Shodo Island hotel rooms a the Independent

"Beautiful location but be prepared for a manageable hike uphill.Breakfasts were delicious- including 7nlim8ted free coffee and juice. Very nice. Loved this place and would highly recommend. Drop your bags off at the Plum, and for a fee they will deliver it and return to the Plum when you leave. The Plum is right across from the ferry terminal. Quite a few steps up to the room and we did not see an elevator. There is a back way in, however, that should be good. A lovely visit and wonderful stay. Thank you!"

"There is no free parking. If you go by car, the parking is 1,000 yen paid in cash, in advance. That would have been good to know. The hotel is under some construction now, so it was a little messy."

"Right on the station. If you are noise sensitive, it may not be for you."

"Very good location"

"The staff were so kind and the room was very nice. Also the buffet breakfast was delicious!"

"Nice spacious room and friendly staff "

"The room was oddly shaped like a L and the toilet was one step too elevated to be safe. Nighttime toilet visits could get dangerous if you misstep in your sleepiness. The room opens up into a narrow corridor with the bed right at the end in a bigger space. Other than that, the location is splendid and shopping/food is readily available nearby, in fact BIC is just below the hotel. Good for a night's stay. Hotel staff are very helpful and speak English well. Pls continue with your excellent service. PS: To enter the hotel, turn right at the junction when you cross over from the train station and go round the building until you arrive at the hotel lobby. "

"Excellent service. Room was clean and comfortable. "

"connected to the station, the hotel is very convenient especially for anyone trying to get to Naoshima early in the morning. It’s a beautiful hotel with great food options."
