    Great traditional room - probably bigger than some of the other rooms we had travelling over the month. Fantastic island to stay at and it was great to experience a local stay. Breakfast was very basic but also very cheap if you wanted something when you woke up. While the bathroom was small the shower had good pressure which we weren't expecting. Awesome area to stay in so many walks to do, while it rained both days we really enjoyed our time. You get to see the port from your bedroom window which was lovely. Make sure you try the street Curry Oyster buns - Amazing!!!

    No issues at all!

    Location was amazing, super close to the ferry terminal and a short walk to the main attractions on the island. Staff spoke good English and were incredibly courteous, they also gave us some great recommendations on good places to eat nearby. Breakfast was the best value we had for our entire trip through Japan! The bread was so yummy!!

    The room and bathroom are quite small, but we had expected this. It didn’t take away from the enjoyment of our stay. There is also access to public bath on the lower floor of the hotel, and our floor had a shared shower room which was much more spacious and really handy - I popped in here to do my make up as there was more room for me to lay out my products

    We had a lovely stay at Sakuraya! The location was ideal, really close to the ferry port and main sites of the island. The room was so tranquil and cosy, we loved being able to lie on our comfy futons with the balcony door open and enjoy the sounds of nature. We were pleasantly surprised that we could use the public bath, as we have tattoos.

    The only thing I didn't like was cold scrambled eggs at breakfast. Breakfast was included free, so I hate to complain, but they hadn't just cooled down, they were served stone cold, as if intentional. Some Japanese foibles are hard to get used to, this was one of them.

    This is a lovely hotel with Japanese style room, tatami mats and futons, very comfortable, all amenities and a good size. We had a balcony overlooking the front of the hotel with a view of the lagoon, and the location was excellent, very near the ferry landing, two minutes walk to the main restaurant street and only five minutes walk to the famous red tori gate and shrine. The staff were lovely and very helpful. I had wanted to spend a night on Miyajima ever since my first day visit eleven years ago, and this hotel was the ideal place to stay to fulfil that ambition.

    The room had a bit of a smell to it. It was clean but an odor that I couldn’t place. The bathroom sufficed but was very cramped.

    The location was great! Very close to ferry, the Torii gate, shopping, etc. The price was very cheap. The staff was lovely as well.

    Perfect location, 5 min by foot from the ferry terminal in Miyajima and 5 min from the famous shrine. The staff was very nice. We got a Japanese-sttle room with tatami, tea table, cute kimono pyjamas and a small private bathroom. The view was great on both the seaside and mountain, though we had booked only a mountain view. There's also a public bath.

    I would 100% recommend staying on the island if possible. You get to watch the sunset without the worry of last ferries or an hour commute back to Hiroshima. Then you can get up early for the sunrise or first ropeway to the of the island at 9am before the day trippers start showing up. This was our first experience with futtons they were super comfy. Our room had a private toilet but shared shower. Shower was occupied when we checked but just went down to the baths to wash up there instead. If you get lucky the bath will be empty for a quick soak. You can beat $5 AUD for breakfast, even if a little unconventional (toast, jam, lettuce and tomato, cold sweet scambled eggs, with a juice and coffee)

    Although it didn't become an issue for us, the soundproofing between rooms isn't the best. We were prepared and had ear plugs but as I said, any noise died down at a reasonable hour and we had peaceful nights.

    This is a small hotel but superbly located on the sea front. There are only a few rooms facing the sea and we weren't able to get them for both our nights, but we did get one for our second night. Well worth the extra few yen! The staff were very helpful and kind. The breakfast at 500 JPY was perfectly adequate. They have a little bar on the ground floor. All in all, very happy with our choice.
