Hotel Castle Inn Ise Meotoiwa

The hotel is next to the beach, 300m from the wedded rocks attraction.The view is very nice from the upper floors. It features public and at no extra charge bookable private bathing facilities, onsen style but not spring water. It has 2 restaurants which offer a solid breakfast, 3itger Japanese or Western style. The rooms are old but well maintained, so they have some retro charm. They have a big parking with EV charging stations!

Breakfast was surprisingly good. Although the facilities need some more maintenance, service in the public space is not old. There were welcome drinks on the 1st floor, and a manga library on the 2nd floor. I didn't have enough time to read the manga, but it was organized neatly and contained both old and new titles. Also, the amenity station was well-stocked. There was lotion, headbands, toothbrushes, shaving cream, and even mouthwash, which most hotels don't provide.

Corner room assigned on 8th floor was fantastic that had both views of the sea and mountain ! Room was spacious, clean, comfortable for group of up to 4 max. Table with 2 chairs make it easy to relax and have drinks and food. There was even a large sofa next to large window facing the sea which also has a leader to sit on to just view and enjoy the seaview. Lots of power outlets for charging devices. Pine tree lined beach just in front of hotel was beautiful.

The experience is more than enough for how much we paid. All facilities as an accommodation were fine and it was good that you can book a private bath for free. Also there are manga for free too. The restaurants were tasty as well.

Good location right next to the beach in a quiet neighborhood. A few minutes walk from the wedded rocks. Nice big private baths you can reserve for 45 minutes. They are screened in for privacy, but there is fresh cool air coming in through the screen so it’s sort of like a rotemburo in that the room doesn’t get so steamy and overheated. Nice view out the window (partial ocean view). The first floor has two microwaves you can freely use as well as free coffee and tea. There is a Family Mart a couple minutes walk away as well as a Lawson with an ATM next to the train station. Staff were friendly and helpful, although not much English is spoken. Larger room than average business hotel.
