. Upon return to our room, futons had been prepared and the room made ready for sleep. These were surprisingly comfortable. Breakfast was also delicious with a huge array of dishes to choose from. Check out was simple and staff were helpful and polite. I will definitely be returning! I
