3-Star Hotels in Miyakojima

My overall experience staying at an apartment hotel in Japan this time was quite good. The room was more spacious than a typical hotel room and came with amenities like a kitchenette and washing machine, making it very convenient and home-like. It's especially suitable for longer trips or families. Coming back to the room every day and being able to truly relax definitely added a lot to my trip. While there were a few minor hiccups, such as not receiving the room number and password upon check-in and it taking a little time to contact the front desk, the hotel staff were very patient and helpful in resolving the issues, and their friendly attitude made me feel at ease. Overall, this stay was still pleasant and highly recommendable. Not only was it comfortable and convenient, but it also offered a more authentic feeling of living like a local. I would definitely consider choosing an apartment hotel again on my next visit to Japan.

The apartment had a kitchen, a living room for watching TV, and a washing machine. You could also rent bicycles. In the mornings, there was coffee and breakfast available. Enjoying the beautiful views from the rooftop, what a comfortable feeling, absolutely nothing to complain about! I'd definitely come back to Miyako Island again if I get the chance!

The hotel staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The location was very convenient, and the accommodation itself was spacious, comfortable, and spotlessly clean. We especially appreciated having the ability to cook our own meals, which made everything feel more relaxed and home-like. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and we had a truly great stay

It was a very pleasant stay! The staff are very helpful, gave me some great recommendations for food. Also they are very thoughtful to have helped arrange everything for you, from the time of breakfast to the moment you leave the hotel, they have got it all sorted and made sure also that we are fine with every decisions. The room has a good view facing the ocean where you can see the sunset, and it's super clean! Would highly recommend

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 :)

This was the best value hotel of our trip. Everything about the hotel was great, justifying the price. One highlight was the receptionist who helped us book a restaurant in Japanese; the service was excellent. There are plenty of restaurants, convenience stores, and supermarkets within a few hundred meters of the hotel, which is very convenient. It offers a distant view of the Irabu Bridge, which is also a short bike ride away. There are buses right outside the hotel that go to Shimoji Island or the airport.

The transportation is convenient, there is a bus to and from the airport nearby. There is a whole family within a 3-minute walk. There are many small shops to eat next to. There is a supermarket 10 minutes' walk away, with sashimi and cooked food abundant and cheap. As a chain hotel, the facilities are excellent. For diving enthusiasts, there is a washing area, and the cleaning of wet clothes and equipment is very convenient.

ダイビングで利用しました。洗濯機は助かりましたが、ベランダに干せる設備があったら良かったと思います。

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.”

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.
