Smile Hotel - Shimonoseki

Room was fairly small but expected for the price. It seemed they were in a rush to clean up the room, since we found 2 used toothpaste tubes left in the bath and only one pair of slippers. But overall does the job for needing a room on a road trip.

The hotel is located really close to Shimonoseki station. The room is clean. The front desk staffs both night shift and morning shift are friendly. I arrived the hotel around 10PM so there weren’t many restaurants that still open at that hour. I had to walk a bit far for a convenient store. But I really enjoyed spending the night there!

Felt like going back in time 50 years, air con did not work and the pillows were thinner than flat Stanley.

This hotel is very convenient because it is close to the train station and a shopping mall. Staff is friendly and can speak in English.Bad side is that the car park is paid (500 yen) and too far away (5 mins walk from hotel).

The hotel is located near train station and mall. The staff is very friendly and helpful. There are two coin laundry machines and a microwave we can use at the fifth floor. The room is not that big, though. It's enough for one person but it will be quite difficult to move around for two persons. Overall, it's a good place to stay

Made a non smoking booking and arrived only to be put in a smoking room. Had to pay to book another hotel nearby as they couldn’t move me. Wouldn’t offer a refund for my booking because their system is saying it was a smoking room which is not true. Would recommend staying very far away from this chain.

Best price/value ratio I have stayed. 2 of us stayed in one room, and had breakfast included. The price was superb. The facility and the amenities are old, it hasn't had a renovation for ages, but by no means was it dirty. It is old, but very clean! I will stay in the hotel again, if I go to Shimonoseki.

Hotel next to mall and train station. Convenient and clean. Comfortable place for 1 night stay. Quiet surrounding. Mall close at 7.30pm
