The hotel is in the heart of the city and gives direct access to the train and to the Shimanami Kaïdo. The hotel is nice. The breakfast is really a good part of the experience.

Well the room we had did not look like the one we booked. The windows were too high and it was not possible to see outside without taking the stairs leading to a very small part of the room which was not very comfortable. The sink in front of the bed (which is very low) and outside the bathroom was not practical. Since the photos of the hotel shows the spa zone, it could be written in a more obvious way that there are extra costs for the use of it (quite expensive). With a room not so comfortable, a free acces for guests to the bath would be appreciated. Last but not least we arrived by car and had extra costs for the parking.

right in the middle of town so close proximity to the main transportation hubs. all the food here is very delicious!

noisy! wish there were blackout curtains. lights from the train station brightly shine in all through the night.

Good location. Very helpful staff. Comfortable room, surprisingly quiet considering it is located above a train station

A bit surprised and disappointed that I had missed the time deadline when I only checked in at 7 pm to order breakfast for the following morning. I can understand the chef might not be able to get ingredients for a full breakfast by that time. But surely, an hotel of this standard should be able to provide a lighter alternative to their customers for orders after 7 pm.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

- 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

Loved the high ceilings in the room. Strong shower. Clean room and nice design, and thoughtful touches like bedroom slippers, many charging sockets. Breakfast was also enjoyable and well presented. Location superb being right by train station - great that windows well insulated so minimal train noise experienced.

The Nespresso machine water container appeared to have a leak as we noticed water on the table subsequently. Having English news channels on tv would be a bonus.
