Iojima Island Vacations from ￥40,498

The hotel was lovely with spacious guest rooms with lots of luxurious details. The room lacked practical facilities like a place to put your clothes or suitcases which meant it looked cluttered all the time. The front desk staff were pleasant when they were there but seldom were able to be helpful. We were told that none of the restaurants on the property were open despite their posted hours, there was no option to send out laundry and even that there were no umbrellas available to borrow during a downpour. It was comical after a while! All in all, too much focus on luxury and not enough on the daily details.

Hotel staff was very friendly on check-in, lobby area very clean and neat, but dates some, especially including look of mix of furniture in lobby lounge area. Room was small, however nicely appointed with all I needed. The hallways of the hotel were immaculate and sparkled. The bathroom was very clean, however the room itself needed a serious deep edge-vacuuming. Dust could be seen along the edges of room and under the nightstand opening at the floor. Breakfast buffet offered multiple choices, included hot breakfast with Japanese options and continental options. Very nice breakfast. Onsen was very enjoyable and seemed to be kept very clean as well. Slippers and house clothes provided were not available for "larger" guests, but provided for average sized - one size fits most. Not the highest quality, but nice touch. Hotel provides a free hourly shuttle during day to downtown train station. Very convenient to go shopping, lunching, or to depart on train. As a side note, the hotel is a wedding destination hotel and specializes in large events. It is also located directly across from a small marina with attractions and restaurants.

Beautiful place to stay. Peaceful and well maintained. Gorgeous view of the city at night.

A nice property with an excellent view of Nagasaki. Those who don’t speak fluent Japanese may have a hard time here, as staff speak minimal English but do work hard to communicate despite this. Translation tools were very helpful for our stay. Despite the language barrier, staff were mostly welcoming and helpful. A good selection of amenities were provided, though difficult to locate at first, as they are located toward the back of the hotel, opposite to the check in desk and stairs and elevator and we were not able to find these until our second day of the stay, as we were not directed to the location. Rooms were generally clean and spacious - bigger than standard Japanese rooms. Housekeeping was scheduled daily, with a request to leave your physical room key (no room cards available) with the staff prior to departing the hotel for the day so they may enter. It was not an issue to forgo daily housekeeping. Breakfast had a good selection of both Japanese and Western style foods as well as prefectural specialities. The only issue we ran into is that we were not given breakfast tickets at check in, despite having paid for them at booking. Most staff were helpful to overcoming this small issue. Lounge access was from 3:00 - 9:00 pm and included a variety of drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and snacks, as well as a fantastic view of Nagasaki. 1 downside to this hotel is that it is at the top of a mountain, with limited public transit options. Taxi was convenient.
