Guest House Megumi — Local services in Atami

Stayed for 4 nights after trawling round several different places in Japan. Had originally booked to stay somewhere else in Atami but I’m glad I changed to Megumi. It’s very close to the railway station. Hint: check your emails when you book as there is a quick and easy route from the station to the guest house which is not the Google maps route. The guest house send you a link to a 3 minute YouTube video which shows the route from the station. ||I stayed in a dorm room which had added privacy curtains to the roomy beds. It was a little stuffy in the evening as the a/c doesn’t generally get turned on until 9pm. Free tea, coffee and water is provided in the tv room and there are all the usual things to ensure that you can be self sufficient. ||The rooftop terrace has a tremendous view over the beach and sea, as do some of the private rooms. The staff are friendly and helpful. There’s nothing I didn’t like...

The only advantage point is its good view to see fireworks . The host can’t accept customer’s sincere feedback via booking agents and shot back with very rude and offensive comments!

The host even used his torch light to check any guests wearing the wrong slippers at the rooftop watching fireworks! There were no signage to inform guests for his rule! It is completely not the guests’ fault!Some Japanese guests were fed up and left immediately,we can understand how frustrating they were! It definitely spoilt their mood! We NEVER NEVER come back ! As a guest ,it was pretty rude for the host to use a torch light to check if we did change our slippers! We believe there should be a better way to communicate! Sorry to give our true comments on our bad experience for what we saw and...

guest house megumi is one of the loveliest places i've stayed in a while! the property is up a pretty steep hill, so i got my morning exercise climbing up and down. stayed for two nights in the dorm and the bunks were very comfortable, the curtains made for a good amount of breeze that ventilated the room well and kept me cool. the onsen was in fantastic condition and loved using it every night. the owner was so sweet and kind, old chinese man who clearly is passionate about his job and his property. we conversed in english, japanese, and mandarin, and always asked me how the room was, the facilities, even helped with my doing laundry. would definitely come back...
