Sanco Inn Iseshi-Ekimae Shikinoyu

It is a very good hotel just across the Iseshi train and bus station (very very location wise). The location is superb as it is in a walking distance (7 min) from Ise Jingu Geku and just accross the station where the buses start point for all the points of interest/ tourist attraction are (there is the CAN bus which goes around the tourist spots). The room was comfortable, the staff very polite and friendly. I liked that you could refill (for free) your amenities at the cart in the reception (making it also more environmental friendly as each guest takes what they need), there were pillows to choose from at the reception if you wanted the something different (different hardness (?) of pillows, different materials) and overall they aimed to the comfort and good sleep. Although the breakfast is a small buffet it contains the city's specialties which I wanted to try. The staff at the breakfast were really nice and friendly! The staff lady even recommended what to eat and what food combinations to make. As extras, there was a vending machine outside the public baths (onsen) in the corridor next to the hotel's onsen, an ice maker, items for free rent like adaptors, cloth iron etc

Only the little variety in the breakfast but it was saying so in description. I just expected something a little more

Super convenient location, right across from the station, a short walk to Ise outer shrine, and frequent buses from the station to the inner shrine. There's nothing I've come to appreaciate more on my travels than getting off the train tired, after a day of sight seeing, with a heavy pack, and seeing your hotel just right across the road instead of 1-2km walk away. Facilities was great. I really liked the pillow bar service, as I often find pillows provided in Japan uncomfortable. Wifi was good enough for me to play online games on. The onsen was really nice to have, a bit hot for me, but that usually means it's perfect for most people.

Only thing I could complain about was the window in my room wasn't quite sealed properly and made a little bit of an annoying whistling sound when windy. A very minor issue.

Very large bathroom. Large bed. Large room. Clean. Organised. English version of hotel rules- not all hotels have this. Desk was good, but could be a little larger and good shelving above bed. Free water, but only on second day. Staff were very helpful even if speaking very little English.

There was an unusual smell in the bathroom when I checked in- maybe cleaning product. It disappeared after a few hours with exhaust fan turned on. Complimentary coffee, but no tea. Only powdered tea offered in the room- no teabags. Expensive. Terrible view out my 3rd floor window.

1. Hotel near the train station 2. Friendly staff 3. Great view from windows for whole train station 4. Good sound proof for the room, didn't really hear the noise from the train :) 5. Have a locker room for luggage when you check out early

1. Public bath is a bit small. 2. convenient store is 3 street away. 3. Didn't have the room luggage rack

Neat business hotel right in front of the Ise station, short walk from Outer Shrine of Ise Jingu. Clean and comfy, great for an overnight stay. Staff spoke limited English but were very friendly. Baggage was stored before check-in behind the front desk.

Doors have very bad sound proofing - I could hear everything from the hallway, but not from other rooms.

The location is great—just across the street from the train station. The room was clean, I was able to safely leave my suitcase with the hotel before check-in and after check-out, and the artificial onsen was nice. Nothing fancy, but affordable and good for solo travelers like me who are not looking for a luxury or resort experience.

The location is super convenient, right next to Iseshi Station, so it's a great base to explore the wider area. The rooms are attractively furnished too. I had a very comfortable night's sleep. Staff at reception and during breakfast were helpful and attentive.

I initially had trouble connecting to the WiFi, but once I was on the connection was good 😊

The breakfast had many options even for vegans and vegetarians. I feel like it was a bit too expensive for that price but it was good nonetheless.

The room theater service was paid and I feel like the price of the room was too high. Around 10 thousand yen would have been better.

Sanco Inn was 2-3 mins walking distance from the Iseshi-station. The room was cozy, clean, and quiet. Onsen facility was really nice to use after having a long trip from Tokyo. Breakfast was delicious. Staff members (Front desk and staff members at the restaurants for the breakfast) were very kind, welcoming, and nice to communicate. Pillow bar (depending on your preference, you could choose the type of pillow you could choose) was very interesting to watch and experience. Thank you for your service!

Nothing

The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious and the staff was courteous. The location was convenient and extremely easy to get to from the station.

There was nothing that I strongly disliked. I was content with my experience at the hotel.
