Hotéis em Ishigaki

Prós: Great food and service .....staff typically Japanese .....amazing

Contras: Air conditioning not the best ......but to be fair .....there was a typhoon

Prós: Bed is very good

Contras: No coffee provide

Prós: Even though we did not use the outdoor facilities due to bad weather, the indoor public bath and multiple options for the meals made the staying very convenient. Ground floor restaurant offers a great value for money in their buffet lunch.

Prós: Super nice staff. Really complete buffet. Bus stop at the entrance. Very big rooms and confortable beds. Not overcrowded pool. Very big onsen. Massage service.

Contras: There is not much to do close to the hotel but in a 15 minutes walk you are in the city center.

Prós: Good location to explore Ishigaki, helpful staff who helped us to book restaurant reservations, good focus on eco-friendly travel with options in-room, lovely Panamas provided for use in the hotel, modern and clean decor

Prós: Onsen

Contras: No shower gel, shampoo etc in the swimming pool showers

Prós: Pool/Spa/Entertainment for family/crafts

Contras: Room carpets need cleaning or replace. Toilet seat needs replace or repair. Hotel cleanliness and facilities in common areas was a 10, but our room was a 6-7.

Prós: This hotel is about 2 mins walk to the ferry terminal, and walking distance to many eateries. Over our 5 nights stay here, we stayed at various rooms - the Japanese room with the tatami mats and futon, the Hollywood twin room, the port view twin room and the suite with terrace on the highest 13th floor. Tatami mats in the Japanese rooms are nice but the area is a little small and the futons are a little thin. The WC and shower are separated in the Japanese room. The Hollywood twin room and port view twin rooms are fine for 2 persons but a little tight for 3. Bathrooms are a little small to fit two persons in the twin rooms. There are only two suites on the 13th floor. The suite is way more spacious with the WC, shower and wash basin areas separated, a big terrace on the side and a balcony in front. The terrace and balcony offers a great view of the port and sea but the walls could do with a little repainting. We loved the buffet breakfast every morning. There is free flow Japanese food, Okinawa dishes, Western selection, good espresso, ice cream. The variety of fresh fruits can be improved. Another percularity is that they do not provide knives to butter or speed the jam on the toast / croissant. Breakfast may seem a little expensive but we soon realised that there are not many choices for breakfast outside the hotel, and for the amount we ate, it was definitely worth it. Over alternate days, some of the dishes vary, so we did not get sick of the food.

Contras: I was awakened up by noise from the port every morning if the balcony door was not closed. But closing the doors filtered out the noise significantly. All rooms face the port / sea and no rooms face inland. This also meant that there are no rooms on the other side of the corridor and as the corridors did not have windows, you will feel the weather immediately upon exiting your rooms. It is the same with the hotel lobby - you will feel the wind immediately outside the lobby doors. There are 3 TOP-load washers and 3 dryers at a sheltered but open-air area on the ground floor of the hotel. Each wash cost 300Y and every 30 mins of drying cycle cost 100Y. There is washing powder free for one to use. The washers are not exactly coin-operated - you need to turn on the washers then go to the lobby, pay 300Y, then will the washers start. So in cold and windy weather, do wear warm clothes when you do the laundry as you will feel the wind while walking back and forth. Despite paying for the dryers, they are really lacking in performance and the clothes are not dry even after 2 cycles and despite not overloading them. Both the washers and dryers are in need of updating.

Prós: Great location, good value for money. The room was very spacious and had a very nice view to the port. Check in is early (14:00) which is very convenient.

Contras: The room had a weird smell. Facilities felt a bit old.

Prós: Very nice and helpful staff. I can communicate with them in English easily. In addition, I like their eco room cleansing policy.

Contras: It’s a little bit of noisy at the pier even at the night time.

Prós: Convenience

Contras: Staff are kind

Prós: Location is good ,staffs are friendly

Prós: centre position, easy to travel to any place of the island.

Contras: breakfast too expensive

Prós: Close to ferry and bus terminal for easy transfer to airport and back. Close to shopping district and famous Yagijiru shop. Room was spacious and the view of the ocean was amazing.

Prós: The view and size is bigger than expectation.

Prós: Not the newest hotel, but ok for the price and location. Breakfast included a large choice of noodles.

Contras: Breakfast.

Prós: The crew is kind and helpful.

Contras: They have only 2 shitty bikes for more than 50 rooms. When we booked a room they promised a mobile phone for the accomodation but it was a lie.

Prós: Excellent breakfast, a small bar with drinks. The table with small lotion packets and hand cream was also very thoughtful!

Contras: Pillow was very hard

Prós: Breakfast is very Okinawa-style and I like it.

Contras: The lighting in room is a bit too dark, there's some noise around the TV area as well, may be the air-conditioner or may be the room next door.

Prós: Location is good.

Contras: The room not light enough, too dark. My friends are no feeling well in every night.

Prós: Super friendly and helpful staff. Bikes available for loan. Not in best condition, but those worked. Location was good. Close to many restaurants and shops, but still it was quiet and peaceful. Breakfast was good and the free Awamori was nice add.

Contras: Room had little bit funny smell. Don't know was there moist or something.

Prós: Location was good as it was near the town centre and ferry port. Accessible when taking ferries to other islands. Breakfast looks great!

Contras: Room was small and dull looking, unlike the photos shown. No housekeeping service.
