Tabino Hotel Sado

One of the newest boutique style hotels in Sado Island. Centrally located, just 20 minutes from the Ryotsu port. Great amenities and it has a hotspring with fancy hair dryers and hair oils. Roof terrace where you can see so many stars.

This is quite a simple hotel - more like a business hotel - but it had everything we needed. ||As with everywhere in Japan it was spotlessly clean, provided tea and coffee in the room and had a fridge. ||Eating options were a bit limited but the food was very good.||It also offered a free laundry which was great for us having been travelling for a month.

Stayed in a double room for a night and I must say, everything is perfect. Like all japan hotels, the size of the room is not very big but decent. Enough space to put the luggage on the floor. Plugs and switches are all located at good spots, beside the bed as well as on the study table. ||The size of the toilet is comfortable as well. All the basic toiletries are provided, including a hairdryer. ||Definitely recommended!

It's a simple but good hotel. We enjoyed very much the in house onsen. The restaurant was rather simple but nearby are other options. Also parking is convenient. 

Clean room, really nice staffs and perfect location. Felt like more than 3 stars hotel. There is a nice and clean public bath for guests. It also have a restaurant that serve good food.

It's a typical Japanese business hotel, with pleasant public areas and a small but functional room. The location is in the middle of Sado Island and quite convenient for getting around. There's a free car park. The restaurant is better than expected - I had dinner there twice and was fully satisfied. The breakfast buffet didn't look worth the price of 1,300 yen so I went to the nearest coffee shop (Tully's, 10 minutes drive away) instead.||The staff at reception are pleasant and do their best.||The main problem is that the mattress is as hard as a stone, and the pillows are no better (I used my rolled up coat as a pillow, which was far more comfortable). If you like ultra-firm beds, then I can recommend this hotel. But I myself wouldn't stay there again for that reason.

Stayed 1 night at this newly opened (about 3 months since it's opening) hotel. Had the double room for myself, which was very spacious. I think it fits fine for two pax as you can store your luggage under the bed. Electrical points were well thought with a few charging points on the table as well as the side of the bed which brings great convenience. Bathroom is spacious and comes with all the necessities, such as shower gel, shampoo, conditioner. Hairdryer is also provided, so not to worry! Did not try the breakfast spread, so unable to comment. Definitely recommend this hotel!

This hotel is barely a year old and is doing a lot of business. I think it was at capacity on the 2 nights we stayed but the soundproofing is very good. English is at a minimum but adequate. Rooms are very tiny and have the smallest bathrooms I’ve ever encountered. We ended up getting 2 rooms so we wouldn’t get in each others way.||The small informal hotel restaurant was extremely good because the chef can really cook. He has even produced an handwritten English menu. It’s just as well because there’s just nowhere else in town to eat which has an English menu. In fact menus written in English are a complete rarity on the island. ||Just a few facts - if you want an early check in, you will pay for it - around ¥1,000 an hour for an early check in. There’s a very useful coin operated laundry and microwave. There’s just one lift to service the entire building - it was a little annoying at times and lastly, I paid the same amount per room per night here as I did for a 4 star hotel in Niigata.
