There was not one power outlet close to the bed. They provide two extension cords plugged in together but the also only reach one side of the bed with no bedside table. The walls are very thin so it was a bit noisy

Location is very good and they have a private bath, so even guest with tattoos can enjoy an onzen.

The food at breakfast, in the Bain Marie was cold. For non Japanese speaking people it was a little challenging. When checking in it would’ve been helpful to have instructions (for us in English)written on cards.

The location was great. Just a short walk to shops, ferry and Torri Gate. The room was quite large as compared to other motels. Lovely outlook!

A few things, hard to justify $350 per night per person

I didn't like that the blinds in the room could not be fully secured for privacy. You can still see through the window even with the blinds close. There's also no parking available.

The location is great! Life Max is also Japan's best hotel for traveling pet owners. My husky and I were well welcomed.

The buffet food was cold. Hard pillow.

Tucked at the edge of town, a short walk ~10 from the pier, was beautiful to walk through the village. A bit hilly to get to the hotel. Polite and helpful staff (google translate is a saver). Freely choosing yukata and hot spring experience. Japanese family room with futon, tea set and maple tree views added to relaxing experience.

The location was within walking distance of the ferry terminal. Miyajima is very lively during the day as it is full of tourists, but after six o’clock it is so quiet - restaurants are few and close early (we found one of the best restaurants we have eaten in on our trip to Japan) - we would walk the Main Street in the evening and only see the occasional person. The hotel is a Ryokan so we had to get used to sleeping on the floor on futons - nevertheless an interesting experience .

Outdated facilities with off smells, old bedsheets with stains that need replacing, low-quality buffet, lack or incorrect english tags with the food

Private onsen bath on the terrace

No light switches beside the bed, which was inconvenient. Very few sockets for charging, especially beside the bed. Old looking carpets in the hallway. Poor WiFi in our area of the hotel which was annoying.

The location was great. Clean rooms and spacious. Nice little seated area. Near to everything in Miyajima. Rooms were spacious. The beds were comfy. Lots of lovely toiletries in the room. The Onsen was fab. The pool area was lovely, but the pool was not heated. Cool, relaxed vibe. Good value for money.

Property is very old and slightly dated. Needs some renovations.

Location was great. Walkable to everything. Staff was nice. Room had a private Onsen.

The room needed better cleaning. I moved a bed, looking for an item I dropped, and found underwear and socks and a lot of dust, left prior to my stay.

This was the largest room I’ve stayed in Japan. The size, private onsen stone tub on the porch, and vending machines were great. The dinner site was also interesting with a great selection of food.

Stayed in April 2025

The place was starting to look a little bit tired and needing a bit of maintenance. Overall was still a great stay

There were so many facilities included and conveniences such as vending machines on our floor and a shop next to reception. Our room was very large compared to most hotel rooms in Japan and had beautiful views looking over towards the water, we could even see the Itsukushima Shrine Otorii Gate. Our room also had a private onsen on the balcony which was an awesome inclusion!

A little bit run down in need of a little freshness.

Good location close to the main shopping area but nice and quiet after the tourists have gone away.

Stayed in November 2024

The location of the hotel is good, but not good routes with Google Maps. The app sent me to take a big walk with the luggage. Other thing was a men on the front desk at the night that was a little too much rude.

The room was really cool. We had access to private onsen and took the hot bath. Same way on the room was some extra things like beer and water that we could enjoy with no cost.

The property is old. The common areas are not very clean. The dining room smells terrible, the smell of cooked fish was around the entire hotel (i could smell it from the 3rd floor, the dining room is at the 6th). The hotel needs a renovation

We got the big room and it was amazing! Clean, with everything you need and spacious.

Staff need more training.

Room was spacious.

Here To be honest, aside from the cool room and great location, the thing I would mostly remember from this stay is the person at the reception who looked unhappy or annoyed when we arrived with our child. Our daughter was talking and having fun in her stroller when we arrived, but the receptionist's face did not look welcoming at all. This was not just on our arrival, but each time we passed by the reception, even when my wife was going out or in with our baby. Overall, our stay was cool, and we had a great time. However, unfortunately, this is the thing that we will remember most vividly from this experience.

The room was very spacious. It had a "big" balcony with a table and chairs outside. The bathroom had hot water and a nice view. The room itself was also very nice, with a TV, Bluetooth speaker, and instant drip coffee ♥️. In general, there was nothing to complain about, except for the almost non-functioning air conditioning (very, very low fan) and a loud fan located in the ceiling, which was very loud. I couldn't find a way to turn down the ceiling fan.

The staff didn't realize that the tatami setup was missing which is where the 3rd person sleep. The staff kinda scrambled to make it work but it seemed like there was some internal communication/confusion as to how many people were staying in my room which I communicated in advance to the hotel with my booking. The front desk manager resolved it quickly for me though.

Quiet and tucked away from the busy touristy street. Nice onzen tub on the balcony.

Stayed in November 2023

Room was dirty and on site baths were closed for men by the time of our arrival so we never got to use them. Staff were non existent, I never saw a soul after checking in. On-site amenities were minimal compared to other 'resorts' I have been to.

Nothing in particular stands out at this hotel.

Stayed in November 2023

Although there's a lot of options for dinner and breakfast, I feel the taste of some food is bland compared to other hotel (or maybe it's only me)

The room is spacious with our own private open air bath inside. Luxurious dinner dinner and breakfast with a lot of options (much more than any buffet dinner we ever have)

Stayed in November 2023

Facilities need a deep cleaning.........black mold in and around corners of the room.

The location can't be beat.........you are right in the heart of beatiful Miyajima and most of its attractions.

Buffet wasn’t grea.

Perfect for one night.
