Great service & staff, super interesting local breakfast, and a wonderful atmosphere. All the extra touches — like sparkling water, tea, vinegar drinks, evening local alcohol, washing and drying machines, souvenirs, essential oils, extra hangers, and the overall attention to detail and local vibe - are fabulous.

Even though the hotel is absolutely charming, it’s clear that it could use a bit of renovation. Refreshing the carpets, furniture, and walls would be worthwhile. It's all clean and trim. It’s just a matter of the visible passage of time.

The staff is very present and attentive, the location is very convenient by foot from the shopping streets, ferry and bus terminal. very spacious bed.We enjoyed the walks in the park after the bridge, where you can enjoy the view of the ocean and the sunset . The hotel has many free services with the coffee machine, tea bar, fresh or sparkling water and bar. As well as the washing machine available for free, shoes dryer in case of rain was great . The reward system in the form of vouchers to spend at certain local merchants set up to avoid energy waste is a very good thing which we also adhered to and appreciated.Thank you for this pleasant stay.

Nothing

Comfortable/delightful setting. Resort setting with amenities even 5 star do not provide! Coffee tea special teas, awamori shochu happy hour, breakfast every morning, sparkling water, purified water, scented candles, washing machine, direct call taxi telephone, free bike rentals, and more water pressure with hot water than even Ritz Carlton in the shower! Yes it’s a bit worn, but it puts the Patina in the hotel….i stayed 1 week, would stay the whole summer in season, plus sandals, shirts, and trousers…. Plus many restaurants nearby, convenience store 50 feet away, and 5 minute walk to ferry’s!

Nothing!

Good location next to the harbor and the active part of the city good breakfast and friendly staff

The mattress in the room was not really comfortable compared to other hotels, I think it was both old and not good. So my partner and I both experienced back pain after sleeping in it. The coupon system: instead of providing per default the towel changes, room cleaning you have a very weird system of coupon to exchange against services! And we received coupons on our 3rd day so I prefer classic hotel service. The Parking lot, we have to give our car keys to reception eqch time we park in the hotel parking which is also not very convenient as we each time need to wait to get back our keys whenever we want to have access to our rental car. Poor sound isolation

This is just a sweet little hotel. We got a triple room so we could spread out and it was great. We loved the breakfast, new items every day so we got to taste many of the island specialties. Wonderful tea selection, fruit vinegars and free cocktails. Wonderful free laundry with plenty of machines. So many good features that I can't name them all. They helped us with booking tours too. Great location for tours, ferries, downtown area with so many great restaurants.Easy to walk to all.

Nothing- all good.

Location good, about 10 min walk from Ferry’s and Restaurants. Family Mart just around the corner. They offer many free drinks in the lounge: Sake (afternoons), sparkling water, tea… Room somewhat larger than for instance APAhotels! And….USBcharger next to your bed. Also, enough poweroutlets. Free luggage storage before and after check out and help will calling a taxi <3. Sweet staff! Arigato Goizamasu! Tip: 1) avoid the buses as most as you can! Free bikes are awesome! Maesato beach is about 25 min by bike (belongs to a hotel but day guests are welcome, just follow the signs on the property). Tip 2) Put your laundry in the machine when you go for breakfast, in the afternoon the machines are usually occupied. Tip 3) Taxi to airport is about 3500 yen Tip 4) Definitely take the ferry to Taketomi and rent a bike there Tip 5) if you go to Kabira Bay and use Google Maps: dont put in 'Kabira Bay' as your destination because you will end up in the middle of nowhere. Use 'Kabira Observation Point' or 'Kabira Park'. The last one is also the name of the busstop.

Only thing I can think of is offer late check out or showers for people who have checked out already but that is just a wish from a spoiled traveler 😊

Very sweet place, extremely friendly and helpful staff, comfortable, clean, quiet rooms, simple, but very carefully prepared and good breakfast buffet, which changed a little from day to day, with some local style dishes, as well as miso soup, rice, bread, etc. Coffee and tea availalble all day. Free bicycles avaiable up to 5 hours. Less than 10 minute walk to ferry and bus terminals, as well as the market, center of city. All at a very good price point.

This hotel tries really hard. Free coffee all day, free drinks from 3pm, reasonable breakfast, coffee maker with pods in room, a points program for not requesting room service that lets you “buy” snacks, nice staff. The room was a bit small but they always are in Japan and it was adequate. Nice sitting area on the ground floor. Near the port. Very quiet.

The wifi was a bit fragile sometimes freezing or dropping out.

What an excellent hotel very close to the town center and the port and within walking distance to everything. The decor is a bit dated but the service is excellent. The free bar and vouchers is a great idea. It was a lot of fun to chat to people in the bar in the evenings I really enjoyed my stay here and would definitely come back again.

You had to come early to get a good choice at breakfast, but it was decent,

Everything! Feels homy with kind staffs. Everything is thoughtful. Telephone by the elevator that directly connects to a taxi company. So many herbal tea to choose and bring to the room. Soda water beer andI heard there is even Awamori service time. Sunlotion and body cream in the room. Full amenities and extra. Versatile breakfast. Education wise, they have quiz sheet for us to learn about Ishigaki, also a language tree for us to learn and write and add on a tree. My friend broke her sandals and the staff fixed them, too. I have been in my life so many hôtels. Patina is one of the best! Professional but Warm, and homy and lots of thoughts into the place! Highly recommended.
