The customer service was not bad, they were friendly. The room itself and the property was decent but a bit outdated and unkept. The biggest problem was the bed. The mattress was so bad it felt like I was sleeping on the floor. It had an additional pad/topper and it was still horrible. We had two rooms and a total of four beds and they were all in the same condition. The two nights we were there I was not able to sleep much and woke up in pain because the bed was soo bad. They need to invest in improving the hotel and buying better beds. I would never stay there again.

The hotel is perfectly situated for ferry day trips, to make use of the airport limousine bus (non stop bus to and from the airport), and to explore the nightlife and restaurants in the evening. The bus lines meet at the bus terminal which is also in easy walking distance from the hotel. The room was spacious for Japan and the balcony was a nice extension to the room space. Breakfast was bountiful and well worth including in your stay. For me it was exactly what I needed in order to be explore the islands around Ishigaki

Do not go unless you don’t mind cockroaches

Full of fungus smell like you can still feel from your clothes after check out.
Highly likely you will sleep with cockroaches here and there. Saw a few on TV table and bathroom during our three days there.
Make sure you turn all your lights on so that they are not coming out.
Can’t believe I paid 35,000yen per night at this place. What an unfortunate price for the quality.

Great views and location but that's about it

We chose this hotel for the sea views and were not disappointed. However the room was old, the beds were rock hard and the pillows were flimsy. We both slept very badly. No power sockets near the beds (for charging phones), basically the rooms need to be modernised.

The location is extremely convenient (a few minutes walk from the ferry terminal and airport bus) but the rooms were far too expensive for what we got.

The hotel is a little outdated and can be a little cleaner but is not dirty, can use an update. Loved there is no carpet in the rooms, linen was super clean, the room ammenities were good quality. The best part was the breakfast, the food was amazing and the staff. The staff was so helpfuland so nice even work around the language barriers to help us. TWe had to extend due to the typhoon and they were super accomodating. I can’t thank the staff enough. Every person we encounter was nice and plesant. The location of the hotel is perfect to go island hopping, take the bus or simple walk around downtown. Is far from the beach but the island is not that big so it was not an issue. The only negative thing was the no parking, it can get expensive paying x it hourly

Location was convenient to ferry port, restaurants and shops. Must drive to any beaches. No pool. Only one elevator goes to top floors above 3. Small but sufficient rooms with 4 beds was great for a family. Beds and pillows were very firm like Japanese futons. We prefer softer. Breakfast was great combination of Asian and American favorites plus Bue Seal ice cream if you wanted.

Stay away from Ishigaki

This is probably one of my worst selection via hotels.com. Dirty room, poor maintenance, and the worst breakfast I have seen. I absolutely did not expect such poor standard from a \"Japanese\" hotel, and worst of all, I paid an extremely high financial price for the stay. My sincere advice to anybody looking to visit Ishigaki - don't go. It can be a real culture and cleanliness shock for regular travellers to Japan proper. It was a nightmare.

Can’t Go Wrong

Very welcoming hotel. Staff tries hard to please. I found the beds quite hard. I requested another blanket to put on mattress and staff immediately brought up a foamy to put on the mattress. That made it comfortable. Loved that all rooms face the ocean. Can’t go wrong staying here as it is close to everything, including ferries to other islands and airport bus.

Great staff but room had a strong chemical smell

I am conflicted while writing this review as the staff was very accommodating when I told them that I could not withstand the smell in the room. They let me check other rooms to see if it was better, but when checking the other rooms, it smelled the same. They were kind enough to also refund my second day booking. I had to switch hotels as I could not stay the night. I am very sensitive to scent so that could be a problem for me and not others as I saw other people who stayed in the hotel just fine and a lot of reviews are good on Expedia.

The doors to the room is all rusty but the room itself is quite clean. The smell reminded me of a strong chlorine smell. If you are ok with that, the location is great and the staff are friendly.

Perfectly located in the center of town

The hotel is in a great location and very easy to find. We took the bus from the airport, and arrived at the final stop (Ferry Terminal) in about 35 min. We spotted the hotel immediately after getting off the bus and it only took us 5 min to get to the hotel on foot.

Check-in took less than 5 min, and was very smooth. There is only one elevator in the hotel, but it wasn't a problem for us. The room condition and wifi was good, AC worked really well as it was very hot in Ishigaki. Beds were comfortable but pillows were too flat.

All the rooms have balcony and face the ocean. Breakfast had lots of choices and really good.

Sett sina bästa dagar

Detta är ett mycket nedgånget hotel som har sett sina bästa dagar. Fint läge med utsikt över hamnen. Vi uppgraderade oss till sviten högst upp.

Dagen innan vi skulle checka ut bad vi om en timme längre eftersom vår taxi till flygplatsen skulle komma klockan 12. Men det var vi tvungna att betala för. Ofta kan man få en timme eftersom incheckningstiden är 15.00, men det var hotellets policy sa de.

Till frukost behövde vi en kupong som kunde köpas i receptionen. Det var inget de sa när vi checkade in. Vi köpte kuponger och skulle äta frukost. Vi gick hela tiden be om att det skulle fyllas på och när vi bad om kaffe då det bara bar lite kvar i kannan fylde han på med mer vatten men det fick bruggas med de gamla bönorna. Det blev svagt och odrickbart.

Hotellet har ingen städning men kan byta handukar om vi hänger de gamla på utsidan av dörren, då kan vi få nya som hänger på dörren. Vill man få soporna tömda skall man lägga sina sopor utanför dörren.
