A nice hotel located about a 5mins walk away from the train station. The rooms are comfortable enough, although some things in the room didn't really make sense, like having an induction stove in the room but there is no induction stove cooking ware. I would also like to have two hotel key card instead of just the one they gave me during check in.

Nice staff and good food in an older hotel

While the hotel is a little old and the wallpaper is ripped in areas, the staff are very friendly and kind and the breakfast was very delicous. The onsen bath was cold on two nights and when we shared this with staff, they reset things quickly, allowing us to return in an hour to piping hot spring baths. The hotel doesn't have all the bells and whistles newer hotels have but the nice staff at reception and at the restaurant make up for it!

In short, this place is a dump. The first red flag upon entering is the stained couches. Then you get up to your room and notice all the walls with laminate peeling off. Then entering your room you see hair in the bathroom, carpet that hasn’t been dry cleaned since the 70’s and scuff marks on everything. The walls are thin and you can hear everything, including cars from outside.

Though WiFi is available, it should have been great, if LAN was ready to use as I would like to establish local network under portable router covering my amazon fire stick, mobile phone and laptop. Moreover, TV's HDMI ports are completely unavailable, being covered by wall. So, I decided to move to another hotel which is newer and has relatively smaller rooms with latest equipment selected with more sophisticated and customer-oriented idea. hope this hotel to invest on the facilities a little more penny.

I was following the rugby a Scotland supporter!

Staff were very very helpful. I had lost/mislaid my credit cards and the staff telephoned the previous 2 hotels i had been in to enquire if they had possibly been found.

With no success they then helped me to call my bank to cancel the cards and organise replacements to be sent to my home address,

Rooms are dated and didn't realise they still allowed smoking in Japanese hotels, found it really difficult as we weren't used to the smell. Recommend you ask for a non smoking room if this would bother

An average business hotel.
5 mins walk to Shizuoka station, breakfast and room have nothing to complain about but the public bath was pretty small, can't accommodate more than 3 people at one time. Although there's unit bathrooms in each room, for such a mid-size hotel I would still expect something bigger. And note that the bath closes at 11pm. Not a good suggestion to go during Golden Week as it was so packed that I had to get a queue number for breakfast.

Great hotel for all travelers

Just a short walk from Shizuoka Station, the Kuretake Inn is ideally situated both for travelers wanting to take in the city as well as venture out to some of the area's most famous Fuji-san viewing spots, and it won't burn a hole in your wallet.

Pros:
- Super wide bed just perfect for 2
- Lots of free amenities in the lobby (extra pillows a big plus)
- Strong Wi-Fi
- Breakfast buffet is loaded

Cons:
- Proximity to station and major street means it may be too noisy for some (I always sleep with white noise, so it didn't bother me)
- Shower gets super hot super easily (to be fair, there is a warning about this in the shower)
- Not sure if the Earl Grey-scented shampoo is the best choice...

Would definitely stay here again if my travels bring me to Shizuoka!

Decent hotel for the pricepoint

Nice hotel and convenient to the train station. The size of the rooms were the only real drawback. Rooms are comparable in size to those found on a cruise ship, and can be a tight squeeze when adding luggage to the mix. Internet was spotty some days as we were constantly being kicked off the hotel network. The morning breakfast buffet was good with a nice variety of Japanese and some American breakfast items. Room was clean and air conditioner worked well.
