The hotel was perched on a hill beside the sea, offering a breathtaking view of the water. A complimentary taxi service to and from Atami Station made transportation convenient. The staff provided exceptional service—warm, polite, and attentive, always demonstrating initiative and anticipating guests’ needs. The room was comfortable and spotless, featuring a balcony with a stunning sea view. The refrigerator was stocked with a variety of complimentary drinks. A semi open-air onsen on the balcony overlooked the sea, providing a serene and picturesque experience. The hot spring water was free-flowing and of outstanding quality. Both the Kaiseki dinner and breakfast were exquisitely presented and delicious, crafted with fresh ingredients. The staff explained each dish in detail, enhancing the dining experience. Overall, we had a wonderful stay.

Our corner room was unbelievable…the view over the tops of the trees and out onto the water and expansive sky. The hot springs private onsen was so relaxing for us. We loved the privacy and enjoyed being able to have natural light and views of nature while in the shower or getting ready in bathroom. Bathroom was well equipped with quality amenities/toiletries and the heated stone floor was a bonus! The beds were heavenly to sleep in, very comfortable. The stunning views were breathtaking. We didn’t want to leave! 9 course Dinner was amazing in taste and presentation. Highly recommend.

Not able to walk down to beach area; very steep and narrow streets.

Full disclosure - this place is much fancier than the places we typically stay. It's expensive - but it was worth every yen. The facilities are luxurious. The food is an absolute marvel - creative, beautifully presented, and delicious. The private onsen on our balcony overlooking the ocean is the perfect way to relax. And the staff were all so incredibly kind to us and our children (especially Mayu). Our few days here were amongst the very best we had in Japan. Highly recommend this place for a relaxing, memorable splurge.

Although this is our most expensive stay during our vacation, it was money well spent. The room is spacious and quiet with a private hot spring tub and lounge beds on the big deck overlooking the ocean. The bathroom is also spacious, filled with great amenities. We were provided drinks, juice, beer and water for free in the fridge. The taxi rides from the train station, to the museum, etc. were paid by the hotel. The staff is very helpful. As for the food, the dinners in the teppanyaki restaurant were artfully displayed, carefully prepared, and delicious. There were many courses for dinner and even for breakfast. They even gave us tickets for the MOA museum which is one of the best things to do in town.

We were very happy with our stay at Atami Sekaie. The hotel offers spacious rooms with a nice view and exeptionally nice service personal. It has a bit of an old-fashion charm to it. The little private onsen on the balcony was also nice and the meals were excellent.

We were not very impressed with Atami itself and spend most of the time relaxing in the hotel. The hotel is a bit old-fashioned but we did not mind. Not for travelers who look for night-life and entertainment.

Room was very good, well designed and equipped. Onsen on the balcony was excellent. View was zen like. Food was very good

There was cigarette smell in the lobby, the pot light above the bathroom wasn't working, initially we thought the bathroom was rather dim, then just before leaving we realised there was a potlight on the ceiling but none of the switches turned it on. Because we were a group of 3, we did not have a wondow view for our meals. They were only for parties of 3.

Breathtaking view, soothing hot water that is all mine-just-mine! The room was spacious and extremely comfortable, they have thought of everything really. Equipped with both a kettle and a coffee machine, multiple hair drying-styling equipment and amenities. The teppanyaki dinner was delicious and included gourmet choices of ingredients and drinks. Staff were extremely attentive and polite. A stay to remember for life.

The double beds are not really double beds, but just two rather large single beds pushed together. If you are not too big, you can just sleep in one together. :) Nothing else to mention, really. I wish to go back.

Property is new and modern with absolutely beautiful rooms. Stunning views of the ocean and the private bath in the room made our stay truly enjoyable. Staff was incredibly friendly and very accommodating. Food was exceptional, we truly enjoyed the Teppanyaki style and dinner and breakfast.

Public bath at hotel is lower standard than expected given the price point for this hotel. While nice, it looks like a bit of an afterthought.

Extremely traditional up market hotel that promotes high Japanese culture and food Private Onsen and attention to detail was great Japanese food presentation and variety of traditional food was amazing We were given a great Teppanyaki evening on our 3 Rd nite

A selection of some western food would be great for overseas tourists Working around the non English speaking staff proved interesting

Everything! The staff were so polite and welcoming. The welcome seating and drink while staff helped us check in was so pleasant, our own personal staff to show us to our room, the beautiful room with all the little details or amenities, our own traditional Yakuta to wear to meals, the private onsen and peaceful nature of the ocean view. Everything was amazing!!

Maybe just the smell of cigarette smoke as we walked from the lobby to the elevator.
