Hatsukaichi 3 Stars Hotels

"Very traditional Ryokan experience, with the Tatami floors and Kaiseki meals. Staff is very attentive. This is not a traditional "luxury resort" (don't expect service and standards of a four seasons or ritz carlton hotel). Rooms felt a bit antiquated, but I think this added to the charm of the hotel as it positions itself as a place to have a more traditional Japanese experience. It is about a 10-minute drive from the main town on the island, so it is a bit out of the way. If you want to be close to the action / shrines on the island, this probably isn't the hotel for you. If you want something super quiet and private, this is a good fit."

"No ocean view from my room, but this place is absolutely fantastic, and brand new. It is NOT on the island - be aware - and it is a 10-minute walk or more to the ferry. We did not make a reservation for dinner, so we missed out (I'm sure it was amazing) but our breakfast the next morning was out of this world. We did the American-fusion breakfast (it was not very American, but my gosh was it great). Absolutley loved the hotel."

"This hotel is very conveniently located near the ferry station, making it ideal for visiting Miyajima early in the morning or later in the evening, away from the crowds. Miyajimaguchi itself is also a pleasant area to relax and enjoy good seafood. The room was clean, efficient and cozy, and the staff were very kind and helpful. A lot of amenities provided. I also discovered buckwheat pillows here for the first time and absolutely loved them — I will definitely look into getting one back home! "

"Very clean and everything you need! Loved the proximity to the ferry and trains!"
