We were very excited about our stay on Naoshima island. This hotel however was a big disappointment especially for the price!! First it was very difficult to find, there is a small 8 x 10 pc of paper on a small poll that has a tiny map to the hotel. When you finally do make it to the hotel, it looks very cute,, Muji inspired, very minimalist.
There was one parking spot and it never mentioned in the site that it was paid parking so I paid ¥2000 for parking. We paid an additional ¥2000 for breakfast which was not delicious, a bowl of greens with dressing, a soup, and a pc of bread the second night we ate dinner at the restaurant, the nain couse pasta looked like dog food and tasted like cardboard! It was disgusting, I returned it only to have it come back looking and tasting the same!
I think the Worst part of the stay were the beds! So uncomfortable I never got a good nights sleep, I would have preferred a futon than the mattresses on the beds! it was horrible!
I think the bare minimum is a comfortable bed to sleep in, with decent food! In 4 years Of living in japan this is my only negative review!!!
