Shimonoseki Station West Washington Hotel Plaza

“Immaculate, great service, and fabulous breakfast!”

My family and I always stay here when we head to Shimonoseki (my hometown). I first found out about this hotel in March 2005 because it was one of the few hotels in town with non-smoking rooms! The place is immaculate and the service is 5-star. I became such a regular customer that at one time, the manager held on to some of my overflow packages until I returned the next time. For us, what was impressive was their impeccable cleanliness over time and always warm hospitality no matter when you showed up at their doorsteps (we often got there after midnight). And after a good night's sleep on their special barley pillow, the breakfast is fabulous no matter which style (Japanese or Western)! The price was unbeatable...we had gotten an online special of less than $50/single room! We definitely plan to go back again.

What surprised me was that they did not ask for an outrageous room rate when they probably could. There was another hotel, of at least one star less, asking for more than double of what I had paid. Staff at the front desk is helpful and speaks reasonably good English and they provide a free breakfast though pretty simple with rolls, egg, juice, soup and coffee only. And of course the location is good for it is very close to the JR station.

Hotel is about 5 minutes’ walk from JR Shimonoseki station and located in a quiet neighbourhood. Lobby is a little dated. Front desk staff managed with a little English and was helpful. Hotel offers free wifi but you have to use their wireless router to get the wifi connection. The front desk staff will hand this to you when you check in. Room is typical Japanese hotel, clean, compact and comfortable. For your meals, just walk over to the JR station where there are many options. There is also a tourist information centre and supermarket at the JR station. Buses to the Karato seafood market is also located at the JR station. To visit the Karato Seafood Market, get off at Kaikyokan-mae about 10 minutes bus ride from JR station. You can have breakfast there, lots of fresh sashimi, fugu fish at very reasonable prices.
