Sado Sado Steamship Hotels

"This is an aging hot spring hotel type ryokan, but it is well maintained and the staff is outstanding. This hotel is still so popular with the locals that all of their restaurants were sold out for all meals on a Tuesday."

"A family-run homestay. I was fascinated by the ypical Japanese home, the minimal design, sliding doors, mats for beds, the ingenious storage... MY guestroom was Western in every way (tv, upright bed, a.c.) but I enjoyed my insight into real Japanese life. The proprietress is a master gardener, too."

"We are a family of 3 staying one night in a room with private bathroom. The woman that checked us in was polite and helpful. She pointed out the nearest Family Mart where we got dinner and the next morning's breakfast. Since everything closes early near the port the 20 minute walk to Family Mart was the closest place to get food. She pointed out that there was a dining area and kitchen on the 3rd floor so we didn't have to eat in our room. Where they went above and beyond was after we checked out and had returned to Tokyo. It wasn't until that moment that our son realized he left his expensive CRT overnight contact lens in the room. We called the next morning and they had found it in the room. They shipped it to our hotel in Tokyo that day and it showed up the next evening. So thank you to the staff at Guesthouse Zink for helping us out."

"The room was well designed and very comfortable."
