Onomichi hotel rooms a the Independent

"This is an exceptional hotel. So many nice touches. Like a Dyson hair dryer in the room. Who does that? Great location. Walking distance to everything. "

"Hotel has everything you need to enjoy your stay in the city. Very close to bike rental places."

"Just the most incredible experience we've ever had in a hotel. So much more that just a hotel, it's a whole Japanese luxury experience. Every member of staff was just incredible - friendly, efficient and really made the experience from the moment we stepped off the dock on the island because they met us there. The rooms are stunning - the pictures don't do them justice. The gardens are beautiful throughout the hotel - they feel very traditionally Japanese. The bathhouse is also stunning, I would recommend trying it even if you never have before! The dinner was incredible, their chef is extremely talented. The breakfast is perfect, a very traditional Japanese breakfast or a choice of a very good western breakfast if you don't fancy it. They managed to book us everything we wanted to do, from hiring bikes to organising a SUP tour. The island itself is so relaxing, a very different pace to busy Japanese cities. And the scenery around the islands is like nothing else, completely stunning. This was the hotel we planned our honeymoon around and I am so glad we did. "

"Really nice apartment in Onomichi. We stayed as a group of 4 and fit comfortably. It's close to the main station and town centre and only a quick bus ride from Shin Onomichi if you are catching the Shinkansen. Hosts were easy to communicate with and responded quickly. Air con in all rooms was very welcomed in the summer heat. There is no lift though and a slightly narrower staircase so if you are bringing larger luggage it's a little trickier to get to the 3rd floor! Would absolutely recommend staying here and hope we can again in the future."

"Fan in unit did nothing, temperature was too warm to be comfortable. Usual snore-a-thon on the men’s side. They could have spaced guests out better rather than concentrating in same area. Ran out of towels by 8:00 am "

"Hotel with extraordinary view on the city and landscape. Spacious room, great coffeebar, excellent food. Very helpful, friendly staff. "

"Every thing was great. Room lighting is very dim. Toilet button was not working. "

"The place is OLD, in poor conditions, stuck in 1970s badly in need of a renovation to bring it up to today' standards. Do not stay there unless you had to like I did - emergency! "
