Kintaikyo Onsen Spa Hotel

"We stayed here as we wanted to visit Miyajima island for a day trip. That worked really well and it was a good place to stay in Hiroshima and match with the island day trip. If you were not doing this, I do not know why you would stay here though. Room price was OK, but was very small, beds were hard and pillows uncomfortable. Breakfast was very expensive and so were all dining options except for the onsite okonomyaki (which was great). We had the top floor buffet the other night, which was OK, but the okonomyaki was probably actually better and 1/4 the price. Other reason we staid here was the pictures of the indoor pool, but this is actually a spa and is a paid extra per person. Checked later and saw that the description doesn't say indoor pool - so that was on us I guess..."

"Beautifull, clean, close to historic side. "

"The hotel is fantastic. Location is ideal, steps away from the ferry terminal and a short walk from the shore across from the O-torii gate. Staff is always helpful and courteous, the room was wonderful, with a view of the harbor. There is a bar that serves good food next to the lobby, and a great bakery for breakfast. The one thing we would recommend the hotel to modify is the following: There is a nice formal restaurant in the basement level that is supposed to be really good, and every sign and reference to it mention it closes at 9pm. However, last entry is at 7pm, and this is not mentioned anywhere until you actually get to the restaurant. We got there at 7:40pm, so for us it was too late, and we were unable to enjoy the restaurant. We will have to do it next time! And by the way, we would definitely stay at Miyajima Villa Hotel again. Highly recommend."

"Staff ho above and beyond to welcome and guide their guests. Helping with restaurant choices etc."

"Just OK. Not a high end hotel but OK. They should tell you about parking - which is offsite. We had to guess where to park. Also, very hard to get a taxi at night. Room was small but OK. Very hard to deal with the A/C controls."
