Hotel berhampiran Hisamatsudai Dai 5 Park, Fukuyama

Stayed at the Anchor Hotel for 1 night and was very happy with the stay! The staff were very welcoming and the signage was clear in relation to checking in at the Oriental Hotel next door. Staff were very helpful and made check in easy. The room itself was stylish and very spacious compared to other Japanese hotels. The bathroom was modern and very clean. Nice touches like light switches, plugs and USB ports by the bed and dimmable lights throughout. You can also use the onsen in the Oriental Hotel which was great. The onsen is small but provides towels in the reception and toiletries in the shower area. We stayed for the free breakfast on the first floor of the Anchor Hotel and it was simple but delicious. The location is amazing! Right next to the castle and opposite the mall and train station. A convenience store is 30 seconds down the road. Parking is available directly next to the hotel for 1500 yen for 24 hours, so very convenient. Will definitely return on future visits!

部屋は狭くてオートロックではなく、 よさは駅近、安くて朝食付きというくらいですかね。 駅からホテルまでの道中にはコンビニは駅高架下のセブンイレブン一軒だったかと。 簡単なブッフェ形式の朝食付きですが、 スタッフが時々覗くくらいの管理でとりあえず用意してますというレベルでした。

Wifi not good in the room. Wifi keep cut off. No hot drinking water provided. No microwave etc. Shower good strong Room clean Stair case climb up to 3rd floor is a hassle. Lounge area is clean and big and get wifi. Very near station so very good Many shops nearby Food easy to find.

思った以上に良かったです。 まず、きれい。そして、12時チェックインもありがたい。 何より、朝食を部屋で食べられるので、賑やかな場所が苦手なビジネスマンの私にはありがたかった。至る所で、客を信頼しているサービスを感じました。 欠点は、ホテルの壁の薄さ。隣の子供の声で目を覚ましたのは、残念でした。夏休み中だから、仕方ないですがね。

　初めての鞆の浦観光の宿に私たちが選んだのは、ホテル鴎風亭です。館内からの眺めが素晴らしくて、料理もおいしそうな素敵な宿だと思ったからです。 　実際に宿泊してみると、私たちが思い描いていた通りの絶景と、おいしい食事と、素晴らしいおもてなしの素敵な宿でした。そして、それにプラスして、福山駅からの往復の無料送迎バスが利用できたことがありがたかったです。送迎バスを利用するには事前の予約が必要です。 　私たちは、福山駅１２時発の便にしました。福山駅からホテルまでは、およそ３０分。１２時半過ぎには、ホテルに到着しました。チェックインの時間までは、鞆の浦散策をし、ちょうどチェックイン時間の３時ごろまで、しっかり観光を楽しみました。 　翌日も、チェックアウトの時間に合わせてバスが出るので、たっぷりとホテルライフを楽しむことができました。自分で運転しない分、レンタカー代もかからず、車窓からの景色もたっぷりと楽しむことができました。

I spent a night here with my gf and it was a marvelous experience. They offer a luxurious dinner and breakfast experience that uses locally caught seafood and ingredients that will made your stay very pleasant. Located in a quiet area away from the city's hustle and bustle but still within walking distance from the local station and seaport. The staff were very hospitable and very thoughtful. The room offered a traditional Japanese bathroom with a tub made from cypress that gives a pleasant aroma when bathing. It has a nice outdoor view that you can enjoy from comfort of your own bathtub. The rooms a nicely appointed and have a 5-star experience that you can only experience at this ryokan. I would definitely recommend staying here if you ever visit Onomichi!

Stayed 1N. This is a very small hotel. It is located facing the water and beautiful sakura trees. The lobby is located at the back street and the restaurant is at the front of the building. Check-in was quick and the front desk personnel were hospitable. I was assigned a room facing the water and the sakura trees which were in full bloom. The room is typically small by Japanese standards. Only 1 small hard pillow, firm bed. Strong Wifi signal. Breakfast was a semi-buffet - the mains came in a tray and the breads, cereal and juices were self-service. The owner is an elderly gentleman who took the trouble to meet and greet guests at breakfast. No on-site onsen. You'll need to take a taxi to the nearest bathhouse.

This is a wonderful hotel, unfortunately we were put into the smallest room, one that was so small and filled with unusable furniture that there was no space for one guest let alone two. Getting around meant one person had to stay on the bed while the other crawled to the sink or shower room. The room was so tiny that staying in it was a constant source of tension, the kind of tension that can ruin a vacation. It was so small, it was almost impossible to step into the room and move aside so you could close the door behind you. There is a similar problem maneuvering into the shower. So if you want to stay in this hotel definitely ask not to be put in room 214. It's torture. Management would do well to remove the bed, the nightstand, the chair (which cannot be used because it has to be crammed so close to the small bed), and the small table next to the chair that also cannot be used. Replace the furniture with tatami, futons and a couple of pads to sit on. Now, moving on from the agitation of being sentenced to Room 214, this hotel has a lot going for it. The staff is super helpful and friendly. The hotel and the Onomichi train station share the same building -- a brand new building -- so as soon as you step off the train, you're at your hotel. Also, the building is completely soundproof. You will not hear or feel trains rumbling by or any noise from the bus and car traffic from in front of the hotel. The rooms have cathedral ceilings, not just high ceilings but vaulted ceilings, which I'm sure would have felt luxurious had we not been stuck in Room 214. The rooms also have high windows that give you a lot of ambient light and, I'm sure, great views from some of the rooms. Before being pointed to your room, you are brought to an amenity counter and allowed to take as many packets of luxury face washes, night creams and other cosmetics as you desire. A N'espresso machine and coffee capsules await you in your room. Once again, this is a wonderfully charming and modern hotel in a wonderfully charming and funky city. We plan to return to Onomichi when it is not so hot -- and stay in this hotel. But we'll ask for a larger room.

We stayed two nights here, before and after cycling the Shimanami Kaido. The location could not be better. Arriving by train, the hotel is just across a pedestrian walkway, facing the inland sea. Most of the cycle rental places are along the waterfront or nearby. The short ferry trip to start the cycling is almost in front of the hotel. The Superior Queen room with view was comfortable with electric kettle, green tea & coffee drip bags. The view (from levels 5 & 6) was great. The rooms have a retro charm. Breakfast was included & offered western & Japanese options. Nothing fancy but perfectly adequate. The reception staff speak some English & they were happy to store our luggage while we cycled. There is a coin laundry & bike storage off the main reception area. Overall, very good value.
