TABINO HOTEL Sado

The Tabino Hotel in the central part of Sado Island is a very modern, very well-equipped and conveniently located business hotel. There is no charge for on-site parking, and we didn't have any trouble finding a space. Check-in was straightforward. Our room was well-equipped for bathing, sleeping, etc. There's a refrigerator in the room. Nice features of the hotel included a public bath (like an onsen) that was sometimes completely unoccupied, and that had all the various sorts of lotions, treatments, etc. that my wife likes to use; she said that she didn't need to bring anything down from our room because the bath was so well-furnished. There are also coin washers/dryers that include detergent, so that you can do your laundry on-site. There's available cold drinking water (in summer) so that you're not fussing with luke-warm tap water. There's an on-site restaurant that gets good reviews. There's a gas station, a grocery store, and the local hospital across the street. Would definitely stay here again. Nice place.

The on-site restaurant was closed on Wednesday. Otherwise no complaints at all about this hotel.

This is a full-service hotel set in the middle of Sado City, which is about halfway between the Sado Kisen ports on Sado Island. Bus service to and from the ports is good. It is a very well-run, quiet hotel, with plenty of free parking on site. Our room was very clean and the twin beds were spacious and comfortable. Water pressure was good in the en-suite bathroom, and wifi was stable and speedy. We especially liked the guest laundry facilities and, extra special, the lovely public bath on site.

Since we don’t speak Japanese, I found it difficult to communicate my need for some printing to the reception staff.

great vacation hotel - all rooms have sea views, big rooms, comfortable, nice friendly staff.

a better selection of bread & spreads at breakfast would be nice

The staff was great and friendly, and the price was totally unbeatable. The room was bigger than usual for Japan and the beds weren't bad. The air conditioner worked well, which was great since it was quite hot out. The communal bath was small but clean and comfortable with plenty of free amenities. There's a huge variety of shampoos, conditioners, and body soaps that you can use for no cost. There's a small rooftop terrace as well, which allows for beautiful views. The attached restaurant is delicious. You really need to try Buri-katsu while you're in Sado. Overall, it was a great hotel to stay at and I'd definitely stay there again.

The elevator was extremely slow, even when no one was using it. The location is far from any public transportation, so you definitely need a car if you're going to visit. The beds could've been a bit more comfortable. I could feel springs poking me. Also, the roomwear was scratchy and uncomfortable.

Excellent business hotel, clean room and about the size we expected. Nice public bath. Great staff, very helpful. Free parking. Right in the middle of the island, so although the immediate neighbourhood isn't very special, it's a good base from which to explore.

The on-site restaurant was a nice property but the food, and in particular the service, were a bit average by Japanese standards. However I suspect the restaurant isn't run by the hotel so maybe an unfair criticism.

Excellent location.

Water pressure was very low on 5F. We complained the next day and they moved us to the 3F and compensated us.

The staff are very friendly and helpful. The location is perfect for us to travel from/to Niigata.

The air conditioner was quite loud.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Hotel is almost new, and room is quite large in Japanese standards. Large free parking available outside

The sound isolation is not very good, easy to hear noise coming from next rooms

piazza was nice and good to order at the restaurant.

modern and clean
