Hotel ROUTE INN di Hatsukaichi

Great location. Right next to ferry port taking you to Miyajima. Hotel staff were friendly. Room was a bit outdated but decent size and bathroom was good. Standout of the hotel is the onsite restaurant. I had forgotten that I had included dinner in my reservation and so was shocked at the absolute banquet I received over my two nights stay. So many dishes all of which were super fresh and tasty. Primarily fish based which is understandable given location. Staff again friendly although all do not speak English so be understanding of this. Breakfast was also more than adequate. Also really liked the nice touch of the hotel offering a money voucher which could be used at the gift shop or cafe if you agreed to not have the room cleaned over a certain period. All in all great value for money, and great location if you are wanting to visit Miyajima.

Sarapan di hotel ini agak ringkas, hampir tidak cukup Hotel lama, benar-benar lama Berjalan di sekitar hotel, ia berasa seperti hutan purba Kejar dengan penyelenggaraan Otorii, hei, berpura-pura melihatnya

found this hotel as we were staying one night in Miyajima and it was a lovely experience. we decided to book a family room for the 6 of us, it had 2 single beds and 4 futons. the room had Japanese style with tatami mats, Japanese style bathrobes and shoes, tea and tea table. as well as being modern with the toilets and shower facilities. we booked a night cruise over to Miyajima island and saw the Pagoda which was so cool an amazing little treat. the real gem was the the private onsen! for only 3800 per couple was such an enjoyable experience a lovely way to relax with my wife and enjoy the night view of the island.

Good points: 1. Location is amazing since it’s right on the island and everything is within walking distance. 2. We had breakfast and supper included in the stay. Food was varied and plentiful for most palates. Plenty of fruit and veg too. 3. Staff for 98% of the time was great. Language barriers are expected. Google translate is a perfect alternative to the translation issue. The front desk staff were awesome and was extremely helpful. 4. Room is spacious for a traditional Japanese hotel. We had our own onsen which was delightful. The beds were mostly comfortable and we had two full mattresses pushed together creating a massive king! 5. Once you enter the hotel you must take off your shoes and the hotel provides house slippers which generally fit most people. The lobby has shoe cubbies for your shoes. They do not lock, but Japan has very little petty theft so you don’t need to fret over potential thievery. Negative points: 1. This is of no fault of the hotel, rather it’s a Google maps problem. Be aware Google maps will basically have you climb the mountain and drag your suitcase through a dirt path. Instead put in the Miyajima post office and with the water to your right, turn up to the small road with the post office to your back. Keep going straight for about 2.5 city blocks and you’ll walk right into the hotel. Much easier than the 40 minute hike we took. 2. Restaurant staff on the whole were great. Only issue was this morning when we went to breakfast this morning and tried to sit in our usual table, the staff tried to sit us with some other people. I asked if we could sit at a different table and the individual said no and walked away. We didn’t know these people they tried to sit us with. However, they were tourists like us. I was frustrated because the staff member just walked away from us when I was still speaking to him. Very rude! 3. The toilet room smelled really bad. It was a combination of mold and chemicals.

We wanted the ryokan experience and we certainly got it. We arrived early so able to drop off luggage at the front. First, the hotel has pick up/drop off services for/from the pier. Just contact them to provide the time and they'll be right out front with their black van to pick you up. The staff is very friendly, and had our luggage in our room by the time we came back to check-in. We had the 308/Kaede room. Wow, it was huge. There were basically 4 rooms, one western style dining room, one Japanese style dining with tatami mats, another tatami room, and a sitting room facing the Itsukushima Jinja Pagoda. It was pricey so maybe why the hotel didn't seem full but there were so much to the hotel. While you are out, they will setup the mattresses for the night. There is also a massage chair in the room, along with Yukatas you can borrow for the stay and to use while at the onsen. As for the facilities, there is so much to the hotel. It has a cafe facing the street, and a rooftop terrace that overlooks the harbor area as well as the shrine. at the upstairs floor, there is a quiet reading room, as well as several focus rooms, and at both of these, there is all you can drink soft drinks, popsicles, beer, hard liquor, and coffee. We were up in the terrace multiple times through our stay and never encountered a soul. We opted for the included breakfast which is a traditional Japanese breakfast. It wasn't the kids' cup of tea but a great experience nonetheless. The onsen was in the basement, open to the public but we only saw staff come in to use the shower, and usually had them all to ourselves. There is a channel from the room that you can view to see if there are folks in the onsens but that never seemed to be accurate. Location was remarkably convenient. It's facing the ocean and the Shopping Street was right behind it. And couple minutes walk to views of the Itsukushima Shrine. We really can't recommend this hotel enough and worth what we paid. It lived up to our expectations and desires for the full ryokan experience.

The room is surprisingly big with lots of amenities like audio room, massage chair and coffee machine. There’s a balcony inside the room with garden view. Super nice and relaxing. It includes dinner and breakfast, in general the presentation was great and delicious. Just a minor issue, the staff should clean the onsen more often. Overall it was a happy stay and recommended! 👍🏼

ご夫妻？お二人で運営されるこじんまりとしたホテルですが、 応対も親切で非常に印象は良かったです。 部屋も広く快適でした。 但し部屋備え付けのお風呂はトイレ一体のユニットバスで正直狭いです。 しかし大浴場が家族風呂で解放（利用時は鍵でロックします）されており、悠々と入浴できました。 ロビーには本棚にずらり小説がならび、薪ストーブにあたりながらセルフコーヒーで静かにくつろげます。 立地も最も賑わっている通りの一本上の通りでアクセスは良いと思います。

Really nice traditional guesthouse to stay in Miyajima. Right in the heart of the old town and couple of minutes walk from the shrine. The chef is an absolute sushi master also and was amazed by the sushi omakase tasting menu we received as part of our stay. It included some different fish i was hoping to try while in Japan. Would definitely recommend staying overnight if you get the chance if visiting Miyajima as the shrine and Tori gate is really nice lit up at night when quieter with less tourists and the Shiomachi-An guesthouse made for a really nice place to stay

開設された当初に家族で行ってから，15年くらいたちます． ウッドワン美術館が春になって開館するのに合わせて行きました．背面の山にあるスキー場には残雪，朝は霜がおりていて，まだ冬の感じが残っていましたが、近くを散歩したら梅が満開．沿岸部よりも春が遅いおかげで，楽しめました. 設備はそれなりに経年劣化しているところもありましたが，メンテナンスされていました． スタッフは笑顔で対応してくださり，朝のジョギングの後に　お風呂にはいる際には，心配りで別のタオルとロッカーのカギも準備してくださり．気持ちよかったです． 夕食は，丁寧なつくりで，おいしかったです． COVID-19ワクチン証明でお安くなり、Regional couponもありとコストパフォーマンス良かったです． 広島市内からドライブでも渋滞することなく，晩冬をたのしまさせてもらいました．
