SYMPOSION Locanda

Excelente location: 5 min walk to the beach and 10 to a convenience store. Nearest train station: Hase. Near to Big Buda Statue (Kotoku-in), around 8 min. Individual room, comfortable, cozy and clean. Screen check-in.

OK. I’m going to start with the tough part: I can’t understand how the door locks on the room can be allowed. They are not at all safe. The door can be locked FROM THE OUTSIDE by someone else, and the people inside can be locked into their room!! Massive fire hazard. The mgmt really do need to look into a different system. Secondly, the door “lock” from the inside is insuffient: it is like a very small/wimpy latch that could easily be rendered useless by an intruder. As two women travelling (mother/daughter) I was very aware that the others staying at the guest house were all men. No staff onsite. With these two items rectified it would render a higher rating from me. The room was quirky, but clean. Has toilets down the hall, and a bath/shower room on the main floor. Help yourself to free ear plugs at the door, as the walls are not soundproofed and you will hear it all! Checking in and getting the key through an iPad felt like a geocaching experience. The neighbourhood is quiet but lovely, literally a handful of steps from the Enoden train line’s Hase station and a short walk to the beach. Some lovely restaurants here but rarely open and some nights we had a tough time finding anything open.

The room was great. Very comfortable bed, efficient shower with very hot water. However getting into room was less then optimal. Communication would be better in email. Need to know mist walk between buildings to access hotel If coming by taxi.

The room was very comfortable, the place is clean and the attention to detail is great. The staff, though remote was very helpful. It is extremely well located, a stone throw away from the train. 5-10 minutes walk from good restaurants, hiking trails and temples. I highly recommend if you want an authentic feeling, cozy space.

Great staff, cozy vibes and walkable distance to beach and many other highly interesting places.
