Hotele z: bar w Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan

The hotel staff barely spoke any English, so we had to rely on a translator to communicate. Checking in was a nightmare; they couldn't find our room, which took nearly half an hour. Then, when checking out, they gave us the wrong bill, for a different room, almost charging us an extra 4000 yen! I booked a triple room, but as the picture shows, only one bed was a proper bed, while the other two were makeshift cots. I wonder if this is standard for the hotel, or if we were just treated differently? All three of our rooms were also located near the elevators, which made them quite noisy! The rooms themselves were spacious, though. What was truly frustrating was how incredibly crowded the hotel was. The buffet breakfast could take an hour to queue for. On the bright side, there were three breakfast restaurants to choose from. The Pine buffet restaurant was the most popular, and it definitely lived up to the hype with its excellent quality and incredibly rich selection, far surpassing many buffets back home. Plus, you could eat until 1 PM. On our first day, we went at 11 AM and it was relatively empty, but on the second day, we went at 8 AM and queued for so long we questioned our life choices, so we switched to the Hyuga Kai (set meal) instead. Perhaps it was because it was the weekend, but there were queues everywhere, and the hotel was overflowing with people, mostly Japanese families with lots of children. We didn't go to the outdoor pool or hot springs because they were too crowded. There's a children's activity area on the third floor, but it costs extra. The hotel offers a shuttle bus to Miyazaki Station, but ridiculously, there are only three services a day, so most of the time you have to rely on taxis. The location is very remote, suitable for families with young children who want to stay at the hotel, or for those who have their own car! Just to add: No wonder Miyazaki is such an unpopular destination; the transportation is just too inconvenient. I won't be coming back here again.

The room isn't bad, a bit old-fashioned, but for the price and location, you can't ask for more. The owner was very pleasant and helped us a lot. You can park right at the door. If you're just using it to sleep and don't want to spend a lot of money, I recommend it.

It was a little walk from the downtown area, but it was acceptable. I booked a smoking room by mistake, but it was very helpful because I was looking for a non-smoking room on the day.

Five-star recommendation, recommended to travelers who enjoy local culture and like to experience life. This is a Japanese-style B&B with tatami mats, and one room can accommodate four people. The room is clean and tidy, the furnishings are simple and elegant, the house is well maintained and very new. I stayed in a room on the first floor with a terrace. You need to make your own bed when you check in and clean it up when you leave, following the rules of most B&Bs. It takes about 30 minutes to walk from Qingdao Jr Station to the B&B. We finished our meal near the beach and walked 25 minutes back to the B&B. The B&B is surrounded by residential areas and is very quiet. But please be reminded that Japanese houses are made of wood and are not suitable for the requirements of star hotels. Showering at night is allocated according to the number of guests, a bit like a dormitory. But all kinds of supplies are complete. The boss is a retired diving instructor. He doesn't talk much but is very down to earth. Offered to help us plan our trip. He can provide all kinds of fun and interesting content and experiences around him. If we encounter special requests, he will try his best to arrange and consider them for us. When I learned that my children and I wanted to watch the sunrise and go to Udo Shrine, we had to rush back to Kumamoto in the afternoon. The boss said he would take us in the morning... I was so grateful. On the way, the boss stopped at the best place for us to take pictures. When we arrived at the scenic spot, he also reminded us to pay attention to the details and photo locations. On the return trip, arrange it for me according to our JR schedule. On the way, they also asked whether the children had eaten breakfast, whether I needed coffee... We were very well taken care of along the way. The most beautiful scenery is the people you meet on the road. Thank you for booking this time!

Невероятно уютный и красивый номер. Есть мини холодильник и чайник. Хозяин очень гостеприимный. В номере есть душ и раковина, а туалет за пределами комнаты и общий (в описании к номеру я не обратила на это внимание), но с эти с проблем не возникло. Там вроде всего три номера, и людей мало. Хотя само место находится в тихом районе. Но к сожалению, может быть шумно, из-за постояльцев, которые забыли, что они там не одни🫣, ночью нужно вести себя тихо 🤫.
