    The restaurant was closed for dinner and was not updated on the Bookings.com website. A bit disappointed but staff managed a refund within a day or two.

    The location was perfect for travellers. The breakfast was good. The best feature were the corner windows of our room. Watching the comings and goings of the trains was a treat for train buffs!

    Storage space is limited if you have alot of luggage.

    The room layout was nice and comfortable, the tatami loft was good to relax in. Location right on the station, central to many attractions. Breakfast was tasty and the staff were helpful.

    Would have liked some choice with the breakfast to accommodate dietary restrictions. We could hear the trains at night, which kept waking up my partner. Also couldn't easily open suitcases due to the room layout.

    Really clean and modern hotel with a very central location - ideal for starting the Shimanami Kaido. Also it had all the amenities you could need, incl. washing facilities which were very useful.

    There was no breakfast buffé, instead the breakfast was served individually on a tray. The quality was good but I would have preferred a buffé because I would have picked different food items for breakfast.

    Fantastic room and location. Very friendly staff. Clean and fresh facilities.

    We stayed for two nights in different rooms. We felt the room we stayed in on the second night was much smaller (even thought we paid the same price).

    It was very convenient, staff very friendly and rooms were clean

    As other reviews mentioned that the rooms were very small, we upgraded to a queen superior after our original booking. The superior queen room we upgraded to was still quite small. But we were there for the outdoors and rested very well. But it was quite expensive compared to other hotels on our trip.

    The location was excellent and perfect for the part of our trip where we went cycling. Staff were accommodating and friendly. It was very clean and the bed was comfortable. We slept very well with no noise disturbances that previous reviews have mentioned.

    Very very cramped room. Impossible to open a luggage The design is so weird and furnitures are either useless or with no added value and take space (mirror at sitting weight only for example) Breakfast is a whole pre defined set, no sweets almost, which led me to not take it the 2nd day

    Location in the train station building. Modern Comfy bed

    - the room is really cramped that there’s almost or no room for your luggage - hard to communicate in English with the staff - not affiliated with the Shimanami Kaido same day delivery service

    - proximity to the train station - dystopian feel of the place - washing machine and dryer in one

    The room was an odd shape meaning there was little room between the bed and the wall. Perhaps that couldn't be helped, but the positioning of the only mirror in the room (in the bathroom) at navel height, was quite weird.

    This hotel is very stylish, and the staff were all very welcoming. Breakfast was good, although not a buffet. Location was fantastic, really near to the port and the starting point for the Shimanami Kaido.

    You can't beat this place on location full stop. You tap your IC card at the station and the stairs/elevator are right there to the hotel on the floor above. Don't worry about noise we could see down the station platform from our room and never heard a train. Once you do leave the hotel there are food, bike hire and ferry within a few 100m of the hotel. Sad we only had the one night. Staff were amazing. Private onsen/hot bath was great.

    Neat little room - tiny, but well appointed and efficient! Big step up from the genkan to the room. Not all rooms have this so be sure to check if you have accessability issues. It was very quiet since January is the off season. I was the only person in the restaurant at breakfast both days I was there.

    This was the best accomodation we had for our entire 3 week trip! The room had an elevated tatami mat area with back rests and a view over the harbour which was so comfortable and perfect spot to relax. Bed was really big and comfy, and this is the only hotel where we had a walk in shower not in a bathtub. Perfect location as well - on top of the station but still quiet and easy walk to all the restaurants. Staff were all really friendly and helpful.

    The room design was a little awkward with the basin out in the main room area and no mirror in the shower room. Noise from other guests carried a little also.

    Fantastic location and great looking hotel; breakfast was lovely and all staff went above and beyond.
