Hotels near Toba Fossil Discovery Site, Toba

3月8日に宿泊しました。7階757号室です。毎年伊勢参りに行くのですが、その際にいつも宿泊施設選定に困っていました。「いまいちだったね～」とか「酷かったね～」という感想しか出ない宿が多かったからです。特に前年の宿（前年度投稿参照）はとんでもない宿でした。そのとんでもない宿よりトリップアドバイザー上でのランキングが下である戸田家さん･･････こういうこともあり、最初は期待していなかったのですが、今回の宿泊でその自分の考えを訂正させられました。結論から言えば「素晴らしい宿」です。私の評価の基準は「人（の動き）」です。そこで働いていらっしゃる方の立ち居振る舞いが良ければ、宿は必然的に内的にも外的にも良くなります。こちらの宿のスタッフの方々は本当に素晴らしかったです。したがってよく見ると、建物や部屋の造りは古くても、手入れが行き届いているのがよく分かります。またスタッフの皆さんの努力で古さを魅力に変えようという努力の跡も見受けられます。もちろん新しいことを取り入れてカスタマーを喜ばせようという点もあります。特に食事場所での御料理の提供の仕方や料理内容にそれが見受けられました。あえて、それでもマイナス点を指摘すれば、温泉へのアクセス路に風情がない点と露天風呂の足場が本当に滑りやすいので、特に高齢者は気を付けないと危ないと感じた点です。いずれにせよ、私の毎年の伊勢詣での宿泊経験から言えば、戸田家さんは堂々1位です。来年も宿泊予定です。

Just before GW, I stayed as a refreshment when I visited Ise Jingu shrine. I had ISE tea and cheese cake hospitality after checking in at the front desk, but this cheese cake was very delicious. The room is modern Japanese. The view is outstanding with the sea from the window. It was a nice room. Dinner was a Japanese course (with spiny lobster and abalone) in a private room of a restaurant called Shiraishi, but the volume was just right and everything was delicious. Also, the male staff who were in charge at this dinner was very friendly and I was able to spend a satisfying time. Breakfast is also Japanese, but it was very delicious and I was able to relax. The hot spring bath was also beautiful and good. I think the customer service of the hotel staff 々 (both male staff and female staff 々) is outstanding. Also, I would like to stay when visiting Ise Jingu shrine.

The location is close considering the distance from the station, but I think it's okay for a moment because there is no sidewalk on the way. But I arrived unexpectedly soon when I walked along the track. The children were very happy with the wifi. It was good because there was no connection in the hotel or the speed was very slow even if it was connected. I stayed at a night stay without meals, but the nearby shops were delicious and the price was reasonable and the answer was great. The hot spring of the hotel is pleasant, it seems to be a hot spring, or it is a skin touch that I think is different at the moment I entered, and I stayed here for a night and relaxed in the hot spring It was Taisho that the meal was served in a local delicious shop It was a solution.

Let me start by saying that the staff, particularly in the restaurant, had good English and we had no problems communicating generally, which I know has been mentioned in other reviews. We stayed in an Ocean Suite room for our engagement weekend, the view was amazing! Watching the sun rise over the sea was beautiful and the panorama of the islands and sea was so peaceful. The room was plush and the furniture felt relatively new. The bathrobes and pyjamas provided by the hotel during our stay were very comfortable, though something of a shame to not be able to go from room to onsen without outdoor clothes (other robes are provided at the onsen). I and my partner both have various food allergies or intolerances but the hotel has an exceptionally good way of managing allergies by asking you to submit a form beforehand. As a result of this, we were both able to have full, proper meals with no issues. For the breakfast buffet, we were given a sheet, in English, of all the dishes on service and all allergens. The food was excellent and the wine list was the best I have seen anywhere in Japan. There are regular shuttles from the hotel to station, and the reverse. However, these stop after a certain hour and the hotel is not easily walkable from the station. I am still not really sure how this would normally be done, I assume the hotel will pick you up if asked but we were not sure how to arrange (and originally thought from the map that it would be walkable). Honestly, I am looking forward to going back there - hopefully for an anniversary!

