This place is a must stay if you are spending the night in the magical Miyajima Island. It's a traditional japanese inn with everything you need and more, it's a short walk from the ferry station and far from the crowds, but the hotel also provides a shuttle bus for guests that is super covenient. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a very peaceful view of the sea and the cute deers, and with futon beds that were really comfortable. The food was really good, both dinner and breakfast. I highly recommend to get these meals, not only for the whole experience but also for the convenience since the places in the city closes very early. The hotel also have an onsen, for women and men, ping pong table, hammock and a souvenir shop. Also I cannot forget to mention about the amazing and kind staff, from the reception to the drivers that took us to the city thank you so much for everything. We wished we have stayed one more day to enjoy more this place.

Nothing, everything was just perfect.

For an authentic Japanese experience Miyajima Seaside Hotel is the place to stay. Wonderful friendly staff and charming amenities. We had dinner and breakfast included which was lovely. Beautiful views from both suites overlooking the beach and watching the deer roam on hotel grounds and eagles flying overhead. Really a delightful place to stay. Really impressed with the pick up and drop off service. Best hospitality staff I have ever experienced! Kind, considerate and very respectful. Myself and my son were a little unwell after being in the sun all day and the staff were so so kind and helpful. Vending machines were available, Japanese and western food available, activities for kids, gift shop.

There was nothing I didn’t like about the property, it really was a great place to stay and experience Japanese culture.

- staff were the biggest bonus to this accommodation. So helpful and friendly. Nothing was a hassle. Felt like they gave us a traditional Japanese stay and treatment which was amazing! - big comfortable rooms. Staff delivered our evening meal in our rooms then following this came in to make up our beds. - Very peaceful location but staff were so helpful at picking up our luggage prior to check in. Then picking us up when requested from the information centre at the ferry pier. And then again dropping our luggage off to us at the pier after check out when we had already left the hotel. - if you ever wondered if it’s worth staying in Miyajima overnight, it absolutely is and definitely worth it at this hotel!!

Nothing - it was great!

Loved how peaceful it was. Right on the sea, and they had flip flops, and mats to use for this. It’s a traditional room, and was very comfortable. The dinner was lovely and allowed us to try foods we wouldn’t have access to. Staff were very friendly and helpful. They picked us up from the ferry port, and took us back later at night so we could see the shrine lit up. It was a very relaxing place to be and I’d recommend staying here

As a heads up: It’s slightly away from the main area,(we wanted this) but others might want to be closer.

The courtesy and service by the staff is outstanding. From the moment we arrived at Miyajima to the moment we left, the warm service is very personable. One of the staff came to meet us at the pier to collect our bags so we can sight see hands free. They then collected us from the pier when we were tired and ready to check in. The views from the room was spectacular - lovely sea views with mountains, islands, and deer roaming around in the garden. The food served at dinner and breakfast were plentiful and delicious. The futon and doona was comfortable. The aircon kept the room comfortable. The public bath was also really great to sooth sore muscles. They also dropped off our bags at the pier so that we can sight see hands free before leaving the island. It was our first experience of a ryokan style accomodation and we thoroughly enjoyed it!

There was nothing that we did not like. Worth knowing that it is an older style hotel which we thought was really charming and really added to the whole experience.

The room, the view

The food. I thought I wouldn't be able to go wrong with hotel food in a place like this in Japan but unfortunately it wasn't as fresh as I was expecting.. It seemed to be your typical hotel quality food the quality of which you would expect in the USA or in Europe, at an average quality hotel.. Although the dishes were clearly authentic, the ingredients looked like they had been frozen and thawed, the feeling that this was your typical hotel you might expect for a hotel that's mostly catering to awesterner who didn't know any better The breakfast seemed better than the actual dinners, but still mediocre, and even a little off putting.

I stayed here one night on my final night before leaving Japan after a month of traveling. This was the perfect place to spend that final night. The staff were so incredibly friendly and welcoming. The hotel is a traditional Japanese inn (ryokan) and serves a Kaiseki dinner to you in your room. You sleep on a futon on the tatami floor. There is a nice public bath (onsen/sento) available. The photos on here are accurate. You have a beautiful sea view out your window. It is truly a magical experience. There are deer walking around outside as you eat breakfast. It’s just so serene and peaceful. Everyone should experience something like this on their trip to Japan. Quit reading. Book it!

The food was incredible - so, so, so worth it! Looking at the menus on their website, I realized this booking was for the most expensive seasonal menu they had, and it was worth every single penny. The quality, freshness, & amount of the food could not have been any higher. The room was impeccably clean and huge, with a lovely view at all times of the day. After dinner, the hotel provides a free shuttle to the torii gates so you can see them at night - they give you about 45 mins there and then drive you back. The onsen was pretty big and very clean, too, with a large dressing room with different beauty products (even a UV hairbrush sanitizer machine). This was our 3rd ryokan stay and it was by far the best one!

Traditional Ryokan stay, with dinner and breakfast included. Shuttle bus service to and from the ferry terminal was very good and quick.. Hotel collected our luggage from the ferry terminal when we arrived in the morning, and then picked us up at the end of the day., each time with just a few minutes of calling them. Dinner and breakfast very traditional Japanese meals. Not greatly to our taste, but well worth the experience. Dinner served in our room, seated on the floor. After dinner, the table is cleared away and the beds are made-up. Good location, a bit away from the main areas, but adjacent to a beach and small working harbour.

Somewhat expensive for what you get.

Absolutely amazing staff - very friendly and helpful - my daughter forgot to take a ring from the room and they chased us to the ferry and catched us last second to return it. Delicious traditional dinner that was served privately in the room next to our room with fantastic service. Very good location at the sea side - with a beautiful view on the sea.

The hotel is old and outdated and normally I should have rated it 6.0 but the staff and service compensate it.
