Shizuoka Daiichi Hotel

I stay at Associa or Daiichi Hotel near Shizuoka Station. When I have the time, I stay at Associa, but usually I stay at Daiichi. It's cheap and sufficient for a place to stay. The rooms aren't small, and the facilities and services are all there. The only drawback is that it's a little far from the station. Other than that, it's more than worth the price.

The location is within walking distance from the station Shizuoka. there are plenty of restaurants and bars around the hotel. although the hotel situated slightly away from the main area. the only noise you here is from the trains entering and leaving the station. The hotel itself don't look much from the outside the windows lighting and reception could do with updating but don't be put off by this the rooms are very nice and cozy and clean. Breakfast is a typical Japanese style buffet with a selection of food. Staff are very friendly, one thing I will say if you are looking for luxury this hotel isn't for you. Clean tidy budget hotel

The property is located 4 blocks from Shizuoka Station, but half of the distance can be covered indoors by walking through the Asty restaurant mall. The hotel has 5 floors of rooms, but only the 4th &5th are non-smoking, so be sure to stipulate that when reserving. The rooms are compact, as would be expected, with prefabricated bath/shower installations, but they are well-appointed with everything you might need, including a small but quiet refrigerator. The breakfast was great, although the food was directed towards the local population, so you might be disappointed if you prefer western food. There was, however, good coffee, bread & jam and runny reconstituted scrambled eggs. There was many kinds of vegetables, however, cooked in traditional style. The bed was comfortable and the WiFi worked well.