Have loved Toba for many years..and stayed at the Toba Grand many times. Only on 1 occasion was I lucky enough to stay in a Sakura room on the 8th floor…but not so lucky on this my last stay in Toba. The good points: 1.Free shuttle to/from the hotel and the driver handed out wet towels on this occasion 2.Welcome drinks in the lobby 3.A good selection of food for dinner & breakfast 4.The hot spring baths are good. The bad points: 1.The hotel is badly in need of refurbishment in the rooms on 6th & 7th floors/Badly stained & old windows and the room and bathroom/toilet are out of date. 2.The restaurant area is really dirty in certain places and insects can be seen running about!The were too many families with young children here this time and the restaurant was crowded all the time it seemed. 3.The Japanese staff have no English language skills…but the abundance of Nepalese staff at this hotel at present helps a little in that regard. This hotel has a wonderful location…and if you want to look out at the water then it is good…but as mentioned Toba seems to be a neglected area in many respects…and this is certainly true for this hotel at present.

It was very helpful to use the shuttle service to the nearest station and to Parque Espana. I was especially impressed that they took the trouble to come back to pick me up from the nearest station, even though it was fully booked! There was a large public bath, and the breakfast was more delicious and had more items than I expected. There were no convenience stores around the inn, so I went shopping near the station before heading out, but there was a small shop inside the building. I would definitely like to travel there again, especially when I go to Parque Espana.

It was a last minute stay, but it was cheap and the parking was free. They guided me to the parking lot, and it was a trip to visit Ise Shrine. I'd like to use it again next time.

Location was decent - about 8-9 min walk from JR Iseshi station. Hotel lounge area was super. Just refurbished/looks modern and trendy, with a 24/7 coffee and tea bar. Room itself - clean-ish, felt alright, but I get what other reviewers mean when they say it is old. The rooms are clean, very basic but not modern. Wallpaper slightly peeling but they are trying their best to keep up appearances. Bathroom was clean. Reception lady was really earnest and nice. Overall, for the price paid in this area, I have no complaints and would stay again unless I find something better at same value.

This hotel is a hotel where Ise-Shima Summit was held and I wanted to stay when I came to Ise. First of all, check-in can be done individually by sitting in a chair. I think the staff is also very friendly. The hotel itself is old, but the rooms have been renovated so that you don't feel old. I chose a plan with meals because I wanted to try the French food at this hotel. The food was delicious and satisfying! If you stay here, you can use the lounge, so you can drink until 10 pm. I checked in and had sparkling wine before meals! Even after eating, you can make wine and highballs and drink until you are satisfied, so I think the cost performance is good. There are also photos and tables of the Ise-Shima Summit, so it will be a learning experience. I wanted to come with my family again.

Having come to Ise to visit Ise Shrine, while I had to work online, I needed a good internet access and selected this hotel. The building is new and super clean overall. It should have been perfect if the internet access was good, though the location is a bit away from Ise Shrine and the Ise stations. Two reasons why I give just three stars. 1. The most important thing - Internet access! Terrible. Wifi keeps falling, and I need to reset the Wifi on mobile and the laptop. VPN is no way. Zoom didn't work, either. Just pathetic. With the third call with the front desk, I got a router, which never had a Wifi signal and was useless. I ended up bringing out my Rakuten pocket router, and it was able to make my day, whew!  I'm sure the hotel staff would help till I get the comfortable internet access. I tried but lost a patience after having called them three times (I was 7-minute late for my Zoom meeting, being hassled to get connected, that should be a good reason to take one star down, too).2. I wanted to use the big bathtub for a comfort from my long trip, but I got hesitated to pass through the front area and didn't go and use. The hotel allows the guests to wear Yukata and Tanzen to come to the bath, but I didn't want to. I don't get how the guests can be comfortable in Yukata in lobby. Even with my regular clothes, well, I couldn't imagine myself passing through the people at the front desk right after taking the bath... I've never seen a hotel with such a awful bathroom location, so one star down, definitely. お伊勢参りが目的で、でも仕事があるためこのホテルを予約しました。インターネットアクセスがマストなるも、結局使えず、セットアップに悪戦苦闘しただけ。ホテルのロケーションは町から離れており、インターネットアクセスの状態からして、結果として、このビジネスホテルにする必要はなかったです。
