Mountain View Hotels in Ibusuki

"Let me start with the conclusion: the hotel is good, but trip.com is bad. I booked a non-smoking room, but trip.com reported that the hotel had a smoking room. When I checked in, I found that the room smelled very heavy of smoke, so I discussed it with the hotel. At that time, the hotel showed me that the reservation document from trip.com showed a smoking room, which was exactly the opposite of the screenshot of my reservation for a non-smoking room. The hotel also said that there were no similar non-smoking rooms available and they could only give me a larger double room. I don't want to take advantage of this. It's obviously trip.com's fault, but the hotel has to bear it. Therefore, I wrote down the experience truthfully. I don’t know whether this review will be published, because I didn’t reply to the online conversation on trip.com at that time, so it was left alone. Once again, the hotel is very good, but please think carefully about whether you need to book through trip.com."

"Our Third Visit to Ibusuki Royal Hotel – A Perfect Family Getaway This was our third stay at the Ibusuki Royal Hotel. On our previous family trips, we stayed next door at the Iwasaki Hotel, which is now unfortunately closed. The Royal Hotel is beautifully situated right by the seaside, offering stunning views of Mount Kaimon from the side — the scenery is simply breathtaking. Although the facilities are a bit dated, everything is immaculately clean, and the staff are exceptionally kind and attentive, making our stay truly enjoyable. The spacious guest rooms and relaxing atmosphere reflect the charm of a seaside resort. The hot spring baths, including the open-air onsen, were the perfect way to unwind at the end of the day. The breakfast buffet was also impressive — the quality and variety exceeded our expectations, and our whole family was delighted. Another plus is the hotel’s convenient location — within a 10-minute walk you’ll find the Daiei Shopping Mall, where you can easily pick up local foods and souvenirs. If you rise early, I highly recommend taking a morning stroll along the beach in front of the hotel. It feels like stepping into a scene from a movie — a peaceful and beautiful start to the day. If you’re planning a family trip, I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel. We visited by rental car from Kagoshima, but it seems that a shuttle service from JR Ibusuki Station is also available. A truly wonderful stay — we look forward to returning again!"

"Hotel location is close to the famous sand bath hot spring, you can walk there, you can also buy tickets at the hotel (should be slightly higher than normal price), they will provide towels and cars to go to the sand bath hot spring. The hotel has a Japanese-style room, the room is wide, facing the sea, and the view is beautiful. As for the western-style room, it is the opposite direction, I don't know how the view is (because we live in Japanese). One berth and two meals, dinner is kaiseki cuisine, the portion is sufficient, delicious 😋. Breakfast is Japanese set (not buffet), and it is also very satisfying 😊 The hot spring is divided into male soup and female soup, there are baths and open-air winds, each suitable. The spring water is clear and there is no sulfur smell."

"The hotel is quite old but so is the other hotels in the area, free alcohol bar at check in time was great it was overall nice."

"The sunrise and sunset can be photographed because of the seaside relationship. The room is arranged on the 4th floor, and there are vending machines and ice machines on the floor (and beer vending machines). Staying in the seaside room (tami mats), the whole is a retro route, people who like retro style hotels are very suitable. There are also sand baths and large baths to soak. I just met ビアガーデン in July. In the evening, I can listen to the sound of the sea by the pool and eat barbecue or white bear (ㄔㄨㄚˋ ice) and drink beer ～. There is also a swimming pool on the first floor that can be used by yourself."

"Идеальное соотношение цены и качества! Берите номер в японском стиле, чтобы прочувствовать атмосферу рёкана на горячих источниках. Помимо стандартного онсена, есть ещё и ванны из горячего песка. Вкусные завтраки (большой шведский стол) и роскошные ужины кайсеки+шведский стол. Мы с удовольствием вернёмся в этот отель."

"The room is large, with a swimming pool and a sea view. The hotel is very private, breakfast and dinner are kaiseki cuisine. Hotel service is very good, you can borrow a lot of things for free in the lobby. To go to the hotel, you need to take a taxi from the jr station, and a forest path is also very artistic."
