Hotel berhampiran Onomichi Chamber of Commerce Memorial Museum, 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.

昭和の香りぷんぷんで、レトロです。でもどこに行くにも非常に便利な立地。駅も徒歩圏内、レープウェイも食べ物屋が近くにあり、満足。尾道ラーメンが隣にありましたが、あいにく金曜日は定期日でした。翌日チェックアウトした時に見たら開店前に列ができていました。ビジネスホテルなので狭いのですが、使いやすい棚が設置されていたのでこれは嬉しかったです。又、無料のスマホが置いてあり、外人さんにはとても気の利くサービスだと思います。 先着順の無料駐車場があり、朝11時のチェックアウトまで置いておけるので朝の観光には助かりました。 スタッフは淡々としていましたが、姿が見えたら遅いエレベーターのボタンを押してくれていたり、傘を貸してくれたりと親切で、意外に気持ち良かったです。こういうホテルも今は中々無いので、頑張って欲しいと思いました。

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.

サイクリングの出発地点で宿泊しました。ＪＡＬパックのパッケージです。 駅近、レンタルサイクルも至近ということで、非常に便利です。 建物が古いとか、狭いということが言われていますが、清潔に清掃してあって、一人旅には十分でした。朝食の量が多いので、少し選べるようにしてもらえればいいと思いました。千光寺まで歩きましたが、それほど遠くなく、市内観光にも最適だと思います。 また、機会があれば利用したいと思います。

We really enjoyed the hotel where we stayed for two nights in a twin room. Beds were great and the room was very quiet and there is a Lawsons next door which was very suitable for breakfast. Wifi was free and fast. The only negative is that the hotel is about two kilometres from the station and although there is a limited free shuttle it was a little far out of town. A shuttle on demand would negate this obstacle. Dinner at the hotel restaurant was excellent.

お風呂の施設が併設で朝風呂も入れてよかったです。朝ごはんがバイキングでいろんな種類のものが用意されてて美味しかったです。 ついつい食べすぎました。

瀬戸田港目の前の立地。フェリー到着すぐで最高。 部屋は快適。灯りも縁側のシンクもGOOD。 食事以外ではあまりスタッフに出会わないものの、随所にソフト面で心配りを感じる。特にお風呂に持っていく籠は家族に好評だった。 名物レモン風呂は匂いが良くて、良い体験。 夕食はかなりの量。4種の刺身は美味しかった。量的に3種でもいいかも。また煮付けは好みの問題かもしれないが、煮汁をもう少し改良しては。 朝食、これは素晴らしかった。とくにアジに青のりを載せて食べるのは新鮮で、家にかえってやってみようと思う。普段しない食べ方の提案をされる。これが旅の醍醐味。 パンとコーヒーのサービスが最高。和食ばかりで少し飽きていたので嬉しい。しかもドーナッツパンをはじめとした多彩なパンがコーヒーに良く合う事。 つつ井は、レモンケーキの向栄堂やコロッケの岡哲商店、満足度100%の耕三寺、蛸天丼のちどりからも近く立地抜群。 しまなみドルチェまでは遠いので、レンタサイクルを借りて、サイクリングがてらにいけば心地いい汗をかいて、美味しいジェラートが食べられます。 生口島に行く際はおすすめです。

There was nothing I did not love about this hotel. I suggest you come to Japan just so you can experience the Azumi Setoda. I am actually perplexed as to how there could be any negative reviews of this hotel at all. From the moment we arrived, we were graciously greeted by the hotel general manager, Yoshi. (We travelled to the Azumi Setoda by bicycle on the Shimanami Kaido bike path, which is also a wonderful experience. ) The hotel main building is the former home of a wealthy Japanese salt merchant and it has been painstakingly restored. The suites are impeccable, all in light coloured wood, with a large low bed, a huge bathroom and shower area with an exquisite wooden tub, and sliding screens that can open the area to make one large room. The bathroom and bedroom both have sliding doors that open onto a private, tiny, self-watering garden (for rooms on the main floor). It is all incredibly peaceful, with a feeling of subtle, clean, understated luxury. The spa, restored by Azumi, across the quiet street from the hotel, is the perfect place to unwind, with hot and cold tubs, sauna and steam room. Guests are encouraged to dine in the very comfortable thick cotton hotel T-shirts and pyjama pants. The hotel food is all traditional Japanese, a set menu, and served by smiling staff. It was entirely delightful. After dinner we were served tea in a gorgeous little tea room . After breakfast we took our coffee in a second floor lounge with garden views. Style and sophistication is the name of the game at Azumi Setoda. This is a perfect Japanese hotel in a lovely quiet town. Make sure you experience it!

We stayed here for one night in between our bike ride on the shimanami kaido. We choose to do the bike route in two days to relax and enjoy it. Room: We had a very good futon in our room. The decoration is very nice. It is clean and simple yet beautifull. Service: the staff is amazing here. They helped my boyfriend plan a romantic dinner in the restaurant opposite the hotel (also an amazing good restaurant!). Location: The hotel is in a good location on Ikuchijima. It is not that far off the main cycle route and the town is very nice to walk through. Not many people may stop during the bike route, but we do recommend it. It is important to also see the local culture and towns on the islands. Breakfast was served in SOIL and was amazing! You can choose for Japanese or western style breakfast. We personnaly prefer the Japanse breakfast. Their coffee is also quite good. The design of SOIL is very beautifull. We felt very relaxed during our breakfast. A special thank you to the hotel staff for helping plan our special moment at their hotel and at the restaurant. ＜3
