Independent in Shiraishi Island from AU$63

"I really appreciated the hospitality of the staff, and the small touches like the ginger tea and jelly they leave for you in the room. I had a wide desk and comfortable chair, and a large twin bed with a very comfortable duvet. The bathroom has modern decor and the hairdryer is almost completely silent. My room faced the city so there was some noise from the traffic below but not too much."

"接客は抜群によかった。 設備は古いにも関わらずしっかりメンテナンスされていて満足。 暴走族の音に何度か起こされたのが残念だった"

"The award-winning vegan restaurant (with some non-vegan items also offered) is some of the best, reason alone to consider the stay. Proximity to the station with city and park views available is another for those travelling by JR or highway bus. The staff were excellent, the rooms and amenities are fine. Thanks for a wonderful business-class stay."

"Easy to locate property via google map. Received clear instruction on the self check-in info at about 9am on check in day. Clean and cosy apartment, the bed feels like home and we have a good two nights stay here."

"Room was clean and have everything one would need. Amenities and services were adequate and convenient. Nothing to complain about. Bed is on the hard side but is a matter of preference. "

"Well located, with a lovely view of the castle, and very friendly staff."

"Easy to check in. Super friendly. On site good restaurant. Room has sofa, fridge and hot water to shower"

"Charming hillside hotel with fantastic views. The room was spacious, clean, modernised with the exception of the bathroom which is still more of a traditional, dated Japanese bathroom, however, it was still very clean and of course functioning well. The Japanese breakfast in the morning was very lovely, accompanied by great views again. The lobby has a cafe where they do great latte art. There’s also a letter room where you can print photos and send letter which was a nice touch. Overall I really enjoyed my stay. One note of caution, this really is a hillside hotel, we initially planned to walk because google map says it was 16 minutes but it would be quite a trek up hill with very narrow paths so driving / taxi would be the way to go and there’s a taxi rank at the station which would be about a 10 mins journey and <1500 yen. "

"Very well equipped apt., very quiet area, clean and in good condition. Much larger than a hotel room at the same price level, and very central to everything in the area. Check in is by a system like a love hotel, so very easy but do look for an email with the door codes. Location is right across from the old town area and an easy 10 min. walk from the train station. Lots of choices for restaurants and there are several supers close by and a Lawsons on the corner. Eating in is an option if you are tired of eating out and is very easy. Good way to experience how the typical Japan apt. is. "
