Overall lovely stay
The hotel has a nice view of the sea and room is spacious and clean. However the hotel staff could be better trained in some basic English to advise on key tourist spots and access advice.

Amazing ocean view, but not very clean!
Stayed here for one night. Our room was the western style with an ocean view. The view was amazing. The inside of the room seemed a little outdated though; and there was a strong smell to it. For that reason alone, I wouldn’t stay here again. It could just be my room though. And during my breakfast, I witnessed, with my own eyes, a staff member picked up an orange colored dessert item that had fallen off a serving plate, off the counter, AND PUT IT BACK ON THE SERVING PLATE! Unbelievable!

Went there for their special onsen
Hotel was big, room was spacious but dated. Stayed there for its onsen specialty as they used big plum buckets for spa purpose. There were only 2 restaurants in the nearby Fisherman's Wharf - Italian and Japanese. We chose the Japanese and had set menu because there was not much choice. Food was standard and portion was good enough for us.

Old onsen hotel overlooking the sea
Shirahama is a great seaside onsen town. This hotel is placed on a cliff overlooking the sea. Great view on the western side. The best thing is the outside rotenburo (onsen) which are giant barrels overlooking the sea. I think there's also steps down to a sea pool/onsen but that was closed. The only very slightly negative side is that the hotel is very old, and the carpeting and fixtures in the rooms are really Really worn out. It wasn't really a problem, and it wasn't dirty, but just know what to expect.

Comment
The spa service is not free for single or family travelers. The dishes are delicious. There are some bad smell inside the toilet of guest room. The sea view of the hot spring is very good and beautiful.

Near to Shirahama beach
Though the hotel is old, it is large and clean, easily accessible by local bus (the bus stop is just outside the entrance). As the hotel is just next to seashore, you can have nice seaview from the window. The breakfast buffet and Japanese full dinner set are very good, the sashimi and hotpot are very delicious. At night, you can go to onsen at the basement, one indoor pool and a few outside onsen (using the big wine barrels as bath tubes).

Fantastic ocean views with a cultural challenge.
We arrived one hour late for the last sitting for dinner on the first night but we were welcomed and served as if on time. The hotel looked somewhat tired on first view, and it is. If you want four star, book somewhere else. But if you want a great experience, this is a great place to stay. We were extremely well looked after by Kato, a competent English speaking long term employee. A delightful man with a great sense of humour. Being primarily a holiday spot for Japanese, foreigners are less well catered for than other tourist spots, and the 12 course meal we had on the first night was a fantastic introduction to a traditional Japanese feast. If you are prepared for the challenge and Kato is there to explain what you are eating, it is a great cultural experience. All the staff were friendly and helpful and the onsen (hot spring) baths on the hotel premises are varied and expansive for the men but less so for the women. The hotel encourage a relaxed attitude of their patrons, even encouraging the use of the Japanese bathrobe used for the onsen for use around the hotel. A white sandy beach was a short walk from the hotel.

Nice hotel with great ocean view
I had an enjoyable stay at Hotel Seamore. I reserved a room that has beautiful ocean view with both tatami and western style. The room did not disappoint me at all, although the first impression of the hotel was a bit rundown on the outside. We took the shuttle from JR station to the hotel, the staff were very helpful and they speak good English, and Chinese. There is also a one time morning shuttle to couples places including Tore tore Market, and JR Station, which we made good use of. Of course, I cannot mention how beautiful the baths were (especially the outdoor ones).

部屋前の廊下が広々としていて、非常に気持ちよかったです。大浴場や2階の遊び場も広くて大満足です。ここまで広々とした造りのホテルは初めてです。 部屋のトイレや洗面台は古さを感じさせる造りになっていましたが、改装しているので見た目はきれいでした。 食事はバイキングでしたが、ご飯釜が置いてある台が高くて、とりにくかったのは気になりました。
