Independent Watarai hotels

"As this hotel is a 20-minute walk from the train station, there are few restaurants/cafes nearby but there is a FamilyMart across the street. The hotel is an old budget hotel charging high rates since it is in Ise - so not a good value. The furniture in the rooms is old and visibly damaged, while the mens onsen spigot is rotting wood. Check-in is at 4pm unlike other hotels at 3pm. I would rather sleep on the floor than the mattress, which is small for a double and lumpy with springs."

"Love the toyoko chain! They’re efficient, thoughtfully designed, and walkable to the train station. Breakfast is great. It was raining when I arrived and the walkway from the station is mostly covered. "

"Clean, great breakfast, shuttle"

"Views and bath"

"The room is spacious and clean, with many designs dedicated for the ease of stay which we like a lot. Breakfast wise is good selection with theme of seafood in the Toba region. Onsen is the best part of this stay as this might be the only region you may find the pearl theme onsen with many good quality skin products free for use. Overall a very satisfying stay here, will definitely come back again next time!"

"Very pleasant stay. Food options clearly geared toward the domestic traveler but, if you're planning to stay here to visit Spain Village or Ise Shrine, it's perfectly fine."

"Single small elevator, very slow, long wait. No staircase. Hotel Shuttle to train station full, not able to access."

"Room and board were generally impeccable. This little hotel a little away from the main Toba town centre is peaceful and better for those with their own vehicle. "

"dated but clean hotel. major issue was the futon bed (couldn't get a western room) - had sore back by the 4th night"
