Hamanako Resort & Spa The Ocean in Hamamatsu

We booked in October for our family of three, hoping to enjoy the view of Lake Hamana and explore the surrounding area at the end of the year. The weather was beautiful, the view from our hotel room window was beautiful, and the room was larger than we expected, allowing three adults to relax comfortably. We had requested parking, so we were able to easily bring our luggage in. We ended up going out a bit late in the evening, but the large public bath was open until midnight, so we were able to enjoy a relaxing soak. It's conveniently located near the station. The hotel is a little old, and there weren't many electrical outlets, so I'm giving it four stars. The staff were all very kind, and I'd definitely like to stay here again.

I loved the exotic feel, but the old facilities were a bit disappointing!

Location of hotel is very good, next to Bentenjima Garden. Can relax by the Lake which is part of the garden. But the hotel suggested parking in the car park of the garden which will be charged 410 yen each time your car exits the parking area. The hotel also offers the big bath and everyone will be charged 150 yen no matter you use the service or not. Breakfast is quite good.

Rooms and hotel environment are a bit old. Cleanness should be improved.

We stayed with our family of four. The building is old, but the Japanese-style room was clean and comfortable. The view from the room was great. The breakfast buffet was okay. The porridge and whitebait were delicious. The Bentenjima pudding was rich.

The location is great. We booked for 3 people but there were 6 beds. There was no explanation of where to have toothbrushes, WiFi, or breakfast.

The food was a little salty. It was delicious. Also, the reason they upgraded our room was because there was a group of Chinese people. The room was very nice. However, I didn't want to eat with them, so I wish they would change the time. It was noisy, people were eating while standing, putting drinks in water bottles, and the tongs were messy...

Nice sea view

The scenery is excellent, the staff's service is excellent, and the room is a bit old. Half of the room price is due to the sea view, and the subway station is less than 100 meters across the road, which is a bonus.
