The front desk and dining staff here were great. They answered all of my questions and were very friendly and efficient. The Japanese traditional room was lovely, and the ocean view was fantastic. I enjoyed the onsen very much, and it was very clean and pleasant, with two baths, one small bath that was outside for fresh air. Loved the large yukatas, too! The breakfast was very good: very local, traditional, and fresh, and my table had a nice ocean view. Great dining service! The hotel is just 10 minutes walk from the JR station and downtown Nachikatsuura, and not far from other onsens if you would like to try many onsens in the area. There is a good, small Izakaya restaurant just a few minutes down the street if you prefer a different dinner.

I had heard that there might be a Hinoki wooden bath, but I was not told about it (I don't speak Japanese), so it might be nice to let guests know about all of the options for onsens, since foreign visitors might not know.

It's a bit old hotel near the wonderful beach. But it has everything you need including a nice onsen though it was a bit stuffy there. We had wonderful ocean view room. And it took about 10 min to get there from the train station. We rode to Nati temple and the part of Kumano kodo by a local bus that depatures from the station. There is a splendid fish market where we tasted tuna. And soaked our foot in the foot bathes. The hotel give 2 bicycles for free for 30 min. It was enough to ride along the beach. We like this town Kii-Katsuura very much!

It was cold to sleep near the window but there were warm blankets,

We loved sitting in the dining alcove looking out to the mountains and bay with the sea eagles soaring close by. The room was large with private toilet and washbasin and the public bath had the same great views (at least for the men, unfortunately the women’s bath has frosted glass – I assume for privacy). Breakfast was plentiful and tasty.

Nothing. For some people a 10-15min walk to town may be a problem but for us it was perfect.

The room was comfortable but the best feature was the bay view from our little sitting room. The locality is just stunning - exceptional. It was a good walk from the train station but that was also enjoyable

Great location, 10min walk from JR station, with ocean view. Clean tatami room with public bath (love it after long hike!). Friendly staff, nice services and good price over all.

spacious comfortable accommodation , nice, clean communal bath. ocean front rooms has a lovely seating area on a veranda overlooking the ocean. good location. sleeping with the windows open and the sound of the sea was heavenly.

A bit dated and a little bit tired. We were disappointed that we were told we couldn’t have breakfast at the hotel.

Room was a generous size with views over the ocean, hotel was very quiet, beds were super comfortable, the staff were helpful and friendly. We ate at a local restaurant which was within walking distance.

Located next to the Kii-katsuura station and nice public baths

The public baths don’t change so if you stay more than 1 night, the bath room will not change between man and woman

Upgraded room with a fabulous view, full course meal for both dinner and breakfast, open air hot springs. Sunrise Katsuura Hotel exceeded my expectations in more ways than one. It even felt like I had the restaurant and public bath to myself. The price I paid could probably get me a much smaller hotel room in Tokyo, without the meals.

No complaint!

The Japanese style room was great with a wonderful ocean view. The hot springs were refreshing. A very good choice to spend vacation.
