Independent, Kintaikyo Onsen hotels

"The property was a little dated but would have been very opulent in its day. Large rooms, comfortable beds and lovely views. The shuttle bus to the station was a huge bonus."

"Really friendly staff. Great location not far from ferry. Comfortable, bar, coffee area. "

"The location, services, various restaurants, walking trails particularly along the shore and the mountain were excellent. However, the Front Desk people should have been aware that best place to withdraw Yen from US debit card is at Hiroshima Station South Entrance ATM machine. They did not know and I had to find out it out myself. "

"Provided meals were spectacular. Amenities, including rooftop lounge and baths were also stellar. Exceptional service, exceptional bedding. The best hotel experience I've ever had."

"Amazing hotel. I stayed in a traditional Japanese style room with tatami mats and futons to lay out for bedding. The room had a forest view overlooking some beautiful trees and I even spotted a baboon coming out of the forest one morning while relaxing. Traditional dinner and breakfast is included. Dinner was several courses of delicious Japanese delicacies. Sushi, hot pot, too much to list. Breakfast was no less. The staff was incredibly polite and helpful with everything I needed. I believe they offer a shuttle service back to the ferry as I was offered one when I checked in. The next morning when checking out there was no mention of it, but I was pleased to enjoy the short walk back through the shopping areas and seeing the torii gate again anyway. I wound up spending the entire next day on the island climbing Mount Misen so skipping the shuttle was a blessing in disguise. I definitely recommend this hotel"

"Confortable and charming ryokan experience. Excellent dîner and breakfast and amazing personel. "

"My stay was absolutely amazing everyone was very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast in the lobby is very tasty. "

"Great setting. Beautiful traditional setup"

"An amazing property, we were very well looked after from start to finish. Food and service was great, staff helped cooking traditional Japanese meals in buffet restaurant. We had previous poor reviews, but we certainly could not find fault in any part of our stay. We would return without hesitation."
