Hotels near Markis shizuoka in Shizuoka City

My first time in Shizuoka Prefecture, and I spent the first night at the Nihondaira Hotel. Walking into the lobby, there's a huge glass curtain wall directly ahead. If the weather is clear and visibility is good, you can see Mount Fuji in the distance. Even every room faces Mount Fuji. At the foot of the mountain are Shimizu City, home of Chibi Maruko-chan, and Miho no Matsubara. When I arrived at the hotel in the afternoon, it was overcast, and Shimizu City wasn't visible due to heavy fog and humidity. I was really hoping for clear skies the next morning. And my wish truly came true! At 5 AM, a thought flashed through my mind, I woke up, pulled open the curtains, and although the sun hadn't risen yet, a blush appeared in the southeast. Looking straight ahead, in the distant sky, a massive silhouette appeared – that was Mount Fuji. Alright, I'm content. Hahahaha~ Staying at this hotel, you can completely, completely relax. You can lie in your room and zone out, or stroll on the huge lawn in front of the hotel, watching the shimmering lights of Shimizu City at night. The booking price included dinner and breakfast. A bit pricey, but well worth it. Dinner was a French set menu (Menu in pic 7). For an additional 1600 yen, I upgraded to Japanese-produced Wagyu beef, which I highly recommend. It was grilled perfectly, locking in the pinkness, and the texture was tender and fresh both inside and out. For breakfast, I recommend choosing the Japanese set meal, as online reviews say the Western breakfast is terrible.

This hotel, being a new build next to the long-established Nakashimaya Grand Hotel, is naturally very new and clean. It's also functional and easy to use, providing a pleasant contrast to the more traditional and understated Nakashimaya. The front desk staff are efficient and professional, yet also warm and welcoming, which is a nice touch. The front desk is on the top floor and the exit is on the ground floor, offering convenient and unrestricted access. For breakfast, guests share the underground restaurant with Nakashimaya, and the menu is extensive, featuring local静岡 specialties like black hanpen and wasabi pickles.

I really liked the minimalist decor; it's better than a hostel since they're individual pods rather than bunk beds. You can only open your luggage on the bed. There's no lock on the door, but there's a locker to secure your belongings. It's quite close to the station, the bed was very comfortable, and the cleanliness was excellent—no dust in the corners. You have to change shoes right at the entrance of the building, where there's a shoe cabinet. It felt a bit warm at first, but then it was fine.

The location is excellent, very close to Shimizu Station, and right next to the Shimizu Ginza shopping street. It's about a 15-minute walk to Shimizu Port. The room was bigger than I expected, and the bathroom and toilet were separate. You can hear the train at night, but it wasn't too bothersome. The front desk staff spoke very good English.

The room facilities are complete, and the hygiene is very good. The service attitude is excellent. It's a five-minute walk from the JR station, making it very convenient to get to Miho no Matsubara and Nihondaira. The port has the Chibi Maruko-chan Land museum and Shimizu Fish Market. There's also a ferry terminal at the port with boats to Toi, Izu. This is a transit hotel with great value for money.

The hotel's location was very convenient and close to the train ststion.. there are also many restaurants and coffee shops near by that it was hard to choose one. The hotel was clean and the people at the reception were nice and very helpful. The room was spacious compared to the standard Japanese hotels I've been to. I specially loved the shower preasure after a long day's of walking and commuting. The room was quiet and perfect to rest. I will stay again in this hotel next one I visit Shizuoka.

There are only self check in if you come in after 10pm. Instructions were not correct and self check in machine didn't work. There were no phone in the hotel so I have to spend my long distance dial and stood there 30 mins to figure out the check in. Filed a complaint later on and hotel refused to refund. But trip.com was nice enough to send back a reasonable amount of money to compensate my long distance call. Only if you speak Japanese and have a local phone and check in at day time, otherwise not recommended.

It seemed to be the day of a fireworks display and was very popular that day. Check-in was done in one part of the coffee shop. We apologize when it is crowded as the general public also enjoys tea. The rooms have air conditioning, but the beds do not, so it feels very hot and difficult to stay there. There are no towels or toothbrushes. You need to bring your own. Earplugs were available at the washbasin. There is only one shower and one toilet, so you have to be patient when others are using them. I woke up in the middle of the night when someone came home and took a shower because of the noise. You have to cross a big road from the station, so it is better to go out with plenty of time to spare.

The location is extremely convenient, with all essential amenities nearby. It's super close to the station. For any anime/manga fan, this place is a total delight, especially being just a six-minute walk from Surugaya! Absolutely loved it! I'll definitely choose this hotel again on my next visit to Shizuoka.

Free unlimited alcohol at bar after 6 pm is totally beyond expectation. Room is quite big, with large size bathtub and separated toilet. Very quiet from my experience. The room I stayed does not have a window, not sure if it’s the common case. But I’m ok with that. The location should be considered as the major concern. It’s right beside the interchange of highway, so can be ideal for self-driving trips. However, for travelers by public transportation, you’ll have to use the local bus service, it can take quite a while to figure out how.(For anyone who may read this comment: if you depart from Shizuoka JR station, look for bus No.71 or No.27, and get off at Shizuoka IC stop , which is the closest stop from hotel) Generally I do enjoy the stay, and the nearby region has a lot of restaurants as well as convenient stores, will consider to come back if drive by next time.
