ＴＨＥ ＨＯＵＲＳ
Business hotel with a bar and sauna near Hiratsuka
About this hotel
ＴＨＥ ＨＯＵＲＳ sets itself apart from the plainer business hotels near Oiso with a hip internet cafe and a casual bar on site, giving the evening more to do than a standard chain hotel would. A sauna adds a small wellness element without a full onsen bathhouse, useful after a day exploring Hiratsuka or the coast. A restaurant three minutes away covers dinner beyond the bar's offer, and the hotel's straightforward, unpretentious character makes it a practical rather than a resort-style base for the wider Oiso and Odawara area. Free Wi-Fi and paid parking round out a stay built for a short, low-key stop rather than a full resort experience on the coast.

Our take
This suits a traveller or couple wanting a business-hotel base with a bit more evening character than usual, sauna included, rather than a family resort experience. It's a weaker fit for anyone specifically wanting beach access or a full onsen valley stay, since neither is part of the offer here.
- ✓Use the on-site sauna after a day out rather than heading back to the room straight away.
- ✓Try the casual bar for a low-key evening rather than walking into central Hiratsuka after a long day.
- ✓Book the restaurant three minutes away ahead if you'd rather have a proper meal than the bar's lighter offer.

Why guests love itWe stumbled onto ＴＨＥ ＨＯＵＲＳ after a long day of travel and mostly wanted the sauna, which turned out to be exactly what the trip needed — a quiet half hour before the bar downstairs, low-key enough that it felt like a genuine break rather than another item on the itinerary to check off before bed, no plans and nowhere else to be.
