Hotel berhampiran Red Pumpkin, Naoshima

These rooms are very nice at a great price, close to Miyanoura Port and the I Heart U Bath. We stayed in Room C, which had 2 twin beds and a sofa in the bedroom, a kitchenette with a dining table, and a bathroom. We were in Naoshima mid week in April and discovered there is very little food available in the evening. So while staying here we were thankful for our microwave as we had 7-Eleven picnics both nights here.

As long as your expectations are set at around a hostel level, then this place is great. Lovely views, convenient location, rooms are clean and feel fairly spacious, nicely designed. Beyond that, we felt there was more care that could have been extended. We left our bags as it was too early to check in, and spent the day out sight seeing in extreme heat. When we returned, complete overheated and exhausted, our bags were still at the bottom of 3 levels of stairs, so we had to lug them up three levels. We then arrived at our room and it was like a sauna! No air conditioning on and the fridge was turned off! So the cold drinks we had bought had no way of staying cold as the fridge took time to work. The air con took ages to cool down the room. It would have been a really simple gesture, knowing the heat and knowing we were unlikely to get bank to our room until later, to turn those on for us. There was also no warning given about dinner options - most things book out and close early. The restaurant attached to My Lodge just shrugged their shoulders when we looked for solutions. It would make a huge difference to the stay of guests if, upon check-in or even at the time of booking, they were advised about limited dinner options. And if in Summer, air conditioning and fridges were turned on. I understand that taking bags to the room may be too much for the owners as it’s a steep climb, but this also may prove difficult for some guests, so something to be aware of. These may sound like small things, but they made our stay so much more tiring and uncomfortable.

旅客船の港から近く、家プロジェクトを回るのに良い立地でした。見た目は民家ですが、部屋は清潔感があり、ユニットバスやウォシュレットも完備されていてよかったです。寒い日でしたが電気敷き毛布があって温かくして眠ることができました。ご主人がとてもお優しくて、送迎や直島のビュースポットを案内してくださって、直島観光を満喫できました。また直島に来たいと思いました。その時も竹の家を利用したいと思います。

I got a whole house. Didn't expect it to be that big: kitchen, living, bedroom, shower, toilet, washing machine, all that in a quiet surrounding, with all the privacy you want.

Hotel keluarga, sarapan pagi adalah unik. Di rumah yang lebih tua, ruangnya agak sempit. Ia agak mudah untuk bermain, terdapat stesen berhampiran

This little guesthouse is simple but so well priced and met all our needs - mostly its close proximity (15 minutes walk) to both Honnura port area and the start of the Benesse house art zone, the main locations for the absolutely amazing art installations on Naoshima. Room was well sized, clean, secure and warm. The host was very friendly - he even gave us a lift into the Benesse area to give us a great head start on our day, and securely stored our luggage for the day. I would definitely stay here again. For those coming to Naoshima I would recommend staying 2 nights so you are not rushing your time on this beautiful serene island and make sure you book various galleries well in advance, they sell out even in off season!!

Large yurt with 4 beds. Very clean. Quite hard beds. Excellent location near Benesse Museum (walking distance, or next to bus stop). Excellent airconditioning. Toilets and shower are quite far from the yurts. Basic comfort but that’s ok. Very quite place. Diner is good: you get a large plate with plentiful of meat and some shrimps, vegetables to put on a table bbq. Breakfast is too basic and not our taste: Japanese udon noodles. Tip: go to the nearby Terrace restaurant : you get an excellent breakfast buffet with tons of choice for around 25-30 euro.

2023年10月、オーシャンビューツインルーム(バルコニー)で1泊 【良かった点】 ・とにかく部屋のバルコニーからの眺めが素晴らしい ・温故知新をコンセプトにしたホテル内装外装のデザインが独創的 ・隣接したFORQというレストランの食事が美味しい ・競輪のレースをバルコニーから観戦できるのは玉野だけ ・アートの島「直島」へのアクセスが良い 【注意点】 ・レストランでの夕食は一般客と共通、窓際の席は要予約らしく座れなかった ・バルコニーからの観戦は海風が強くて夜は寒い ・自販機はあるがお酒の販売はしてないので、飲みたい人は持参した方が良い ・最寄りのスーパーやコンビニまで徒歩で行くのはやや厳しい距離 ・ミッドナイト競輪開催中のみバルコニー観戦はできないらしい ・競輪開催中は大浴場が使えずシャワーのみ 【総評】 競輪好き以外にもおすすめ出来るホテル。アートの島「直島」へ観光に行く宿泊地としてもおすすめ。
