Reviews and Ratings
My stay at Shima Grand Hotel was pretty great, with easy access to the luxurious spa at Ryokan Shima-Tamura just a short walk away. The atmosphere was perfect for a relaxing getaway, although I felt the hotel aimed for a more standard vibe that didn't entirely capture the charm of traditional ryokans. Overall, I enjoyed the experience, especially as a more modern option compared to typical onsen stays.
I had a wonderful stay at Shima Grand Hotel. the opportunity to visit the onsen at the nearby Ryokan Shima-Tamura was a huge plus. The rooms were comfortable and provided a modern touch. The dining options, especially the seafood, were great, but I did find the room service a bit slow at times.
I had a good stay at Shima Grand Hotel, where I enjoyed its accessibility to a fantastic spa nearby, although the hotel itself had a more standard atmosphere than I'd initially hoped for. The staff were unfailingly friendly, and the location was convenient for exploring Shima. However, the dining options felt rather limited during my visit.
My stay at Shima Grand Hotel was pretty good overall! The spa experience was a highlight, though I found the location to be slightly busy at times. It's nice to have access to the fantastic onsen at Ryokan Shima-Tamura just a quick walk away, making it worth the price I paid.
I had a fantastic stay at Shima Grand Hotel! The spa experience at the nearby Ryokan Shima-Tamura was the highlight, but I found that the room could use some modernization. I appreciated the reasonable pricing despite its premium services like the relaxing Onsen.
