The location is quite far from Atami station and on the way to go is up and down hill.

Nice view of private hotspring at the roof top of hotel.

Great place if you are looking for a private onsen

Stayed in January 2024

There was a balcony, but no chairs to take outside to sit on. The futon was on the thinner side. When you’re lying down on the futon, the sound of footsteps on your floor is easily transmitted. No coffee or tea in the room.

Two wonderful rotemburos on the roof that you can have all to yourself. Good buffet breakfast. Quite spacious, with a very big refrigerator and a microwave.

Need to figure out how to heat the rooms properly during the evenings

The onsen bath system is very efficient to use. The staff is quite thorough at check in and familiar with booking.com bookings

The pathway to get to the place is hidden behind backroads and didn't help it was on a steep hill, going to the closest convenience store or anywhere with food felt far

Staff were friendly, the optional breakfast was nice, the room is an actual apartment, though I opted for traditional so it was bare but it had the necessities. The highlight was the private hotsprings, they were popular as it was first come first serve basis even at 6am opening

The uphill road to the train station.

Breakfast was good, with different varieties. Onsen at various floor was good too, especially the roof top onsen which has the sea view, too bad it was cloudy at sunset during my stay there.

Rooftop spa was beautiful but dirty Tatami was not too comfortable but I have never slept on one before so I am not used to it!

Good location easy walk from station and beach Great breakfast Friendly staff

We were not experienced with futon beds, so we found them very uncomfortable. Even we used two futons for one person (one on top the other), they were very hard and it was very uncomfortable to sleep (practically) on the floor. The so called "tatami" were in fact plastic flooring, nothing to do with the real tatami, so it is nothing better than the wooden flooring of the corridor. We did not like that the different private baths (3 types) were situated on different floors and in order to use one after the other one should dress and move on different floors. The pictures on the site were misleading about size and view especially for the semi open air bath on the 1st floor.

We liked the location close to the beach, the politeness and availability of the staff and the fact that there were enough explanations in English. We liked the affordable price for the room and the small kitchenette.

No slope for wheelchair, elevator door closed too fast. The futon beds smells weird like smoke.

The breakfast was great and also the private onsen. The kids enjoyed a lot in the bubble bath. I like it because it's so close to the beach.

It was a bit tricky getting to the location since it was up on a hill, so be careful with your luggage!

The hotel was a hidden gem - a lovely private onsen, kind staff, and a comfortable room to fit 3 travellers. They provided slippers and yukatas when using the onsens.

Around the hotel was too hilly and a lot of stairs.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. It was raining when we got there and they let us borrow umbrellas during stay. Room was big and kitchen was well equipped, I would recommend for family vacation. We had good relaxation in the private hot spring bath.

Large room with full kitchen, separate but open plan living and bedroom area. 2 double beds and an semi - open air hot spring bath overlooking the bay. Good price for the size and location. 10min walk uphill from the station. 10min walk downhill to Ginza St Shopping/eating and the Waterfront.

Outside entrance and registration counter made me wonder but the hotel proved much better than expected

Staff was very good Breakfast was substantive; enjoyed the variety and the rice was exceptional Baths were very private and relaxing. Staff suggested Luke warm bath instead of hot bath and very much appreciated

I don’t like the way the hotel’s entrance isn’t obvious and that it hotel’s name on the entrance board wasn’t written in English. I just walked past it as a non-Japanese reader. The way to the reception was weird and a little confusing too. There were just too many corners but once you get used to it it’s easier to remember. During breakfast, they would place your room numbers on the tables to determine where you sit which is just weird. As a guest, I would like to sit at whichever table I want to. As I traveled alone this time I didn’t want any of my other guests from other rooms to realize my room number too when coming down to eat breakfast it’s just awkward. The shower head in my room could use maintenance as the water was leaking when I turned on the water. The room was okay but in some areas, it’s still dusty and it gives this sense of old mess which I’m not against but it could’ve provided this sense of comfort. It was just bare. The body towel was so thin and short too they could make the quality a bit higher. Welcome drink water was not provided at least two bottles won’t do any harm.

I like this hotel for the location near the beach. The staff’s service was good. The breakfast buffet was decent.

Breakfast

Stayed in September 2023

...to start with, the room had clearly seen better days; the walls had multiple marks and blemishes, and flooring and mats visible damages on multiple spots, and there was a hint of a smell of something mouldy. The hot water also suddenly disappeared whilst taking a shower. However, the greatest disappointment was the rooftop onsen, which used to be the main selling point of Grandview Atami – back before the pandemic, it was a humble but cosy communal (but sex-separated) open-air onsen on the 11th floor (and the hotel is already situated on a hill), providing you with one of the best views of Atami whilst bathing. It also felt very safe to use, but not anymore. The old communal onsen has been replaced with two private onsens, each clearly inferior (and much shallower), but that is before you notice that there THERE IS A HUGE OPENING AT THE END OF THE BATH WHICH IS LITERALLY AT THE EDGE OF THE ROOFTOP, with no safety nets or anything preventing you from falling down 11+ floors to a certain death if you just lean a bit too much over the edge. Nothing will catch you. Try to relax. I tried, and I have no fear of heights, but that was too much. Never again.

The room you get is quite big, more than enough to store multiple large suitcases (or multiple futons if having several occupants), with cooking facilities, and a traditional Japanese bathroom with separate toilet. The hotel is now also accepting credit card payments, which it did not use to. I visited once before the pandemic, and quite enjoyed my stay - not the best onsen hotel, but very decent for the price at the time. However, since then, things have changed...

Cancellations are not allowed. Breakfast is only served at 7 or 8, and if you’re checking in late you will not get to choose. If you want to grill your own fish on a small pot stove, 45 minutes for breakfast are barely enough. The building is old, the entrance/front a little hard to find. The location seems convenient (10 mins from the station) but the walk uphill back to the station is so steep anyone with suitcases is better off calling a taxi. I want to say the room was overall clean, but there was some hair on the spare futon in the closet. No spare linens or pillow cases. Note: you have to set your own futon! Even though my stay was cheap, I am unsure of the cost/performance. Do not look for comfort here, only convenience. If you want to be independent and use the kitchenette this may be the place for you.

A funny little QR code system updated in real time tells you whether the private baths are available - no reservation required. (I cannot speak to the quality of the baths because it was raining and the indoor baths were always full, so I didn’t get to use them.) Staff is polite but does not speak any English. However, English maps of the building etc. are provided at the front.

Better to have towels changed and new bottled water if we stay more than one night

Facilities in the room and different types of hot springs available

The private open-air ocean-view onsen is unique and in itself deserves to come to the Grandview Atami hotel! The other aspects are as excellent: the room is in fact an apartment (a space of 8 tatamis, completed with a small kitchen with a fridge and a micro-wave oven, and a bathroom, perfectly clean, quiet and comfortable, with a direct access from the street: it feels like living in Japan. The attendants are attentionate. The hotel is located right in the center of Atami, at 5 minutes walk from the station and 5 minutes from the beach. An ideal place for a stay in Atami.
