Hotele z: Pools w Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan

Initially i wanted to book a hotel somewhere in the downtown. But the breakfast and the dinner here caught my eyes. Also the view of the inland islands. I stayed 2 nights here, I came from Fukuoka where my plane landed. The taxi fare from hiroshima station to the hotel is about 3000-3500 yen. There is free hotel shuttle bus but i did not take it. Also, there is public bus stopping right outside the hotel (which i found out later). Though the hotel is old, it is well kept and clean. The staff were very eager to assist the guests and there is always a smile on the face. I was given the 17th floor facing east. But the morning sun was too bright. Though it didnt matter much to me. Another reason i booked this hotel is they have speed boat counter for Miyajima island. I booked one way there as I have the JR pass for return and I have plans after. One way ticket from hotel to Miyajima is 2400 yen and return is 4500 yen. There is a convenience store in the hotel. But I believe they closes at 2200. Also, there is hot spring in the hotel. There is a usage charge for it, but i do not recall the price as i did not use. I went up to the bar on the 1st night. The view was great. Most importantly the price are reasonable too. For both days, i ate at the chinese restaurant for breakfast. 1st day was Japanese breakfast set. 2nd day was Japanese buffet style breakfast. They were delicious. The western and Japanese buffet breakfast at the top floor were very crowded. But they had more selections. For my return trip to Beppu, I used the concierge (bell desk) to send my big luggage to Fukuoka. The price was okay. I took the hotel shuttle bus go Hiroshima station. It was a pleasant ride. Do take note it is first come first serve and there’s a queue. I will stay here again, should I come back to Hiroshima. Thank you.

A nice but not great Ryoukan This was a harder resort to measure, luggage drop off was awkward and the decor is not to the cleanliness id like That said this ryoukan is on a small island so perhaps its to standard. What i can say is the room was large enough and the facilities included free yukata rentals, ramen at night and the Onsen view was perfect. Location wise you are an 8 minute walk to the Torii Shrine but its a small island so wherever you book you wont be far from it. I think with a refresh of the decor this could go from good to great But dont expect spotless levels of clean.

The hotel staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, greeting me upon arrival and seeing me off at check-out. The location is excellent, right next to the station with plenty of dining options nearby, and the hotel's own restaurant is superb. The bedding and pillows in the room were incredibly comfortable, truly impressive – I even considered buying some to take home! The environment was clean and hygienic, and the windows were so spotless they seemed to disappear, giving me a fantastic impression of Hiroshima overall. The only minor downsides were the hairdryer wasn't great, and the shampoo and shower gel weren't big brands, leaving my hair a bit stiff.

The hotel's location is decent, making it easy to catch a taxi, and the 50 bus stops right outside. The facilities are comprehensive, the rooms are clean, and the soundproofing is good. The pool staff are warm and friendly, and the water quality is excellent! The front desk service was adequate, but as usual, they were quite serious with non-members. Breakfast was quite crowded, and the food quality was average.

I come to the island mainly to visit the rabbits and enjoy the quietness with the rabbits in semi nature! And this is the only hotel I can stay on this island. But everything is on average with friendly and helpful staff! The only thing I want to give a feedback is the smell of the room. After staying there for 2 nights, my clothes came with a strange smells from the bedding and its dated and damped smell in the room. Everything is clean but when the building got old, smells will just come along inevitably. So its better to offer air freshener or purifier in the room.

We had a wonderful time enjoying the onsen bath, recliner lounge, ocean terrace and beautiful view from our room (Note: trip.com booking of lowest priced room with sea view is not correct as the room is located at the lowest level and you only see trees before the ocean. We need to pay extra to upgrade the room to a better view). There's a private onsen bath tub in the room too. They also provide free coffee, popsicle sticks and yukata at the lobby. Dinner and breakfast has a reasonable spread but most food (especially the fried ones) are pre-cooked and cold. So they don't taste as good. The location is high up the hills. It's not possible to get a bus and then climb up with heavy luggages. The best way is to take a taxi, so be prepared to pay the price.

I chose to include dinner package, but the quality of dinner is really poor I do not know if it is booked through trip, not standard hot spring inn quality: no pre-meal wine, sashimi thin to shreds, followed by the dishes along the way is Soba => bird winter => rice,,,,are your kidding me?

Although this hotel has been open for many years, its facilities are still relatively new and complete, and the rooms are exceptionally clean and tidy. The hotel warmly provides guests with snacks. We opted for breakfast and dinner, and the meals were surprisingly generous and varied. The hotel offers a shuttle bus service to and from Fukuyama Station, which can be reserved by calling the hotel in advance. The staff are English-speaking. The hotel's views are also worth mentioning: the vast ocean in front and the town and mountains in the back create a delightful and relaxing atmosphere. Overall, this is a very good review.

The staff were very happy with the smile I missed the hotel where I could stay with my pet, but I didn't smell especially like my pet. The bath attached to the room was very good to put it in my favorite time
