3-Star Hotels in Miyakojima

I'll probably never forget that night. I'm a 20-year-old girl, and this was my first solo trip. It was the off-season when I went, and although I booked a dorm room, I was the only one there. The place was run by a mother and her two daughters. The staff at check-in were very welcoming. It just so happened that it was a rare sunny day, and the staff invited me to go stargazing with them that evening. That night, the five of us (plus a Korean guy who was also solo) went together. We drove to a very secluded spot on the island. It was the first time I'd ever seen so many stars; the entire sky was filled with them, densely packed. I was so amazed, it felt like a dream. I grew up in a city in Jiangsu and had never seen so many stars before, nor did I know fireflies could fly so high. I felt incredibly happy and lucky. I regret not being able to say a proper goodbye when I left. (Actually, the hotel was very new and clean. I feel the seller's photos don't do it justice… there was no odor, and the shared bathrooms and showers were very clean. It's very close to the beach; a beautiful beach is just a ten-minute walk away.)

The giant whale outside makes it easy to spot the hotel! Check-in is at the back. There's free outdoor parking, but you'll need an umbrella if it rains to get into the hotel. They have a great selection of free items to borrow, which is a nice touch. There's an elevator inside, so you don't have to lug your luggage up to higher floors yourself. The room has a kitchen, so you can buy food and cook your own meals. The floor in our 4th-floor room wasn't wood, which made it a bit cold to walk on, but they did provide disposable indoor slippers.

The hotel is in a good location to explore several regions of the island. Coffee is great and the breakfast options were worth it. The room is spacious and very quiet. The team was friendly and did everything they could to make us feel comfortable. The car we rented broke and they even helped us get the car working again. Thank you so much for your hospitality, we will be back! ありがとうございます :)

Great experience in Miyakojima! Location: The hotel is located in the center of the city, which is super convenient as a starting point to anywhere of the island: from here, the taxi to any direction is within 30 minutes at a cost of less than 3,000 yen. There is a FamilyMart across the road and you can get anything needed easily. And there are a lot of good dining places in the neighborhood. I made no reservation to any restaurant but just take a short walk randomly to the nearby restaurant every day and always find delicious food (there is one Japanese-style wagyu BBQ across the street which is super good!). Room: The room is cozy and spacious. You won’t feel it too narrow to open your suitcase as hotels in Japan elsewhere. The bed is comfortable. Facilities: There is a microwave in each floor, which is useful especially you need to leave early in the morning and have no time for breakfast. And there are also washing machines and dryers on the 1st floor, which is a must-have if you have activities in the sea. If there is any improvement I must say, that is the light in the room is too dim and it is not easy to do makeups.

I used it for diving. The washing machine was helpful, but I wish there was a facility to dry on the veranda.

This hotel is conveniently located near the main ***** in downtown. There are lots of restaurants, bars and ports. The staff are incredibly friendly and polite. And if you visit beaches, it goes without saying just how convenient it is to have a laundry machine in your room. You can even enjoy an onsen on the top floor. But in my opinion it's better in the winter.

The bathroom and sink area were separate, so it wasn't inconvenient even when used by a family. Amenities were well-provided, and the bathtub was great for relaxing after a long day of sightseeing. In particular, the fully equipped kitchen allowed for simple cooking and breakfast preparation, and the presence of a washing machine made it very convenient for a long-term stay. Being able to wash swimwear or clothes immediately during the trip was a major advantage. The refrigerator, microwave, and tableware were neatly organized, making it feel as comfortable as a small apartment. Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone looking for accommodation that feels ”as comfortable as home.”

This time I used it on a fishing trip. It is a night stay because it is early in the morning. Especially good was the washing machine and it was very helpful. The dryer was free and the building was compact but clean and easy to spend. There is also a good dryer rental that is happy for women. The overall service content and the customer service of the staff were also good. There are other stores, so I would like to use them as well.

また次回も機会があればぜひ泊まりたいと思えるホテルでした。 24時間で出入り自由ですし、部屋に冷蔵庫、電子レンジ、電気ケトル、ヘアドライヤー、歯ブラシなどのアメニティも充実していて、とても充実した滞在になりました！ お風呂もバスタブがついてるので 入りたければお湯をためることも可能でした。 唯一、机だけもう少し広い方が助かるかなという感じでした。(部屋で食事をしていたので) 私自身は違いますが、喫煙者の方がいらっしゃれば部屋で喫煙も可能だったかと思います。(1階に貸し出し用灰皿があったので) 場所は空港からは割と近めで徒歩でも行ける距離でした。近くにはスーパー、コンビニもあり、飲食店もちらほらありました。市街中心の一番栄えてるエリアへは少し移動が必要ですが車であれば5分もないほどで行けます。 一つだけ、受付が基本は15:00〜しか空いていないので時間外に用がある場合は連絡が必要でした。 早朝や夜遅めの便で来られる方で、用がある方はあらかじめ連絡しておくと時間のロスがないかと思います。

Contrary to my expectations from the photos, the hotel turned out to be a disappointment. First of all, the information on Trip.com does not match reality. The site stated check-in from 2:00 and check-out until 11:00. In fact, check-in is from 3:00 and check-out is by 10:00. The staff gave no explanation for this discrepancy. Secondly, the site confirmed a room in the new building. However, I was placed in the old building, which, judging by the exterior, looks like it was built in the 19th century. The room matched the condition of the building. All the furniture was very old and worn out, some even with mold. The view and access from the window was onto a shared balcony, which meant that to maintain privacy I had to keep the curtains closed at all times. The noise isolation was terrible — neighbors were loud from 7 AM to 11 PM, making it impossible to sleep. Speaking of the beds, the mattress was extremely hard and the pillows were stiff and uncomfortable. As for breakfast: not only was it limited to 7–9 AM, but the website had advertised a buffet with both European and Japanese options. Upon arrival, it turned out that there were no European options at all, only a fixed Japanese set meal. The only good thing was that at least coffee was available. The hotel has no beach, despite being close to the sea. There is only access to a rocky embankment, where swimming is unsafe. I used the coin laundry service, paying 300 yen just for my clothes to be rinsed in water. There was no detergent provided, nor was it sold at the hotel — I had to go out and buy it separately. The dryer only partially dried the clothes, so I had to finish drying them in the room. If you plan to come by car, keep in mind that there is no lighting in the surrounding area, so driving in such darkness doesn’t feel very safe. Overall, if you are looking for a proper rest and relaxation, I cannot recommend this hotel at all.
