"This is an amazing hotel with a spectacular view from your room if you have a sea-view room. The island of Miyajima is a beautiful place and this hotel compliments its beauty with traditional Japanese architecture and furniture wile also offering the most very modern facilities for your comfort and relaxation while staying there. We had lounge access and the was great for snacks and afternoon/evening drinks. The dinner was exceptional with a five course meal that totally satisfied our varied palettes. The rooms are big and spacious with a strong traditional Japanese twist. And the beds were some of the most comfortable we had slept in on our many travels. The staff were just amazing also. So attentive and helpful. This is a gem of a hotel in the beautiful island of Miyajima. Added bonus is that the water gate structure is just a stone throw away. Would highly recommend."
